I will be the first to admit it. If i dont want to eat something I have to put it in trash. NOT only in trash but way down deeeeep. Under the gross stuff that smells! I have been known to go back to the garbage pull out the chips on top and eat them....NO WILL POWER!! I say we start a Garbage Pickers support group!! What is your WORST-Weakest moment story?? My little group of MFP friends and I have been talking about this lately and I wanted to know if there are more of us out there....dont lie...you know you have done it.

    I don't think we've progressed to that level of sensible yet. Don't rush.

    I don't have :) I moderate everything so when I am carving for sweet I bake some moderated cake, if I want salty I make something salty :) I don't eat garbage I eat healthy :)

    Suprisingly, a toilet seat isn't as dirty as most people think. It's actually one of the cleanest serfaces in the home.

    TV Remote and Toothbrush are among the dirtiest.. and if you use a public bathroom use the first stall closest to the door, its the cleanest.

    I have never ever picked food out of the garbage on top or otherwise.. I had a co-worker that would do it though, and sometimes it was the food I threw away. :sick:

    I will shamelessly admit I have done this and pass no judgement on people who pass judgement on us because they have never felt the panic of realizing there was some perfectly good food in the trash.
