Embarassing Food Confessions!!

jemko

Reese's peanut butter eggs/pumpkins/christmas trees, etc. Those things are my downfall. I'd buy 3-4 6 packs a week and hide them in my room so my roommate didn't know my shame. I would do the 'eat all of something and replace it before anyone noticed' thing as well. I did so much secret eating it was ridiculous. I still WANT to do that, I'm just fighting the urges now rather than giving in.

One large Papa John’s pizza. I could probably even eat more if the self hate didn't get to me.

THE BOMB (gas station burrito!) if anyone knows what I’m talking about then you'll know how bad that is!

probably about two times a week (mostly the weekends) at night time I could eat 3 microwave corn dogs and 2 microwave burritos (plus dipping sauce. Like: Ranch, Ketchup, fast food dipping sauces) and that was a late night "snack" after dinner! I did this for about 3-5 months!

Thank God I learned about calories!!! I could be huge right now if I kept those habits up!

although i still will eat 4 slices of pizza. 6 if I’m not sober!

Cheez-its, by the box. The Costco-size box.

I one time ate an on-cor family sized meal in a day. it was a poor time for us so in a day i had it for breakfast lunch and dinner.

I am not a big soda drinker but i am a big coffee drinker. so i am probably replacing one with another. two a day usually

pizza and pasta are two big demons for me, it's like once i start it's hard to stop.
oh, and bueno y sano, they make these ginormous burritos and i can eat a "grande"..usually once i eat one, i am done for the rest of the day.

the last fast food job i had i had actually lost 30 lbs, working with the food didn't make me want to eat, so maybe i should get into fast food again..j/k

i probably have a lot more and hate to say that i am such a yo-yo eater. sitting at home i am not as active as i like which is why i signed up for the gym, right now i got a temporary job and i have never been a big eater while working so depending on how busy i am, really affects my eating.

add me people, i will take hints on any tips you have

This whole thread actually makes me feel really relieved. I'm not the only one with such skeletons in my closet.

My big one was was probably the buying two value meals and pretending one was for another person although I'd try an even sneakier route and buy a regular value meal for like me, and then two kids' meals, make sure they came one with a soda and one with milk, and then ask for one to be a girl's toy and the other a boy's. Or I'd go to McDonald's and get like the Southern Style Chicken Sandwich, med fries, a sweet tea, two McChickens and a pack of cookies. I'd also drive around town and go to different fast food places so people wouldn't think of me as a regular.
Baked goods are one of my biggest weaknesses. If someone was having a birthday or gave us something like a cake or pie, it wouldn't last through the night because I would find it. It got to the point that we'd throw away any leftover cake or pie because I'd go in and eat all the rest.

I would go to a drive thru on the way to work and get a meal combo and inhale it between the restaurant and my work, which was only like 5 miles! And then wehn we would order dinner at owrk (night shift) I would order a whole new meal even thought it was only like 2-3 hours later. And then about 2 am I would hit the snack machine. But I only drank water and diet soda so I thought it all evened out! No wonder I was over 300 punds at my highest weight!

LIttle Ceaser's pepperoni pizza..... usually 4 pieces and half the bag of breadsticks.... wow. The calories.......

nikki_1979

When going through the drive through, I would order 2 seperate value meals with 2 different drinks because I didn't want the drive through people to know that I was really ordering 2 hamburgers for myself. Or, I would order the hamburgers different ways (one with no pickles, one with no onions, etc) so they wouldn't think they were both for me.

I can't believe I ever got that bad. Ugh.

So glad I'm not the only person who thought that would work...lol

Fresh Einstein's bagels with cream cheese. 3-4 in a sitting. Betty Crocker Funfetti icing by the spoonful.

When I was a kid, my dad would always give my skinny minny mom a hard time for eating anything unhealthy, so she would hide candy around the house and only eat it when he wasn't looking. My sister and I both kind of picked up this bad habit - we both hide candy from our significant others and sneak-eat it. My hubby caught me with a bag of hershey kisses once...I think he cared more that I was hiding it from him than the fact that I was eating it.

Buying a Cheeseburger and fries from a Coney Island when I work at a produce company. All the fruits and veggies I want just on the other side of a door.

Jennyisbusy

I used to eat the 4 food groups at every meal. soda, salt, savory, sugar - coke, chips, pizza, and brownies would have fit the bill.

btlewis

Wow so funny because I used to do the same thing!

bmqbonnie

My bff and I bought a jar of Nutella and experimented with it like an illicit drug. We tried it on corn dogs. It's pretty good XD

hamncheese67

For 15 years, a pint of Ben and Jerry's was a single serving container.

ahalla

I used to take whipped cream and literally eat it out of the tub like cereal or if I got the can kind I could go through 2 or 3 but just tilting my head back, LOL...man that brings back memories and makes my mouth water.

megz85g

on mondays when all the new weekly magazines come out i would buy them, 2 or 3 chocolate bars, bag of lollies and sometimes chips or pringles, go sit in bed and read them and eat that all. then come dinnertime i would still eat that too.

athenawho

4 months ago I would go to Wendy's and buy 2 of the spicy chicken nugget 5 packs and a Jr Bacon Cheeseburger, then hide the bag under my purse and go to Taco Cabana and get the Steak Fajita Taco Combo with the chips and queso.

I'd eat the burger in my car and when I got home I'd eat the chips and use the left over queso to dip my nuggets and tacos in...



That means I'd eat about 1640 for just one meal!!!!!!


Damn....I never really added it up before.

No wonder I was so big.

earthymom

Saltines with butter.......real butter.
Peanut butter on a spoon dipped in chocolate chips.
Whipped cream....straight from the can into the mouth.

yukimiyazawa

i used to eat an entire large pizza in one sitting.

as a kid, i'd have my mom make me upwards of 5 ham and cheese sandwiches at a time.

sometimes i binge on over 4,000 calories per day. luckily, this is rare for me now.

RubyDarling

Most embarrassing thing: I would eat an entire block of chocolate in the half-hour drive home from work.

Weirdest thing: I would eat a tin of salmon, covered in tomato sauce and sprinkled with sugar.

TexasNurseMom78

I also used to think that if no one saw me eat something, it didnt "count". So I would binge when alone and then eat like a bird when other people were around

longielady

I used to order a large bowl of whipped cream (real, not the fake stuff) for dessert at restaurants. No berries - just whipped cream.

Tabbi_RN

At my worst times (stressed out to the max) id easily eat a whole bag of chips..washed down with a whole container of dip. Still trying to get the emotional eating under control, but atleast the thought of that now makes me cringe.

coatsie79

I used to eat a large bag of Haribo Starmix in one go.

xSophia19

Before i started getting real about weight loss back in january 2011 (when i joined this site) i used to go to macdonalds like twice a month and my order would consist of 3 cheeseburgers, medium fries, vanilla milkshake and a mcflurry!! And that would fill me up ha! I also used to buy tubs of ben and jerrys ice cream and eat it all in one go! I would also munch thro big bars of galaxy chocolate, id munch threw a whole pack of 12 walkers crisps!! Haha, im soo ashamed to be repeating this for everyone to see!

vim_n_vigor

I used to have times where it was almost like a black out and I could not even tell you what I ate unless there were wrappers. I could easily down a couple thousand calories without even noticing when I was upset.

fteale

I like cheese or peanut butter just with butter. No bread or anything. Just a lump of fat!

This....but not just at bad times haha. I could (still) easily eat a bag of Wavy Lays with the thick Ranch dip. Luckily, I don't.
