What was the worst "pig out" episode you ever had?

Come on! Fess up! Everybody's done it! You start eating something that you love, healthy or not, (usually not) and you just can't seem to get enough.

I went to my mom's house last night and she wanted me to get something from the kitchen. I opened the cupboard door and lo and behold what do I see but a plastic shopping bag about a third full of those miniature candy bars. Every possible kind you could think of! I asked her where she got them and she said that my brother and his wife found it on sale somewhere so they bought a whole bunch of it and brought some over to her. Then, and yes, I'm blaming her, she said, "Eat all you want. I don't really like candy and if I can't find some kids to give it to it'll just get stale." So I told her I didn't want to take it home, but I would just eat some there because if I took it home I wouldn't stop until it was all gone.

Now, normally I eat healthy and exercise every day. Even though I LOVE sugar, I don't buy junk food and I don't keep it at my house because I can't eat just a moderate amount. When I bust into a bag of candy or a box of cupcakes I don't stop til it's gone so I just stay out of the junk food aisle at the store.

Well, by the time I left her house I ate 25, yes, 25!! miniature candy bars with a couple of glasses of milk. Gluttony plain and simple, but it was absolute heaven!

I feel guilty this morning so I guess I'll spend extra time at the gym.

I can't be the only one this has happened to so help out a fellow DUer and tell about a pig out episode you've had so I can feel less guilty.

A small pepperoni pizza from Round Table, a pint of chocolate raspberry truffle from Baskin Robbins, and a six pack of Coca-Cola. One sitting, of course.

I gained a lot of weight, and probably got most of my stretch marks from this episode.

They had this big "Whole Gang Pizza."

And they had an offer, anyone who ate an entire Whole Gang Pizza by themself, got a second one free.

I got the second one free, and I ate 2 slices from it before taking the rest home.
