Can you gain weight back from one binge?

I just went crazy and ate tons of chinese food and cake like things and macaroni and cheese and im soooo full and feel gross...i just lost 22 lbs...will i gain some of it back from this?

Well if you overeate of course you'll gain some weight, but who says it will even be a pound? It's fine to overeat every now and then, and if you're overrestricting its just about unpreventable. The desire to binge eat out of controll is your bodies way of saying you havn't been eating enough and its worried there is a famine. No worries if it was just once, but you can't make it a regular habbit or the weight will creep back on. If it looks in the morning like you've gained a few, its water weight. It is highly unlikly you gained more than two pounds, and if you did that than you'd have to have eaten a LOT. (There are 3,500 calories in a pound of fat of course, so you'd have to have close to 9,000 calories today. It would be extremly hard for most people to do this.) Try to keep a deficit of no more than 400 calories a day and you will not have the desire to binge eat. With a 400 defitcit, you'll lose weight slowly but your mind will not always be on food and you diet and you can keep your wieght in the VERY back of your mind.
