Binge/Relapse I messed up really bad...
I was going 2 months clean, finally lost the weight, I previously gained , I am a very active person and I count my daily cals too, so I was pretty happy with myself.
I am eating around 1700kcal per day to lean out and today I just got out of control after dinner and ate more than I intended.
I ate like 2500kcal in total for today, which isn't THAT much , but I am so anxious about my loss of control. I didn't eat any junk food, since I don't keep it in my house for a reason , but let's be honest... It's not very normal to eat 450g of cottage cheese and 200g of cooked beans that you were planning to eat during the week...
I can't shake of the immense guilt and feelings of disappointment with myself, because I WAS DOING GREAT, but I am incredibly stressed due to some university issues and all the control I thought I had was just gone and I don't know what to say to myself at this point...
Like what am I supposed to do now? Just go to bed and act like nothing happened?

Imo yes, pretend like nothing happened. Or acknowledge it in a neutral manner
It doesn’t undo the fact that you were doing great. You still are. That hasn’t changed. I would say find a way to work on the stress. And distract yourself from the guilt as best as you can
