    It was never about what I ate but how much... And I ate too much...

    One weekend - Friday night to Sunday noon

    1. One frozen chocolate cream pie
    2. One frozen Pepperidge Cake

    Plus other normal meals including two meals out with fried foods. I don't want to think about the calories of this weekend, but I know I was eating, sickened by what I was doing and continued to eat. Ick.

    I could easily put away the entire $10.00 dinner box from Pizza Hut - pizza, cheese sticks with marinara sauce and cinnamon sticks with icing. I've never looked up the nutrition information, but I'm sure it was around the 2,000 calorie range, if not more. I cringe at the thought lol

    *EDIT - Decided to look up the nutrition count, out of curiosity. 3,945 CALORIES for the whole box! Holy crap :noway: :indifferent: :embarassed:

    I would come home from work and eat a full baguette of French bread (the large, metre long type) with a whole packet of goats cheese and smoked salmon. Easily 1800-2000 calories. Then I would eat dinner with my husband later on as well! I still dream about it, sigh.....

    A full French baguette with 1/3 lb of brie for me, please. And a 4 pack of bakery cupcakes.

    Bags of Miss Vickie's S&V chips, or any S&V or dill pickle chips. I'd go though a full-sized bag on Friday and be looking for another one on Saturday. Usually washed down with something alcoholic.

    Pumpkin pies just for myself. With whipped cream piled high. I confess to buying a Costco-sized one on occassion.

    Hubby and I often split a Costco hotdog and poutine for supper. Even split between us, it was a large amount of calories. But poutine... I've tried the poutine at every place that offers it. And yam fries that were just the vessel for the chipotle mayo.

    I don't have anything to add that hasn't been said already(icecream,mcdonalds,etc) but since I live in ummm, kind of a second world country (not quite third world, but not quite first world), I only have to say a big 'thank you'. There aren't many chain-type restaurants here, and fast food isn't very popular. So while I was reading these answers, I googled stuff that I never heard of and it made me drool all over my keyboard. On one hand it's so sad that I can't try those things and/or have them on a regular basis, on the other hand, that is very very good for me and my weight loss. Thank you again, carry on now :D
    Edited because I'm illiterate.

    Probably one of my worst lunches I would get from a local spot:

    Steak Burrito with rice, grilled veggies, cheese, sour cream and guacamole
    Cup of Chicken Tortilla soup
    Side of Chips with Salsa and Queso.

    Easily a 2000 calorie meal....I look back and just wonder what I was thinking. I still go there but make such smarter choices now and its just as satisfying if not more.

    That sounds SOOOOO good right now. Just leave off the 2K calories...

    Its so good...I wish I could get it and not have the calories count :laugh:

    I was sitting here eating my chicken and veggies dreaming of a big ol burrito. Maybe this weekend I will indulge a little and get myself one. :smile:

    It was before gluten allergy so: safeway donuts, hamburger helper, general tso's chicken. Basically, high calorie crap.

    Why the label? Does that food have no nutritional value (beyond the obvious calories which are themselves beneficial)?

    Fast food binges at least once a week. Too embarrassed to type up specifics but a hideous amount of food, sometimes from more than one place for a meal. No binges in 6 weeks!! :)

    I use to eat entire cartons of ice cream all by my self in a single night. This was about 1-2 times a week depending on when it was on sale.

    I would eat a ten inch sausage and pepperoni pizza at least twice a week. Now that seems very limiting!

    I once ate two whoppers when I was pregnant. One for me and one for the baby! We shared the French fries though :)

    half a bag of chips (cheetos or kettle chips) and a doughnut for a snack! This would happen a few times a week.

    Oh God this is embarrassing. A 10 pack of Tim-bits from Tim Hortons every work day. Every. Single. Work day. So good and convenient on my long drive to work where I sit all day. Hence why I'm here now.

    Tim Bits are the bomb-diggity though.
    I really don't blame you haha

    I went to a party last weekend and someone brought Tim Hortons doughnuts and Tim Bits and it was the most tempting thing of life.

    I was always a two-meal per meal kind of girl. When I was 10 (yes, ten years old) I would go to town with a friend on Sunday, get a hamburger and fries from McDonalds, then go home, pretend I hadn't eaten, and have a full roast dinner with trimmings and dessert. When I got to sixth form my friends and I would order Domino's pizza to the school (always large, of course), or go to the McDonald's drive-thru, which I'd have on top of whatever lunch my mum packed for me.

    We also had a vending machine at school, so I would just buy bags and bags of sweets and crisps and stuff my face on top of whatever else I was eating (sour skittles, Walker's cheese and onion crisps, crispy M&Ms.) My ultimate weakness is the KitKat Peanut Butter Chunky. I could eat three in a sitting without thinking! My mum bought me one the other day and I gave it to a charity food collection. How times change.

    As a kid I always pinched food (crisps and chocolate, sometimes sweets. Oh man, sherbet!) from the kitchen and lied about it. I got a terrible reputation, my parents wouldn't believe a word I said until I was about thirteen.

    Oh, and I would get a packet of mini caramel shortbreads from Thornton's, and eat the entire packet (860 calories in one sitting. Ouch). They were so delicious though!

    I'm surprised I wasn't bigger to be honest! It's strange to think that I'm currently very nervous looking at the volume of chocolate mum's bought me for Easter. I never really treated myself after I finished dieting, so I guess this is my time!

    Whole cakes in a day, usually lemon drizzle or coffee and walnut. I can't believe I used to eat like that.

    When I was as skinny as a rake and running a lot, my husband and I would eat two croissants each, filled with sautéed mushrooms (in butter), that had been tossed in sour cream and Worcester sauce when cooked. I never calculated the calories in that meal. He stayed skinny, I got fat after menopause and two broken ankles.

    Cheese, lots of it.
    Wine, lots of it.
    Crunchy, salty snacks of any kind, lots of them.

    Did I mention cheese?

    Every single Sunday I would eat an entire large pizza and an entire order of cheesy bread with a 1 liter Mtn Dew Code Red. That's at least 3700 calories in one sitting. It takes me almost 3 days to eat that much now.

    Oh I forgot to add from my earlier post... I would eat an entire bag of Cheetos (the big bag ) with a large container of sour cream that had fresh dill mixed in... This was one sitting. Can't believe I could hold all of that. I don't even want to know how much fat that was. Over 50 lbs ago.. Thank God..

    I went for awhile where I was eating haagen daz pretty much every day. And baking peanut butter cookies and finishing them off with a gallon of milk. Not huge amounts, but enough that I gained about 10lbs in month and a half. The peanut butter cookies I justified by the fact I was completely broke and flour and sugar are cheap. Milk wasn't so cheap, but apparently I didn't let that stop me.

    I have to ask though with some of the portion sizes I've seen. How did you get to the point where you thought this was 'ok', or a normal amount to eat for satiety or nutrition?

    And how does anyone afford all this food? I always hear people say that eating healthy is more expensive, but I started to gain weight when I had more money to spend on food. $10, hell even $5 on meal would have been unthinkable before a few years ago. Even now that I have more discretionary income I still get guilty when I eat out and spend money on food that isn't fruit/veggies.

    One of my first jobs was at a movie theatre. My weakness was...and still is...popcorn! I'd have a small bag on my break and a big one when we got to stay late and screen movies. A large WITHOUT 'butter' is nearly 1,100 calories! And, let's face it, if you're going to have popcorn with your movie you need that glorious imitation butter flavoring layered throughout the whole bag.

    I still indulge sometimes, but stick to a small bag now.

    Off the top of my head...

    2 chipotle burritos
    or
    a whole bag of potato chips
    or
    3+ cans of Chef Boyardee Spaghetti (wtf did I love so much about Chef Boyardee?)
    or
    about $20 worth of McDonalds

    :frown:

    I used to do the same thing!

    Mom: "Have you eaten?"

    Me with a fully belly: "No..."

    Mom proceeds to make a huge dinner under the assumption that I was starving. I eat it and probably take seconds. Sigh!
