Your biggest fat secret.

seltzermint555

Without the combination of vaseline and talcum powder life as a morbidly obese is impossible. Thankfully this is no longer the case.

I once weighed 307 lb as a 5'8" woman and have no idea what you would even do with those items.

Oh god when I used to be around 180+lbs I would only wear sweatpants. Literally every day. Jeans were a nightmare and for some reason I thought loose sweatpants made me look thinner when in all reality they made me look homeless.

I used to go by myself to the drive thru and always get 2 drinks so that the cashiers wouldn't think all that food was for me.

I've never done that, but I would say another one of my "fat secrets" is going to 2-3 different fast food places to create the perfect meal. Even if I just got 1 small item at each place I still felt very sheepish about it, and I remember kind of hiding the bag from one place when I'd be in the drive thru of the second or third.

Hail naw, there's no shame in that! You gotta get the pewrfect Concrete Mixer from Culvers, but their burgers aren't the best, so you gotta get a gouble cheese double meat Whataburger. With McDonald's Fries. And you can't get a Baja Blast anywhere other than Taco Bell, so might as well pick up three or four caramel apple empanadas while you're there getting that drink. (Yes, I have done all thins. Still do, just MUCH less frequently!)

lol, I think we like all of the opposite things (hate Culvers custard and only like their burgers, hate Baja Blast & McD fries). BUT come to think of it you are right. Not long ago I had some chicken nuggets from Wendy's and a kids birthday cake shake from Steak N Shake in the same night.

^^And this is why! :sad:

Pretty sure it's to protect and soothe areas prone to chafing. I was never obese, but did have a hefty pair of thunder thighs that chub-rubbed and chafed like nobody's business, I I used those items, especially when wearing skirts.

I would buy 2-3 McChickens and make a Big mac style super McChicken sooo good.

I once ate a 1/2lb block of cheese in the car, on the way home from the supermarket, as if it was an apple (just bit chunks off the block). Then I ate a whole chicken when I got home.

Hahahahaha I love this! I used to eat sticks of salami on the way home from the supermarket!

I suppose this is why I never wore skirts... or shorts for that matter. I am a jeans/slacks 365 days a year kinda girl.

I don't know about you, but thigh rub was awful!! A lot of chafing going on when you are heavier. Those were items I used to help keep the chub rub to a minimum.

I was a secret eater, i guess i thought if no one saw me eat the M&M's it was ok and i wouldn't get fatter...LOL I had a stash of junk hidden in a drawer....

In college I loved Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwiches. I'd leave my dorm almost every night and eat one with fries then go back and hit the cafeteria. Eh, I still have one every now and then. Thank god the nearest Wendy's is 35 min away now and it's limited to "every now and then."

And girl scout cookies.... Oh boy. I thankfully avoided them this year!

My husband could so do the Reese cup box easily though....

I haven't ever concealed/lied about my weight, nor my measurements, nor clothing size, nor calorie consumption, nor about consuming truly enormous quantities of food! But MFP, where no one knows me except online, is the one-and-only arena where I don't feel too ashamed/embarrassed to talk about how hideous my figure has become, post-menopause. People can't tell by looking at me because with clothes on, I don't look grotesque. I don't reveal the sordid details outside of this site!

KameHameHaaaa

I've been morbidly obese my entire life, to the point where my body doesn't really have a "womanly shape" to me anymore. For as long as I can remember I've worn guys clothes (and had short short haircuts) just because I felt like it's what suited me because of my body shape. When I was younger my parents and older relatives/peers thought I was a tomboy, people my age (classmates in karate class, church etc) thought I was gay. The reality of it is I just felt like I didn't deserve to wear anything that hugged my body like a princess when I felt like I looked more like a troll.

If I found a Cheeto in my truck right now...I would eat it happily.

Atrocity108

There is a litter of fast food places on my way to the grocery store. Any time I went shopping, I would either go to McDonalds or Taco Bell, because I had some how earned it (Long day at work, been cleaning all day, my kids had been a nightmare, ect.)

buddha42

I would order takeout and say "we would like".. instead of "i would like" so they didn't know I was ordering enough "food for 4" just for me!

I use to do that one also.

crazie4lulu

You know that BUFFET stands for Big Ugly Fat Friends Eating Together. LOL! I'm just as guilty. I have a long ways to go but I have to stay away from buffets because I still don't have the will power to say NO to eating too much in those situations. I had a weight watchers instructor say to the group that we could go to the buffets, but remember there are 2 choices. One, pay and the counter, or two, pay at the scale when you check in. Your choice. So it's hard to fork out the money for all you can eat and then limit yourself. PS... My favorite fat story is wearing a pair of "spanks", (tight girdle) under a short skirt to a concert at the fair in the HOT summer time and when I had to go to the bathroom and peel that sucker back up, my hands kept breaking free from the material and wacking the metal bathroom wall. I sat and laughed in frustration. I sounded like I was wresting an alligator in there.

I used to take a half gallon carton of OJ to work in the morning and finish it by the end of my shift. This was obviously before I had a proper understanding of how calories worked, but it was FANTASTIC.

Love to read all these responses. Makes me laugh as I think of all the stupid stuff I've done.

OMG, that made me laugh, I'm sorry! I know exactly what you mean, though!!

Being fat made me pee a little when I sneezed. Gross.

I still do this! Bahaha!

I got so big, my feet hurt really badly and I could barely walk. One day after trying to walk one block and nearly bursting into tears, my husband DRAGGED me into a Ross store and bought me some Sketchers Shape Ups and my feet felt amazing! I wound up hunting down and buying 3 more pairs of shoes, including two pairs of sandals for work. They don't make the sandals anymore and I knew I needed to do something or else my feet were going to pay the price.

Also, I used to, (and still do), buy like three or four pairs of the same shirts, pants because it was rare to find something cute in my size.

I have about 6 pairs of shape ups in multiple colors. They're the only shoes I can stand and walk in for long periods of time without being in agony. And I'm not that much overweight.
They've got like 3 inches of padding and arch support.
You lose cushioning in your feet as you get older too.

When I got to my heaviest 280lbs on my way home from work I would get 2 cheeseburgers and large fries. Then eat the big meal my gf had made me. Even now I have the odd binge eating a full pack of biscuits in one go. But I will eat 600 cals the day after which seams to stop the weight gain. It worry's me thou that these sugar binges might trigger diabetes. Need to kick these food binges!

sentaruu

fat or not I will still eat an entire tray of brownies.

Weak. When I was around 16, I downed a box of peanut butter cups in one morning.

Box. Please note weight.

yup. when I was also 16 I would eat a couple of the full sized bags a day.

At my heaviest when I was 17 and 300+ pounds I was kicked off a roller coaster for being so large that the safety latches wouldn't hitch. Totally had to do the walk of shame off the roller coaster while all the other riders watched.

I went and got an ice cream.

Loving this thread... During my junior year of high school I was forced to sell candy bars for some kind of fundraiser. I was supposed to take the candy around to my classes, sell it to my classmates, then give the money I made to the school. I was horribly shy and had a great appetite, so I didn't bother trying to sell the candy. I just ate 10 or so candy bars every day until they were gone. Then I had to beg my mom for 50 bucks to give to the school!

I used to go to this all-you-can-eat pizza place called CiCi's Pizza and eat until I couldn't fit anymore in my stomach. Then, I'd sit there with my plate acting as if I was still eating, but what I was really doing was waiting until my stomach could take more pizza. After going to the crapper I would then get a new plate of fresh pizza and eat more pizza and cinnamon sticks until I couldn't eat anymore. When I would leave I would go and cry in my car with feelings of disgust.

My Friday nights in Minnesota consisted of watching The Swan (tv show where they do extreme makeovers on girls to make them more attractive) while eating my Walmart PowerPak which was a box of walmart fried chicken, XL walmart pizza and a pan of walmart brownies. The good life. Sometimes I'd feel sick after, so I'd soothe it with ice cream.

lol... I liked The Swan. It was kind of a sad train wreck, but I was always amazed they could make people look so different.
