Tried to binge and physically couldn’t today

I’ve been counting calories reliably for just over a month now and I’m down between 8-10 lbs since Christmas, YAY! So today is my birthday and I decided that I’d let myself loose but still track everything today and eat whatever today.

So I tried to eat meals I would eat through last semester on a “fuck it” day: 2 donuts and coffee from Dunkin’ for breakfast, a PHAT Philly Cheesesteak and fries with Pepsi for lunch (since I’m traveling for work and happen to be in Philly), a Starbucks Frappuccino for a snack. I got through the breakfast and at lunch I literally couldn’t stomach more than a couple fries, and only at half the steak. I got the frap a while later, and even that was hard to eat as good as it was.

Do I feel amazing though, yes, because I know even on a “special day” I can exercise restraint and not eat until I’m sick like I used to. Hoping that this carries on and I remember this birthday for a while!

Edit: For reference, I’m a 245 lb, 6’3” man, so my TDEE is just over 3,000. I’m still 900 under after that excursion if we include the step adjustment, which I hit 10k steps today walking all over downtown Philly
