problem with food....
i feel horrible. its my 14th birthday today && i feel really bad cause i had a sundae at Friendlys. I ate a bowl of cereal in the morning (SPECIAL K) then ate hardly any of my lunch salad. I finished the whole birthday sundae. when i got home, i had two pieces of bread & olive oil. i didnt know what i wanted for desert & i kept opening things & then being grossed out by myself & throwing them out after taking a few bites. i made hot cocoa at first, but once i got past the marshmellows i dumped it down the drain. i diet all week & on the weekend i tend to splurge alot. it doesnt totally derail me-my stomachs flat again the next morning. but i think i have a problem with food. wheneve i indulge, i think i want to "make it worth the mistake" so i tend to eat alot of junk. my diet worries ruined my birthday & i need help! now

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
I know what you are trying to do with the dieting, but you have to be careful, especially around your age. You need all the nutrition that food can give you so that you can grow into a healthy person. I think that you are just hungry. Eat an apple, have bread or pasta... something that will fill you up, but is also good for you. It looks like you were trying to do that. Also, don't feel guilty about eating a little dessert (or splurging on a lot of dessert every once in a while). If you're positive that you aren't hungry, find something else to do with your time to keep boredom away. Hope I helped!

i think you're just worrying about what you eat too much. learn to eat healthier and exercisee, which are the two main things to (in a healthy way) maintain a good weight.
by the way, there's nothing wrong with eating a sundae! it's fine to eat junk sometimes, especially on your birthday!

I absolutely agree with the Wallflower. It sounds like you have an emotional attachment to food that is making you overeat and undereat, and you have to put it out of your mind - I used to be exactly the same and it got to the point where it really started taking over my life.
Instead of overthinking what you eat every day, thinking about calories and carbs and sugars and etc etc, when you are about to eat something, take a moment of time to close your eyes and listen to your body and what it wants. If you really think about how different foods make you feel and the effect they have on you emotionally and physically, rather than just how they might affect you superficially, it's much easier to determine what your body can handle. Often you'll find that all you really want is a piece of fruit or some water - sometimes you'll find that you can handle a bigger meal or something with more sugar or fat in it than normal. It sounds like you were eating based on the occasion rather than what you needed or wanted and that is the worst trap to fall into. Try not to eat based on events or emotions, but to really listen to your body, and eating won't be such a battle.

It's not your diet that ruined your birthday, it's your emotional problems that are associated with food that ruined your birthday.
You're too insecure about yourself, that's why you diet, and that's why breaking your diet made you feel bad on your birthday.
Learn to accept and love who you are, stop counting how many calories you eat, stop keeping track of what foods you eat everyday.
