    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:

    I used to eat a fourth meal at 11:00 pm. I called it a snack, but if you counted the calories it was a meal. I would also supplement a combo meal at Wendy's with another dollar burger.

    NO portion control AT ALL with Pizza...oh, and diving into (almost literally) a bag of salt and vinegar kettle style chips (again with ZERO portion control).

    I still really can't handle those foods well with portion control so I've kind of stayed away for the most part. I have been at kid events where pizza was only food and I didn't know about it ahead of time (or I would have eaten at home in advance) and I was good about just having one piece...BUT, when I make pizza for kids at home, I just don't even touch it. I don't love it THAT much to lose control with it.

    My taste buds have REALLY become aware of salt now. I cannot stand things salty. But, again, still do NOT really trust myself with these foods!

    The worst thing about going crazytown on salt and vinegar chips in the past...was that I used to literally eat so much at one sitting that my tongue would get really sore from the vinegar/salt...SICK!!!!

    Energy Drinks! 3 or 4 a day, I probably had over 1200 calories a day just in energy drinks. I still have one ever now and then, but like one every few weeks, but I plan for it. Also lots of processed foods and take out because it was more convenient.

    Well! my life is one big food habit LOL for about four years, me and my fella would finish work at about midnight, eat a kebab in bed watching TV and then each eat a 250g bar of chocolate, within 15 minutes we would be asleep! Mentioning this is pretty disgusting! The room would stink of kebab breath in the morning :embarassed:
    Very often I would get up on my days off and go clothes shopping, realise i hadnt had breakfast and go buy a cheeseburger happy meal :-D Then eat at the Toby Cavery with my fella for lunch ... then by midnight i would be hungry again and have either a kebab / indian / chinese take away! So basically eating fast food 3x a day LOL! Not to mention my snacks in between! Chocolate, chocolate and even more chocolate! HAHAHA come to think of it .... I'm surprised i dont weigh more :embarassed:

    Wow, this thread really took off....glad I created it. Have to say, I created it for some fun, but also for us to see how far we have come!! And it's fun to see the "I used to" and "I can't believe I did that" comments. No one says "I still do it". We are all appauled by our old eating habits. Look how far we have come!! So very proud of all of us. We rock!! :tongue: :tongue: :happy:

    I love soft drinks and candy. I gave up soft drinks really easy because I was drinking diet, however candy is another story. I did really well for the first 2 and a half months then all the Easter candy started filling the shelves and my addiction to Starburst jellybeans resurfaced. I also have a passion for gummy bears and things like Bottlecaps, Smarties and Sweet Tarts. YUM.
