To eat 1240 cals of crisps in one sitting while preg?

[PhelanGood]

6 bags spicy McCoy's and an entire bag of heat burst Dortitos. Bought at 330, just finished the last one :-/ literally all to myself.

If it makes a difference either way, I had intended the McCoy's for DH's lunch tomorrow, he can take an apple instead ee have plenty of those sitting uneaten in the fruit bowl! Bloody pregnancy spice cravings. I'm meant to be watching my weight too...

Nah UANBU! It's just one of the very few perks of being pregnant.... let's face it just about everything else remotely fun is frowned on!

Wolves why should she limit herself to a small mug? :o

Impressive as a one off but the fact your eating 2 or 3 packets a day and stuffing your face with pizza is pretty disgusting. I have just eaten a slice of chocolate cake and I feel disgusted with myself as it's not even the weekend grin. I'm pleased that my eating habits are tame compared to some.

There are some real cat bum types here tonight! 😂

I think that someone who is disgusted with themselves for eating a piece on cake not on a particular day can't really be said to have tame eating habits.

How is binge eating a perk of being pregnant?

Anyone - man, woman or child can binge eat any time they want to.

Yup, also in my experience, it's not that much fun and I wish I could control my cravings and not do it. I'm not even pregnant! It's not healthy but I can't work out whether the OP is genuinely worried or just thinks it's funny to eat 7 bags of crisps in a sitting. It's up to her what she eats when pregnant anyway.

Why is it a perk of being pregnant? Anyone can stuff their face with crisps anytime. Same calories.

Crack on dude. You're growing a human.

honestly really really unhealthy to eat 3 packets of crisps at once! it's not disgusting - that is a very rude thing to say. It's just really bad for you OP! So much salt and chemicals - and calories. You will run the risk of gestational diabetes...

I think a mad eating of lots of crisps as a one off is fine (everyone does it!) but - do you genuinely eat 3 packets of crisps every day as a reward for doing the school run?

you will make yourself ill!

er...you don't grow a human out of crisps. Excessive salt intake will just put pressure on your heart which is already under pressure.

So what food do you grow a human out of waterrat?

@waterrat I'm fucked then.

I don't believe in cravings, tbh, not now that we're all well-nourished.

You're eating a really high level of salt there, OP. Does that not worry you?

This is such a sad thing to read. Please don't feel disgusted with yourself for having something nice to eat.

Thank you all so much for support and laughs. It has been fun bingeing for months but I never thought of the risk of diabetes, it has scared me into changing my diet to exclude all crisps and sugar! And I love all the suggestions on how else I can get my salt and chilli fix. Got an appointment now but will be back later to reply properly!
