Yes, it’s common to regret eating sometimes—especially if you feel overly full or didn’t enjoy the food. If guilt about eating is frequent or makes you skip meals or try to compensate, it’s worth getting support.
Lots of people occasionally wish they’d eaten less, chosen something different, or skipped that last bite. That can just be a reaction to feeling too full or not enjoying what you ate; it doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you.
If regret turns into frequent guilt, anxiety about food, skipping meals, or trying to “make up for” eating, that’s a harder pattern to live with. You deserve to eat without having to punish yourself for it, and talking with someone you trust or a qualified professional may help.
