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?

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... 🙂

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?

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.
