I just recently went on a 5 day eating binge. It started Wednesday and ended this evening (hopefully). I have been exercising and dieting for a little over 165 days and have lost 45 pounds. I was doing really well but I felt completely helpless.
Does anyone have any tips for getting back on the ball? I know i need to because the scale has gone up 6 pounds.

You may want to look at your diet and see if you are restricting calories too much, because that can cause binging later. You think you can never have it so when you do eventually have it you end up having way too much of it. 45 lbs in 165 days is a rapid weight loss, so perhaps that's what's going on. Allow yourself a small treat a few times every week and you will probably not feel so deprived I am not able to manage "small treats" because I end up eating the whole thing, so I just do a big treat once a week and have been losing slowly but steadily!
You've done amazingly well with the weight loss so far. You can get back on track. Don't give up.
I think what the others have suggested is good.
And getting yourself mentally back in the game is mostly important. Give yourself positive messages and no beating self up. Figure what it was that got you on the binge. Was it emotional, stress etc. Have you been depriving yourself totally of treats?
I hope you are ok and I wish you the best.
I have been off and a lot of factors - on antibiotics, feeling blue, worried about money, work pressure...the shares are helpful to me.
Hamley - I love the sharing too!
Have a great week everyone!!!!!
