    I still have days where I eat way to much of unhealthy foods, occasionally fast foods and that probably won't change. My every day bad habits have changed for sure. I used to drink way too many of my calories...Pepsi, Hawaiian Punch and juices. Now I barely have any of those. I used to have lunchmeat sandwiches with cheese and tons of mayo almost everyday for lunch. Not anymore. I used to love to make tuna salad or chicken salad with tons of mayo. Potato chips or Doritos was always eaten with this sandwiches, now only occasionally. I used to eat TONS of processed foods...Rice A Roni, Pasta Roni, white bread, frozen pizza etc. Now I eat mostly whole grains. I know I do still eat too much junk on the weekends, but when I think back to how I used to eat on a daily basis for so many years, those bad weekends seem like nothin!

    haha, what a thread! I use to eat an entire big bag of sensations thai sweet chilli crisps to myself. I would feel sick afterwards but I didn't care! I was a total emotional binger. Now I've not touched crisps in over a year! I don't miss it either. So not worth the torture you feel afterwards.

    My husband would go get me 2 krispy kreme custard filled donuts and either a large pumpkin spice cap. or a large wild cherry pepsi fountain drink from our mini mart. I don't even want to think of the cals. And he would get these for me 2-3 times a week around 9pm....wow.

    This is kind of embarrassing but here's a typical day's food diary for me before I smarted up last January:

    Either no breakfast or something horrendous like a chocolate donut, a bagel with butter or huge muffin

    Lunch was a huge sandwich with mayo and cheese along with a bag of chips and a soda.

    Afternoon snack was cookies, chocolate, whatever else I could get my hands on

    On the way home, I might stop at the store for more cookies/candy or go to an ice cream stand

    Dinner tended to be reasonable since I was full from my snacking earlier.

    DH used to ask me why I ate so little since all he witnessed me eating was dinner. Little did he know just how much I'd eaten before then! I finally fessed up to him around the time I started losing weight.

    Eat an entire frozen pizza (Tombstone, Digiorno, Freschetta,etc. etc) late in the evening. I often bought them with the intention of making them one night for dinner, and thus sharing them with my wife and daughter. Quite often they didn't survive a single night in the freezer.

    When Wendy's had good fries (their new ones actually taste gross and I seem to get a lot of black, not burned, ones) I would eat a single 1/4 pounder with cheese meal no problem. After joining this and seeing how many calories that is, I get sick just thinking about how I used to eat that.

    Wendy's!!! Are you ready for this one? I used to order a triple baconator with a large order of fries and a large coke. I think it's like a pound of food all together

    At least 1, if not 2 2liters of Coke, every day. I also loved pb and Mircle Whip sandwhiches (miss them) and about 1/2 container of ice cream for my serving sizes :(

    Cheesecake Factory - crabcake sandwich, thought it was healthy but to the tune of 1157 calories (not including the fries)
    Fridays - Jack Daniels Sampler - 2330 calories (knew this wasn't good but didn't think it was that bad)
    Qdoba Mexican Grill - Chicken Queso Burrito - 970 calories (not that bad but more than half of my calories in one meal)

    I must admit that I still have the Crabcake and burrito but I workout, run and watch my other meals that day....

    Reading all these reminded me of more of my old bad habits. Breakfast used to be Pop Tarts or sugary cereals. I used to drink Starbucks Iced Mochas all of the time, full fat and sugar version. I eventually learned to chill out on those and have skim milk with less syrup when I do have them.
    CHEESE
    I would(and still could) eat so much cheese. Just eating chunks of it alone or with crackers. Cheese and crackers are still a weakness of mine if they are in front of me.

    McDonalds is the bane of my existence!

    Sausage McMuffin with egg meal, with two extra hashbrowns from the dollar menu and a DIET COKE.

    EVERY day on the way to work. That got my day started with 900 calories and 54g of FAT. OMG!!!!!!

    NUTELLA!!! and Peanut butter...I could literally finish entire jars in a day. I would buy crackers or cookies and finish entire packages topping them with either nutella or peanut butter. Can't believe I'm admitting to this, it seems as if I were speaking about someone else.

    I remember one of my worse binges ever was when I stopped by the McDonald's drive thru, bought a Big Mac along with a McFlurry and ate it all in one sitting in the parking lot, hating myself for it.

    Also..ice cream. Cherry Garcia used to be my obsession, I would eat a whole pint by myself, then go off and buy Hershey's Cookies and Cream chocolate bar or twix and M&M's with popcorn

    Condensed milk...I could go through a whole container (and often did) dipping chocolate and cookies in it then finishing it off.

    Caramel as well.

    This is really sad, even reading this I realize what a huge problem I had (and honestly continue to have b/c it's a daily struggle that I have to take day by day) but it's gotten better and I'm achieving my goals slowly but surely. Done hurting my body in such gluttonous and disgusting ways.

    chips and salsa, which I swear I could (still can, even) eat endless chips and salsa.

    If I eat them now it's still very hard to portion control. I have to eat them very, very rarely. ...but that's okay because it really, really feels like a treat when I get to have them now. :)

    So many things! I used to life off of like 40 fun sized snickers, a cheesy bean and rice burrito and a couple tacos and a huge mountain dew from taco bell, and several bowls of golden grahams a day... these were all staples for me. Sick. :sick:

    I pretty much lived on salty carbs for awhile: I loved chips and fries. My fiance and I would always get two large orders of fries almost anytime we went somewhere they were available. Mac and cheese was like my favorite late night snack. I would eat most of a box of mac and cheese all by myself sometimes. Disgusting.
