My stress eating got out of hand today

I'm gonna try to make this short and sweet because I just need to get it off my chest.

I started my weight lost journey about three years ago, weighing in at my heaviest ever, 327. Mostly through modifying my diet (cutting out fast food and soda and eating foods low in carbs and high in fiber)and trying to be more active, I've been more successful than ever before. I weighed in a few days ago at 265 and for so many reasons it feels amazing.

Today I feel like I went off the deep end. My boyfriend made shepherd's pie and I had two ridiculous helpings and it was frickin delicious but I felt so gross after. He offered to make me a separate one with mashed cauliflower but I declined because I wanted to indulge since I had a really stressful day at work and I wanted some comfort food. After he went to bed, I proceeded to polish off a full pint of fudge brownie Ben and Jerry's. Now I'm sitting here feeling disgusting because I just ate more carbs in 3 hours than I normally would in 3 weeks.

I give myself cheat days about once a week but I went way overboard today. I feel like this is a slippery slope and I worry that I won't be able to control the urge to feed the carb/sugar addiction I've worked so hard to overcome. Or maybe I'm overthinking it and I won't give it a second thought tomorrow. Idk 🤷‍♀️
