    At my "heaviest" I still only weighed 110 pounds (except for when pregnant). I was eating on average 2500 to 3000 calories a day. I was eating healthy, but lots of it and lots of treats and was still active, but not always training consistently. The eating remained about the same through out my life, it was only my activity level that changed. Although sometimes I would eat more treats and other times did not eat many treats (I sometimes avoided sugar in relation to my pregnancies), but I still enjoyed and loved the food that I ate. Because I am a dancer I've always been very active and was sometimes as active as 6 hours a day (possibly more). Since joining mfp, I eat less 1950 to 2100 on average, and I do less cardio. But, before mfp, I would also have occasional low calorie days (just busy and didn't eat as much). I don't generally have days like that now. I just eat fairly consistently from day to day.

    Honestly... my eating habits when I was at my heaviest weren't terribly different than they are now. I generally ate healthy food, but I ate HUGE portions and snacked too much. Now I eat reasonable portions and I'm much more active.

    At my heaviest, I'm not proud of the fact now (nor was I then) but I was able to eat an entire pizza.. by myself... I would binge eat.. Be out driving and just crave a double cheeseburger or chicken mcnuggets... I'd drink at LEAST a 2 liter of Diet Coke a day, if not more... Definitely wasn't eating healthy... I would also eat a LOT of carbs.. pastas, potatoes, rice, breads...

    I got fat initially from eating out and drinking tons of soda and eating nothing healthy basically. I stayed fat by killing my metabolism with vlcd.

    No breakfast, lunch at work (moderately healthy), and fast food everyday for dinner with lots of snacking...my best friends were breads, pastas, potatoes (any kind), chocolate, ice cream, and soda.

    I ate whatever I wanted, when I wanted, and however much of it I wanted. \
    And it was delicious.

    Sad that I can never have what I want, when I want anymore but it's the price I pay for looking sexy.

    I would have a pot of coffee for breakfast.

    For lunch, there was a restaurant near where I worked that delivered and had the BEST cheese fries I've ever had. It had tons of cheese and bacon on it and was served with a huge side of ranch. I'd have that about 3-4 times a week.

    I was 19 and didn't know how to cook, so dinner was always something like hamburger helper and instant mashed potatoes. No fruit or vegetables, ever.

    I would have fast food for 2 meals per day.
    It's weird to think about now.
