The question arises as I'm working from home this week. I reckon I'll have put on two stone by the end of the week if i carry on at this rate!
Stuff that really is too risky to keep a stock of, as you won't stop nipping to the fridge/cupboard if you know its in the house?
1. Pack of 5 large linconshire sausage rolls from the bakery - history already I'm afraid
2. Dairylea dunkers - I got them in for the kids. Honest guv. Their days are numbered
3. Made the mistake of buying a 26 pack of assorted flavours of crisps. So you have to make a serious impact on them before you noticed you've eaten any. Mmmmmmmmmmmm Worcester sauce flavour
Whats yours then you fat biffers? And don't give me your stuffed vine leaves/olives nonsense. Fess up! The crapper the better.
BURP!
I used to buy this swiss roll cake from the corner shop where I used to live. It was about 18" long, and pretty cheap and crappy, but I seriously could not physically stop myself eating basically the whole thing in an evening. Frightening!
pies from morrisons
jammy dodgers
ice cream
and olives - seriously, i cant leave them alone!
Tesco do an own brand chunky choc chip cookie that are called 'danger biscuits' in our house!
chocolate digestive biscuits (esp. the caramel ones) and a cup of tea! thats my dinner sorted if I have them in!
Figs.
Doing the shopping for the works bar at a cash and carry. REALLY bad news especially if sharing the task with another stupid and childish glutton:
1 x mahoosive box of 'flying saucer' sherbet sweets. 750 of them. I was begging people to take them from my office.
1 x case of creme eggs. 48 of them gone in less than a week.
1 x case of Tunnock's Tea Cakes. Quicker than the creme eggs.
The above was not all in the same week and it was years ago.
Chorley Cake 5 pack
Jammy Dodgers - family pack
Donuts bags of 10
all above plus cups of tea - mega danger!
PRINGLES!!!!
it starts of as starchey salty loveliness - then after the third tube the stomach cramps begin...
bourbon creams.
Angel Slices
If it isn't by the case, you're in the little leagues!
Tunnocks caramel thingys
Cheese
Wotsits multipacks
Gu Millionares flapjacks
Jaffa Cakes
No matter what size packet they come in, once opened they don't stand a chance.
coke, going through a big bottle a day !
Anything sweet or alcoholic.
I've watched soma_rich demolish a family size tiramisu in 3 minutes...
Dry roasted nuts.
Kingtut - good call. Same here. They could make packets of peanuts the size of double duvet covers and I'd still finish them once I'd opened them
my wife has banned any snack food from being in the house.
crisps
biscuits
cake
ryvita (?)
Oatcakes
etc
etc
cause she knows it will last less than a day if I find it.
A pack of biscuits last 5 minutes tops.
Monster Munch, Pork Scratchings, Diam bar, Smarties, Dolly Mixture and Toast with Butter butter not margarine or I can't belive its not butter
post ride I reckon I could manage that.I've watched soma_rich demolish a family size tiramisu in 3 minutes...
Corner shop used to do "Bobby's Cakes", they did a fruit cake about the size of a bin lid, could polish that off in one go with 2 enormous mugs of tea after a big ride
Working from home eh? Food stuffs are only part of your problem! Have you got through the wa**ing stage yet?

& Webb, Workng from Home[/url]
Salt and vinegar dry roasted peanuts. 100g bag - gone, straight down. A full 1,000 calories in a matter of minutes.
You lot need to iDTFU.
hmmm, ryvita.
Not so bad on their own but I have to cover them in hummus and pickled onions or mayo and eat about six at a time.
26 packs of crisps? yup, you've eaten about twenty three before you realise.
Pornography
Red wine
A box (24 pack?) of the big cookies from Costco.
Capt John - peanuts would be fine on the iDave diet... 🙂
jahwomble - Member
hmmm, ryvita.
You big girl! Ryvita have no known nutritional value. They are one down from carpet tiles and two down from shredded wheat! You can't bring ryvita into a gluttony fight!
KINGTUT looks good on his dry roasted peanuts - especially if it was him I saw near Abbots Leigh all in black on Saturday afternoon.
*swoon*
Oh and eggs, bought a big carton of eggs on friday and have eaten mountains of french toast with bacon and maple syrup since, whoops.

It was 8)
Were you lurking in the bushes?
[i]"You big girl! Ryvita have no known nutritional value. They are one down from carpet tiles and two down from shredded wheat! You can't bring ryvita into a gluttony fight!"[/i]
Ah but you see, the ryvita is merely the Mayo delivery system which has to be about an inch thick 🙂
Any sort of cereal, be it corn flakes, special k, bran flakes or crunchie nut cornflakes. Unfortunately they are only sold in large multiples.
Hollands pies.
And dry roasted pea nuts
square salt n vinegar
the packets are so small that i need to have 2 at a time to satisfy. Then by the time i finish the two packets i decide to have another couple as they are just wee small bags then once im in the middle of eating them i'm getting the last two bags out as well because i've already been a greedy bastard and eaten 4 packets of them i may as well finish them off.
Were you lurking in the bushes?
No - driving past trying not to touch myself. We had been to the middle class delight that is baby swimming lessons. I recognized the bike then the thighs.
What is it that makes people carry on eating, even when they know their full?
Depression
I used to be a habitual muncher
Doritos, the 240gram "sharing" bag and a jar of dip.
Never lasted more than an hour once opened about 1300 calories I reckon
Cheeslets, regardless of the size of bag pretty much always finished in one sitting
Rationale was simple - five minutes into muching "Oh look I barely eaten any" Half an hour later "Well they are nearly finished now!"
iDave diet plan now though, so houmus and carrots!
What is it that makes people carry on eating, even when they know their full?
Deliciousness. The pleasure of tasting something lovely in your mouth. Do you not get this?
And in any case 'full' is a fluid concept. If I ate till I was really stuffed and could eat no more each time, I'd be gigantic.
I'm completely unable to stop eating choclate digestives.
Also, I've been known to call a giant grab-bag of twiglets and pot of houmous "supper". I'm not proud of this. 🙂
Greed and the fact that carbs/sugar trigger a seratonin release.
Crisp is my only real downfall when I go shopping I look at all the pork pies, sausage rolls, biscuits but I can resist them but down the crisp isle something always goes in 🙁
Why is everything thats nice is bad for you 😕

Yeh, especially if theres some flap jack knocking about or some decent biscuits/cakes.
Just seems strange that you know your full/or that the food your eating is not going to do you any good whatsoever, yet you carry on eating.
But like I say, there's degrees of full, isn't there?
Its a survival response from when we swung from the trees in Olduvia gorge..
The calories are better inside us then potentially rotting on the ground or being stolen by the neighbourhood sabre tooth chickens..
We didnt know when the next meal was coming so it made sense to gorge while there was a glut...
No trees in the Olduvai gorge. We were plains animals walking upright 🙂
What about the sabre tooth chickens?
Anything, literally anything that you can take out of the cupboard/fridge/freezer and eat, and i'll finish the lot on the day i buy it.
Yoghurts, crips, ice-creams, chocolate bars, biscuits, those oatmeal things, any sugary cereal (esp the white cholate and raspberry one from sainsburys), cream cakes, donuts, malt loaf, cycling energy bars, beer, wine, lemnonade etc etc..
i must only stock food that requires preparation! i never feel full.
The worst things is "pre-justification" by saying to myself, its ok, i'll cycle it off tomorrow, then it'll rain or some other minor excuse and i won't ride.
Chocolate digestives - like crack cocaine.
But I'm terrible for eating all sorts of sweet stuff. If I carry on like this, I'll have no teeth left in my head and will be blind with diabtets.
Hence, I started a diet today...
I feel humbled to be in the presence of such greedy greatness. The best I can offer is once a bag of Tangfastics is opened they must be eaten. Trouble is, mostly this seems to happen at night, so even 3am comes and goes without sleep troubling my head....
I thought I read somewhere there was a milk shake type thing sold by one of the burger 'restaurants' that was 2000 calories a pop. So a multiple of one would do it!
edit: ah yes, here it is:

Never go shopping hungry...
Hungry and about to go shopping...
Ritz crackers and Philadelhia -light if it makes a difference.
I don't trust myself with sausage rolls or Pringles...
So will buy fruit and bananas 🙂
How the hell can you eat 3 tubes of Pringles???
As others have said, Jaffa Cakes. Never buy just one pack, you need a second pack to distract everyone else whilst you trough the first one.
I used to get catering packs of Haribo from a cash & carry. Fatal. Maltesers also.
A favourite hangover cure used to be a Jamaican Ginger Cake. I'd sit there and eat it straight from the wrapper like a Mars bar.
Mars Bars.
At college, after lunch (large chips and curry from the chippie typically) I'd sometimes raid the supermarket for dessert. Common choices included a whole family sized lemon meringue pie, a triple pack of Fox's Crunch Creams (split half with a mate) (sometimes), or a three-pack of Cadbury's Caramels.
I'm now 38, 5'10" and around 11 stone. No, I'm not quite sure how, either.
+1 Jaffa Cakes
malt loaf
pork pies
tubes of primula cheese (sucked straight from the tube - but none of that prawn flavoured sh!te; plain or "with chives" only) nomnomnomnom
McVities Digestives (large packet) and a big mug of tea.
Big tub of olives.
Flying saucers.
Cashews or pistachios are pretty bad, but KP chilli nuts are more moreish than crack.
And to add insult to injury they make your ring sting BAD.
Nuts now banned from house and I'm half a stone lighter!
Frazzles
Tangfastics
Ben & Jerry's Choc macademia or Fudge brownie ice cream
Melton Mobray Pork Pies
Jaffa Cakes
Brownie bites from the supermarket
plain choc chip cookies
Salt & vinegar sticks
Wispa's
All seem to just evaporate as soon as they enter the house.
Leftover chinese/curry/spag bol. I can't help going back for "just a little bit more".
Digestives.
Hobnobs (especially chocolate ones).
Golden Crunch.
Bourbons.
Mini pasties.
And surprisingly, cucumber. Although I do tend to smother it in philadelphia if we have any, so probably not that healthy.
Our local farmshop does a 1.3kg bag of broken biscuits. £3. And they are top quality, lots of chocs and creams. I hope it's a one off job lot as their sell by date is end August. We bought them as they were cheap but at the rate they get eaten we are spending a lot of money on biscuits.
What is it that makes people carry on eating, even when they know their full?
By an extraordinary stroke of luck, evolution has provided me with an entirely separate cake stomach. No matter how much I've eaten, there is always room for pudding 😛 Sadly for me, my work has a free canteen, and the 3 cakes a day diet is not consistent with happy cycling 🙁
For me it's definitely Tunnocks teacakes. Box of 10, gone in a matter of minutes 😳 I've had to stop buying them because it's physically impossible to have them in the house for longer than the time it takes to stuff them in my gob.
Cheesy Doritos in a bowl layered with mature cheddar.
45 seconds in the microwave and you have delicious real cheesy doritos.
Can't believe no-one else has mentioned these.
Choccy biscuit cake from the nice coffee place in our local park.
Apart from that, not really interested in unhealthy food (the odd curry and pizza but that's it) - wife cooks lovely food that's all good for us.
But exercising a lot means I can drink beer without feeling too bad!
Try being hungry and shopping at a cash and carry!!! I have to be 'accompanied' now, Haribo by the bucket, Oreos by the box, sitting down to tuck into a'catering pack' of anything on your own is soo wrong but oh soo right at the same time!!
sitting down to tuck into a'catering pack' of anything on your own is soo wrong but oh soo right at the same time!!
Hail! Well met fellow proper catering pack glutton! None of that 'family pack' nonsense with you.
Oh - I once ate the entire McDonalds menu in a night about 20 years ago.
MrsSwadey is away for the week so I'm in charge - she'd arranged a Tesco delivery to arrive the day she left so me and the kids didn't go hungry.
She'd also ordered a few treats as well. First evening saw a tub of Franke and Bennys Chocolate Fudge Brownie disappear. Second night a big pack of Kettle chips. Third night a big pack of peanuts and raisins - some of which were in chocolate.
[adopts irritating Geordie accent] It's night 4 in the Fat Brother house, and the crunchy nut cornflakes are under pressure.......
Swadey -I may be over shortly to join you.
Chocolate coated raisins only last a few minutes in the bunnyhop household even at catering pack size.
We can't buy jaffa cakes, dark chocolate digestives, anything made by Tunnocks or pringles. It would all disappear within an hour.
The guilty eating pleasures of single people who work at home shouldn't be divulged.
Anything mini sized, especially Thorntons mini caramel shortcake
Tootie Frooties
Bourbon biscuits
Blueberries
Not exactly bulk packed, but things that once opened, dont get stored anywhere other than my stomach.... or in "his hollow legs" as everyone suggests without realising how agonisingly predicatable they've become
Sainsburys fig roll biscuits. Whole pack is devoured within 1.5 minutes of opening everytime, usually at work whilst someone looks on in semi disgust.
Mars milk drink in 1 litre cartons, down in one.
Cheapo sinew, eyeball, and sphincter meat sausage rolls, pack of 8 with half bottle of HP sauce on.... Mmmmm
Have a serious weakness for biscuits, once they're open they're gone. Fox's are a particular favourite. Cup of tea is a great excuse for even more biscuits.
Pretty much anything fried and 'packaged in a protective atmosphere' -crisps, scratchings etc. Mrs Ambrose tries to hide them... Pickled Eggs- I've got a production line going now, alongside the homebrew.
And cheese. And Salami, and decent bread.
I'm off for a bite to eat
God I'm hungry after reading all that! I clearly haven't been gorging in the way I should have been. Lots of the above will be on my shopping list tomorrow.
Beer or Cider. If I buy it, I drink it. It doesn't keep. Even in tins. Kept in the freezer. It just doesn't keep.
Milka chocolate in them big bars you can get from home bargains for £1.27. I refuse to buy the stuff now as I can nail a whole bar in one sitting.
I generally eat a very healthy and balanced diet.
But Whittakers Ghana Peppermint choc is like crack cocaine in our house. I inadvertently ate a whole bar the other night in a single sitting. Appaling. We've had to ban it because its like one massive After Eight in a bar and you just can't leave it !!
Jaffa cakes
Red Wine (I never buy boxes as 3 litres only lasts a few days 😳 )
Pistachio nuts (sp!)
'Posh' bacon
White bread with real butter and pigs' toenail ham. Gone in 30 seconds.
How amusing that this thread is triggering an ad for [url= http://www.thedietsolutionprogram.com/burnfatg.aspx ]this[/url] up there top right.
Biscuits, sweets and cakes are all doomed around me, but I'm glad to see I'm not the only fat ba$tard trawling the pages here 🙂
Also Peanut butter and jam on toast, I hate the american's for claiming this excellent invention!
Red Wine (I never buy boxes as 3 litres only lasts a few days )
Yeah. I once started buying box wine rather than bottles so that I could have "a glass" of wine rather than a whole bottle. I found the flaw in that particular train of logic the hard way.
Waking up in the armchair at about 5am, lying with my back on the seat, my legs slung over the back of the chair and my head dangling off into space, I felt was nature's way of saying "stop buying wine in boxes."
