Answers:
Your binge doesn't sound all that bad. Your weight will be fine, as long as you don't keep overeating. Congrats on eating healthy for most of October!Health Question & Answer

Hah, I wish I had your willpower. When I get the munchies, I go make some toast with butter and jam or golden syrup, eat a packet of crisps or something, etc. From what you ate, chances are you've hardly gained anything at all. And if that's a relapse, your body will probably thank you for it.
Don't starve yourself; studies have shown that snacking, when moderated, can help speed up your metabolism, which means you'll lose weight faster when you're doing whatever it is you're doing.
So yeah, don't worry about it, and don't starve yourself. Eat three square meals a day (triangular meals are fine too, just stay away from pentagonal meals) and have small, healthy snacks when you get hungry, like portions of fruit or vegetables (an apple, a couple of clementines, a carrot, etc). They'll be even better for you than these non-fat yoghurts, seeing as you're getting all sorts of vitamins and minerals, not to mention the fiber that will also help speed up your metabolism.Health Question & Answer

DON'T PANIC!!! The diet gods will forgive you. The question is will you forgive yourself.?

Here's a tip I've seen repeated over and over again by doctors, nutritionists, body-builders, and fitness experts alike: It's OK to "cheat" on your diet every once in a while. In fact, many of the books I've read actually encourage you to eat one cheat-meal a week. Why.? There are a couple of reasons: (1) Strict diets are pretty much doomed to fail, so if you allow yourself to indulge once a week you won't feel so deprived during the rest of the week while you're sticking to a more healthy diet. (2) Cheat meals are also a good way of rewarding yourself for a job well done. You said you have been doing well all month -- GOOD ON YOU for that. Pat yourself on the back and don't look at last night as a failure. (3) Eating a bigger meal, or one that has some of that bad-for-you stuff in it can actually give your metabolism a boost.

To answer your question: One night of munchies isn't going to reflect on the scale that much, if at all. If you're weighing yourself every day you're weighing yourself way too often. Don't be a slave to the scale. You obviously have discipline and determination if you've done well on your diet all month, so keep up the good work, forgive yourself for last night, treat yourself a little more often, and don't weigh yourself any more than once a week (once every two weeks would be better).

You're doing great! Hang in there, and best of luck!Health Question & Answer

Where's the problem.? I wouldn't eat the ice cream, the cheese or the eggs, but the other things are whole, real foods. Like was already said, it's not like you ate a dozen Twinkies and a box of cookies. Last night I had a bowl of Kashi Autumn Wheat cereal (it was my dinner; Everybody else was having pizza and I didn't care to cook either and it looked good), a couple of blueberry waffles from Trader Joe's (that I would not have bought if I had known they weren't whole wheat; I will shave them for snack food) with Smart Balance spread and real maple syrup, popcorn, a black berry coffee cake my MIL made for me (she veganized the recipe with Tofutti Better than Sour Cream, apple sauce instead of eggs and whole wheat flour instead of white, so it was practically healthy, but it was my "junk"), an orange and a bowl of frozen strawberries and blueberries.

So you may have eaten a bit more than what you normally would. 'Tis not the end of the world as you know it.Health Question & Answer

Relax. Everyone falls back now and then, and you didn't eat enough fatty food to gain a lot of weight -- I'd say maybe half a pound, if anything. Just tell yourself that just because you screwed up one night, that doesn't mean you're going to overeat every day. Look at it as a lesson, and remember how you feel right now the next time you want to overeat. Hang in there!Health Question & Answer

Probably nothing. You don't gain weight in one night. You need to address your eating habits. Try to focus on healthy choices rather than starving yourself. That way you won't feel tempted to binge. Health Question & Answer

none... 3000 calories equals one pound and i'm not positive about the calorie count of all of that, but i'm pretty sure it's not 3000Health Question & Answer

All that you ate with the munchies looks like pretty healthy foods. A relapse to me would be eating a box of Twinkies or a bunch of cookies.
You're fine !Health Question & Answer

none, everything you ate was healthy & not junk
so unless you ate 3500kcal of extra stuff then i doubt you gained Health Question & Answer
