Confess your mess

There's too many to list but one really sticks out in my mind cuz it's funny.... I was on the Atkins Diet many, many years ago. Was doing great, lost 35 lbs in 3 months. Had never been a "closet eater". Well, I went off the diet for a company Christmas party (huge, huge party) and my taste buds had been reawakened. It was like, "Hellooooo Suuuuugar!! Where have you been all these months. And WOW, you taste GOOOOD!!!". All I remember is at some point, maybe the next day, maybe a week later.... I was literally standing in my bedroom closet, hunched over, hiding from my husband & the kids, shoveling Twinkies in my mouth like a crack addict. And I was mighty possessive of them too. I was thoughtful though.... I left one in the box.

I ate five frozen fruit by the foots in ten minutes.

I believe my worst since I started tracking was two Five Guys double cheeseburgers, half a large order of their fries, a 500 calorie pastry, a chocolate milk (or was it a milkshake?) some chips, and a candybar of some sort. I know I have a 7000+ calorie day somewhere in this journal, if not more than one.

And this is one reason I don't have cheat days! Because I can really go to town!

My worst meal would have to be - 2 big macs - 2 double cheese burgers - 2 large fries - large coke. Later followed by 6 packs of walkers crisps, dairy milk and ice cream. I did have the worst hangover of my life but that's no excuse for 4500+Cals.

When I would go to Sonic on my own I would love to get a chili cheese coney, a BBQ toaster burger, large fry, and large coke. And eat it ALL. I would only do it on by myself because I knew it was ridiculous. This wouldn't be often, but even once a month was too much. I finally admitted this to my husband when I let him see what I weigh on the scale. Now he is my biggest support in changing my thinking about food.
