Did you ever eat one thing all day long and nothing else so you could have it as much as you wanted? A tray of brownies is 2000 calories, you could start in the morning and just keep going.

    That might work when I'm PMSing.

    Nope. But I went on a pregnancy binge on Sunday. It was a horribly bad day. 2 donuts, a Whopper meal, and 3 jumbo cupcakes later in the day. I felt awful. I haven't done anything like that in a REALLLLLY long time.

    Problem with that is I would be done by 9am and starving for the rest of the day LOL sounds good though.

    My little cousin (he's 5) offered me brownies he got from school, so yeah, I ate all the ones he didn't. Probably half a tray

    LMAO Ok Im overweight, the most I ever gained during pregnancy was 22lbs. Its not a license to be a glutton, have some self control.

    No, I'll do what I want thanks.

    Nobody needs to use the word glutton. It is hurtful and increases guilt.

    Not since I been trying to lose weight and logging calories but before that. Yeah sure. I weighed almost 400lbs! I ate some trays of brownies, whole box of doughnuts, chinese food.

    Yeah I'm probably not one of those people who ruined their metabolism.

    Just the thought makes me cringe now. I hope I keep that feeling. It'd be downright dangerous for me to give in to something like that now but if you have never been like me about food then if that's really what you wanna do go for it!

    It might give you the runs or something though if you have been eating really healthy lately.

    Man those brownies would NOT even last all day. If I started at 9am, the tray would be clean by 9:15am. I don't play. No sir. lol

    Not if you cared about fat, sat fat, sugar, and carbs as well as calories.

    Yep. We are dealing with Hurricane Isaac, and we've been through 2 pans in 2 days. I'm not even feeling guilty about it.

    If I ate 2000cals of brownie in one day I'd be a grumpy, shaky, jittery, burnt out mess!

    Same! Hahah. But... if this were EVER to happen to me, I'd make sure it was only like, twice a year.

    Nope, but yesterday I ate 7 pieces of caramel oat slice (thats 1750 calories btw), plus a whole load of little mint cream biscuits, plus some chocolates, as well as my normal meals.
    Back on the wagon today, that's all I can say. Easy to do, and at the end of the day all we can do is remind ourselves what we need to do, keep calm and carry on.

    And to realredhead79, I hope things calm down for you. Do what you need to do to get through.

    What if you had the black bean brownies? More trays? Less calories per tray? I wouldn't be able to ration a tray of brownies through a day though....I would scarf them like Garfield with a lasagna!

    I'd definitely have to "taste" them, then have a couple more to ensure they were really good and then, much later, I'd probably just want even more to munch on...... I hope it's a BIG tray....:wink:

    I have never done this but I have a friend who does that with things like brownies and cake, and it makes her happy, so whatever. She only does it once or twice a year, and she does it and still stays within a reasonable amount of calories. You only live once...

    i'll probably get lip for this..but i agree to an extent that pregnancy doesnt mean you can just "do as you please". you have to make good choices for the child you're carrying, also-there is a thing called gestational diabetes that a mother can carry on even AFTER giving birth.."food" for though hmm? :huh:

    now with that being said, im not perfect. hell i gained about 60lbs with my son, my first and only pregnancy. did i eat whatever i wanted? not really...but i worked a lot still and long hours and ate WHEN i could and didn't do ANY exercising at ALL. sometimes i would eat junk but i rarely had a true craving. (cravings are said to be from a diffeciency somewhere in your body, something you're body is missing and you begin to crave it). i refused to let the thought of "you're eating for two" run my life because i'm sorry, but eating for two would consist of eating for two people..a growing fetus is NOT an ENTIRE person so they need nutrients yes, but not NEAR as many and that's where prenatals come in.

    again, no one is perfect, pregnant women are gonna do whatever the hell they please, but i agree that it's not really an excuse to go "crazy" IMHO

    If you are talking about the standard 8 X 8 pan, I haven't done that in decades.. but yep, I could did eat a whole plan of brownies one particularly dismal saturday about a year after I graduated from college. With vanilla ice cream.

    Work up with hangover like symptoms and have not done it since.

    Maybe not a whole tray of brownies, but maybe a whole pizza! Or a whole container of ice cream! Or all the cookies in the box! But thank goodness, it was not today! However, we have all been there! Don't beat yourself up!
