Hey Katy,
just to add my thoughts to everyone elses.... I hardly see 10 biscuits as a binge, just a waste of calories really.... if I had of eaten 10 biscuits I would just be extra careful with what I ate. I am trying not to think of food as good or bad, if I enjoy even if it is full of calories it is good to me. This doesn't mean that I can eat high calorie good all of the time. Here is an example of my Saturday and Sunday. Saturday I had breakfast as normal, 1 very thick slice of home made bread with low sugar jam and a banana. We decided to go to the Carvery for lunch but I had decided that we would only have carvery and no dessert... but... ate all my carvery (had roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings, cauliflower cheese and runner beans smothered in butter) and was full.... but the dessert is so so yummy and I really wanted one, fudge sensation which is whipped cream, chocolate ice cream, chocolate brownie, choc flakes and wafers, but I just couldn't resist it even though I WAS FULL.... but it did keep me full for the rest of the day and it was only for about an hour before bed that I actually felt hungry and I decided that I had really enjoyed lunch and it would be better not to eat my last meal especially as I hadn't been hungry all evening.... you know what, I got up next morning, weighed myself (serial weigher here) and I had actually lost 0.4lb.... how on earth??? Anyway, Sunday is always a bad day as I have lots of people for dinner, son and girlfriend and anyone elses friends who come to church with them.... we had Gnocchi, Ariabatta sauce, pepperami and bacon, plus french stick to mop up the juices, and then rhubarb crumble and apple crumble for dessert with cream and custard. Not only did I have seconds of the main course (I have mentioned before that I tend to take a small first helping so when I have seconds it isn't as bad as it sounds) but I also had second helpings of the bread and second helpings of dessert too.... Yesterday evening I was full until around 7, but knew it was better not to have a full blown supper. I was also worried that if I chose to have the supper I would probably totally blow the day. Instead I opted for 2 chocolate snack a jacks and a cup of tea which actually helped to fill the gap... today I got on the scales and have stayed the same, so really pleased. I dont see those days as bad days, just days when I chose the higher calorie options, I also try to adjust my eating to account for this... So in your position I would have eaten the biscuits and then adjusted my next meal to account for it by eating something healthier... well done on getting straight back on plan, hope you are having a good day today.
