Okay... so I know its not ideal and it’s not something I do often, but it happened!!!

Is this something anyone else does on occasion or AIBU to overindulge to that extent?

Just the one? Grin

Spitsandspots · 17/11/2019 17:56

I do things like this far too frequently. After being really good and losing 1&1/2 stone I’ve found myself starting to stuff my face again. 5llbs back on already Blush

GiveHerHellFromUs · 17/11/2019 18:00

YABU to pretend it isn't a regular occurrence

What ever rocks your boat but not sure why binge eating is seen as more acceptable than binge drinking mind

PurpleTreeFrog · 17/11/2019 18:08

I used to eat an entire pack of digestive biscuits over the course of the day at school when I was 16... about 2000 calories, in addition to three meals a day. I weighed about 6 stone and didn't have an eating disorder, wasn't super active either, just had a high metabolism!

I've slowed down a bit now but I could still eat a 100-200g bar of chocolate most nights and not become overweight.

@Vulpine really? Neither are great, but binge drinking is much riskier for your health, both short term and long term.

Or a whole bottle of wine in a few hours!
I don’t think it’s abnormal
When you’re very tired you can get the same brain reactions which cause the effects of the munchies’ as in after you’ve smoked hash and have the munchies

borntobequiet · 17/11/2019 18:12

Yes.

ThunderR0ad78 · 17/11/2019 18:20

Easy!

MotherOfSoupDragons · 17/11/2019 18:22

Totally unreasonable. It's only got tiny bits of nuts in these days.

BonnesVacances · 17/11/2019 18:22

YABU because Cadbury's is rank. But I've just finished a massive bag of Bugles, so YANBU for having no self control. Grin

BonnyE · 17/11/2019 18:26

This happens to me with chocolate oranges

ASqueakingInTheShrubbery · 17/11/2019 18:29

I semi-accidentally necked a whole box of After Eights last night. Absent-mindedly munching while reading a book. Not an issue for me as long as it's only occasional. It's when DH and I get into the habit of nibbling chocolate every evening that I start putting on weight.

zaffa · 17/11/2019 19:01

YABVVU to eat chocolates with raisins in it. It would have been completely acceptable to eat a whole nut bar though Smile I did just wolf down half a choc orange in solidarity but it's ok as I am pregnant and therefor nothing I do can be judged Grin

IScreamForIceCreams · 17/11/2019 19:04

Ah yeah......quilty as charged

QueenoftheBiscuitTin · 17/11/2019 19:13

It happens to us all.

Andahelterskelterroundmylittle · 17/11/2019 19:19

🤣🤣 ... aaaw Amateur level !
I laugh in the face of your 200g

Caramelll · 17/11/2019 19:26

Well I’m relieved I’m not the only one who does this sort of thing from time to time. It’s not the sort of thing you brag to your friends about so I’d wondered if it was something that other people just don’t do.

I don’t feel quite so guilty now Grin

I ate a whole Ritter Sport earlier, I felt justified due to the amount of steps up to the recycling containers at the tip, I must have gone up ten times, loaded the car with old laminate flooring, emptied it, then got up and down off a chair about six times removing masking tape and putting slight painting errors right around the ceiling. I’m totally kidding myself!

Cloverbeauty · 17/11/2019 19:36

And I've just finished mine and feel sick Grin I'm such a greedy pig but I blame you op Grin

Gemma2019 · 17/11/2019 19:37

I'm not so bad with fruit and nut, but would always eat the whole box of Maltesers or entire packet of 5 jam doughnuts.

Serenity45 · 17/11/2019 19:40

YANBU

HTH Grin

Bourbonbiccy · 17/11/2019 20:06

Absolutely not, I won't divulge the true extent, but I have been know to eat rather more than that in a Friday night sitting BlushBlush

Vulpine · 17/11/2019 20:09

Goodwinter - i would say the jury's out on that.

HauntedPinecone · 17/11/2019 20:10

I've drunk a bottle of wine, eaten a pizza and now I'm opening my second bottle and eating peanuts. I'm on holiday is my defence 😂
