Don't be so hard on yourself. It happens to a lot of us. I think we get fooled into thinking we can handle something if we are stable or if we haven't had a bad attack in a while. It's like we can't recall how miserable it can be until we have another horrific episode and then swear that we'll never cheat again. For you it sounds like you went overboard with way too many things consecutively. You might be able to handle say a slice of pizza while you're out if you only eat a few bites of the cheese and then all crusts. I know technically you're not supposed to have it at all, but you may be able to tolerate that little bit. My family all knows to pass me their crusts when they are done so this way I don't have to order 3 slices, scrape off the cheese, and eat the dough to feel full!
What probably put you over the edge was that the eating of triggers snowballed and now your system is out of whack. Be careful, b/c you can become unstable that way. Let your gut calm down significantly by being diligent for at least a full week and then if let's say you make steak for your husband, make chicken for yourself or just eat the veggies/side dish and have a sliver of the meat. My husband is a meat lover but he's not home often for dinner so I rarely make it for my children and me, but when I do, I just eat lots of everything else and then a couple of pieces of meat and I'm okay. (*However, I have not been feeling that stable this month so I have not done this at all. My stomach has been rocky so I can't even take a chance. ONLY do it if you are in a very stable period.) With that said, I repeat...don't be so hard on yourself. Just try to keep that image of how miserable you feel this week in your mind and then you won't cheat at all. Feel better.
