How many bowls of cereal can you binge on before it hits you?

Mine is about 4-5.

Oh cereal, why do you have to exist?

before what hits you? the fact that you should stop, or the stomach pain?:P

if im in binge mode, the only time ill realize any of that is once i actually stop from thirst and drink some water....ofcourse that could be 10 bowls in....yikes

uh oh..confessions of a cerealholic here...actually I can eat about twice the "serving" size which isn't all that much...is it? I love cereal!!  I only eat healthy stuff now - Total, Shredded Wheat, Cheerios.  But I love just about any kind!

my weakness is frosted shredded mini wheats and honey nut cheerios. I know when I was at my heaviest I could eat 2 or 3 large bowl fulls.

yeah i would be the same- 4 or 5. i love cereal too much ugh

I.

Love.

Cereal.

Omg, i thought i was the only cereal-crazed person out there.

If im in binge mode, about 3 bowl until i suddenly slap myself and ask wtf am i doing.

But of course then its obviously too late.

=[

Why is it sooo addictive? I love ceral but man I really do wish it did just disappear off the planet.. usually I wont even allow myself to have it in the house only oatmeal.. but im back at home now and it is not an option. I guess I just have to save room for it in my allowance.

Define "bowl."  I used to binge on cereal often, but it was just mindless eating right from the box xD  Wow, the constipation after the high-fiber ones too...

Aarrgh cereal binge. for me it helps to portion it into ziploc bags as soon as I buy it- you're more concious of how much you're eating when you're not absentmindedly shoving handfuls of it into your mouth... lol

you dont have an eating disorder if you have a weakness on a particular food, almost every human has some sort of weakness where they eat to much of something and feel stuffed afterwards, im not a binge eater but i do have a tendency to eat a lot of cereal quickly, its just so good and crunchy and then feel very stuffed afterwards and wished i hadnt eat that much so quick, not guilt or anything just a feeling of like wow i have to remeber to pace it next time, plus thats hard when you have invisalign you pretty much have to "binge" if you want to live haha. Gaining weight after being very thin (still am) was a blast, cereal was my best friend along with silk vanilla.

oh man cereal is my weakness, i looooove the sugary stuff especially like cinnamon toast crunch, cocoa puffs, etc. i could eat 3 huge bowls. Now if i eat cereal i eat kashi go lean and measure out a cup... and i don't put milk in it. for some reason, i can eat cereal in a matter of a minute if theres milk in there.. i guess w/o milk it makes it longer for me to chew/swallow!

Hmm...about 2.

How do I stop?

What I do to start is eat a delicious serving with ice-cold milk and one Splenda packet.  What I USED to do at that point was "shake just a little more in"...oops need more milk...::add milk::, eat, repeat.

NOW:  eat 1 bowl.  Milk left?  Shake more cereal in.  Add water, not milk - if I really really want to (if I'm still legitimately hungry), I can keep eating the milky-water-soggy-cereal combo (lord knows I have).  If I don't keep eating, I know it was a matter of taste making me press on, not hunger.

I really don't even eat cereal now, the serving size is way too small to feed my appetite. Ha Ha.

When I was about 13, I'm 22 now, I had a major cereal obsession. It's really the only thing I ate. I seriously would have about 3-6 bowls every morning (or afternoon depending on when I woke up because I was home schooled. Ha Ha.) The rest of the day I didn't eat much because as you would imagine I was incredibly full. I bet I wasn't getting very many nutrients back then. Heh. :/

When I was really bad at my binge eating I seriously ate a whole box of cereal (dry) in one day. And once a half of a box, also dry, at night! (these both didn't happen on the same day. Lmao.)

I will admit though, cereal is so very awesome. :P

I think the reason people eat so much cereal is it's not very filling as you eat it, because it's so light.  I mean, it's really mainly carbs--most cereals out there have little fiber, protein or fat, which are the key nutrients (at least I've found) to satiation.  I've only binged on cereal once, but I hadn't eaten anything all day, so I just ate cornflakes straight of of the box until...woops it was all gone.  Now I mainly eat FiberOne because it fills me with just one bowl.  Something that helps me just stick to one bowl of cereal is to pour the cereal/milk and then put the cereal and milk away.  THat way they're not just sitting out on the counter tempting me.  Also, as someone else said, if youre going to eat it dry pre-portion it, DON"T eat it out of the box.  

i don't know how many bowls, but i can definitely eat the whole box.

yeah i can deffinentaly eat a whole box and its not even a binge, just because im that hungry sometimes!

The whole box. Or two.

About 3 bowls or 210 grams of Nougat Bits (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2075/228080708 5_544db3ab44.jpg?v=0 ), then I just can't eat more of 'em. xD
