    HA HA HA Do we really even want to go here?

    I can SO easily eat an entire box of Wheat Thins, Wheatables, Whale crackers, or pretty much anything similar in one sitting! And there have been many times I would buy a box with the intention of doing just so. I dont keep these types of crackers in the house any more for this very reason.

    Another bad one - from when I was near my highest weight - a 20 oz coke and a giant frosted honey bun for breakfast! OH EM GEE!
  • I used to order a a medium pizza with quadruple cheese several times a week and eat the entire thing in one sitting. :sick:

    I had 2 that were very bad. Very bad indeed.

    1: Nutella. Eating it out the jar with a spoon, like the ENTIRE JAR! I do still eat it but 1 spoonful and after a hard workout. I aint denying me my Nutella. lol

    2: Cheez It. Holy crap! These should be BANNED!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought a box once and ate them in ONE SITTING! Eek. The thought just bloats me beyond hell. :sick:

    Guilty....I once ate an entire jar of Nutella in one sitting, I can't buy it any more....

    :blushing: I used to be ablet to eat an ENTIRE large quattro fromaggio pizza from Panago...with creamy garlic dipping sauce and would always drink root beer while doing so...I have NO idea how many calories that is and I'm not sure I want to know...wow...seriously cannot believe I used to be able to do that! Pizza, especially CHEESE pizza is my weakness :p

    Live and learn! :laugh: :flowerforyou:

    Everything I ate was bad for you and I ate too much of it !!! I lived to eat ,,,celebrating I ate ! sad I ate ! Now I am eating to live !!!!
  • I have an obessive personality, so I will eat the same thing everyday for a month until I have a craving for something else. Well here is my rotation........

    1) Value size meal(quarter- pounder/ crispy chicken with bacon/McRib/ McAngus with bacon) large sized with a Coke. I could eat 2 a day...:indifferent:

    2) Big bag of sour patches

    3) Seaseme Chicken and fried rice with either birthday cake/ a double doozie cookie/brownies

    4) This is the only meal I could eat on Sunday, unless I went out for brunch with friends::::3 piece fried chicken meal with a double portion of Mac and Cheese from Publix with a 12 hawiian rolls plus orang juice and bottle of champagne:blushing:

    5) When I wanted pizza Domino's when they had the two small garlic bread pizzas, I forgot the actual name. I would eat both pizzas with an order of cinnamon sticks with extra icing.

    6) nachos with ground beef, extra sour cream and extra cheese with a Large soda/ Margaritas/Patron and Orange juice:noway:

    When I used to go out on the weekend to party with friends, I would always hit McDonald's drive thru afterwards see #1 for meal descriptions!!!

    It's weird to think about how bad I used to eat without a second thought. Now I watch what I eat and fast food is just out of the question! It would feel horrible to have to log it into my diary! (x

    Oh lord Bread bread bread.... did I mention bread? I love bread but I've only had it once in a long while and even then its usually whole wheat. pastries were my other one. I would go to the grocery store after a particularly difficult day at work and eat an entire container of bite size cherry or apple turnovers in the entire five minute drive home. Chips and salsa are still my weakness but I just don't go near it except when someone is having a party and then I take a single serving and a really big glass of water to help me feel full.
  • Giant Dunkin Donuts Everything Bagel, 2 containers of cream cheese (full fat), a large coffee with cream and extra sugar and 2 bottles of Orange Juice. Bagels are my kryptonite... It's the one food I won't let back into my diet at all. I know I'll never be able to stay away if I have one, even as my cheat meal...

    My "fast food" lunch. I would get so hungry running errands that I would go to the Burger King drive through and order TWO whopper juniors (no cheese or onions ) and a diet coke. I thought I was being good because I didn't get fries..HA. Then I would go food shopping!

    Cake, sheet cakes we would get for the kids birthday parties. I would have left overs for breakfast, lunch and supper, until it was gone! :blushing:

    Oh yeah, the good old days....now for birthdays for my little family of 3 I buy just 3 specialty cupcakes so there are no leftovers....And the chips, I could sit and eat a big bag of chips in front of the TV a couple nights a week....still can't have these in the house:devil: they're EVIL!

    Food is an obcession for me. I. LOVE. TO. EAT. Even still while trying so hard on MFP, I struggle. Every single day is a struggle. Lots of times I am miserable because I want to eat and I am trying to learn better habits. I feel like a junkie without a fix. I don't smoke, I rarely drink, I dont do drugs, but I am ADDICTED to food. Healthy food, unhealthy food...it doesnt matter. I want it all. Ugh. I dont know if it will ever get better. I have weighed 150 at my lowest adult weight and 426 at my highest weight. Right now I am 250. I would love to be under 200 pounds, and maybe someday I will but right now I feel like a failure. It is ALL about food for me. Damn. Sounds really sad, but it is true. Every day that I stick to my calorie limit is an unbelievable victory for me and it is H A R D to do. ugh. :sad:

    Portion control was a major issue for me. I remember eating a tub of Drumstick Ice Cream in one day. I love all kinds of food and I would just eat too much of everything!!

    McDonald's and Burger King were staples during the week for me. I could go to Burger King and order the sausage egg and cheese croissant combo (hash browns and sweet tea) AND order an additional croissant. I could easily eat them both on my drive to work. I would get sick to my stomach every single time yet still continue to order the same thing. I could also go to McDonald's and order the bacon egg and cheese biscuit combo (hash browns and sweet tea) AND order an additonal bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. Again, eaten with no problem. I could also easily go to McDonald's and order (and eat) a LARGE quarter pounder with cheese combo AND a McChicken or McDouble from the Dollar Menu and eat it in one sitting without breaking a sweat. On some occasions I would even include 2 apple pies with that! I get sick just thinking about all that food! :sick: :embarassed:

    Oh, god, can't believe I'm admitting this.......
    I ate spoonfuls of peanutbutter with sugar, yes, sugar on top, kind of a 50/50 mix, ugh!

    My sister used to do that too! I never found the appeal.

    I would eat cereal...I could eat about 2 or 3 huge bowls at a time, and like the worst cereal ever!

    Phantom Calories (I learned that term here LOL!).

    You name it, I could rationalize it. That one doughnut or candy bar isn't hurting anyone is it? Do that 5 times in a week and see what your net calories are. LOL!

    Take out and eating out! That is the biggest change I have made. We hardly do it anymore, which is a good thing and a bad thing with 4 kids...lol. Also, Double decker peanutbutter & jelly sandwiches......I bet if i figured out the calories for that it would be well over 600.

    There are several bad habits that got me where I was at, eating a whole bag of chocolate covered raisins, being able to eat a whole pizza, when we'd go to Texas Roadhouse or someplace that had the bread with honey butter, filling up on that or eating a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. My big problem has always been portion control of anything I liked.

    I use to eat 20 buffalo wings from buffalo wild wings and then two orders of fries with cheese on them. I'm slowly cutting down on my food size and eating better but I still get those 900 meal lunches:embarassed:


    That or get a healthy choice lunch that's steam-able for work and pour half a bottle of soy sauce on it.:embarassed:

    I used to work at BWW...So I feel your BWW food pains.

    Mine is also similar, I used to be able to eat 12 wings, plus a large chips and cheese (extra cheese), then usually follow it with an order of mozzarella sticks....dunked in spicy garlic...

    Needless to say, no more...

    I would eat lunch at one restaurant and on my way BACK to the office, stop at another restaurant to get a "snack"!

    Also, I would go to Chipotle and eat an entire Veggie Burrito, loaded, plus a bag of chips and salsa! (Chips have 500 cals alone!)

    Halloween time....I could eat about 15 fun size candy of any flavor!!!

    Wow...there are so many more! I better stop now:noway:
