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.

Totally normal, don't beat yourself up at all. No need to cut back or anything just carry on eating what you want / normally do.

Nith · 10/04/2021 22:54

Half price, you say? Where might one find those? Just asking hypothetically, for a friend, you understand.

DH and I have gone through 2 tubes of pringles tonight!

dontblameme · 10/04/2021 23:00

You've reminded me of the time in college when I ate a whole tub of sour cream n chive Pringles. Sick all night. Never did it again. Can eat a few now Smile

I was narrowly saved today from a similar fate. I had just worked my way through a quarter of the tube of sour cream Pringles when I was momentarily distracted allowing DD to walk off with the tube. After she had worked through say a third of the tube, DS noticed and demanded his share " it's not fair etc" and snatched the tube. It was eventually returned to me with just some broken bits in the bottom.

I've found my fellow sinners! I ate a whole lasagne meant for two people... it was delicious! 😆

Metalhead · 10/04/2021 23:11

I ate nearly a whole bag of Haribo tonight...

AtLeastThreeDrinks · 10/04/2021 23:15

God I want some Pringles now. Salt and vinegar, obviously. And one of the big tubs of hummus.

Thewiseoneincognito · 10/04/2021 23:17

I was devastated to read the calories in a tube of Pringles. Utterly devastated.

FrankensteinIsTheMonster · 10/04/2021 23:23

Best way to put yourself off sour cream Pringles is to buy and use some of those garlic cat-repellant granules

Keeping2ChevronsApart · 10/04/2021 23:24

It's more unreasonable that the makers claim they are half price. They just whack the price up to £3 for a few weeks. I won't buy them on principle now! I've had 2 egg custards and 2 cherry bakewells today. I wouldn't normally but they were there. Feel a bit annoyed with myself, but as others have pointed out tomorrow's another day.

Thefamilybusiness · 10/04/2021 23:24

It's just food, not something to feel distressed about!
That way madness lies.

GaryUnicorn · 10/04/2021 23:25

Have you tried Walkers Stax? Much nicer than Pringles!

DaphneBridgerton · 10/04/2021 23:25

I ate two pitta breads, half a tub of taramasalata and an entire family sized bag of crisps (m&s ones) for lunch today. 39 weeks pregnant for context!

Divebar2021 · 10/04/2021 23:29

I once chomped my way through half a packet of Maryland cookies... to disguise the fact I finished the packet, bought another packet and ate 1 or 2 from that and then pretended they were the original ones. Cunning.

Dear OP
Sometimes I buy a tub of ice cream in the supermarket. i do not do it very often because I know I will eat the whole lot not always in one sitting but more often than not I do.

The answer is not to buy it obviously but when I do I convince myself I will not be greedy this time.

I am not a fan of crisps or biscuits but ice cream in all it's fattiness and deliciousness is my weakness.

I think we all have vices of some sort really.

StartingGrid · 10/04/2021 23:33

If it makes you feel any better, I paid 85p for a tiny pot of them earlier (damn petrol gàrages not having decent sized snacks) and to add insult to injury dropped all the crumbs all over the sofa Sad

Bellyups · 10/04/2021 23:33

Meh. I eat a tube in one sitting on a weekly basis

earthyfire · 10/04/2021 23:34

Done this but with bag of Doritos flaming hot nacho, far too moreish so I can't have them in the house.

Notimeforaname · 10/04/2021 23:40

I try not to go to Iceland too often as every time I do, I go home to eat a giant bag of wotsits with a whole tub of Seriously strong spreadable cheese.

I feel disgusting and look disgusting, sticky fingers,orange dust everywhere

Maryland are my top biscuits/cookies/anything. Best eaten with a cup of tea.

RhubarbCustardy · 10/04/2021 23:42

I ate a large bar of chocolate the other day and afterwards realised that I didn't really taste it or enjoy it just scoffed it. Better to take a few pieces out the packet, and put he rest away before eating.
I've eaten a whole pack of jaffa cakes before and then felt sick,. Don't beat yourself up OP we've all been there. Best not to buy them even at half price. Just a pot full of calories and salt. If they're not there you can't eat them. Says with think bubble 'yeah who you giving advice to when you know how many packets of biscuits you've got in the cupboard huh?!! 😆 🤣 😂
