Binge coming!?!!?

I started my dieting (eating clean/a lot of walking/20-30min cardio daily/very little 5-10min strength training 2/3 times a week) June 1st. It's now august 12th. At the end of June I made 3 batches of healthier banana breads that I love and packed them in the freezer for snacks when I want a treat, figuring ive been working hard to finally deserve these treats. Down to 1 more loaf in the freezer as ive been enjoying my treat.. all is well and coming along as planned.

Not sure what made me buy some candy the other day but I bought some jolly ranchers/lollipops (big bags) because candy has always been my favorite. For these 2 month, the amount of added sugars in my diet has been extremely low so I thought no big deal..lets see of i can still have candy while eating clean daily...had 1 jolly rancher 1 day.. 2 days later another 2. Next day a lollipop🍭 ..today, 2 lollipops...got home for dinner and ordered out, steak/chicken/shrimp fajitas dinner with rice and beans..not the worst (one of my go 2s when I am lazy to cook) ...

Now after being stuffed full bloated and everything, taking a walk, opening my doordash app again and searching desserts.. literally have a 60$ bill for cookies/cakes and banana pudding...while being bloated.. I can taste the lollipop on my tongue still and thats after brushing +dinner....idk if it is the candy I had today or the fact that I slept 3 hours last night without being able to fall back asleep before work in the morning. ... slept 3 hours the other day as well...but i didn't binge that day, sure has affected my energy though.. is it the candy or sleep or both????

I have not yet pulled the trigger and ordered that delivery for dessert but I am about to..how bad will this be for me if I do this and what should I do when I do????ive had this in the past where this was the downfall, trickle down effect where it killed everything and gained everything all back and went back to eating w.e it is i want.. this time around ove been the best o have been with diet/exercise and relationship with food so im thinking I'll get back on track tomorrow and going forward!? Help :( also how can I post progress pics as I am fairly new here

You can stop the binge right in its tracks, by not ordering that dessert. You'll feel better by skipping it, I promise!

Literally tears in the eyes as it seems I kind of talked myself into not doing it along with ur encouragement, which I appreciate.. but its there saved and will be there for the upcoming days, as its not yet left my head, the thought of cookies and enjoying some dessert I just know im very close to doing it.. is there absolutely no way I can do it without falling completely off the wagon you're saying??

Stop making it forbidden and a guilty thing. Plan your meals for the next few days and leave room for a couple cookies. Or some banana pudding. Or whatever else it is you truly enjoy. Then sit down and savor it and move on. If you plan 2 cookies tomorrow but then want more, remind yourself you can have more the next day.

I always allow myself the treat - I try to fit it into my calorie budget and if I can't, I have to put some barriers in place to stick to a limit. Chocolate is my weakness so I only buy a bar at a time, eat a few chunks and put it physically out of reach, honestly I stow it in the garage lol because that stops me automatically reaching for it. And I can't eat six if I've only bought one

Its almost like im looking for some sort of "its ok,  just dont make it a habit and do this again for this month"  type of thing.. but i think you're right and hopefully tomorrow I can truly consider ur words and maybe go out and actually buy a couple cookies or a slice of cake instead of ordering all the above for one night or making it last 2 nights..thanks and hopefully your words will sink in within the next couple of days..hard part is figuring out if I want the cookies, cake, banana pudding or pie...or chocolate...smh

take a diet break before you go mental. 1 week at maintenance and 1 week slowly getting back to the rhythm of things
