Please someone make me feel better about what I’ve eaten 😆
this morning I had 2 slices of toast with biscoff spread , then “lunch” I had a small chocolate Cadbury buttons Easter egg , the whole thing in one go😆 I’m very slim and trying to gain weight but have suffered from eating disorders (orthorexia) which means I’m obsessive about eating healthy foods.
ive been avoiding foods with E numbers and additives etc and watching sugar intake , but today I gave in due to hunger and realised that egg had over 50g of sugars and now I’m panicking and feel like I can’t eat anything rest of day cause let’s face it near enough everything has sugar in it 😆 help me feel better please !!

Well I had an entire thorntons dinosaur Easter egg for breakfast. I felt great about it too.

Tlolljs · 25/03/2024 15:38

I haven’t had any yet. Chocolate cake yesterday though.

Droolylabradors · 25/03/2024 15:38

Two squares 90% chocolate, one bar of Moser Roth 85%

A lot less than I've normally had by 4pm.

Fwiw, the 90% has 1.2g sugar per square and three ingredients so not terrible.

Interested in this thread?

I've had a mini dairy milk...and one of those mini kinder bars.

The word mini makes me feel quite virtuous 😂

I think given your eating disorder you really need to say to yourself that it’s fine to enjoy some sweet things now and then.
I had muesli for breakfast, homemade soup for lunch and will have egg and baked beans on toast later but right now I’m enjoying this.. (that’s a mocha by the way).

None (low carbing) but a few weeks ago I ate chocolate of some kind every day! And not small amounts either 😂

Comedycook · 25/03/2024 15:47

Fwiw I eat chocolate every day. Last year I lost two stone and I was still eating chocolate every day...just small amounts.

What is low carbing ? What are the benefits ?

If you need to gain weight, you need to stick to a weight gain diet.

Eating chocolate instead of meals won't help I'm afraid.

Not sure you should be delving into that world given your previous posts. Stick to looking put for yourself rather than fad diets.

Pickles2023 · 25/03/2024 15:52

Well...i am currently pregnant and its all i want. Haha

It started with midnight munchies at 2am this morning. I had a chocolate buttons cadbury yoghurt.

Then today i have had a large big sainsburys bar if chocolate (having to buy cheap as i am getting through so much)
A bag of Easter malteser bunnies, finished an easter egg. Then chocolate topped rice cakes 😂😂

I will then crack open ice cream tonight.

Its so bad, i usually eat so healthy, snacking on fresh fruit and veg...but oh my, i am even dreaming about it. Think this baby is going to be a chunk

@Ellarose23

none as I too am low carbing. It's a very healthy way to eat, but given your situation I think you need to just eat food & not find an obsessive way of doing it 🌷

you should enjoy the things you've eaten today, but see them as 'extras' and eat some REAL food.

plan a proper dinner with protein & vegetables. What do you like? What do you have in? What could you buy?

NeedthatFridayfeeling · 25/03/2024 15:54

Small bag of smarties mini eggs and I shouldn't have as i need to lose weight Sad

TiredAllTheTimeMum · 25/03/2024 15:54

2 bags of mini chocolate fingers.. I'm supposed to be on slimming world but took a week off last week due to being on holiday, gained ,4lbs and now I can't stop eating. I've done so well to lose 18lb in seven weeks and then it's just up in smoke 🤣 just eat what you want within reason and enjoy it.

Minikievs · 25/03/2024 15:55

None yet today, but yesterday I also ate an entire buttons easter egg.
All in one go. Whilst waiting for the kettle to boil. You're not alone.

PutASpellOnYou · 25/03/2024 15:58

Those buttons eggs are addictive, I've lost count of how many I've eaten over last several weeks, roll on next week, hopefully none left on shelves.
