Binge meals that you used to think was normal

A large steak and cheese sub with pepper, onion, mushrooms, mayo and 1 extra slice of cheese on a toasted roll. I actually went to a sub shop with my boyfriend the other day, and I looked up the calories online...OMG 1 sub=1450 calories. NOPE. Not any more.

YUM but OMG

i used to be a see-food and eat it, didnt really matter if it was sweet or savoury, if it was in the house, then it was eaten first and the entire contents on once sitting.
1l tubs of ice cream
200g chips
half pizza plus cheese bread
and then repeated the next day.
I dont have one weakness I have many depending on my mood!!

Mind you this could be after dinner or after lunch but before dinner....SCARY!

Whopper with cheese
Large fry
Drive down the road to DQ for a large cookie dough blizzard

Total for this snack - 2580 and 121 grams of fat....so sad, and rather embarrassing now. :embarassed:
How do I change my name now????? :laugh:

wow, good reading.... i could eat an entire box of Little Debbies in one sitting. That's about the worst (that I can remember).

I use to eat one of everything at Dim Sum. Today we had 2 sweets and I ate half of one and my family was pushing the custard pie and I said no. They were "why you like the custard pie?" I said, "I've had one dessert I don't need two." Then it all made sense to them.

a very typical meal when eating out would be....

fried calamari
bread dipped in olive oil
ceasar salad (extra dressing)
pasta carbonara or alfredo
creme brulee or tiramisu
1 bottle of wine

Since you don't mention the portion sizes, this is meaningless. Appetizer, bread, salad, entree, dessert, wine. That is a normal meal for dining out. I'm sorry if you don't understand that you can still eat normal amounts of food.

My binge was uaually Chinese food: a big bowl of wor wonton soup, cantonese chow mein and salt & pepper squid with plum sauce. The serving sizes were the big plates that you're supposed to share around the table. I always ordered it take-out and then sat and ate it while watching a movie, or reading a book. Soooo good, But I always felt sick full afterwards, bleh, don't miss that.
Or, a binge from the grocery store: Big bag of hot wing & blue cheese potato chips, a box of jalapeno poppers (yah , I love spicy stuff), I big deli thing of california rolls and bottle of Koala pop (fruit juice pop, so good).

I knew this was not normal eating. I always did it when my husband was away on business and the kids were in bed. Closet eating disorder . . . hmmmm.

Random funny quote: "Life is not a box of chocolates, it's more like a jalapeno pepper, what you do today may burn you in the butt tomorrow" :laugh:

I had several. From In A Tub I would order 7 tacos. 7!!

From McDonalds I would get a super size big mac meal with fries, and an oreo mcflurry.

Or at my worst I would go to Sonic. I would order a super double sonic burger with mayo, ketchup, mustard. A large chili cheese tator tot, a route 44 cherry limeade and a medium sonic blast.

KFC - a burger .... 6 nuggets.....2 breadrolls ... chips ... and a chocolate dessert.
even the "healthy" option of Subway isnt healthy if you eat a footlong meatball sub with extra cheese and round it off with a large fanta and SIX cookies.

or my other vice chocolate - a whole packet of Tim-Tams in a sitting was not unusual

15 inch apache pizza

or one night my dinner was

"Large packet of Hunky Dories
Murg Chicken Tikka Starter
Chicken Jalferzi, Pilau Rice and Pomadomes/Dip

Bottle of red wine and two chocolate bars"

I look at Man V Food and honestly I could do half his challegnes without breaking a sweat

I remember eating a whole dozen doughnuts when I was a kid. So thankful I have stopped that binging madddddness. Now if I am super hungry, I fill up on a ton of fruits and veggies. I still have a killer appetite but I limit myslelf to certain eating hours every day and that is how I work around it. When I eat, I get that satisfied feeling so I have something to look forward to every day. Saving my calories up to one specific time of day is really working well for me and most importantly it is something I can live with . I see binge eating as a very serious eating disorder now.

Pizza is my weakness.. I have put away mmmmmmany whole large pizzas in my day. It's still difficult to stop at just 1-2 slices nowadays, so I try to stay away from it for the time being.

One day I'll learn some self-control.


Edited to add:

I've also been known to eat Grands Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls. -- The whole pan of them. :embarassed:

And entire boxes of cereal in one sitting.

I'm going to categorise this by eatery:

Greggs binge: two cheese and onion pasties, two sausage and bean melts, huge bag of crisps, custard doughnut, Diet Coke (I know).

McDonalds binge: supersize Mega Mac meal, Diet Coke, McMinis and a McFlurry (that's more a list of largely discontinued McDs items in the UK, looking at it!).

Home snackage in secret binge: two big bars of Galaxy/Dairy Milk, big bag of Walkers Sensations, half a packet of chocolate Hob Nobs.

A whole loaf, toasted and buttered - with nutella.
