Hi there. I had my first real binge since starting to diet 3 months ago. Not sure why but I just had to have a Pizza Hut smore's cookie. I ate half of it and now feel ill.

I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital. I don't think that we will have her much longer. She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body. I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
