Binge meals that you used to think was normal

Options
One thing MFP has really done for me is make me look at everything I eat. I am kind of horrified at what I used to eat, and the mental gymnastics I used to do to tell myself it was OK. My best one was that the portions are so small here everyone orders more than the meal.

My regular Mcdonalds was:-

1 Large big mac meal
2 cheese burgers (occasionally would upgrade to double cheese burgers if I was really hungry)
1 Large diet coke
1 Apple pie

In the past I have even occasionally added an extra medium fries as well.........and I wondered how I became fat.

    A bowl of chicken madras, side order of pilau rice,keema naan, poppadoms, lime pickle and two or three ice cold Stella's.

    Now where's the harm in that ? :)

    I used to eat a large dominos pizza with wedges and garlic bread all to myself! Hmmm yeah that might be why I am fat! I still have to monitor myself when I eat pizza to make sure I only have 2-3 slices cause I can get carried away!

    So glad I am not the only one who used to do these things....I am especially guilty of all the meals so far.

    Although remember this is a confessional booth......not Man V Food (food porn) or we're all going to go off the rails!

    A huge 'made for sharing' bag of Doritos all to myself, with a tub of soured cream! :-) Or a six-pack of Wheat Crunchies or Skips, or both, eaten all at once. I can easily eat 12 bags of crisps at a time! I thought other people did that too, but they laughed when I told them I did it, so I'm guessing it's not normal! :-) I'd still do it again though, just not so often, and I'd eat half the bag of Doritos, and only three bags of Wheat Crunchies at a time!

    My favorite thing was to make a box of Pasta Roni and eat it all to myself. My sister and I both did it. God that stuff is so good... I still eat it, but a serving size at a time now haha.

    When I lived in France they had Cream of Onion chips that were delicious, I'd eat a whole bag of those one my own too. Or an entire bar of chocolate in one sitting.

    Ok here goes. When I was pregnant (poor excuse but hey... cravings right?) I would eat a large pepperoni pizza with a tub of Ben & Jerrys Caramel Chew Chew spread on top :embarassed:

    erm steak & chips / ribs &chips

    I guess I never really considered meals in restaurants to have calories and if so not many...who knew steak and chips could have over 1000cals ! think thats were I've gone wrong, underestimated the calories.

    Walkers crisps, 3 or 4 in one seating (small packets!)

    I've never really liked Mcdonalds/Dominos etc, but on the rare occasion we did get Dominos i'd eat half a large pizza and maybe some wedges too.

    Chocolate is more my thing! When I was pregnant I ate an entire large bag of Revels. Now I just avoid chocolate altogether!

    We do, trust me - maybe not the people you told but we're out here.

    That is the hardest thing for me to cut out. I love crisps - a 24 multi pack lasted 2 - 3 days at the max in my house and I live alone ;-?

    yeah when i started doing mfp i was shocked at how much i ate. i used to say to myself why am i fat i dont eat more then other people.

    well just my nightly snacks alone were probably what i eat all day now. 4 glasses milk (600 calories), chocolate candy bars (big size) and popcorn or chips - unlimited. i still have my popcorn, chips, chocolate and milk but limited quanties and not everyday.
