    This is just making me really hungry!

    Sometimes I do wish I could go back to the days when I'd eat whatever and honestly not care!

    I used to eat all sorts of rubbish! One of my fave things for lunch was chicken flavour Super Noodles with grated cheese on top! I still eat it every now and then (maybe once a month) but there were points I would probably eat that at least 3 times a week! I blame my boyfriend for making me gain weight (ok yeah I know it's my fault really, I should have said no!) but he would always buy us yummy foods like olives stuffed with feta and caramelised onion humous which we would eat with chilli heatwave Doritos as a snack after eating dinner! Mmm yum...I do eat much healthier now though and tend not to snack but crisps have got to be my downfall. I would only eat one small bag a day but I really want to cut down to around twice a week. I gave them up for the whole of lent once so I know I can do it!

    Whenever i'd go out for dinner i'd assume that I burnt enough calories to go all out. Turns out i'd only burn 500-600 but the meal I thought I could go all out came in at 1300 calories or more on top of everything else I ate that day. Then I was wondering why I kept gaining weight despite working out. SMH

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

    Totally this. That was a normal lunch and I wouldn't blink. I'd even toss in a slice of cheddar to thicken it up. Also every pizza story on here.

    What MFP really opened my eyes on was booze. Beer, and Gin & Tonic's especially, no light beer junk either... Homebrew at 150 cal a pint! 800 calories a day when it was all in easily. I keep those around 200 a day now.

    I have 3 favorites and all made at home

    A 10 oz steak and two twice baked potatoes loaded with butter, cheese and bacon.

    I sometimes would eat a box of mac n cheese with about half a pound of ground beef by myself.

    And last but not least my absolute favorite meal to stuff myself with

    2 chicken fried steaks, white cheddar mashed potatoes, both smothered in a bacon gravy, with green beans and corn on the cob. It was heaven.

    LMFAO so true I'm so scared when I think about how I use to eat on a daily basis. I still have trouble with binging but now, when I do binge, it's stuff at home that yes packs on the calories but at least it isn't fast food. I use to go to Taco Bell for lunch and get 2 half pound been burritos, a nacho bell grande, and two empanadas. Yep, then later that night binge on more stuff. How I never got up to 200lbs I'll never know. I was close I got up to 190..... Writing this just made me shudder and feel kinda sick....

    An entire large pizza is the most I have binged on, but that was without any beer. I could never eat an entire large if I had beer too, only half a large. :tongue:


    Mostly, I didn't really binge on meals though. I just ate a lot throughout the day, high calorie snacks and such. I would have three pieces of cake instead of one. An entire sleeve of Oreos instead of just three. Etc.

    I would often eat one of these three on a Friday night after a long week of work:

    Jack in the Box Sourdough Chicken Club with large Fries and soda
    Jalepeno Poppers
    Mini Churros
    Sometimes I would add a large oreo shake! Those alone contain 1000+ calories.

    or

    a whole box of Mac and Cheese (I am a fan of the three cheese shells) and a pint of Ben and Jerrys

    or

    a large pizza with garlic bread and wings.


    After a recent stressful day I thought I needed one of these meals and couldn't even get past the first few bites. So glad I am breaking that habit, because I never remember feeling great after eating those meals.

    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...


    I have done this exact thing too! I'm so embarrassed to even admit it!

    OH yeah don't get me started on pizza lol...I'd eat a whole large onion and green pepper with extra cheese pizza from Papa Johns by myself...with extra garlic sauce and chicken fingers w/bbq sauce

    To this day I can't eat Papa Johns because I'm too afraid I'll go off the deep end

    An entire full-size bag of Chips Ahoy at one sitting. According to MFP database, an entire bag (30 cookies) has 1600 calories, but it has 40% RDA for iron! :drinker:

    I used to eat half a bag of Tyson Honey Battered Chicken Tenders with nearly half a bag of mozerella cheese sticks as a side. No wonder I got so damn big... makes me shudder now to think about those days.

    I used to get a thing of double stuffed oreos and sit on my couch eating most of the package...milk in hand...omg that sounds so good right now!
    ^^This. I knew it wasn't normal, but unfortunately it was still pretty normal for me. I'd still happily do it today -- and right now I'm at that "Goal achieved! Must self-sabotage!" stage, so the Oreo call is particularly strong.

    I used to INHALE any chocolate that I could get my hands on.

    And make mac and cheese and eat the entire thing.

    I guess developing lactose intolerance was my body's way of saying to stop eating so much chocolate and mac and cheese.

    The weight has just kind of been peeling off now that I have to think about how everything is made to ensure there's no milk in it.

    I miss chocolate. :sad:

    There are many dairy-free dark chocolates -- I had to go dairy-free for a while, and found plenty of dark chocolate thad had no dairy and no soy.

    Big Mac Meal....now I do a kids meal and a diet coke

    Eating a whole bag of potato chips.
    Drinking a whole bottle of wine by yourself.
    Almost a whole bag of oreos.
    Half a baguette and a whole slice of brie cheese.

    Cheese and bread are still my downfall.

    I have my binge days where I don't eat as much as I used to but I sometimes mindless eat.
