Greed has made me ill, serves me right!

I bought three Cadbury's Creme Egg Twister bars on Monday as a treat when I went shopping, these should have lasted me three weeks as I normally have a little treat once a week. Only for some reason I have eaten all three, all at night, all with a cup of hot chocolate.
I suffer with IBS, caused through a traumatic pregnancy and 2 years of stress and so I know that I have many many foods I cannot eat a lot of, I know that I cannot stomach food late at night and I know that I should not have eaten so much rich chocolate in such a short space of time. So why did I do it, because greed got the better of me that's why!
Well now I am paying for it, I developed stomach ache last night, I weighed 10lbs heavier this morning. Yes I did say 10lbs, I still fit in my clothes but I am severly bloated, dehydrating and at one point I went so tired that I dozed off at my computer. All because I have overdosed on sugar, when I have too much of one thing, one of the effects I get is that I start to slur my words and I can hardly keep my eyes open, it is like I have taken drugs or had too much too drink. It is not a nice feeling at all and I will be like this for days now! The last time I did this was when I overdosed on bacon, and I fell asleep in the bath.
That will teach me for being a greedy moo. You are all quite welcome to tell me so as well!
So, no more late night choccy treats for me.
Have you ever been really greedy with something and eaten too much of it?
Have you ever made yourself ill through being greedy?

Awww poor gemini - I don't think you were very greedy and it is awful that you are suffering that way! i wish my other half could be like that though - he could quite happily eat 10-12 packs of crisps in one sittings and has ate a whole tin (you know the big ones you get at Christmas) in one evening and still eat huge dinners! I am lucky in that my appetite isn't usually very big and I can't tend to overdo it as when I have had enough I can't force myself to eat more! xxx

I cannot eat a lot, because I go through stages where everything I eat makes me ill. When I get it really bad like this I have to stop eating for a day or two until the belly ache stops, so since yesterday I have only been able to eat a couple of apples!

Well Rose im sorry to hear that your indulgences have made you feel poorly.Maybe after the holiday not living up to expectations you felt a wee bit down,and decided to have a little bit of comfort..as we all tend to do...Im just unnatural here..I can happily eat a bundle of choccy bars with no ill effects whatsover...and also they can be the most sickly ones too...like Mars bars...which most people cant eat one of.But to be that bloated must feel terribly uncomfortable,so im hoping that it doesnt take too long for the effects of the chocolate wear off for you...Hope things get better as the day goes on ....x

wow! I am sure that will now make you more wiser and having self-control about food that you can't take gemini! Anyway, I have experience eating a lot and will end me to the bathroom and sometimes, due to the stomach pain, I will think, maybe I will die already!LOL! Then promise not to do it again but every time delicious food will be served, ohh, I can't stop eating then back to stomach reaction again..LOL!

Oh, poor you, gemini_rose! I can identify with you, because when I crave something I go MAD for it ... whether it's a certain chocolate or a bag of crisps ... and I basically keep eating them until I no longer want them. (Not all in one sitting, but I have to have one every day.) I've never actually made myself sick, but I HAVE been guilty of keeping eating when I know I'm full and I know I should stop. Then I feel fat and 'orrible and disgusted with myself. (And often need an indigestion tablet!)

gosh those are very very strong reactions, I don't think I ever had any of those, except when I eat too much sweets I feel like my throat is tightening up.

I have made myself sick lots of times by being greedy with food. I love Mexican food. there is a restaurant that we truly love to eat at. We live several miles from it now. We still like to get carry out from there though. It is very expensive but it is worth it. We buy the salsa and cheese dip and a dinner from there. I will eat and eat because I love it, and then later on, my stomach hurts. I eat it until it is gone because once I crave it, I cannot stop eating it until it is gone.

Gawd yes, although I have learned much better now. Sometimes I overdo it on the Ice Cream. I am lactose ignorant; which means that I know that dairy products will have my stomach in knots, but I don't care because I love cereal and Ice Cream and milkshakes, although I know I will pay for it later. I don't have as many symptoms as you, poor thing, but its enough having to sit on the toilet all day the next day after being a pig about the cow juice.

Tsk, tsk...naughty, naught. Hehehe. I have to be careful with too much chocolate or sweets in general myself as I have a low blood sugar problem, and even though it's low sugar problems, I still can't indulge too much. But yes, I've been naughty at times and gone over board myself. Once I got one of those Bryer's Ice Cream cakes...they are very, very small actually, so took a bit, and tasted great...it didn't taste too sugary either..don't ask..I wound up eating the whole blasted thing..the next day I woke up and I wanted to die....I felt like I had a major hangover and was a zombie for two days until all that sugar got out of my system

I must say that was alot for you to eat but hey if it makes you feel any better I do it to and pay the price for it especially when I eat those 1/2 pound hershy bars w/ almonds.
Yes I will sit whether here at my computer or while watching t.v and mow the whole thing leaving a tiny little peice at the bottom and yeah I feel aweful after like I know I shouldn't have and end up w/ a headach and an up set stomach oh ya I know the feeling.
The other one that does this to me is too much speghetti or pizza cause of the grease for I have gastritis of the stomach and know I'm not suppose to be haveing as much as I do and I will eat a bunch and pay for it later and it's horrible. Just try to have only a little next time don't get to hard on yourself for your not alone we all do it at one time or another and drink lot's of water to flush your system out. I hope you feel better take care.
