Just ate a whole tube of Pringles. Very distressed.

Please make me feel better.

Pringles are bloody half price everywhere and I picked up a tube in the shop just now. Crunched my way through an entire tube of Original flavour, with a pot of houmous alongside for dipping. Kept putting the lid back on, then absent mindedly returning for more. Then the tube was empty, and so was the houmous pot. That’s like 1600 calories in about 30 mins.

I feel so disgusted with myself. Please tell me I’m not the only person to have done this.
Sad

I've done this many many times with salt and vinegar pringles, just cannot stop once I've started! Which is why I don't buy pringles anymore 😔

Squidelicious · 10/04/2021 21:30

I've had days when I have done a whole pringles tube and the big bar of cadburys whole nut.

My favourite is the share bags of wotsits and cadburys buttons together, you have to pop them in one of each together though.

You are not alone.

Oh the sour cream pringles. I could eat through the whole thing easy. Oh how I wish I had some.
The salty cheesy, fatty stuff they put on them is like crack cocaine!
EileenGC · 10/04/2021 21:31

You thought a tub of Pringles was going to last one week? YABU just for that. They never last more than one afternoon here Grin

Silvercatowner · 10/04/2021 21:31

The only way I don't eat this stuff is to not buy it. I have no self control. I did sk DH to hide stuff but he refused - says its too controlling :(.

VaVaGloom · 10/04/2021 21:32

YABU you should have bought paprika

madmara · 10/04/2021 21:32

You're making me jealous. We didn't add any treats to the shopping this week and now it's Saturday night and there's nothing to eat in this house! Stupid health kick.

@QueenOfPain

It’s not worth the shame or punishing yourself. You just ate some delicious food, that’s the end of it.

I've just eaten a whole packet of Mini Eggs. Quite fancy some Pringles now...

Chloemol · 10/04/2021 21:33

I have eaten a pot of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream today!

Still it’s gone now and I won’t be buying any more as it’s no longer at sale cost

Staffy1 · 10/04/2021 21:34

I'm on my second day of trying to eat normally after doing that kind of thing daily for weeks on end. So I'm certainly not judging you on your one incident.

@FrankensteinIsTheMonster

Fellow coeliac here. Lidl's own are g/f (they're what I buy) and Schar, the g/f people, do them in plain and bbq - but they cost 3x plus the Lidl ones.

@Arbadacarba

Well, the slogan is (or used to be) 'once you pop you can't stop' !

Deep breath
Draw a line
Move on

The slogan is why I pressed YABU.

You are powerless once you pop.

melmos · 10/04/2021 21:35

Ha I literally do this every weekend! With always with wine and currently lindt bunnies. Yummmmm

AtleastitsnotMonday · 10/04/2021 21:36

God are you going to be thirsty! In fact I’d probably rig up a hose pipe to you bed or you’ll have to get up 10 x in the night to get a drink.

Kassalah · 10/04/2021 21:36

Been there, done that! (And it was delicious, but they leave me with a sore tongue, which I hate). Tomorrow's a new day.

Clevs · 10/04/2021 21:37

I had most of a big bag of onion ring crisps the other day. Just absentmindedly picking at them whilst I was reading something on my phone.

Fahrted · 10/04/2021 21:37

"Einmal Popp, kein Stopp".

That is all.

This woman died today. Please do not be distressed. Please do not feel disgusted.

BurbageBrook · 10/04/2021 21:39

Forgive yourself and move on OP. Tomorrow’s another day.

@vodkaredbullgirl

I'm half way through a 200 g bar of dairy milk Grin
I've eaten more than half... and the only reason any is left is I was meant to save half for my DH 🙈
TangerineGreen · 10/04/2021 21:40

Def not bu, I remember one xmas morning (pre children) when I had a tube of paprika Pringles in my dressing gown pocket, could just eat and potter around recovering from my Xmas eve night out... ah those were the days! Enjoy those Pringles OP.. no guilt allowed!

DishingOutDone · 10/04/2021 21:43

@TulipsHyacinths

Haha *@Bluey18* yes, but i’d naively thought I’d make them last all week! My innocence earlier in the day when I bought them...
😂 😂 🤣

Amateur!

Gumandbass · 10/04/2021 21:44

A glass of water????. In for a penny, pour yourself a glass of wine love. Put it down as a blip & endeavor to eat well tomorrow 🥂

atsasnuffothat · 10/04/2021 21:46

Co-op big bag of toffees says "Perfect for Sharing".

I say "Perfect for Eating Entirely on Your Own And Then Feeling Quite Sick" Grin
