timegoesbysoso · 2024-03-23T23:59:03+00:00

I don't know how it happened Had one at 11am and liked it so much I had another. One when walking the dog then another when I came back to warm me up with tea. Two when watching a crap film, the repeat for Netflix Then two must've jumped into my mouth [blush]

Hey your choice. But I just couln't even eat one - so not sure how - wow !

soupfiend · 24/03/2024 16:13

What a shame OP had to get all serious on her jokey thread to set out her dress size and gym habits because of stupid people.

Jesus.

Fortheloveofcheeseandpickle · 24/03/2024 16:11

So only 8 then... get the other two eaten! xx

There is more than one type of diabetes.

Type 2 is caused by a build up of fat around your pancreas.

Eating like the op does raises your risk of type 2 diabetes.

Show quote history

Read my follow-up posts. Your comment basically echoes what I said - that saying “diabetes” is meaningless without mentioning the type. “Diabetes” is far too broad an umbrella term as Type 1 is auto-immune and Type 3c, for example, is related to pancreatic damage or surgery.

Do you know what, initially I was horrified but now I’m bloody impressed, and somewhat jealous. My acid reflux would give me hell for the next week and a half if I ate that many cream eggs, I think that’s where the horror comes from more than anything. Enjoy it while you can cause one day you’ll develop heart burn and it will destroy your ability to do these things

Vitriolinsanity · 24/03/2024 16:00

I don't like them, but DM is like a magpie in a 🪺 and would happily Hoover 10.

soupfiend · 24/03/2024 15:59

Well Im eating this now, I was tempted as I threatened earlier in the thread to open my big gift box of Lindt but I will save that for easter

@timegoesbysoso I have been influenced : just been out for a quick run and bought a bag of mini crème eggs which I am going to eat in your honour. 🐣🥚

*pearl clutchers. I can't type for shit today.

lol eating too much chocolate in one day isn’t binge eating disorder

That's right, otherwise a lot of people next Sunday and every Christmas are going to be diagnosed with it. The crap on here is astounding.

soupfiend · 24/03/2024 15:52

Oh god yes, OP DONT TAKE YOUR ORLISTAT TODAY!!!

LegoTherapy · 24/03/2024 15:51

Maybe they assume OP will have the shits tomorrow because she's on that fat loss drug like they are🤷🏼‍♀️ Some of us can eat 10 creme eggs and have no ill effects. Maybe they are jealous? I love petal clutchers on threads like these. Lots of projection going on. Always good for a laugh.

Northernsouloldies · 24/03/2024 15:40

Away from the munching aspect,what if anything did the symbol means on an UK 70s creme egg,I tried googling,if memory serves me right it was a symbol made up of straight lines?.

InTheStars · 24/03/2024 15:39

I don't like them. They're sickly sweet. I'm not British and have only had one in decades here. So let's just say you had my share and you're most welcome to it 😊

I overindulged in something else yesterday. Chocolate trifle...

Hi all

Wow, some range of responses. Good and not so good

It was definitely a one off. I don't eat chocolate that much but had been given a box of 10 and just ate them instead of cooking.

Already been to the gym today and did some yoga too. Fit and healthy overall and no food issues etc.

It's ok to have a splurge or eat what you crave every now and then.

Have a lovely Sunday all

Having googled it, I'm kinda right.
Creme eggs have shrunk since the 70's in the US and have grown in the UK. However, they still taste greasy and have no flavour.

LuckySantangelo35 · 24/03/2024 14:19

Yep it is a binge

and I don’t know why op is being lauded by some as “amazing”

usually people on here are obsessed with protein. You have to have protein at every single meal. Cereal or toast for breakfast is seen as terrible. You need eggs or meat!!

mumsnet is so random

10 over the day is not a binge.

“Binge eating is a serious mental illness where people eat very large quantities of food in a short space of time without feeling like they’re in control of what they’re doing.”

My post didn't say they were.
I simply said if that's what you want in your body then drive on.
So maybe we're in agreement with each other.
Or maybe it's actually you projecting some sort of moralising around food.....?

Show quote history

If you want all of those calories, fats and sugars in you, knock yourself out.

I don’t think there’s any other way to read this other than negatively?

This is the side of Mumsnet I really despise

A light hearted thread of a confession of a one off pig out has brought out the addiction/ diabetes / eating disorder / greed / alcohol / calorie counters / sniping that just spoils the overall joy of someone who will know doubt feel sick , have the shits , regret eating them all when none left for tomorrow and will need an extra floss before bed that the majority of us recognise as unhealthy and not something we'd do every day

Absolutely no one is advocating doing this regularly
Why not just scroll on by if you can't read the room , give a little tut and enjoy your carrot sticks that some of us might enjoy tomorrow ? Or not ...

Yeah it’s really awful tbh

(I do have eating disorder but other people are not me. I guess the most vocal about others eating habits are the less aware of own problems.)

Cream Eggs are gift from Satan. You are unreasonable, for future accidents have Carmel eggs in handy.

effoffwind · 24/03/2024 15:17

@soupfiend I'd have the shits if I overate shite .. mind you , not so much chocolate but ice cream ...

Totally agree with you, except I dont know why people keep insinuating that she'll have the shits tomorrow, why?

@Calliopespa that guy would have gotten on well with some of the posters on here!

Honestly, if I ever get to the point of a low fat lemon yoghurt being a wicked indulgence, I sincerely hope someone will suffocate me with a chocolate cake.
