WIBU to eat a whole baked Camembert to myself?

[PlasticRoses]

Been dieting for two weeks and lost 7lb, been very well behaved excluding the wine

I've got a Camembert in the fridge which my mum gave me last week, brown rolls in the freezer and chilli jam in the cupboard...

WIBU to shove the Camembert and bread into the oven and eat myself into a cheese coma?

Please say no

Two of us would definitely struggle to finish that! Reckon they'd be a third left.

*there'd

Just looked at that photo again (am slightly overawed!). That amount of bread alone !

I had to have that much bread in order to eat the whole camembert! Otherwise I'd have had to eat it with a spoon and that would have been excessive

This was the day of cheese, everything recorded. Well above my daily goal but nothing horrific

All I could think from the photo is your legs even in a onesie look slim !

I'm normally Vegan, but have been seriously ill, relying on home delivery and hospital food, so I've dropped to Vegeterian.

Cheese is the food of the Gods and the only thing I miss (when Vegan).

I'm getting better and practically Vegan, again, except for rare cheese. I was asked out for tea and my heart sung when they picked French.

Starter: asparagus. Main: Camembert, I had two very small mini French sliced toasts, so at least half the bread in the OP, it was enough, with some side salad.

OP, I lost five stone last year. I did MFP and sometimes spread my calories over four days, to count in food/drinks that I really wanted, I also did a bit of extra exercise.

I accepted that I'd only lose 1lb that week, instead of 2/3. I'm not going to comment on the bread amount, that's your descion to make.

At least your thinking about what your eating.

Birds it's actually a pair of PJ bottoms because I detest onesies but the slim comment overrides that so I forgive you

Lilac thanks! I've recently gone pescatarian again for animal welfare reasons and I'm sure that cheese (and prawns to a lesser degree) is the main thing keeping me from going full whack vegan**

A pound of fat is approximately 3,500 calories. That meal did not contain 24,500 calories, so OP's 7lbs are safe.

I wonder if the posters who are pearl-clutching over the amount of bread are the same ones who can get fourteen meals out of a magical Mumnset chicken.

Becky I am unbelievably jealous of your username

YABU, because I don't have any camembert and now i"m craving it!

The competitive undereating on Mumsnet always makes me laugh. There was that thread a couple of months back where 90% of people claimed they could never eat a whole magnum.

Slightly obsessive MFP-er here...either I'm doing it wrong, or you didn't eat that whole plate of food, OP.
Because there's no way the cheese-fest on the pic you posted would come out as only 1,080 calories!
If it did and I've got it wrong, you must tell me what sort of Camembert it was, because I need it in my life

Beck, nope. A chicken does 4 portions here. But it's lean, low fat protein.

Lost 5 stones 6 years ago. Kept it off. Used to eat a whole Camembert...

What sort of person alleges they can't eat a whole magnum?

My favourite was a poster years ago who claimed they couldn't eat five fruit and veg a day because it was 'too much to eat'z

Thanks to this thread I bought a camembert on the way home and baked it for dinner. Lovely!

It's not necessarily competitive undereating, just because some people are saying they would feed that to a family of four.

Everyone has different appetites/tolerance levels.

We're a family of four - 2 adults and 2 teenagers and that would be just right for us. For others it wouldn't be right. It's just different strokes.

How can you eat something that smells so awful?
