Recovered From The Klondike Bars

My weight settled back down to 76.6 kg this morning, which isn't bad considering I binged on Thursday, eating a Carls' Jr. Super Star w/ cheese and large fries combo, then half an hour later, 6 Klondike Bars in quick succession. People ask me, "Why 6 of them?" If you can't figure out the obvious answer, take a look at the package <<--.

People also ask why I order the Super Star. Probably because I remember it as the biggest burger (it has two patties), even though the Six-Dollar burger is bigger these days. But I never really liked the Six-Dollar burger. It's supposed to be a premium restaurant-quality burger, but it just tastes like two $3 burgers. And of course, there's the double Six-Dollar burger, which for some reason is listed in the nutritional info, but without any data. So, my binge had a listed calorie total = 920 + 620 + 6*250 = 3040 calories. But of course, we know there's more calories than they list in their nutritional table, as Morgan Spurlock showed (analysis showed 10-20% more calories than stated).

What did I really want on this binge? I thought about it as I was driving home, considering a medium thin crust veggie from Round Table Pizza, a carne asada burrito and three rolled tacos from Robertos, or an entire french roll pre-made sub sandwich from the grocery store. I also briefly considered cooking, but I was feeling out-of-sorts, and just wanted immediate comfort food. It was too much trouble to take an extra freeway exit to get the burritos, or order the pizza, so I just went with the Carl's Jr. drive-thru near my house, the most convenient option.

Ultimately, the binge wasn't really satisfying, and I could have eaten more after the Klondike Bars. It did settle my stomach though, and I didn't even feel bloated after eating all of it.

I don't consider myself to have an eating disorder. I think it's pretty much natural to occassionally "pig out". Remember when we used this simple language, instead of the victim-oriented terms like "eating disorder", "binge", and "filling the void"? Come on, I'm not the one packaging the Klondikes into Multi-Packs, dammit.
