    I remember going to my favorite Mexican restaurant and ordering a huge super burrito with everything/ including extras on it. On the plate would also be a large amount of beans and rice. I would eat the whole thing! I can't believe I used to eat that much...and that was "normal" for me! Smh

    What I ate yesterday Ruby Tuesday Black and blue prime cheese burger on pretzel bread plus fries 1,600 hundred calories NEVER AGAIN. I almost cried because that's my calorie limit for the day. Thank god I hadn't eaten much and had workout for 3 hours prior so I ended up burning like 900 that day.

    One day my husband and I went to McDonald's for lunch and I remember eating a quarter pounder with cheese combo meal. After that, I decided I was craving seafood so we went to Long John's (just minutes after leaving McDonald's). There I ate 2 pieces of chicken, a piece of fish and 3 shrimp. After Long John's, I was STUFFED! But, I have to have dessert so we went to Dairy Queen where I got a large cookie dough blizzard. I ate it on the way home. Right as I walked through my front door and had approximately 2 bites of ice cream left, I puked all over the floor! Way too much food. And I am totally ashamed that I ever did this. My mind was not in a good place at that time.

    Honestly SEVERAL of my friends eat like this regularly, always have, and are still around the "normal range" weight wise...130-150 lb at age 36. So weird! I always wonder about their health though, over time.

    When I start this I changed to healthy eating and I no longer eat or want fast food. I find it disgusting. Their pink slime. What big business passes off as food is disgusting so I don't and won't eat out. The allowable amount of hair and bugs in processed for makes my skin crawl. I am so glad I eat whole foods.

    I don't demonize food.

    Portion control was an issue in the past, for sure. When I look at the AMOUNT of food/booze I ate/drank in college it's no wonder I gained so much weight back then!

    Used to be a #10 combo at Taco Bell, I don't know what it is now because I don't even go there. It was a Grilled Stuffed Burrito with the side order of nachos and cheese...with a diet coke of course.:noway:

    I was really clueless about a lot of things. I thought a mini or small-sized shake from Sonic was probably a slightly better choice than a chocolate bar. Nope!

    Actually since I've been on MFP I feel like in some ways, even though I eat less, I am more satisfied especially on the occasions that I have a big "treat". I go into it knowing exactly what I'm choosing, and feeling it's worth it. All of the junky, unsatisfying fast food goes unpurchased and uneaten by me, and I load up on pad Thai once a month and feel like it's worth every calorie, fat gram, etc...

    Entire share size bag of Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations. It's 150g which is about 750 cals and 2.5g of salt. I still like the crisps, that's not the issue, it's just that I would eat that as a 'snack' while watching a movie.

    Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations! THey are the bomb.

    Mine isn't a food, it's diet soda. I hardly ever have soda anymore and when I do I can never drink a whole one it's just too sweet now. But now when I indulge it is always real soda not diet. I tasted diet soda the other day and it was gross, I used to not have a problem with it. Guess things change when you step away from it for a while

    I'm with a lot of other posters. There is absolutely nothing that I USED to eat. Now when it comes to portion sizes, that has gone waaayyyy down. But if I really want it, I make it happen. :)
