To feel disgusted with myself for just doing this

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 😫

Two double cheeseburgers and a large Fanta here. I hate fries so have two burgers instead

I am an honorary Slav now according to my Russian and Polish friends. They are very proud of my drinking, eating and squatting abilities.

😂😂😂 i love that!!!!
Na zdravie!

(I know the squat is ususally as a joke online but I genuinely met so many people who can't put the heel down!)

Rhaenys · 26/11/2022 21:13

I’ve thought about doing that many times but have always chickened out at the last minute. 😂

username8888 · 26/11/2022 21:22

Seriously you ate 3 meals and washed it down with coke? No wonder it wasn't good, I'd feel sick with all that shite in me. If it had been a simple quarter pounder with lots of extra pickles and salad and not the gross excuse for cheese with a nice coffee, you may have liked it more.

Itsfridayforgiveyourself · 26/11/2022 21:43

@Taxanimal Why don’t you eat them if he works there? Does he know something we don’t 🙈😬

@Devoutspoken So, do I have a problem? Genuinely asking…why do people binge eat?

OP posts:
Devoutspoken · 26/11/2022 21:48

Op, i don't know for the same reason people binge anything? A kind of obliteration of feeling?

Itsfridayforgiveyourself · 26/11/2022 21:55

@Devoutspoken I can see how that can apply to binge drinking…pre Dd years ago, I enjoyed a weekly bottle of wine at home (was a binge for me as I’m a lightweight) so I’d be drunk and happy and less stressed after a hard week at work…and I enjoyed it.
Eating a lot doesn’t do that for me.
I suppose it was really just a wanting to try it as I’d always imagined how yum it would be to order just your favourite things…but as I was eating, it wasn’t great, I was getting full and it didn’t even taste that good. I did wonder why I bothered afterwards..but I’m sure I’m a binge eater as such. I overindulge sometimes (not like that) more eating more crisps than I really need, just being greedy really, I’m not sure I’ve got a problem though

*Im sure I’m NOT a binge eater as such..that was supposed to say

Devoutspoken · 26/11/2022 22:04

Well yes it's not the act itself in some ways, it's the feeling you had afterwards that compelled you to post on here.

amispeakingintongues · 26/11/2022 22:10

OP seriously this is nothing.

when pregnant i ate 20 chicken nuggets plus a big mac meal (with photographic evidence to document the triumph)

… was very proud of myself then threw up 30 mins later.

my partner was fully present for entire event start to finish and still loves me chicken nuggets n all😜

Devoutspoken · 26/11/2022 22:19

That's not normal

Itsfridayforgiveyourself · 26/11/2022 22:22

@Devoutspoken Whats not?

OP posts:
CattyStark · 26/11/2022 22:22

I can’t imagine eating that much shite in one sitting and not throwing it back up again. And a like McDonald’s

weird

Photographic evidence? Why? And why were you proud?

A healthy relationship with food means not feeling disgusted and hiding from people ....but it also means not bring ‘proud’.

Ha ha, not at all, he eats (lots!) on shift & we don’t eat take out, just Jaffa cakes… 🤣🤣

I sometimes have a craving for a big mac, but I couldn't manage the quantity of the OP.

It's always disappointing.

Bushgirl · 27/11/2022 06:28

Mcds had a recent promotion where if you spent £15 they knock £5 off. Too good to miss! I bought a 20 nugget share box, a McChicken crispy, meal with large coke and large fries, a bacon chicken mayo burger and a hot apple pie. Then I sat in the car and ate the lot. I did enjoy it but the guilt! I haven't been to mcds since.🙄

Totally unreasonable!!

You should've had a McFlurry not an apple pie.

Never make that mistake again.

When you say washed it down with coke, do you mean she drunk the coke?

Such dramatic language

boboshmobo · 27/11/2022 06:56

I couldn't fit that much food in my stomach 🤮

BosaNova · 26/11/2022 20:39

Loool.
I have one night when there was 5 of us and 23 bottles empty in a morning. We have no idea who did how many but by the hangover I still remember 10 years later, it might ahve been me!
Eastern europeans partied and it got bit toouch even for us😂😂😂😂
She must have felt dreadful but with happy belly full of cheese.

Fatty food helps when drinking. Always eat cheese or something fried😉

Oh god no!

I remember a bottomless cheese and (red) wine tour on the canals in Amsterdam, that did not end well Grin

CatSeany · 27/11/2022 07:18

McDs is never as good as I anticipate! I used to order chicken burger, chicken strips and chips because I was paranoid that it wouldn't be enough food... now ive learnt to just order one main thing!

Plus as I understand it was not meals.
3 burgers are not 3 meals in maccies. Meal is burger,fries,drink.

I wonder if that is why so many people are horrified.

VladmirsPoutine · 27/11/2022 08:32

As a general trend on this forum people have an odd relationship with food. Competitive under eating is what someone called it once. I can't understand how anyone can manage anything more than 3 carrots a day, but the rest of you gluttons carry on.
