    Weak. When I was around 16, I downed a box of peanut butter cups in one morning.

    Box. Please note weight.
    I respect this

    Indeed worthy of respect. This is quite an accomplishment. I love frozen Reese's or Butterfingers smashed and sprinkled on ice cream.

    I am another Wendy's Fix person, and thank goodness Wendy's is 65 miles away and I can only go if I drive up by myself, which is almost never. I do keep the splurge small, though.

    I used to love Wendy's but I just can't eat their burgers anymore (or anyone else's). Now I just pick off the bacon. Which reminds me, I used to, every Saturday, cook a pound of bacon for breakfast. I clearly state bacon because there was nothing else lol. No eggs. No toast. Just ate a pound of bacon. God I am going to die young...

    If I had to choose between sex and food. i'd pick food :(

    I'd pick both, but I am much better at eating food.

    I would routinely get "road burgers" and eat on the road between home and work. Maybe a McChicken and a double cheeseburger. Or maybe two breakfast sandwiches, because one isn't enough, ya know? 2-3 doughnuts from the convenience store in the morning, or maybe several snacks in the evening: let's say PB cups, and Bugles, and, oh maybe Swiss Cake Rolls. I would eat all this and then eat a normal dinner with the family.

    I would usually try to buy these with cash, or else put them on a scrip card we get through our kids' school, or else buy them when I got gas. That way the expense was hidden from Mrs Jruzer. I'd usually hide the evidence under the seats or throw it out before I got home.

    As much as I can't believe I used to eat like that, even now "Fat Jruzer" would like to do it again. Mmm, burger...

    I basically used to do that, too. My "great job" was a VERY stressful & toxic one and the office was located next to a Starbucks and a McDonald's. After work I would very frequently grab a mocha or a McDouble and then go home to prepare a large dinner for my ex and I...or go out to dinner, and eat a full entree and maybe get dessert or bake cookies/scones before bedtime.

    Other fat secrets...hmmm... I was only at my all time heaviest for about 18 months, but I had really bad swollen ankles and sometimes feet (especially in the summertime) because of it, and I would have to choose my outfit for the day based on that. I might pick out capris or a cute dress/skirt, and then wind up in long pants to hide my ankles. ANKLES people!!! Not belly roll or back fat. Ankles. That was an "aha" moment of mine.

    Before, even though I was obese for many many years, I'd always had these relatively small & slender feet so it was totally weird to have to stop and think, "Can I wear the strappy sandals today or will my feet look like little chubby pig feet due to swelling" - and if I walked around for more than an hour, the swelling would become painful. I am SO glad that is all behind me. Sometimes now I come home from a 2 hour hike or 10 hours of sightseeing and marvel at the fact that my feet look all skinny and veiny. Sounds gross but it's an NSV! LOL

    Another one that comes to mind is always making a beeline for the most out of the way chair with my back to the wall. The very idea of sitting on the floor in the middle of a room would have freaked me out totally when I was very large. I'd feel all fidgety the entire time and worry that people were staring at my back fat or awkward seated position.

    I really like this thread. It is making me sit back and realize how far I have come!!

    at one point I would drink a 64oz soda instead of eating an entire meal. For every meal.... for several weeks.

    Like a full Barros Large Buffalo Hot Wing Pizza, to be exact. So good...And throw in a vat of soda on it.

    I limit myself to 4 slices now, and that is the best I can do, so i don't order often.

    At my heaviest I worked at an ice cream shop (shocking). We sold our own home-made ice cream cakes. The cakes were baked in a square pan, but most of the cakes we offered were round. So guess what I did with all the square edges that I trimmed off?

    Yes. I ate them, after dipping them in chocolate ganache no less.

    I still would.

    But I'm pretty much asexual. So.

    On a serious note, though, I once ate an entire pack of Oreos. To myself. In one sitting.

    Weak. When I was around 16, I downed a box of peanut butter cups in one morning.

    Box. Please note weight.

    Not weird. I always thought Girl Scout Cookies were single-serve boxes...

    Wait---they're not?

    I'm not sure WHY I hid my eating. The evidence of it was there for all to see.

    I could eat a pound of M&Ms... those have always been my favorite. And once, when my hubby was out of town for a day (ONE day!!), I bought and finished off a 5 quart pail of mint chocolate chip ice cream.

    I'm still amazed at the vast quantities of food (pizza, ice cream, candy, etc.) that I can eat in one sitting!

    I used to go by myself to the drive thru and always get 2 drinks so that the cashiers wouldn't think all that food was for me.

    I've never done that, but I would say another one of my "fat secrets" is going to 2-3 different fast food places to create the perfect meal. Even if I just got 1 small item at each place I still felt very sheepish about it, and I remember kind of hiding the bag from one place when I'd be in the drive thru of the second or third.

    I would eat an entire medium pizza from Dominos sometimes and still be hungry.

    Hail naw, there's no shame in that! You gotta get the pewrfect Concrete Mixer from Culvers, but their burgers aren't the best, so you gotta get a gouble cheese double meat Whataburger. With McDonald's Fries. And you can't get a Baja Blast anywhere other than Taco Bell, so might as well pick up three or four caramel apple empanadas while you're there getting that drink. (Yes, I have done all thins. Still do, just MUCH less frequently!)

    I applied for a sponsored weight loss program and was turned down because they felt I wasn't READY to lose weight. I should have kept the rejection letter.

    Being fat made me pee a little when I sneezed. Gross.

    Having kids did this to me... or laugh too hard.... ugh, the things they don't tell you until it is too late.

    Fat secret? I am not big on secrets.... I guess I don't mind being fat. I am okay with it and with me just the way I am. It is other people that aren't and those other people are unfortunately my potential employers thus my current presence here today on MFP.

    Edit: I did used to hide what I ate from an ex, but he was always on me about my weight and everything else he could think of to change about me... yeah... ex. *nods*

    Without the combination of vaseline and talcum powder life as a morbidly obese is impossible. Thankfully this is no longer the case.

    My Friday nights in Minnesota consisted of watching The Swan (tv show where they do extreme makeovers on girls to make them more attractive) while eating my Walmart PowerPak which was a box of walmart fried chicken, XL walmart pizza and a pan of walmart brownies. The good life. Sometimes I'd feel sick after, so I'd soothe it with ice cream.

    lol, I think we like all of the opposite things (hate Culvers custard and only like their burgers, hate Baja Blast & McD fries). BUT come to think of it you are right. Not long ago I had some chicken nuggets from Wendy's and a kids birthday cake shake from Steak N Shake in the same night.

    I have been known on more than one or two occasions to buy 2 boxes of 6 Cadbury creme eggs, and realising after eating 4 that I would have to finish the box so that hubby wouldn't know how greedy I was. Then after dinner, he would open the other box, and I would have to have one so he wouldn't think it was odd refusing one of my favourites. I still have trouble limiting myself.
