I've 2 stone to lose to get just in a healthy BMI range. I weighed this 3 years ago after following slimming world but when I stopped SW, I gained it back. Then I fell pregnant and put on even more weight obviously. My baby is 3 months and I'm back to my pre pregnancy weight but I really want to get back to my weight 2 years ago.

I was entering details on mfp, 1500 a day, which was going to give me a deficit of 650 a day, meaning 1 - 1.5lb off week. (Step counter says I burn 1800 a day, plus 350 for BFing)

1500 was suiting me fine for 10 days - it was two decent snacks and 3 decent meals, I wasn't hungry: overnight oats for brekky, salad/wrap/soup for lunch, curry/pasta/salad/baked pot etc for dinner. I was having fruit and yog mid morning and some dark chocolate with a cuppa in the evenings. Easy peasey.

Then yesterday. I toasted a pitta bread and dipped it in hummus. Thought, hmm, that's nice, I'll have another. And another. And another. Ate all 6. Wtf.

Then, I think sod the diet, I want carbs... bought a massive pizza from the shop, ate it all. I also bought a tub of ben and jerrys, ate the whole thing.

I mean, what the actual hell.

I wanted it, so I had it. I knew I'd be dissapointed and regretful, but I didn't care.

I was so full I vomited before bed.

What do I need to do to stop this happening again? Please help me!

You need to be honest with yourself as to WHY you're eating like this. It certainly isn't because your body needs the food. Are you bored? Do you sit around at home too much? Are you stressed and then deal with it by bingeing? When the urge hits to eat when you shouldn't, you need to have a plan in place. Go for a walk, clean the bathroom, Do some yoga, whatever.
