burningupinspeed · 27/06/2009 20:48

Mmmm, tea. YANBU, I suppose... actually YABU for using anything but real butter

HaventSleptForAYear · 27/06/2009 20:48

What is ICBINB????

BCNS · 27/06/2009 20:48

not if you want to end up the size of a house or you needed all of that

Yes, ICBINB is the work of the devil. Get real butter. Ignore all the food-fascists telling you it is bad for you as there is nothing else remotely as good.

If you often eat like that then I would have to say, from an objective pov, that you have an eating disorder - but I'm sure you could overcome it ... if you are able to access the right help.

If its a one-off, I'd say its a bit odd but probably not unreasonable.

i definitely dont eat like this often!!! i couldnt afford it for a start. just tonight i dont see to have any will power. i think its because i had a big lunch today and so didnt have any dinner this evening and now my tummy is looking to fill the space.

burningupinspeed · 27/06/2009 21:02

Ah, I was expecting you to be pregnant - sounds like my main meals in the first trimester.

That is an awful lot. Are you okay?

Bloody hell can't anyone posy about their scoff fest without being asked if they have an eating disorder?

Just the other day I ate an entire block of brie, half a jar of onion chutney and about 15 crackers. Washed down with white wine.

burningupinspeed · 27/06/2009 21:07

I guess I was asking if it was emotional eating.

I am always ravenous the night after a big dinner though, so maybe one big meals leads to wanting another. I am less hungry when I eat dinner early or have something small

DP has just gone to do us a scone each with jam and cream, and a cup of tea... feck. But it has been a long day

Mmmmm....wish I had some brie in the house.

Biccy · 27/06/2009 21:10

I thought perhaps you were pregnant too... now I'm thinking pre-menstrual? I just can't stop myself when I'm pre-menstrual... or pregnant...
