Dealing with the guilt from a “binge”

5ft4 female, 19, 160lbs.

I’ve been making good choices recently and have been keeping it up solidly for a little while. I’ve been getting more and more urges every day and today I cracked. Before that I had a healthy lunch of 490 calories and planned to have a 600 calorie dinner but on the way home I had a sudden crazy craving for chocolate. I have always struggled with having far too much chocolate and other sweets at once and the urge has finally come back

I bought two large sharing sized bars and ate one (700ish cals on its own) then spurred by cravings from eating so much sweet stuff and hunger I made an extra large portion of spaghetti with generous sauce (900, maybe 1000 calories) and I have already had a 450 calorie lunch. I’ve thrown away the other chocolate bar, unwrapped into the bin so I won’t be tempted.

Even though this wasn’t a binge like I used to experience, it was so many calories in one day and I feel fucking awful. Approx 2200 when I only burn 1800 a day.

How do I redeem myself tomorrow? I’m tempted to just starve myself the whole day! I know I won’t gain fat from this one bad day but I’m terrified to see any kind of gain on the scales. I feel terrible. How do I deal with this?
