Answers:
You will gain weight but if you eat normal for the next two days, you will regain your normal weight. Binge eating is not normal and is an addiction. You will find soon that your bingeing will increase if you don't stop now. Keep in mind the following about food and our relationship with it:

Diets and changing your eating to healthy food choices can work but because we know so little about ourselves and our relationship with food, it makes it difficult to win the battle. A lot of us have problems with dieting because we have a problem called "emotional eating" we eat to comfort ourselves during difficult, stressful, sad, etc times in our lives.

You may experience all those emotions during dieting as we continuously get on the scale hoping to see a big difference in numbers after dieting only for a day or two. Also what is stressful when dieting is that we try to lose a large number of weight in such a short period of time which in most cases is unreasonable.

This all brings about stress, discomfort and sadness. When we feel this way, we turn to our best friend for help and support which for many of us is food. The diet is now broken and we feel that we can't stick to diets. We then try fad diet after fad diet hoping to lose the original 20 pounds and now we may have as much as 30 pounds to lose because we continue to put on weight as we continue to break these fad diets by binging before starting our next diet.

Please learn about your relationship with food before your next diet so that you may achieve your goals. To help a little, keep in mind the following:

You already know how to lose weight. You know that if you eat less and exercise more eventually you’ll see the pounds come off. What’s getting in your way? Why do you usually regain the weight you lost? The answer to all these questions is the same “Emotional Eating.” Simply defined, emotional eating means you eat to satisfy emotional hunger; it means you use food for comfort or as a way to cope with life; and it means you eat for reasons other than what your body needs. Whenever you reach for a boredom-breaking snack despite your commitment, or whenever you eat to quell anxiety, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you binge after a fight, or double up on portions because your day turned sour, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you feel that sharp craving for your favorite food, that’s emotional eating. When we eat during these times while on a diet, we believe the diet doesn’t work or that we lack self control and then look for the quickest way to lose weight (fasting/diet pills, ect) after eating all we can since we already messed the diet day up. Read the information below but remember that emotional eating plays a big part in why we don’t continue dieting and why we regain lost weight and why we binge today and start a new diet tomorrow. Best of Luck.

P.S. After learning about my relationship with food, I was able to drop my weight from 263 pounds down to 151 pounds which is a 112 pound weight lost.

you gain weight

It sounds like food is your comfort. It really isn't healthy and if you're afraid you'll gain a bunch of weight, just excercize, and try not to eat like that again.

You will get very bloated and probably gain some weight. but dont stress about it or you may trigger another binge. I suggest making an appointment with your doctor to talk about it

you'll probably gain about 4 lbs. i'm just assuming since i've been in that boat b4. i suggest healthy diet tomorrow w/exercise if you wanna get those extra pounds off. sorry ur hurting ..
just don't overdo the gym & try 2 occupy urself from going on a binge again
lots of h20 & fruits n' veggies

you Will gain weight, but the sooner you get back to normal eating the sooner you can get the weight back off. If binge eating continues then you need to see a professional, before it turns into a eating disorder. You might also want to see if something is bothering you and you are trying to resolve it by eating. If you can track that down and resolve the real issue. because binging wont solve the problem

Stop and forgive yourself,then move on. You should drink lots of water to help flush your system. The next time you feel a binge coming on,go take a walk or eat a bunch of raw veggies and drink lots of water. It also helps to keep busy by doing something to keep your hands busy,stay away from the television. Having sugar,first thing in the morning is not a good idea,you tend to want to eat all day without abandon. Actually avoiding simple sugars as much as possible throughout the day will help to prevent another binge.
Good luck to you and give yourself a pat on the back for stopping.
