PSA: Do not go grocery shopping when you are starving...

First of all, I'm not fat. (5'11" @ 175 lbs)

It just so happened today that I didn't really eat anything all day at work. And I never eat breakfast either. I came home STARVING, and GF wanted to go grocery shopping and make beef stew.

You know one of those modes where EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD and YOU CRAVE EVERYTHING!?!?!? Yea, that's what happened.

-I bought all the ingredients for my awesome beef stew: hearty chunks of beef, potatoes, celery, carrots, onion, spices, etc.

-I grabbed Utz ridge-cut potato chips.. Mmmm that potatoey smell and taste!

-I never eat this, but for some reason, the yogurt with Oreo crumbs were SCREAMING at me. It was on sale 10 for $6. I grabbed them all (GF eats them anyway).

-ICE CREAM NICE CHOCOLATEY PLAIN RICH CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM. +Quart

-WTF, that sweet warm aroma of a bakery. That fucking cherry pie was on sale for $3.99. Motherfucker, fuck you, I'll buy it.

I like cooking and quite adept at it. I cooked that bitch stew up in record time. It was thick, warm, hearty, and melted in my mouth. I took 3 helpings. Then I finished the whole bag of potato chips (not the snack-size, and bigger than 99c bag too).

CHERRY PIE TIME I grabbed a slice that actually makes up two. Then I got three scoops of chocolate ice cream.......

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

YEAH YOGURT TIME!!! OREO CRUMBS!

GF is passed out now. My stomach doesn't hurt, but it feels sooo bloated and tight.

I consumed about 3000-4000 calories easy.

That's the same advice my mom gave me while I was growing up 😱.

EDIT:

And I have ignored it on a few occasions to only show why she was correct 😛.

Yea. EVERYTHING WAS SCREAMING AT ME.

I was THIS close to buying this super delicious looking dark-rye baguette. It was hard, crusty, and probably very chewy inside. My mouth was watering and I wanted to pair it with some cheese.

I was going for it, then GF slapped my hand.
 
It's very dangerous to walk into a grocery store when hungry. That's still no excuse for making a pig of yourself at home. You could have bought all that stuff and made it last for a week rather than powering through half of it in a single day.
 
Me and My roommate in college once went to Sam's club. After the obligatory eating of some delicious free samples, we went on to buy on top of normal groceries we needed, a Gross (144) chicken chimichungas and over 40lbs of different sausage.

We weren't allowed to go grocery shopping together ever again.

At least we passed up the frozen mini creme puffs.
 
Been there, done that.

Shopping while hungry and buying some random stuff, I mean. I suck at cooking and I'm single so the rest doesn't apply.
 
The worst is if it is a nice day out too. Then you buy a bunch of stuff to grill and half goes bad by the time you can cook it all.
 
Why don't you try getting some self-control instead? I shop while hungry most every time, and very rarely buy anything I don't intend to*



*and no, I don't "intend" to buy a ton of junk food.

If you shop while hungry you pick up everything you could possibly want when you are hungry. The next time you are sitting around hungry wondering what to eat, every possible thing you could want is in your kitchen.

Sounds like a good deal to me.
 
Even going our for dinner whilst starving can create problems...Yes waiter, I'll have one of everything please....and a diet coke.
