    Homemade chocolate chip cookies. If I made a batch of 24, the first batch of 12 would be gone before the second batch came out of the oven. Needless to say, I don't make them anymore.

    Chocolate cake from cheesecake factory. One slice is over 1300 calories...and it was always my dessert after some other non nutritious food like fries and fried chicken.

    omg, so many to count. i've done the whole pizza thing that was mentioned a bunch of times.
    some of my other "favorites" also:

    - Tortilla chips (whole bag) and tostidos spinach dip (whole thing.) I would literally stick my fingers in and lick them to get every little bit.

    - Drive thru Mcdonalds number 2, followed by drive thru burger king number 1 (eating meal 1 while driving to meal 2)

    - Cook mac and cheese box and eat entire thing out of pot with hot sauce on top

    - ordering chinese food (10 dollar minimum) - so I'd get the sweet and sour chicken and eggroll, and get 2 other egg rolls to make the 10 dollars. then i'd eat the whole thing.

    And that would be one week. The next week I'd try to be "good" to make up for it. Being good lasted a few days. Then it would start all over.

    I used to love Carne asda Fries (french fries, marinated steak, quacamole, cheese) I'd eat 1/2 to 3/4 of the square styrafoam container. Turns out an 1/8th of it was almost my full days calories.

    Same with Apple Crisp with ice cream.

    They don't sound like much of a binge until you look up the calories...little food for ALOT of calories

    I also used to eat 3/4 of a large pizza

    whole think of mac & cheese with chili

    and 32 Oz pepsi's (2) in a day

    It depended on my mood, if I wanted Chinese food, I would get a large chicken fried rice+2 spring/shrimp rolls+an order of sesame chicken with white rice.

    OR

    If it was a pizza evening, I would order from Dominoes and get a medium extra cheese pizza+chicken wings+ an order of cheesy bread+two of those little lava cakes +soda.

    Pasta, garlic bread and wine. Then there was the cookies. I was the cookie monster of the house. There wasn't a cookie I did not like. Favorite candy Reese's peanut butter cup. Now I tell my husband to get tootsie rolls because I hate them. To me that was not chocolate!

    There have been several Sunday's in the past whereby I would have a full English breakfast, a very liquid lunch down the pub, followed by a roast beef dinner, tub of Ben & Jerrys, packet of Bourbon Biscuits with a coffee, maybe a couple of bags of pork scratchings thrown in for good measure.

    I don't think what I've eaten in the last two days, maybe three, would equal the old Sunday session ha ha

    A few years ago when I was much larger I used to think it was normal to go into Cheesecake Factory with my girlfriends order (Potstickers,Avacado Rolls,Cheeseburger with Sweet Potato Fries and tons of Coke and then I would get a pumpkin Cream cheese cake)

    Now I go in and order a small chicken breast and a small side salad with Fat Free Dressing and I will either have Diet Coke or Iced tea or if Im feeling Healthy a glass of water!

    It's amazing how quickly two of us could decimate entire batches of brownies, cookies, or cupcakes.
    Routinely, half of a large pizza along with garlic twists, salad and several beers.
    Gigantic sodas - only an occasional treat for me, but always 64 ounces
    Entire large buckets of popcorn at the movies (still working on this one...)
    But my biggest shock was when I looked up the calories in my standard Taco Bell order. In college I ate Taco Bell four or five times a week. 2300 calories - one meal!

    Pizza. A large Dominoes Brooklyn style to myself basically. Pizza is really hard for me. Carbs and cheese and sauce and oh my. So I don't eat pizza much anymore, or limit myself to one slice.

    Snack days at work, but it's impossible to say how many calories we eat (the department goes nuts), but we eat a lot throughout the day.

    My sister and I used to order Chinese a lot. I can only imagine. Spring rolls and ginger beef, dry garlic ribs, honey garlic pork. Pretty much all the meat was deep fried.

    My family frequented a buffet place a lot when I was in highschool... all the shrimp and perogies and chinese and pizza. Oh my god.

    I haven't eaten McDonald's in a long time, but when I was a teenager my meal was 2 cheeseburgers, medium fry, medium coke (in Canada the medium comes standard), but I know we supersized a lot.

    No wonder I was fat lol.

    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!

    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 ;-?

    Lol - so glad I'm not the only one! :-) I don't think I will ever cut out crisps completely - I love them so much.

    I thought large pizza (takeaway) was single serving size :embarassed: plus sides and full fat coke. Now me and dh share a small sized shop bought one.

    Share bags of crisps were single serving.

    Carverys were a huge weakness for me - I piled my plate mostly of roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese. I went to one yesterday (for my sister in law's birthday) and still ate a lot but fitted it in (mostly cos I fell asleep before my tea due to feeling ill).

    Always went for the extra large meals when out and then had a pudding (usually the most calorific one on the menu).

    I look at the portion sizes I used to eat and can't believe how much I could eat. I don't miss feeling so overstuffed I feel ill.

    This only happened once but I cringe to think of it now, a 12 piece KFC bucket with 4 fries, 1 corn on the cob and 1 gravy tub, I ate it all in one sitting except 2 pieces of chicken and 1 portion of fries that my mother ate. So sickening to think of it, thank God I woke up and sorted myself out or would have been one of those people who had to get a crane to get them out of their house!
