To ask how many Easter eggs have you eaten today?

[lumos3]

Oh god.

I've had two and half Easter eggs, a creme egg and a small bag of chocolate buttons

Awful I know. But I have the awful mentality that I should eat it all now rather than let it derail my healthy eating by eating bits every day. I know this is dysfunctional...I also find it hard to stop once I start.

Can anyone beat me?

If well rounded means eating three Easter Eggs and thinking it’s normal and actually ok, then yep, am clearly not well-rounded.
And I can live with that tbh.

[quote Nosetickle]@Quincythequince there’s something about chocolate (for chocolate lovers) that makes it difficult to stop even when you feel sick. It must seem strange if you aren’t like that or if you’re able to stop yourself when you’ve had enough. I suppose it’s addictive. I find Cadburys the worst for not being able to stop but it’s also my favourite, nothing else quite hits the spot for me which is tricky! I look forward to a splurge at Easter and Christmas but I’m usually very good and healthy normally and I’m an advocate of everything in moderation![/quote]
I will never understand this. I suppose that’s why I genuinely feel a bit 😯 by these confessions!

My husband adores chocolate - he doesn’t do this.

We’ll rounded people I guess are aware of their vices and the fact that nobody is perfect and we all slip up from time to time. They also don’t make others feel ashamed when they do.

@Nosetickle

Absolutely. A lot of horrible people on here who have massive food issues and get triggered when other women “confess” how much they’ve eaten.

Only you can be responsible for being ashamed of your actions. Nobody can make you feel anything.

It’s like Eleanor Roosevelt said regarding being offended. That’s on you - not on anyone else.

Your view of yourself when someone questions something is down to your perception of the behaviour in question.

If it’s so normal, the. why feel ashamed at all?

LOL. No food issues at all.
Am a Very healthy body size and shape and in good metabolic health.

And I don’t gorge - ever!

Why is that so hard to believe that people can eat normally and healthily and not have ‘issues’

Bit eating three Easter eggs is perfectly normal and there are no issues there then.

Ok…

Did anyone say it’s normal to eat so much chocolate you feel sick? Of course it’s not! I’m not ashamed, I actually found this to be a lighthearted and amusing thread until people like you started taking it all so seriously.

@Nosetickle

And perhaps we’ll rounded people eat everything they like in moderation. Just some food for thought.

No pun intended.

You mention being ashamed. Not me!
I have never told anybody they should feel ashamed.

I don’t find it at all hard to believe that people can eat normally and healthily and not have issues. The question is why do you find it so hard to believe that some people let their hair down and have a bit of a chocolate binge at Easter but also eat normally and healthily the rest of the year and not have issues?

None sorry.
I took the family eggs ( eight large ones) and six box of chocolates up to the foodbank this morning.

I don’t find it that hard to believe now redid this. I just can’t imagine it.

Have said this three times now - clearly people do. But I don’t get it.
I am allowed to not get it in the same way you (or maybe someone else even) can eat many hundreds grams of chocolate in a few hours!

And yet 66% of women are overweight or obese, so there is really no normal eating for the rest of the year is there!

People are triggers by someone being 😲by this!

Because it is worthy of that kind of repo se.
Doesn’t mean there’s a personal value judgement attached to it.

Like I said, my DH adores chocolate. My boys do too. They don’t and wouldn’t do this.

Oh Quincy you’re a fat shamer admit it !!!

@speakout

According to this thread, You must be joyless speakout

That would have lasted three days max in some other houses so it seems.

How dare you not get stuffing back all that chocolate in record time!

@JollyWilloughby

Oh Quincy you’re a fat shamer admit it !!!

No I’m not.

But are you fat and ashamed of what you eat? Otherwise why would you say this?

None but only because I'm a savory person so had crisps and leftovers from yesterday's dinner to polish off!

Eggs will take me weeks to eat as I just don't love chocolate.

My MIL got me a cheeseboard instead which I'm buzzing with

Some us don't consider binge eating chocolate as a way of "letting our hair down."
Some like it, others don't.
My family don't like sweet things.
The idea of a chocolate binge leaves me feeling ill.
I have already disposed of my DD and Ds' eggs.

And unlike a PP who has said this is atypical behaviour, you are assuming that those who does this are fat.

I have never made that assumption at all.

Well rounded people don’t fat shame irrespective of their weight, health or metabolic health. You’re a fat shamer and you’ve been called out for it.

And yet 66% of women

As high as that? Is there a link?

I am not, and I haven’t. Not once have I mentioned a posters weight.

My mentioning my weight health etc was because someone accused me of having issues because I don’t eats loads chocolate and I was pointing out that being a healthy weight etc, I clearly don’t .

Nice try though.

Department of Health and. Social Care:

NHS.

It is a quick Google - Uk obesity stats- Literally that quick.

Quicker than unwrapping an egg and eating it.

63% apparently.

Apologies. Minor error in my part. But not the kind of error you are suggesting.
