Binge meals that you used to think was normal

A whole frozen pizza, a whole box of those thin mint girl scout cookies, a whole bag of chips or a Whopper meal everyday large sized. I am thankful I started looking at labels and stopped eating so much fast food!0

Ahh, McDonalds... I'd go for a medium Fillet o fish meal with coke, 6 chicken nuggets, 2 cheeseburgers and if they had onion rings or those lovely cheese melt things with the tomato salsa dip, I'd go for whichever was on the menu at the time.
We had Indian last night from our local (cheat day) and it was heavenly. Only had Lamb garlic corriander delight and mushroom rice - stayed away from the usual portion of bombay potatoes and cheese/garlic naan!
I wont even start on Chinese - I usually would order £30 worth of dishes and graze on it throughout the night till it was all gone. Had to have chips with it too - can't be chinese chips

Definitely Chinese food, typical order used to be:
Won ton soup,
Pan fried dumplings,
duck spring rolls,
beef and mushroom,
egg fried rice,
pineapple fritters covered in syrup.:noway:
I think I could just about manage the beef and mushrooms in one sitting now :ohwell:0 -
The other day my hubby & i shared a chmychanga(sp wrong i know)....9 months ago i would've eat'n the whole thing plus the yellow rice and refried beans!!........dont know how i could fit all that in my stomach!!
Uh, i still eat that now on occasion.
My thing was more cookies, ice cream, and chocolate. I'm more of a sugar freak. I can eat an amazing amount of candy.0 -
An entire rack of baby back ribs to myself. I'm only seventeen, but when I was eight, I could scarf down a full rack in ten minutes and each bone would be picked clean. I could still do it, too.
I could also eat an entire pound of cookie dough and then down a tray of brownies and not even blink. And I'd still be hungry enough for a large mug of cocoa.
Also, I could eat a Big Mac, large fries, a strawberry milkshake, and a McFlurry. And still want more. *shudders*
Now, my biggest problem is Chinese food. My family only eats it at buffet places, and I just eat till I'm sick and then some. Still working on that.0 -
Bar of galaxy (200g)
Big pack of walkers sensations (Thai sweet chilli)
Kraft cheesy pasta
Coffee and 3 sugars (I take sweeteners now, bleh!)
Sandwiches (Chocolate spread, or peanut butter and butter or, peanut butter and chocolate spread)
Noodles and pasta.
I shall be treating myself to all of these things when I reach my goal! (one at a time off course and in moderation but for now they have all been cut out (and more) except the coffee!0 -
Sonic
2 grilled chicken wraps
large watermelon slush
large fry
I try to avoid fast food now, or when I go I just eat whatever a regular meal is... but I always feel like I want more. Definitely still working hard to change this.0 -
I'd do this when my husband was out of town. Go buy 1 doz. buttercream carrot cake cupcakes and a carton of vanilla bean ice cream. Filled a bowl with ice cream and add two frozen (I kept the cup cakes in the freezer) cupcakes. I went back for seconds and thirds... by the time I was on my 3rd serving I'd be so sick to my stomach, and feeling so bad I'd throw out whatever was left over. Now when I look at stuff in the bakery department all I see are deadly things!!! Never Again!!!!0

Ooh here goes confession time:
1, a whole tub a haagen daaz cookies and cream (usually with a bottle of wine)
2, one large pepperoni passion dominos
3, I'd tell myself that pasta and homemade (fat free from scratch) tomato sauce was still healthy which in small portions, and not enough to feed 3, it is UNTIL I added at least 150g of cheese!
4, a whole pack (roughly 300-500g) of bacon grilled until crispy 1-2 slices of white bread and butter on the side.
5, CHEESE CHEESE CHEESE! I can eat it until it comes out of my ears.
That's just a selection of things I used to eat as if it was normal, not all at once though.
I feel much better sharing those deep dark secrets and knowing I won't do that anymore.0 -
Last year we went out for Japanese and I got Miso soup, salad, appetizer, about eight roles, some chicken and rice stuff and ice cream not sure if I purged later but I don't think I could even finish the soup and roles now. Also had whole things of Ramen (its for like two people mind), cheese noodles (again for two or three people), pasta, with tomato sauce and garlic sticks and lots of cheese or just eat a chunk of cheese on the side with bread and butter. Half a box of kuskus, half of a Kugen (could have eaten the whole thing but there is serously to much custard in those!), half a tray of cookies (while the other tray was cooking), a whole bar of chocolate etc. I literally eat myself sick when out at buffets, didn't know what full was when I was a kid and would eat until I was almost on the verge of puking.0
-
a whole box of little debbie cakes (8-10 cakes depending on which kind) in a day. yikes! its my addiction.
oh yeh....and when we ate at ryans restaurant i could eat like 6 yeast rolls with that honey butter0 -
Chinese buffet, veggies, protein ..and grains. Healthy i thought. Boy was i wrongggg!! :explode:0
-
I've eaten a whole tub of pralines and cream ice cream. I even bought a pack of spoons to eat it
I didn't drive at the time so I just went to the closest bench and turned my back to the passing crowds and ate it all!
I also used to go into McDonald's and order so much I would get imbarrased so I would order and extra drink and make out like I wasn't 100% sure the order was right as it was for more than 1 person, then I would go eat EVERYTHING in the parking lot...0 -
half of a large stuffed crust pizza with extra cheddar cheese and bacon, almost all of a 2 liter of pepsi, and some cheese bread, and i would still be hungry after that so then dessert would be a whole pint of starbucks java chip or ben and jerry's phish food. The thing is that when you are eating like that it almost becomes normal to you until start making changes and then you see that you were really doing some damage to your body eating like that.0
-
Mostly portion sizes in my case, McDonalds has always given me indigestion!
That said I could eat halfway through a packet of cheddar whilst grating it without thinking - I still eat a bit whilst grating it but it's a thin sliver, and much less on the plate.
I still have a weakness for custard creams and bourbon biscuits.. I haven't bought any for a few months!0 -
This was my standard lunch order at Mcdonald's:
10 Piece Chicken Mcnuggets (with Honey dipping sauce)
Large Fries
Large Sprite
Caramel Sundae
That one meal was over 1600 calories by itself. I would then go home in the evening and have takeout Pork Fried Rice/Popeye's Chicken or something convenient like that...0 -
A couple of my favorites were.........
a box of velveeta shells and cheese with an entire can of diced tomatoes in it....soo hot it would be hard to eat but Id do it.
......or
potatoes and brown gravy ALL by itself. Id mash boiled potatoes on a dinner plate being sure to cover the entire plate.....then layer brown gravy over it almost in heaps. OMG it was so good. We never made it often because we both couldnt not gorge on this stuff.
NOW the thought of either actually gives me a gut ache. I cant imagine eating like that now but I also wont even tempt myself with either.0 -
Large quarter pounder meal with 2 slices of bacon.
Double cheeseburger.
6 nuggets
Large chocolate sundae
Large choco frappe
or
A whole roll of cookie dough0 -
I used to eat more than once a week frozen lasagna! You know the one's you buy in the frozen area of the supermarket and then you just have to heat it up in the microwave? Yeah, I could eat the whole box!
I'm actually even disgusted with myself, that I ate that s***. And I can even remember that one time when I was binging on that I felt my heart jump irregularly, and I just kept stuffing my face. I'm horrified at the way I treated my body and my health. :sick:0 -
When I was a kid (11 or 12), I would go to McDonald's about once a month and get 9 chicken nuggets, large fries, about 5 pots of ketchup, a large coke, and a McFlurry.
That's about 1,635 calories. That is about what I need as an adult to maintain my weight, and that was JUST for dinner.
After having eaten a breakfast of probably about 100g of sugary cereal with full fat milk, and a lunch of a huge great big tuna mayonnaise baguette and a packet of crisps and a chocolate bar or two.
I was just a KID. I will never understand why my parents let me eat like that, when they themselves are quite healthy. I can't' blame them though. I should have had more sense.0 -
Entire medium Dominos pizza and then cinnamon sticks on the side...2 donuts and 12 donut holes from my fav local donut shop...Chick Fil A 8 pack with fries and 2 sauces and a regular Cookies & Cream shake...0
-
1/2 a Bloomin Onion with dipping sauce and THEN a burger & fries afterward!
1105 calories for 1/2 Bloomin Onion. 1052 calories for the burger. 420 calories for the fries. 2577 calories for ONE MEAL! I don't usually eat that much in a day anymore!0 -
You know, I never really thought about this until now, surprisingly enough. My fast food stats, then and now. Because yes, I still eat fast food. ;D
Then:
2 McChicken
1 Medium/Large Fries
1 Frappé
3 Crunchy Taco Bell tacos and 1 bean burrito OR
2-3 Chalupas and 1-2 crunchy tacos
1 soda
4-5 slices of large pizza
Always went back for seconds.
Now:
1 McChicken
1 Small Fry
Water, Coke Zero, or a McDonald's Sweet Tea if I'm treating myself. c:
2 Tacos OR
1 Bean burrito
1 Zero-cal soda or a limeade sparkler
1-2 slices of pizza
Rarely take seconds, and if I do it's more like one and a half more. XD0 -
You know the size of a Dominos large pizza? Ya, one of those, allll to myself. Plus coke, garlic bread and those Belgian waffle thingies.
ya, i just ate 3 slices of a medium pizza hit pizza and 4 bone out wings for a grand total of almost 1200 cals and washed it back with diet pepsi, thats insane...considering i woulda eaten twice as much b4 and drank a litre of rootbeer with it! wow.0 -
In the "good old days" I'd regularly (once a week/fortnight) go to KFC and get a 12 piece bucket meal, kid myself my wife and daughter would share it with me, even thought my wife always wanted a burger instead, and my daughter was 4 or 5 years old so 1 piece was enough for her.
So I'd pig out on around 9 or 10 pieces of chicken, 2 portions of fries, and a big pot of chicken gravy.
And I never batted an eyelid, looking back now I'm completely disgusted/revolted.
Oh yeah, and I'd worry I would still be peckish so I'd get a load of hot wings too :ohwell:0 -
I still slip now and then,, but on long run, I am thinner than years ago with over 40 pounds lost in past year0

When I was like aged 8-12 I was a right heffer.
A large cheese & tomato pizza AND fries.
A large Filet O Fish meal with strawberry milkshake and another portion of large fries
A large portion of fries from 'the chippy' with curry sauce or mayo.
A large baked potato with about 100g cheese.
And then meals I've been quite shocked at, is I'd make chips (fries) at home, and think it'd be about 100g... it'd be more like 300g! Along with 2 veggie sausages, ketchup and 'some cheese'... also realised that woulda probably been a 50g.
Then when I was a bit older only a few years back, I lived off one bowl of Coco Pops a day, or one small baked potato with a portion of grated Cheddar. From no doubt eating 2000-3000 calories a day... to like 200-500 a day. No wonder my body hated me. 0 -
I use to order two combo meals at Taco Bell so that I got two pops, and they would realize all the food was for me.0

This is a bit like me. I would eat so much as a child. My mum was always a size 12-14, so not really fat. She'd feed me up... yet then mention my weight issues. Lol. I can't blame myself as a child that I should have known better, because she was the adult and shouldn't have let me.0 -
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!
I don't know what it is about pizza, but I'm the same way. I have to make my own at home with the small crusts, so that it's the ONLY pizza I'll be eating.0
