To have eaten 10 creme eggs today?

'if thats what you want in your body'

We all need fats, sugars and calories in our bodies, its sort of how we stay alive.

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 ...

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.....?

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.

You realise of course that its different horses for different courses?

I personally have to eat a lot of protein in comparison to most average diets, and I would mention the benefits of this on a thread where someone is asking for advice but I also am able to engage with a lighthearted thread and call out the moral judgers who seem to think OP is greedy and odd and going to drop dead from one day's over indulgence.

Its not random, its being able to understand that we're all different and different responses are needed for different threads.

And its not a binge.

I have actually gone and got myself some cream eggs from the shop - thanks OP!

Although I’ll limit myself to 1 or 2 because else I’ll be sick and I want to lose a stone by summer! 😁

Yes I know which is why I said you said it in a jokey way.
I should have said sarcastic.

But as you say lots of people believe type 1 is from diet, so I wanted to clear it up as it’s something that I know a lot of people get judged on.

Accident happen. I had one an hour ago, I dipped it in very hot tea to melt the pointy end. Yum. I have more in the cupboard and a sweet tooth but tbh I can only do one a day as they are mega sweet.

I agree with this comment about eating imbalances in either direction. Obviously eating three healthy ( by which I mean complex carbs, protein and plenty of veg and fruit) meals a day as a normal diet is a good way to live, and we do try ( generally but would never make a scene if out or visiting) to avoid too many upfs. But you aren’t going to implode if you occasionally have a bit of joyful indulgence and eat a pudding after Sunday lunch at the pub or a few chocolate eggs over the Easter break. It’s all this “ne’er shall it cross my hallowed lips “ that grates.

I once went on a date with a very body conscious guy. He was clearly delighted with his appearance ( though he was actually a bit too soigné for me. I like a guy to look a bit nonchalant about his appearance.) He was such a bore about what he “could and couldn’t” eat all through the meal and finally I asked so do you never depart from
your regime. He looked all confidential and said with a flourish “ well if I’m feeling VERY wicked I sometimes … have a low fat lemon flavoured yoghurt.” I immediately wanted to go home.

Mini eggs are better and the small easter eggs, I've been having a small easter egg most days

ooh that looks so nice! I really could not eat 10 creme eggs in one day though.

Its not an 'eating habit' though is it?

And greedy is a hugely moral judgement. Food and eating habits should have no morals attached to them.

Yes Im fine with that (apart from the fact that creme eggs are revolting).

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

I couldn't manage 10 @timegoesbysoso (probably 4 in one sitting,) but I do admire your work!

I have been known to eat an entire 180 gm crunchie bar in one sitting however, though I did feel wretched and sick afterwards. I think on reflection, a third of a bar would have been enough! 🍫

You have thrown down the gauntlet. I have eaten one today. Just 10 more to take your crown OP. Better get chomping😆

Probably not much worse sugarwise than troughing a box of Lindt Lindors which I have done on several occasions. Very nice too.

I like my chocolate but even that is too much

To be fair, you sound more whipped up than me

It would be a lot, yes. It wouldn't be addiction though, particularly in a non alcohol drinker.

However if you want to compare then start equally. It's unlikely OP is a 'non sugar eater', she over indulged as to many people who drink alcohol occasionally. None of this makes it an addiction.

If you want to discuss addiction, learn what it is first.

I don't like creme eggs, but won't judge you as I ate 5 caramel Freddos in one sitting last week.....bloody lovely they were too.

Creme eggs are not smaller than in the 70s.
they’re actually very marginally bigger

It never fails to amaze me how miserable some people truly are on here. Get a life! She’s had 10 cream eggs not 10 wraps of heroin.

I hate Crème Eggs but I’ve not been able to eat for days with a diarrhoea bug and I could absolutely eat a vat of chocolate right now if it weren’t for the fear of a rapid exit afterwards.

No judgement here.

That sounds very sickly. I am impressed though. I prefer the caramel eggs instead.

You want to try working in a shop that starts selling them from the week after Xmas.
I've eaten loads and still not sick of the sight of them, luckily l don't put weight on, but obviously they are not healthy eating for sure. Tastes so much nicer than a lettuce or cabbage though.
