To want to eat a jar of Nutella with a spoon for dinner?

[SauvignonBlanketyBlank]

First day on period,vag feels like its going to fall out and I've got severe pain and sugar/carb cravings.Im calorie counting and ive been doing so well but feel like I might cave today.

ok.

Can you take ibuprofen? Far better for the fandango than Nutella. Combine it with a hot water bottle on your lower stomach, a watch of Muriels Wedding and some cheese on toast with Worcester sauce and you'll be right as rain.

Do it. I had a box of Milk Tray for breakfast not so long ago

I prescribe the strongest painkillers you can find, a hot water bottle and a hot chocolate with squirty cream and lots of mini marshmallows. Plus chocolate sauce. Also two bottles of pink wine, three pizzas, back to back romantic comedies, a giant tray of nachos with all the dips, profiteroles, a tub of Ben & Jerrys and a still slightly frozen mandarin cheese cake (or forest gateau, to each her own).

This should eliminate any need for Nutella eating. But if your still hungry, be my guest 😊

@GinDaddy thanks for the input

Can i share an embarrassing Nutella moment?
Ds showed me a man on fb who had apparently got a spatula with his 1 kg jar of Nutella.
So I sent dh out to buy me one...
No spatula.
I emailed Nutella my absolute disgust!!
*slight over exaggeration but you get my drift..
It was a spoof fb post.
Omg I cringed!!
They agreed to suggest a spatula via whichever dept takes suggestions... but I bet they really just pissed themselves laughing!!

I would combine it with something so you don't feel sick, bananas and pancakes?

I really love Nutella too. I like to smooth it onto a digestive biscuit and dunk it in tea, it's so good. And better than eating it staight out of the jar as you'll consume less of it.

Do it! I’m calorie counting too but when that craving hits sometimes you just have to do it. I’m with you in spirit.

YANBU, calories during period pain don’t count. I only like Nutella in pancakes and also melted as a sauce for strawberries.

I did that once. Half a jar. Once it was nearly finished I put 2 scoops of ice cream in it and cleaned the jar.
Ended up with a migraine the next day, but a wee teaspoonful ends up in my belly a few times during my period.

I have too developed a Nutella addiction recently, it seems to come in phases

YABU, I am sure you meant to say peanut butter.

It is unreasonable. You need the lotus biscoff chunky spread.

Thanks for the "thread"

@GibDaddyRedux so good you came on it twice

@Gin not Gib obviously

Just done the same with white chocolate spread. Mmmmmmm

Yanbu. Enjoy!

Do it!

YABU because Nutella is the spread of the devil

Have you considered using a twix to eat the Nutella, rather than a spoon?

I find a twix is also a good utensil to use when eating anything out of the jar / tub. Peanut butter, ice cream etc.

Hope you feel better soon OP. I also get the hunger around period time, no point fighting it, you can be healthy for the other 27 days a month.

Do it.

I had to search through the cupboard to find the Nutella jar only to discover my bastard husband had eaten it all. Pig.

YANBU - do what you need to do to feel better!

@GinDaddyRedux

Do you have anything useful to add?

You do realise that mumsnet is mostly female and period threads are going to pop up from time to time?
