To start my diet AFTER I eat the French bread?

[FlamedToACrisp]

Went to the shops, bought some delicious-looking baguettes for lunch... on the way back, noticed my vast rolls of flab in the shop window and decided I need to diet NOW (I already knew I was overweight but ewwww).

AIBU to eat the yummy French bread first?

Eat it

You bought it and it'll make little difference if it's a one off. Eat it.

It won’t get any fresher.

I got confused and voted the wrong way. You should eat the bread because wasting food is wrong. The diet can wait for a day.

I can put salad in so it counts as diet food?

From one fattie to another, fill your boots!

No time like the present, see it as the first hurdle.
Losing weight is bloody hard, and as a poster on one of the weight loss threads said, much more of a mental battle than a physical one.

Start as you mean to go on, and get used to saying no. Give the bread to someone else. I'll get my coat shall I?

You'll be bloated, gassy and full of regret if you eat it. And it's not low gi, so you'll still be hungry in a couple of hours. Bin the baguette and save your calories for something worthwhile (like ice cream)

How would you feel if you eat it vs if you dont?

I voted Yabu, because if you really feel you need to start a diet right now then you'll feel better if you skip the bread.

I don't know if this is good but I'm currently dieting and always feel disgusted with myself if I break my diet and good about myself if i stick to it. Weirdly i don't feel this way if I'm not dieting!

A diet doesn't need to have zero bread/carbs in it. Can you eat a little of the French bread?

awww sod it eat the yummy bread tomorrow is another day you can start tomorrow feeling virtuous

It's just flour and water and fungus.

Eat some of the bread with salad. There are approximately 300 calories in 100g of french bread, if you work out your calories for the day you can still have bread, just don’t eat the whole lot. Put the rest in the freezer and use it later for something then it won’t have gone to waste.

The only way to start a diet is to eat all the food first.
I thought that was the law!!

I'd only think you were BU if you didn't have it with baked camembert :)

Eat it since you bought it, diet starts afterwards

If this is lighthearted - then eat the bread, food waste is terrible, bread is good. Add plenty of butter. Yum.

Is serious. Do not eat the bread - there will ALWAYS be a reason to delay starting a better way of eating. Find a river or pond with swans and feed it to them.

I'd eat it then start the diet. There's no point it going to waste and you'll only keep thinking of it.

If you do slimming world you'll still be able to eat it on the diet 😁

Works perfect for me!!

That delicious bread isn't going to eat itself.

Definitely don’t do this. Bread is bad for water birds.

Put half of it in the freezer to reward yourself next week.

Eat it. Definitely eat it.

Eat it, with real butter and a v thick layer of pate.
