Being unreasonable only to her own innards though which is why the level of outrage is a bit weird.

kickassmomma · 10/02/2013 22:12

Pickled what kebab shops do you know??? I've heard about horse burgers but not elephant legs in take-aways Grin

It's not normal is it? A pig out now and again is pretty normal, but 48 creme eggs in the space of 2 days is bloody disgusting by all accounts. And anybody laughing at that or encouraging you should feel ashamed that they could potentially be encouraging somebody with an actual binge purge eating disorder to go ahead and do it again.

benbobaggins · 10/02/2013 22:13

I didn't eat them all in one go, ive not been sat at the fridge for the last 48 hours!

People like a bit of outrage on a Sunday night in AIBU.This thread is making me laugh

WorraLiberty · 10/02/2013 22:14

I'm having a weird moment here Grin

I have a pack of cards in front of me and I just imagined lining them up on the floor, taking 4 away and then looking at the rest and imagining them as creme eggs Blush

It kind of brought home exactly how many we're talking about here.

SilverBaubles33 · 10/02/2013 22:14

I don't think I'm on a high horse by finding the claim truly repulsive.

It's not an amusing indulgence, it's extreme gluttony.

Unhealthy example for any children too. Why not model self-discipline and choose to eat real food instead.

No wonder this country has weight problems. So sad.

Oh for god sake leave the children out of it!

Unless she was writhing around in them in Charlie chalks fun factory?

MissYamabuki · 10/02/2013 22:16

i find it fascinating that people are angered by somebody else's chocolate feast! repulsive, disgusting, should be ashamed Shock

I feel like that about people who drive drunk, smuggle drugs into prisons, shoot up in front of their kids

and do think this thread highlights a shift in thinking - other people's eating never used to be such a big social issue. especially as op isn't even obese.

The level of outrage is getting a bit silly - 'truly repulsive' - really?!

Doesn't take away from the fact that eating that many is weird and not funny.

HollyBerryBush · 10/02/2013 22:22

I hate to break up the party, but in excess, chocolate is poisonous, the body cannot break down large amounts of theobromine .....that's why you have guts ache.

Round about 2lb of refined cocoa should start to make you seriously ill.

bows out now I've spread my doom

SilverBaubles33 · 10/02/2013 22:23

Beer tricks, she didn't say she didn't.

I was referring to the exchange earlier when she claimed she would allow her child to eat 48 eggs to if he/she wanted too.

If that's true, it is, in my opinion, rather regrettable.

And children do copy adults' eating habits. Occasional indulgence is, I think, totally different to this.

Not projecting, but thanks for the concern.

benbobaggins · 10/02/2013 22:23

There are worse things I could have done, I haven't eaten them in front of my son, I think I should lock myself away for being such a piggy and I won't show my glutinous face tomorrow at all
