He says it is common, and lots of people eat a full packet at once.

Do you, or could you, or would you like to?

I have done with Jammie Dodgers and Jaffa cakes. It's usually if I'm on my own watching TV and on my period. I get carried away and can't stop. I'd usually have at least 3.

I'm not fat either at all but I know it's not very good for you.

Only jaffa cakes. But everyone knows that they evaporate once they've been opened if you don't eat them quickly enough.

gleam · 13/05/2016 19:58

No to all 3.
Think I'd be too full to move after a whole pack of biscuits! I have 1 or 2 every now and then.

HelenaJustina · 13/05/2016 19:58

No, no and no

jerrysbellyhangslikejelly · 13/05/2016 19:59

yes, yes and yes Blush

Firstmum24 · 13/05/2016 19:59

Often - no will power!

EponasWildDaughter · 13/05/2016 20:00

Do i? No.

Could i? Depends - if i'd eaten nothing else all day by about 3pm then yes.

Would i? No. Unless in some hyperthetical situation it was the only thing available all day.

Hurryhurryhurry · 13/05/2016 20:00

Yes yes to only being able to do it with a cup of tea (or 2)

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 13/05/2016 20:01

No, never. I think I'd feel sick.

Musicaltheatremum · 13/05/2016 20:01

I could, but I wouldn't and the sugar rush would make me feel really unwell.

Ivegotyourgoat · 13/05/2016 20:01

I know my mum also eats a whole packet of Jammie dodgers too and she's not fat either.

It's not a regular thing though.

megletthesecond · 13/05/2016 20:05

Never.

My blood sugar would go nuts and I'd feel sick.

froubylou · 13/05/2016 20:06

No. Not even really nice ones.

And I only ever have a few chocolates too. Maybe 3/4? And I can't remember the last time I had a standard bar of chocolate. I don't have a sweet tooth at all. But I am fat which I think is unfair considering it took me 3 weeks to eat my mother's day box of chocolates this year. Dp and the dcs finished them off in the end.

Cloudybutwarm · 13/05/2016 20:06

Ummm yes! Chocolate digestives, Oreos, fig rolls, party rings.... I will sit there and eat the whole packet and have done on many occasions. Or if not quite in one sitting then certainly over the course of an hour or two.

Funnily enough I very rarely buy biscuits.....

nobilityobliges · 13/05/2016 20:08

I did when I was bulimic (then sick it up after obvs). I wouldn't now, unless in dire stress (and would throw it up).

Unicow · 13/05/2016 20:08

Jaffa cakes yes but most others no. I try not to. The crash is awful.

BevyofQuails · 13/05/2016 20:09

I did regularly when pinned to a sofa breastfeeding. Don't think I've done it since, though can make a pretty big dent in a packet in a single day. Going cold turkey at the moment because I know I feel really awful if I eat that much sugar, but I'm not very good a limiting myself to just one or two.

UmbongoUnchained · 13/05/2016 20:09

I used to be able to...
I'm about to have a go at a 14 inch pizza though I'll let you know how I get on 😬

hollieberrie · 13/05/2016 20:09

I'd be very tempted if they were Party rings or Jaffas. Or Jammy Dodgers.
I basically cant have biscuits in the house otherwise yes it might definitely would happen. Grin

YellowShockedFace · 13/05/2016 20:10

Yes. All the time.

Ihatechoosingnames · 13/05/2016 20:11

Yes. It is greedy isn't it? I have food issues.

decisionsdecisions123 · 13/05/2016 20:11

No. I could probably get through a decent amount of shortbread if I wanted to but a packet of biscuits would last me months.

Mama1980 · 13/05/2016 20:12

No, not sure I ever have. Even with nice ones one or two is enough.

BevyofQuails · 13/05/2016 20:13

God, I ate way too much pizza the other day and had all the same sugar rush symptoms. I'm actually quite scared my pancreas is about to pack up after all the abuse I've given it over the years. I'm going to try to go low carb for a bit to give it a break!
