To think eating a whole tub of ice cream isn’t normal?

I don’t like the word normal but I couldn’t think of anything else.

Now I can have my piggy moments and binge.

We were talking about takeaways and a friend said she could easily and does eat an entire tub of ice cream with her dominos pizza.

Do other people do this?

Level* I could eat a whole leek. Easily. Greedy pig.

Those of us that can eat what we like, don't care if you think it's unhealthy. Unless you're feeding me, financing me and fucking me, i couldn't care less if you think it's unhealthy.

Smash you are spectacularly missing the point. Carry on as you are. Whether you die in a bus crash or of a heart attack I hope your life is filled with ice cream.

Purplerain101 · 03/03/2018 12:21

@smash well you clearly do care since you keep spouting smug nonsense trying to justify yourself and calling us jealous

Chienrouge · 03/03/2018 12:22

I give up. I am eating what I like... I don’t like to eat junk.
If you don’t care that people think it’s unhealthy, why are you getting defensive and calling people jealous? Can you understand that people can think it’s unhealthy and not want to eat like that, without being jealous of you?

smashyourglasses · 03/03/2018 12:23

All i've said is what i do. It's you who has major issue with it🍦🍧🎂

smashyourglasses · 03/03/2018 12:26

Notice i don't feel such need to 'weigh in' on what they do, or in the numerous eating problem threads on here.

Chienrouge · 03/03/2018 12:27

Me either Smile

Why are you getting defensive then? Eat what you like, but what you are doing is unhealthy and dangerous. Why would anybody be jealous that you are unhealthy? For people to be jealous of you, you will need to have some kind of desirable quality.

Oh. So you're able to give a full medical assessment and examine my arteries from behind your screen?

Do go on....

Bluntness100 · 03/03/2018 12:32

Purple rain, as I was reading your posts my thought was "this person isn't mentally well and has significant food related issues to get this angry, upset and offensive about something as silly as occasionally eating a tub of ice cream which amounts to six scoops"

Then you admitted you did suffer from mental illness previously and had had issues with food. It seems to be what's driving your responses.

Take a step back and a deep breath. It's a tub of ice cream. It's a silly thread on a Chat forum. Very very few people are saying they do it regularly and no one is saying it's healthy or should be done, so you need to try to stop yourself reacting like they are.

I don't know if this thread is triggering for you, but your extreme reaction would indicate you need to maybe go read something else for awhile for the sake of your mental health.

Chienrouge · 03/03/2018 12:33

smashyourglasses if you’re so happy and confident in your choices, why are you on here slagging off everyone who chooses to do things differently to you? Accusing them of jealousy? Do you think everyone who makes different life choices to you if jealous? What a weird attitude to have.

EleanorAbernathy · 03/03/2018 12:36

For the people who ARE able to eat a whole tub in one go but are watching the calories, can I point out the wonders that are Halo Top and Oppo? 350 calories per tub and tastes lovely!
I have tonsillitis and am living off these and yoghurt at the moment.

smashyourglasses · 03/03/2018 12:38

Can you show me where I slagged people please? I don't think others who make different life choices to me are jealous - merely the ones who get outraged and angry over mine.

Purplerain101 · 03/03/2018 12:40

@bluntness haha ok then. Thanks for the psychiatric assessment Hmm

GottadoitGottadoit · 03/03/2018 12:45

The only person I know who does this weighs 20 stone.

Day before my period is due yes, no problem, wouldn't touch the sides. Give me two pizzas and the ice-cream...

Any other day? Noooo way. Grin

BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy · 03/03/2018 13:16

I could demolish a tub of B&J in one go. Probably not after a Dominos though unfortunately.

Aeroflotgirl · 03/03/2018 13:20

If it's Haaagan Daz or Ben and Jerry, as the tubs are small, but not a normal 1 litre tub. But each to their own and all that.

DwangelaForever · 03/03/2018 13:21

I could do it on an empty stomach but not after a dominoes.

Did she mean one of the smaller tubs that you can buy in dominoes? If so I could finish one of those after a wee half hour breather 😂

redmarkone · 03/03/2018 13:36

ive been eating 2400 cals per day since my teens, im hitting 40 soon. maybe it will hit me but i'm prepared for that as it is my own doing and will bre all my own fault.

im not smug i was just pointing out that we all metabolise food differently. i hate that i eat so much junk but luckily my teeth arent decaying and i do not have a mouth full of fillings!

Elementtree · 03/03/2018 14:10

Just reading this thread makes me want to reach inside my rib cage are rip my fucking gallbladder out so I can devour a pizza and ice-cream.

Spoog1971xx · 03/03/2018 14:28

I'm sure plenty of you who think eating a tub of icecream is disgusting don't bat an eyelid at sinking a bottle of plonk on a regular basis
