Ate two whopper burgers, hid the bag in the bin

I am planning on going to our local industrial estate tomorrow and it’s fair to say that a sneaky double cheeseburger in the drive through might just happen 😂I went to a lot of effort over Christmas and worked New Year’s Day from 7 until 730 ..bed time was early NYE …i bloody deserve a double burger. The dog will get a decent walk to mitigate the burger 😂

My dad’s business partner used to give us a 10lb box of fancy chocolates every Christmas.
It was enormous.

Mum would let us each have one piece and then hide the entire box and eat the rest herself.

I think that’s a bit much, looking back.

No, I didn't think you would since I pointed out you were wrong, and the OP does have to hide food.

Hahah I get it op. There’s nothing g like a few hours to yourself to eat what you want and watch what you want when ordinarily you’re taking everyone else’s needs into account.

Such a dumb post. OP says that she could buy these things for her husband/daughter but she wants the treat feeling sometimes. Most of us got it.

Are you going to call her daughter a name now? Pathetic. I'm not replying to you again, you've had enough undeserved attention.

most snacks I have to hide, I have zero to myself.

And

I have to hide or Dd asks me for it or Dh eats it

Definitely an entitled prick.

This is no different to me hiding a box of maltesers behind the tea bags so the DC don't find them and DH and I can scoff them in peace!

Why would you say that about somebody else's husband? You don't know him. You're slapping down the OP though, judging her actions (which were self-care and fantastic for her), self-aggrandising that you would never stoop so low as to hide food (which OP didn't do) and finishing off with a twat-fling of judging her relationship as lesser somehow?

Team OP. I don't like Whoppers myself but I totally get the sentiment.

Ditto here... One of the reasons I really love being single again 😀

@suki1964 ah...my user name is a bit ironic there isn't it? 😂

@eyestosee , did you actually read the thread ???

Cos Im pretty sure you have got the wrong end of the stick completely

Well, you can't change the past but you can change what you do in the future.

One thing that stops me overeating is thinking how long the stuff would take to eat (probably not very long) then do something else and after that amount of time has elapsed pretend you have eaten it.

Another thing you can do is have a list of treats to yourself that doesn't involve overeating. Books, TV, manicure, pedicure, bath, putting on favourite clothes, music etc

It's not much to ask for - having something purely for yourself without somebody whining 'That's not fair, I want it too' - is it?

It doesn't have to be burgers, it could be snacks, could be your favourite bubble bath that's been discontinued bloody ex used it all specifically because it was mine, could be your special, medically required gluten free food at a buffet arsehole colleagues, your favourite mug, a jumper or a pair of cashmere socks somebody bought you for Christmas, it's that entitlement to something that isn't theirs that jars.

That’s so funny.. bullshit bingo indeed..

I always thought people who get McDonald's delivered were mental but i totally get this

I did this ALL the time when my DC was small. As did all the other toddler Mums I knew. I don't think the husbands ever figured it out.

I'd recognise the smell a mile away...

They will smell that burgers have recently been in the house. Next time eat them outside.

Also to the people who ask about why secret eating.... if my situation is anything to go by I had an upbringing where my weight was monitored and there was alot of fat shaming. Food was 'good' or 'bad' or 'disgusting' and you were given the attributes of what you were eating. 'You are being good; You are being bad, 'You are disgusting'. Even now i don't like eating in front of other people- not even my own family. I am in a workplace now where the office culture is you work through lunch and eat at your desk and I can't manage it. I go and hide myself in another room.

That is a me problem. But when i buy a wonderfully glorious whopper or Big Mac i find i feel better about it if no-one knows.

That's a great idea. (It's also quite sad that women - and lets be honest usually women and mothers- feel they need to do this in order to get some peace. )

@Sadcrimboisover . I get a big mac meal with extra sauce, gherkins and onions. When they have the cheese melt dippers I get them too, if not its a mcchicken sandwich with extra cheese and mayo from the eurosaver menu and a coke.

I usually have it delivered by 12pm.

Love a whopper, less so if I have to put effort into hiding the fact I've had one, or two, whatever. As long as you scratched your itch though, who gives a fuck.

I sort of agree and disagree.
I'm up for whatever you want, for lunch especially. Breakfast is whatever is in the house, dinner is whatever is cooked and lunch is a free for all. But the buzz from secret eating evades me.

I think it’s obvious from this thread that some people (like me) get a little buzz from having a takeaway which no one knows about. And some people like you @AdventFridgeOfShame dont feel any desire for secret takeaways. And that’s ok, I don’t think there’s any deep meaning behind it.
