AIBU?

Just ate a whole tube of Pringles. Very distressed.

Please make me feel better.

Pringles are bloody half price everywhere and I picked up a tube in the shop just now. Crunched my way through an entire tube of Original flavour, with a pot of houmous alongside for dipping. Kept putting the lid back on, then absent mindedly returning for more. Then the tube was empty, and so was the houmous pot. That’s like 1600 calories in about 30 mins.

I feel so disgusted with myself. Please tell me I’m not the only person to have done this.

Well, the slogan is (or used to be) 'once you pop you can't stop' !

It’s not worth the shame or punishing yourself. You just ate some delicious food, that’s the end of it.

Oh the sour cream pringles. I could eat through the whole thing easy. Oh how I wish I had some.

Ah they’re so more-ish! My friend’s husband opened a tube when she was out, ate most of them then felt he had to finish them to hide the evidence from her Grin

YABU if they had been any other flavour than plain though!

I sometimes eat a whole chocolate orange in one go though Blush

Once your hand gets stuck halfway down is the time to stop. Or tip outing a bowl a d crack on.

You must be thirsty now.

God, I adore Pringles. Can't buy them as I also eat the entire tube. Just. Can't. Stop.

You're being very judgemental about a perfectly valid life choice OP

Humous has got health benefits though OP

I ended up with really sore lips the last time I did that. Put me off pringles for good. Drink loads of water and get some lip balm on!

I ate a family sized bag of Doritos with salsa dip a while back. I felt very guilty and a bit sick. But I'm pretty sure I would do it again!

Try not to feel bad. Lots of us do stuff like that. As long as it isn't every day and, judging by how bad you feel, I'm guessing it isn't.

From experience I highly recommend Morrison's red pepper chilli and garlic dip with a Pringle binge....

Haha @Bluey18 yes, but i’d naively thought I’d make them last all week! My innocence earlier in the day when I bought them...

Oh who cares. Go get another tube and a bottle of wine to wash it down with.

If anyone fancies a Pringles eating competition I reckon I could do 3-4 tubes.

Haven't eaten these since Christmas before my fat fighting journey began.

This is why I never buy them - always eat the whole thing! Ditto big bags of walkers sensations and those M&S crisps that are all different shapes.......

There is no real difference to eating them all in one sitting than spreading it out over the week! It's the same amount of calories! :) Just take it easy on the snacks over the next week and you'll end up finishing your week on exactly the same!
