Binge in Food Angst

I binged yesterday. After a successful weight loss of 53 lbs, about 2 weeks ago I tried to introduce more normal eating into my life. I still log all my information into my fitness app every day, but I was allowing the occasional treat and had increased to 1400-1500 calories per day. I was doing well, still eating healthy 99% of the time and feeling good. Yesterday something happened and I ate all day long. Some regular food, some junk food. I culminated it with 5 popsicles last night and felt slightly nauseated. I went to bed and couldn’t sleep. I was awake until 5 am, even after an ambien. Things are going on and I had a high anxiety level. Some small things that I just find stressful because I’m weird, but some real life stress. Even so, I am back to my routine today. Regular logging on the app. Now, I am going to eat healthy all day and remember how this all went haywire yesterday and try to avoid that level again with other coping mechanisms. I am 63 years old. I thought I had this beat, but it seems it will be there forever. Still, eating “clean” feels so much better and that keeps me at it…I know this…I can fix this. The issues in my head…another matter entirely, lol.
