Confessions

I have a lot . Just working in the courage to post them.

Me tooooo!!!!!!

A whole box of oreo golden double stuff.

A family size pack of the fun size kit kats, and the Hershey bars. (Did this about two months ago!).

A tub of ben and jerry's.

Pringles. One serving is the whole box, right?

I also used to hide when I was eating. I still do that up to a point.

When I'm drunk, I sneak into the kitchen and eat ice cream outta the carton or massive amounts of cheese nips or chips. lol. Thankfully I only get THAT drunk like once a month. haha :laugh:

I have an obsession with frosting, especially my own home-made stuff. I sometimes make it just so I can eat half of it with a spoon (straight from the bowl), and save the other half for cake or cookies, which I also eat way too much of. I also went through a phase in high school when my friend and I would buy a bag of double-stuffed Oreos and a jar of caramel sundae sauce. We would sit in front of the TV and dip the Oreos in the sauce, one by one, until the entire bag was gone. I also LOVE timbits and could easily eat an entire 20-pack box in one sitting. I have a serious sugar/baked goods addiction...... but I'm working on it.

Doritos....by far a bag of Cool Ranch doesn't stand a chance in my presence. After that I am in love with Boneless wings from BWW and Beer. Not the cheap beer but the good beer, from micro brews and such. Unfortunately it is also the higher calorie beer. There I said it....I have an addiction.

Oh and lets not forget about the all general.....I Love Food!

I love this thread.

I have no self-control, still. I am petite (5'1) and people used to be amazed at the food I could eat. They'd comment on it, they thought it was funny. It really wasn't. I'm better now, but I still struggle with it. My mom brought home a large pizza the other night 'cause Domino's was doing the $$5.99 deal and I literally ate half of the whole thing before she even had 2 slices. I don't know how to stop at one. I used to be the same way with drinking. I would say I would just have one or two drinks but then end up drinking half the bottle, and then of course I'd eat anything and everything in the house. And then I would go 4 or 5 days without eating anything to make up for my binges. When I got drunk enough, I would purge (this didn't happen very often, and I'm ashamed of it, but it did happen). I've told maybe one person that until now.

I don't drink at all anymore and I am working hard to change my eating habits. It's a long road, but I've made progress. I'm proud of myself and my body now, whereas I used to be so ashamed of it.

I see I'm not the only one who polishes off an entire box of macaroni and cheese. OMG, I could eat that every meal, every day.

I also can't stop at just a little bit of ice cream. I've regularly eaten entire pints of Ben & Jerry's. Sometimes I would buy packs of ice cream bars to share with co-workers. "Share" being an overly generous term for letting someone else have one while I eat the rest...

And look how far you have come. Great job!

I can pack nearly a whole medium pizza. I facking love pizza. I try not to order it when I'm stoned anymore. it's the worst.
and Breakfast buffets. or buffets in general. I only eat one plate now, where I used to go up for 3rds, even 4th's !
oh god and chip bags. like big chip bags. I can eat a whole one of regular lays. mm.
ok
obviously i was a fatty xD

I love this thread ~ admitting what we DID and how we have changed/trying to change/ ~ its so motivating
And honestly ~ some of you can pack it away :laugh:

My confessions
* Totally guilty of ordering 2 meals pretending the 2nd is for someone else (thinking back ~ did they ever really buy that terrible attempt at covering up my gluttony)
* I used to volunteer to go to Taco Bell by myself to grab dinner for the family so I could order extra food for me and eat it in the car on the drive home because I didnt want them to see/judge how much I wanted eat (again - looking back - I didnt even enjoy the extra food because its hard to really ENJOY it while driving)
* When I was single & didnt want to cook dinner, I would buy a box of hostess cupcakes or ho ho's and eat the whole box in one sitting. ( i mean - this just makes my stomach hurt thinking about)

Phew!

I used to claim I did not understand why I was fat ' Idon't eat any more than anyone else"

but I would sneak donuts on my way home from the super market and hid the bag in the outside trash, I would eat a whole tub of cake icing, I would take condesed milk and freeze it and eat it like ice cream. I would eat a whole loaf of french bread with butter and cheese....

I am trying so hard - I still have not stopped drinking ..... that has to be next

I used to eat an entire 14" pizza with cheese stuffed crust for dinner all by myself. 2 years of this type of eating was enough to pack on an extra 50 lbs which I am still trying to lose.

:embarassed:

Seriously, I'm a never ending pit. I could eat and eat and eat...

My worse was a medium pizza all to myself. I would stop myself at 5 or 6 pieces but I could eat the whole thing.

I could finish ANY dessert by myself, no matter HOW many calories. If my hubby and I ordered dessert to "share" it usually meant he would have a few bites and I would polish off the rest.

Breads are the worst. I could eat a whole loaf of french bread in one sitting.

If I let myself, I could probably still do it. But the guilt and the weight aren't worth it.

I confess that I used to have dangerously disordered eating habits. I struggled with anorexia all throughout high school. When I became pregnant with my daughter, I forced myself to eat for my baby. My metabolism was so out of whack from years of starvation that I packed on an incredible amount of weight eating what would be considered a fairly normal diet. I kept a food log during my pregnancy. I used to log my food obsessively. I always ate between 1800 and 2000 calories a day and I still gained about 65 pounds because my body was so used to running on about 500 calories a day.

I confess that after I had my daughter, my anorexia morphed into binge-eating because I was so depressed at how much weight I had gained that I said 'screw it!' and stopped caring. I confess that I used to buy whole boxes of snack cakes and whole big bags of chips and sit in the computer room when my husband was at work and the baby was napping and just gorge myself and eat every last crumb of it and hide the wrappers because I was so ashamed of what I had done. I felt like such a disgusting pig.

I confess that I used to sneak out of the kitchen in the middle of the night and eat entire half gallon containers of ice cream in one sitting, and hide the empty container at the bottom of the garbage, and then when my husband went looking for ice cream, I would act just as puzzled as he was when there was none left and no sign of the carton anywhere...

I confess that I used to make homemade frosting just to sit around and eat it all with a spoon...

When we started trying to conceive a second baby, I tried losing some weight because I was worried that my weight was affecting my fertility and I became pregnant after losing a few pounds...very early into the program...so I stopped trying to lose weight and tried to just...maintain as well as possible. I ended up only gaining 20 pounds with my second pregnancy and after I had my son, I weighed 2 pounds lighter than I had weighed when I conceived.

That was a huge boost for me...I felt like losing weight in a healthy way with sustainable changes was achievable, for the first time in a long time.

And now I confess that the way I used to eat, while I sometimes miss it, and I sometimes consider backsliding, it makes me feel sick to my stomach! I know I am on the right path and I can't wait to reach my goal of a healthier ME!

I think it is therapeutic to share our food demons with each other, and we can offer each other good support here...I felt a lot less ALONE after reading some of these confessions.

I have no self control... If there is junk food anywhere around me I will eat it.
There have been days when all I do is literally sleep and eat.
Cheese is my greatest weakness! I love it. I can easily get all my daily calories out of just eatin cheese. Disgusting I know!
I use to stop by McDonalds get a large order of fries and a Mc Flurry and then throw all the evidence away before I got home.

I have been doing much better here lately, but even this past month while at the training academy I made a B on my first test and eat 2 depression doughnuts and didn't even care who saw me.

I have lost 70lbs, 12 on here, but damn it I have a long way to go and I am going to get there
