To order a Chinese when I've eaten dinner

So - I was really fancying a Chinese tonight. I'm home on my own, watching a movie and really fancied it. I'm also visiting my parents from tomorrow which means home cooked food only for a while as they're not takeaway people!

However - I decided to be good and save money and I ended up eating a rather disappointing ready meal that I already had in the fridge (I promise I do usually cook proper stuff for myself!)

But I'm still really fancying the Chinese!! WIBU to still order one? I ate my dinner about 2 hours ago so I'm not particularly hungry - but the crispy beef keeps calling me.

Do it!

skippy67 · 17/07/2017 21:01

Yeah, go on

OnionKnight · 17/07/2017 21:02

I just had a curry, do it Grin

Hiphopopotamus · 17/07/2017 21:14

Haha you guys are doing a good job of telling me what I want to hear (waiting for someone to ask me if I'm overweight and filling an emotional hole by eating two dinners, then say that much food would feed their family of four for a week!)

I wanted KFC, DH wouldn't go for one as I've had a drink so settled with bacon on toast now he wants KFC so I think I will manage one too 😂

Only on the condition you get salt and pepper chips too... this diet has lasted a very long fourteen hours.

Do it otherwise you'll be regretting it at 11pm when the Chinese is shut 😂

Disappointing Dinners suck - had one on Saturday and still not over it Grin.

Though would you be able to eat it after already eating? Being full would take away the enjoyment for me (which is why Disappointing Dinners suck - they are disappointing and prevent me eating somthing not disappointing)

Dp is away, I just had a massive Chinese Blush

Winterc00kie · 17/07/2017 21:24

Bambamrubblesmum · 17/07/2017 21:33

What are you going to order Envy

Lweji · 17/07/2017 21:37

Two hours is a perfectly reasonable interval between main meals.

AdoraBell · 17/07/2017 21:38

Do it. Enjoy. Envy

Hiphopopotamus · 17/07/2017 21:39

Oh where are the pious eaters when I need them? Haha. I'd almost convinced myself I didn't need it when you guys started posting your menus. So the order has gone in - crispy shredded chilli beef, egg fried rice and chicken wings (they come in this amazing caramelised chilli sauce)

No, but you are being unreasonable to make me think about (and consequently crave) Chinese food when I've already eaten dinner.

CRISPY SHREDDED BEEF ❤

Supersoaryflappypigeon · 17/07/2017 21:52

I'm. So. Jealous. Envy

PetyrBaelish · 17/07/2017 21:53

Do it!

My DP gets very sanctimonious about ordering takeaways, which makes me Hmm considering how much lager and Doritos (classy) he gets through. I always order one, or something from the local generic junk food takeaway, when he is out.

Mmmm. I can almost taste crispy beef now. Angry
Might have to send dp down the Chinese I baby needs it!

PetyrBaelish · 17/07/2017 21:58

Oh I want to post my regular order now:

Crispy chilli beef (obvs)
Egg fried rice
Sweet and sour chicken balls

If I am ordering for more than myself I would add duck in plum sauce, and maybe pad Thai from the Thai options. If I am feeling really fancy then duck pancakes.

ItsNachoCheese · 17/07/2017 21:59
