Throughly Annoyed at my Inability to Binge Properly

The only problem I have with this post is that you THREW PERFECTLY GOOD ICE CREAM AWAY???

That, my friend, is heresy.

Reckon they just put it in the bin? Or down the sink?

Putting that much ice cream in the bin is just asking for problems. Leaks etc

I wish this worked for me, but yesterday I ate around 200g of Millionaire's Shortbread spread. With a spoon, from the jar. And last week I ate an entire pack of Oreos. I can still fit a hell of a lot of calories in me, sadly.

To whoever flagged @tincanonastring at to the mods who might be reading this, it's an inside joke, not abuse or spam. It's cool

+1! Made me smile again, @tincanonastring

Oh, and well done OP. I've noticed the same thing - when I think I'm starving and want to eat everything in the house, I actually don't. And it's not because I talk myself out of it, I just eat a little and it's enough - win!

I went on holiday for 3 weeks back in June. I had hit my first goal and was debating about stopping there. But while on holiday, I had decided to eat everything in sight. Whatever I wanted, I was going to have it.

First stop ... Krispie Kreme donuts. In the past, I've polished off half a dozen in one sitting. This time my husband and I ordered half a dozen between us, rather than a dozen. I had one that evening and found it almost icky sweet. Then I had the other two for breakfast the next morning and could hardly get them down.

The eat everything plan wasn't off to a good start ... I could barely manage half what I used to eat!

A little later I got a bag of dill pickle chips ... my favourite. It took me about 3 days to eat those rather than about 30 min. They were just way too salty for me.

And at restaurants I found myself ordering ... salads! And steamed veggies! The horror!! All that food, but all I wanted was a nice little tossed salad.


Oh and poutine was another one. I ordered a large poutine as a side instead of chips with one dinner. And it was quite large. I waded in ... and had to stop halfway and just leave it. Just couldn't do it.

Just posting an odd little ray of sunshine for those of you afraid of backsliding.

I have lost around 50lbs and yesterday in a fit of feeling sorry for myself (I'm stalled, yep I know why) I decided to say "Screw it! I'm eating a tub of ice cream!"

So I went to the store and bough a carton of chocolate chip cookie dough. NOM.

Went home, put on Time Team (I'm a nerd, shaddup) and tucked into my gallon or so of ice cream.

10 spoonfuls in and I was done. Full. Binge done.

WTF? In my hay day I could have polished that thing off but my body would have none of it. It was too sweet and there was too much of it.

I repeat: THERE WAS TOO MUCH ICE CREAM. This is simply unheard of.

So I threw it away. No need to have it sitting in the freezer mocking me.

So here's the lesson guys/gals. Even if you fall of the wagon those good habits you spent months building just don't go away, they are there under the surface waiting to come up again. Here's to hoping I can excavate mine!

You threw it away. You THREW IT AWAY?! At least share with those of us who still know how to binge perfectly fine!

I find this to be true. I have to work to get the healthy habits, and I have to work to lose them. But the last 4 years of not giving a damn proves I am willing to put in the work to forget them when given the chance

I know how you feel. I can't finish a whole pizza anymore ;-(

I feel like I've hit a nerve. I don't usually go around throwing out ice cream, honest! Here's a kid eating ice cream!

I'm still mad at you.
