Would you consider this “having stuffed yourself all day”

[ThatJolly]

I was talking to a friend and she accused me of competitive underrating, which i certainly was not doing! I referred to my eating as having stuffed my face all day and she told me to get a grip and she found what I said triggering!

What I ate:

• Scrambled eggs (2 eggs) with veggies toasted sarnie
• Beans on toast (2 slices)
• Half a carton of precut pineapple
• chicken wings and celery with hot sauce
• a child’s plate of ravioli and homemade cheese sauce (this was on top off my dinner and purely a craving, I was full so it was very much not needed)

I went to bed uncomfortably stuffed. So to me i did “stuff my face all day”

What do you think?

Or just big meals like a three or four course meal at lunch and then a loaded plate for dinner too.

ODFOD.

As a recovering anorexic I can spot a competitive undereater a mile off.

I am tempted to say that you did eat a disgusting quantity of food, but that’s unfair. But I am desperate to rise to the bait.

You ate a normal amount of food and unhealthy food at that. Well done.
If youfelt uncomfortably full then it’s because you are an undereater. Stop being disingenuous.

Im reading your further comments oP and you seem determined to think you ate a huge amount. I can tell you what I ate today

• 4 sljces of white bread toast with real butter
• an orange
• an apple
• 2 pitta and hummous
• an entire cadburys easter egg, the cheap small ones
• some salami slices
• Vegetable soup
• microwave chicken curry, rice, sag aloo
• a penguin bar
• 4 cups of coffee with milk and sugar

I am average height and weight , this is pretty much my food quantities in a notmal day. I will eat the same amount tomorrow. I dont excercise a huge amount.
Therefore to me you absolutely did not stuff your face.

600 calories is normal for a main meal...

An ant's plate?! You absolute glutton.

I would choose a plate belonging to a mycoplasma genitalium (yeah, I googled...) at most, and I'd still feel like I'd over-indulged.

I haven’t RTFT but it seems like the OP is seeking validation around her eating habits and this doesn’t seem healthy to me, better to stop giving the question any oxygen I think?

It's an amuse-bouche at best.

Don't fire her into the sun when she's eating the Yorkie bar though as it would melt and that's just a waste of good chocolate.

Yes.

Yeah I would have this as a snack. Unless its like 15 wings, maybe id have 15 for dinner with some salad.

No, I don’t use phrases like that. They come from diet culture. They come from a place of mistakenly thinking there’s some kind of moral aspect to the quantity of food you eat and so disgust and disdain should be shown for eating larger quantities and approval shown for eating smaller quantities. This tends to apply to women rather than men (other than obese men), so there’s a fair whack of internalised misogyny in there too.

Grounded women don’t bother with it.

Why do you think phrases like that resonate with you?

Wings and celery aren't a match which immediately springs to mind!

4 slices of bread btw is only 2 sandwiches and a few forkfuls of left over pasta isn't excessive carbs,have a word with yourself!

We're all different. For you that is stuffing yourself all day. It doesn't matter what other people think.

If your friend has a problem with food then anything you say will probably be triggering - especially if you are thin.

I’ve had:

• No breakfast.

• A Burger King (Peppercorn burger, fries, halloumi fries).

• Chicken tenders, sweet potato fries

• A chocolate eclair

• An inordinate amount of tea that I’m not happy/able to count the volume of

By no stretch do I think that’s a healthy day. It is quite likely, “stuffing my face.”

I had a friend who used to have a side salad for lunch, on the side of the bowl. Or a bowl of peas, or half an apple. She surprisingly enough wasn’t well.

I don’t think anyone who needs to specify that their food is a child’s portion has a healthy relationship with food. That’s alright, but coming on the internet to proclaim otherwise is just odd.

Hmmm. Good game.

I ate:

Breakfast: coffee

Lunch: Leek, Potato & Cheddar soup - a portion for 2, to myself - with about half a loaf of white bread because I drifted off while cutting it and once it was cut, well, it needs eating. I said I wouldn't eat it all, and I did.

Dinner: Pasta in homemade bacon arrabiata sauce, with chicken breast through it. My teen son cooked it and made enough pasta to feed 6 people. There are 3 of us. Again, I said I wouldn't eat it all - and did. With two pieces of garlic bread.

Looking back, I'm embarrassed that I let that bit of leek in my soup and the tomatoes in the pasta sauce get in the way of all those carbs.

I am very full. OP did not 'stuff herself'.

Granted we don't know the number of wings or indeed the size of the chickens, but yeah...

I like your style.

I'm not sure if you had to list the foods out - it does seem like you're seeking validation.

If the words 'stuffed myself all day' triggered your friend, my hunch is that she's had issues around food that she is either working through or has worked through. A comment like that can be a bit tone deaf - especially if it is an exaggeration of what you have actually eaten.

I've got a friend who constantly refers to her need to 'cut back' after periods of 'being greedy' - she knows she is tiny and disciplined and the harshness on herself isn't intended to be competitive but it does reflect her attitude and judgement towards other peoples' eating habits. I have found comments like this do trigger me as it makes me feel judged should I be eating around her, also makes me hyper conscious of my weight around her too (i am a normal weight but much taller/bigger built than she is and can put away a lot more food too!)

No, that’s not stuffing yourself all day. That’s a healthy enough set of meals.
To be stuffing yourself all day, I’d expect to see cake, a pack of biscuits, a couple of takeaways etc.

Did anyone else eat a whole bag of mini eggs today as an afternoon snack because same🙈

That you feel judged, doesn’t mean she’s judging you. How do you know her comments are a reflection of her judgements on other people and not about how she feels about herself? People generally tend to focus on their own insecurities instead of other people’s.

Do you assume she has no worries about weight or food because she’s not overweight?

It is astonishing to me that so many posters feel able to definitively state how much food would make another person feel too full!

I'd be stuffed after that tbf OP... horses for courses init

What size bag?
Have Mini Eggs gone up in price about a million % since last year?
