To feel disgusted with myself for just doing this

365 replies

Itsfridayforgiveyourself · 25/11/2022 19:26

Went to a drive through before, ordered my Dd a happy meal and myself a Big Mac, Mcchicken sandwich, cheeseburger and coke. No idea why, just always wanted to order my favourite things and not do the meal thing. Generally always with Dh and would feel kind a pig in front of him.
I barely ever drink Coke either, literally only when I have a mcds or pizza, which doesn’t sound like it by this thread, but is pretty rare!
Whyyyyy 🙈it wasn’t even that bloody good, not like I imagined it 😫

Exactly this. ^ What are people cheering the OP on for? Confused I am not obsessed with dieting or being a teeny tiny eater, but eating 3 full adult meals in one go suggests some kind of issue with eating. In addition, it's not good or healthy, and it's nothing to be proud of.

'It's only once' a few people have said. Once or twenty times, it's still an excessive amount, and is it really once? If so, why ??? Why eat that much? Confused

So @Itsfridayforgiveyourself in response to your thread title YANBU, you should be disgusted with yourself. (You did ask.......) Also, to the mockers, deriders, and 'leave the OP alone'-ers, she DID ASK! Hmm

She had three burgers. Not 3 full meals. Significant difference.

Op, that amount of food in one sitting is binge eating

Is it though?
Is a bjrger, large fries and small cheesy dips also binging?

When they started the 20 'share' box of cheese melt dippers (can't remember if it was last year or year before maybe?) I was so excited. I adore them. Turns out 20 is a bit much for one person! I couldn't manage them all and started to feel a little unwell. Whoever knew there was such a thing as too many cheese melt dippers?!

@janglealltheway

who knew there was such a thing as cheese melt dippers at McD's??

I need to know how good they are? Hot & melts or just warm & a bit meh?

I thought they'd stopped doing Apple Pies, seems not.

might need to hit a drive through later. Need to check out what vegetarian offerings they have so I don't hold up the queue!!

If you are a healthy weight and generally fit and healthy, who gives a flying fuck?

You need to move to Europe. Loads of cities have dedicated gluten free McDonald's now. Don't know why they don't do one here.

@NeverDropYourMooncup sounds like a long weekend in Europe coming on! The Christmas Markets are worth a visit, goid exude fir a NcD splurge??

Devoutspoken · 26/11/2022 12:32

Allofthemwitches, I don't give a flying fuck but I was responding to the op who said it wasn't binge eating, 3 burgers in one sitting is a lot

TheChosenTwo · 26/11/2022 12:39

I order 2 hamburgers and 1 regular fries and always felt like it was a very guilty indulgence 😂 I will feel less guilt in future! Although this probably happens once a month these days as I work in a different place now so rarely go out of my way to the drive thru 😞

janglealltheway · 26/11/2022 12:42

@SkylightSkylight

Yes they are delicious, generally come hot (and best eaten that way.) Camembert in crispy breadcrumb, deep fried. Beautiful. They come with a tomato dip but I never bother with that.

Hamburger is my perfect meat-to-bread-to-pickle ratio but they’re small; 1.5 is my ideal amount.

ChristmasJumpers · 26/11/2022 12:04

Oh you have to try them! They're called Cheese Melt Dippers and are sooo divine

@ChristmasJumpers
i don't want to go out today, but if I have to, a mcD drive through might get. Visit 🤣

(I won't get a delivery because I'd rather eat it HOT, I don't care about eating it in the car in the carpark)

@Devoutspoken you really need to do some reading about n binge eating.

it's not simply an occasional over indulgence.

You're not doing it right unless you get a 20 box of nuggets and one of those new(ish) pineapple and mango smoothies. I don't know what it is, but the two go together really well. I do it once a month or so, even though it doesn't really agree with me.

TheChosenTwo · 26/11/2022 14:05

@stuntbubbles yes!! I love the gherkins and the sweet onions, I have dabbled in the past with a quarter pounder but they’re too ‘meaty’ for me, I prefer a thinner patty with more condiments, 1.5 would indeed be the perfect amount but I do always manage them both! I started off this little habit with large fries too but I never ate all the fries so downgraded to medium 😂

EndlessRain · 26/11/2022 14:07

YANBU to do it. It's obviously not healthy, but as a one off not a big deal.

Feeling disgusted with yourself and hiding what you really want to eat from your DH is weird though, and suggests you have some issues surrounding food.

BosaNova · 26/11/2022 14:13

I get the hiding.

It's because everyone seems wierded out by meal in burgers but would never say a word to same cal and probs similar weight meal in burger and 2 sides 😉

stuntbubbles · 26/11/2022 14:33

@TheChosenTwo The large is too large, the medium not quite enough to accompany the 1.5 hamburgers. Wish there were a bespoke sized option. Don’t suppose you live in my neighbourhood and we can team up to split the perfect order…

Oh sorry wrong thread!

TheChosenTwo · 26/11/2022 16:00

@stuntbubbles that actually would be pretty handy!! Reckon we’d look like The Odd Couple sitting in silence just carving up a hamburger and divvying up fries 😂

Taxanimal · 26/11/2022 18:19

No judgement here, although DS works for McDs so we don’t eat the burgers… I don’t think I could physically eat all that although I did once eat a whole pack of Jaffa cakes 🤮🤣🤣

Boooooot · 26/11/2022 18:23

They have the Camembert dippers me and husband have just shared a box!

Cherrysoup · 26/11/2022 18:35

I applaud you, OP! I couldn’t get through all 3, but by god, I’d like to try!

Missingpop · 26/11/2022 18:45

Fucking hell did you actually eat it all? I can just about manage six chicken nuggets & a few fries but that amount of food !! I’d have been spewing my guts up; no wonder your asking it’s un reasonable; that’s the sort of meals the Tammy eats on 1000ld sisters on TLC 😂😂😂😂

It really isn't 🙄

Did you all know that if you go to "nice" Honest burgers and get the social acceptable burger and fries, like their plant burger and rosemary fries, you will end up on same calories (and probably amount of food as well).

But that wouldn't cause any raised eyebrows, innit. Because it's a burger and fries in actual sit down restaurant so it absolutely cannot be same calories like mcdonalds who is single handedly making everyone obese....
