Have you ever finished off a whole box of sweets in one sitting? If so, why?

Asked by prolificus (6583points) April 21st, 2010

I can think of one specific occasion when I ate a whole box of chocolate covered mini-donuts. I was in my young twenties, attending college. Some random professor did something to really tick me off, so I went home, crawled on top my bed, set the box of donuts on my stomach, and popped in my mouth one donut after the other every time I thought about how mad I was at the professor. Before I knew it, the box was empty.

Have you ever used food as a way to deal with or to suppress strong emotions? Or, out of boredom or depression? Substitution for another craving (i.e. sex)?

How frequently do you do this and does it make you feel better or worse?

I’m asking this as I’m finishing off a bag of Pepperidge Farm Milano Orange cookies…
