You could probably boil that and make some kind of porridge.

I mean, I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure you can survive without eating anything at all for quite a while if you're fat. Water's always gonna be a bigger problem, especially if the area is irradiated.

It takes about 500-800 calories per day to survive with weight loss up to 5 pounds a week. You'll survive easily for the intended 2 weeks as long as you don't really do anything, but you'll be pretty drat uncomfortable for the whole thing and you won't be feeling too great when it comes to surviving the post-apocalyptic wasteland right after.

A 2009 review in “Archiv Fur Kriminologie” reports that humans can generally survive with no food or drink for eight to 21 days and may be able to survive without food, if they have water, for up to two months.
So, yeah. Quite a while.
