    could you even absorb all the calories in the pie if eaten all at once like that?

    :noway:

    Is that a "yes" or "no"? It's not like I'll lose a bunch of weight if I decided not to eat anything at all for one day (extreme calorie deficit vs extreme calorie surplus)

    I'm no expert, but I'm thinking if you could overload your body to the point where they canceled each other out/weren't all absorbed by binging... We all wouldn't be here.

    I wasn't suggesting eating a whole pie today and not eating anything tomorrow.

    I was asking if all the calories eaten during a binge like that really gets absorbed. ie.. eating 4,000 calores in one pie at one sitting = 4,000 calories absorbed. I think if you ate one piece of pie per day, it would eventually absorb a bigger % of the pie's calories than just stuffing it all in at one time.

    Make your own "slice" of pie! Have a graham cracker, crumble it over a pudding cup, and add some non-fat whip! Voila!
    You get what you're craving and not breaking the calorie bank. :-)

    ahh, depression is the culprit. i go thru this at least once a week-" i feel abnormal, i'm tired of measuring, counting calories, etc., i just want to be like everyone else and eat what i want without worrying about it"- depression makes you not care about yourself in a healthy way. you'll hate yourself for eating the pie and be more depressed once you've "enjoyed" it. and what's more, everyone doesn't get to eat whatever they want- lots of people are in the same boat you are. like i said before, go get some sugar free dark chocolate pudding (which is similar to the cream in the pie) and eat the whole stupid package if you want- that would only be 360 calories which is way better than eating an entire pie :) good luck :)

    Your just going to regret it, you know that. If not, then at least make a real chocolate pie and none of this crap filling that resembles chocolate.......do it right.

    Eat one piece and then hit someone in the face with the rest of it.

    Tell them you got the rules between April Fool's and Halloween confused.

    You're welcome

    Love this!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Chocolate pie seems like the easy way out.

    If you're going to go down that road anyway, you might as well make some mac and cheese with bacon and some have some chicken wings along with the pie. Oh and some deep dish pizza.

    If you're going to do it, do it right.

    Hello? This gal lost 114 pounds. She's no amateur. I get it , you're having a down day. It happens. Enjoy the fantasy and if you should feel the need to act on it, you obviously know what it takes by now to undo the damage

    Okay, try this: Place the pie on a flat, sturdy surface, such as a table or counter top. Now, Open your mouth and eyes. Keep both open.
    Blow out all of the air in your lungs. Yes, all of it. Now do not inhale yet.
    Plunge your entire face (yes your entire face) into the pie. Keeping your eyes open. Eat all that you can before having to inhale again. If you can ignore the intense burning of your eyes from pie in them and don't aspirate pie into your lungs, you are AMAZING, and deserve to eat a whole pie.

    Seriously, don't. You'll just regret it later..

    I'm so happy I'm gluten intolerant. I'd have to make that pie before I could eat it, and let me tell you, at that point...I'd just be over whatever was stressing me out so much I wanted to binge.


    I don't think eating your feelings is all that different than drinking your feelings. Learn to cope, don't just mask it with food. It's the beginning of bad and dangerous coping mechanism.

    Well, first I am new here as of about 30 minutes ago so I don't know if I am even qualified to give advice or thoughts on this.
    Before anything else wow, you are amazing for what you have accomplished.
    I would like at times to eat a whole pie.
    If it was me, and I had done all the work you did, I would be thinking is this the kind of emotional reaction that caused me to be heavy in the first place and knowing myself I would say YES.
    Lastly, I think it will taste great until about the 2nd half and then it will be gross, you know how something starts out so good and then you overeat it and you wonder why didn't I quit when it still tasted nummers??
    You might be very unhappy with yourself and not feel well at all once done...:sick:
    Good luck, I hope you make the right decision for you whatever that may be..:flowerforyou:

    I'd get one of those frozen edwards things with 2 slices, eat both slices, feel like I just super indulged & call it good.

    I just ate more than my share of halloween candy.
    With the guilt, bloating and stomach pain I'm feeling right now, it wasn't worth it.

    If you really want that whole pie, go for it.
    Just think about the thoughts and feelings that will come afterward...
    Think about whether it will make that bad mood better or make it worse

    What is interesting about this is the OP could in fact eat the whole pie, and then just eat a little more of a deficit each day for the rest of the 6 days in the week, and wouldnt gain any weight at all. Maybe a little water weight, but thats it. All these people that say dont do it unfortunately dont know how to work macros and calorie intake/deficits. It's doable. =)

    Bad mood today, Just want to eat an entire chocolate pie! :)

    I won't! (hopefully) I wont buy it because I might just eat the whole thing

    how many calories is it? if its not over your goal then you wont gain!

    you know.. if you eat the whole thing, and it makes you sick, you might never want to eat pie again! And that would be a good thing, right?

    It sounds like you're an emotional eater (as am I). Look at the reasons why you want to eat the whole pie. Make a chart of the pros and cons of eating the whole pie. If the pros outweigh the cons then eat one slice at a time. Eat it slowly and enjoy every bite. Since you have lost so much weight (congrats!) you might find that you are unable to eat the whole thing without feeling sick. Eat it if you want but stop when you are sick or full. DO NOT punish yourself for eating it. I am convinced that you will get back on track and quickly lose whatever weight you may or may not gain.

    You would have to eat an excess of 3500 calories to gain 1 pound.
    I now have hope that I can eat of thanksgiving and not gain weight! ;o)

    Really? Why would you even WANT to do that???

    This. I'm a binger, but man I don't even get the desire to eat a whole pie (or half gallon of ice cream) mostly because I know that when I'm done I'd feel guilty, disgusting, and like I want to vomit with an upset stomach . . . do you really want to feel that way? I mean, really?

    My issue isn't that you can't make it fit into your round hole, my issue is that if you are an emotional eater there are more issues at work here than just "does it fit into my calories" (even though that's the basic question). Have the damn pie, but eat it a slice a day for six days and learn to control the emotional eating instead of piling on the additional feelings (both physically and psycholoically) of giving in to sticking your face in an entire pie. The question is about calories, the issue is all of the underlying attachments.
