Ive just eaten a whole dominos pizza to myself... feel disgusting!

I didn't intend to, just once I started I couldn't stop! I don't think they are designed for one person are they? You are supposed to share them but I sat there munching away and before I knew the whole lot had gone... in my defence it was a thin base and only a margarita but now I feel guilty as anything and feel like my a right fat pig. I have issues around food and eating and this might be making me feel even worse.

Can anyone else eat one to themselves. Tell me I'm not alone?

Respect op

I usually get a 7" personal pizza and a garlic bread and some cookies so yes, I eat the whole thing myself Halo

YahBasic · 09/02/2019 19:05

I normally get a medium, chicken & wedges box & cookies and that will do me for 2-3 meals.

At an absolute push, I could maybe finish a large. DH will eat 1.5 large on his own, so our normal order is 2x large with sides.

CookPassBabtridge · 09/02/2019 19:07

Gosh I could easily finish a large pizza. Why all the angst!? Grin

ContessaIsOnADietDammit · 09/02/2019 19:07

DH and I can easily polish off half a large pizza each. We're vegan though so it's basically veggies on bread Grin I used to be able to manage the same trick with cheesy ones if that helps!!

BayandBlonde · 09/02/2019 19:18

I just ordered an XXL thin half and half from Papa Johns. Oh and six cheesy pizza sticks

And I intend on stuffing every single slice! Grin

RedForShort · 09/02/2019 19:21

According to Mr Google a large Dominos pizza is 13.5 inches in UK, 14 inches in USA and 12 inches in India. (Fun facts!! Might try discover the world by pizza size now))

I actually don't like Dominic sodon't get them. Which means I can't say how excessive it is. I'd think how long it took to eat it all would play a part too.

frankie001 · 09/02/2019 19:21

I can eat a whole pizza. If you cut it in half it’s only two slices!

Movinghouseatlast · 09/02/2019 19:25

I can certainly eat a whole pizza! I make my own massive ones.

WorraLiberty · 09/02/2019 19:25

OP, if you have issues around food and eating, I'm not sure starting this thread was a good idea.

Mumsnet is a strange place when it comes to food.

As you can see from this thread, binge eating is often normalised and in some cases applauded.

Equally on other threads, you'll find the same with under eating. Not really the place for people with food issues.

You shouldn't feel 'guilty' though, as presumably your over eating hasn't affected anyone else.

EdWinchester · 09/02/2019 19:29

We very occasionally, having forgotten they are pretty rank, get a large dominos between the 2 of us and eat 3/4 of it.

A large one to yourself is pretty impressive!

ketchupormayo · 09/02/2019 19:33

Easily done! Was it lush? I'm awaiting my massive Chinese I'm so excited

It wasn't really a binge, I was sitting watching the rugby and before I knew it the whole lot had gone. I'd say I eat healthily 99% of the time. But I am prone to guilt if I eat something I perceive as unhealthy.

I ate a large one (bar 3 slices that DS ate) plus chicken kickers to myself last week. When it's takeaway night I do it right! Grin

Sadly this is true. It becomes a competitive eating thread where people compete to out eat each other and applaud over eating, the more food and the more unhealthy it is, the better you're doing.

If you have food struggles please have it deleted.

pinkhorse · 09/02/2019 20:21

Wow. I can only manage 2 (maybe 3) slices of pizza. I couldn't eat a 9 inch to myself.

Heismyopendoor · 09/02/2019 20:29

Two pieces of pizza? As a main meal? My kids can eat 4 or 5 pieces each of a large dominoes and they are all fit and slim. They are all under 10.

WorraLiberty · 09/02/2019 20:31

It wasn't really a binge, I was sitting watching the rugby and before I knew it the whole lot had gone.

I would call eating 10 slices of pizza binge eating. Although fair enough, perhaps others wouldn't.

I suppose it's like alcohol threads. Some don't consider drinking a whole bottle of wine, as binge drinking but others do.

Bubba1234 · 09/02/2019 20:33

Enjoy it’s the weekend Wink
I almost got one myself tonight but I have a cold and I can’t taste anything anyway so I settled for last nights chicken tikka

flamingofridays · 09/02/2019 20:36

A lot of the time it actually becomes a competition about who eats the least. "Ooh i can only eat half a slice and im full" which most of the time is bollocks anyway i bet.

WorraLiberty · 09/02/2019 20:41

flamingo, MN tends to go one way or the other.

Either extreme over eaters or extreme under eaters.

I suppose the majority who are neither, tend not to bother posting.

Bluntness100 · 09/02/2019 20:59

Agree, it can go either way.

CallMeSirShotsFired · 09/02/2019 21:04

Good grief, I am just glad a few truthful people got on this thread before the competitive "ooh half a grape and I am absolutely stuffed for a week [and all the associated superior undertones]" crew got here.

You ate a whole pizza, so what? You are a grown woman able to regulate what she wants to eat, when she wants to.

WorraLiberty · 09/02/2019 21:06

It's funny how people like/dislike over eaters and under eaters in pretty equal measures on MN Grin

diymania · 09/02/2019 21:10

I just had a 12-13” pizza to myself from our local pizza place. It was yummy. I eat relatively healthily the rest of the time so it all balances out!
