    If you're familiar with the film this is from:

    Large amounts of booze consumed before food with my bf of my younger years.
    The food scene in this, Epic!

    fat secret -
    When going to the beach I would find the largest woman possible and lay my towel down near her.

    I no longer need to compare myself to others, or mentally put others down to make myself feel better. Thank God for that!

    Fat secret? Nothing hardcore. Half a jar of peanut butter with a spoon at 3 AM maybe? Now if you want drunk secrets...pull up a chair.

    Sometimes, when I would go window shopping, I'd pick up snacks. Some gummi type candy (gummi bears or worms) or fruit slices, and a couple chocolate bars. I'd hit a drive through and two value meals (double whopper or qtr pounder and a chicken sandwich). Then I'd cram all the food down before I got home, and throw the trash away at another store so no one would know. And reading this thread made me hungry.

    Oh yeah, jar of peanut butter, jar of preserves, and a package of generic chocolate double stuff sandwich cookies. Separate the cookie from the filling, put peanut butter on the cookie, eat it. Repeat. Combine the fillings from the two cookies, remove one of the cookie parts, add peanut butter to that cookie and eat it. Rinse, lather, repeat, until I had a single cookie piece with 4 or five things of filling, then eat just the filling, then more peanut butter on the last bit of cookie. Spooning out some preserves as needed to balance out the lardy chocolate/cookie/peanut butter flavoring. It was delicious, and got me through many a bad movie night.

    Pregnant during the summer and daily large blizzards... Then sometimes my hubby would bring me home another one being all thoughtful and sweet and I would have that one too....

    There's a smaller person hiding inside my body right now. And I'm pretty sure there's a skeleton too.

    I used to go to this all-you-can-eat pizza place called CiCi's Pizza and eat until I couldn't fit anymore in my stomach. Then, I'd sit there with my plate acting as if I was still eating, but what I was really doing was waiting until my stomach could take more pizza. After going to the crapper I would then get a new plate of fresh pizza and eat more pizza and cinnamon sticks until I couldn't eat anymore. When I would leave I would go and cry in my car with feelings of disgust.

    CiCi -- Calories in, Calories IN :laugh:

    I can eat a large pizza by myself. Then have dessert.
    Of course, I'll drink diet pop with it. :laugh:

    I hope those days are over for me.

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

    Honestly (and I kind of hate myself for saying this), so would I. Especially the delicious stuff. In excess.

    I love this one. Especially the second part about no longer needing to do this. I am the same way. I used to work in a large office and when someone new started who was bigger than me, and/or "didn't carry their weight as well" (three chins or something) I would be so excited down deep because I felt like it would put less focus on my own obesity. Sad and pathetic.

    I once ate a 1/2lb block of cheese in the car, on the way home from the supermarket, as if it was an apple (just bit chunks off the block). Then I ate a whole chicken when I got home.

    Hahahahaha I love this! I used to eat sticks of salami on the way home from the supermarket!

    It was cheddar or colbey-jack, right? That mozza crap doesn't count as food.

    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 liked The Swan. It was kind of a sad train wreck, but I was always amazed they could make people look so different.

    I loved The Swan because it was sooo brutal. Hi, we are going to make you over and change your entire appearance through exercise and plastic surgery for months... then we will cap it off by having you judged on your appearance against someone else doing the same so we can determine who is the uglier of the two despite all of the work haha. Me and a friend would play along and try to guess who would be be the ugly duckling. You had to be at least part as*hole to even watch that show.

    Not really sure if this fits here, but...

    I was chubby and very self concious when I became a nurse. I loved wearing loose scrubs with no shape because it was so easy to hide the body I hated under them. I got way too comfortable with that & kept up some horrendous eating habits. Soon, the loose scrubs weren't loose anymore. I used that comfortable and familar feeling to let myself spin out of control pretty quickly. I've worked hard to get the weight off, and I still have a long way to go...but my biggest fear is that I'm getting too comfortable again.

    Solution is to wear skin tight latex clothes 24/7 when not at work or under your uniform, so you are aware of everything constantly.

    1) My Wife would make me a "healthy" breakfast in the morning which I would eat. Then I'd stop in the way to work and buy an Egg McMuffin or a couple donuts because I was still hungry.
    2) I would buy a candy bar EVERY time I stopped to buy gas.
    3) I would stop on the way home from work and get a milkshake, blizzard, etc probably 2-3 days a week.
    4) If I was home alone, I would cook a box of mac-n-cheese, add extra shredded fresh cheese, and eat the whole pot myself. Then I would dispose of the "evidence" at the bottom of the trash and wash all the dishes before anyone got home.
    5) I would go to the gym and instead of working out, I'd hang out in the jacuzzi or sit in the relaxation area and watch TV for an hour, then leave and brag about my great workout when I got home.

    lol..Yeah it was a beatdown in more ways than one. I liked the transformations though.
    I would have signed up to be on it if they hadn't made you air all your sad, pathetic dirty laundry on TV for everyone to see. lol

    Thank god, my self esteem is much higher these days. lol

    YES! I've done this before and it always makes me feel like an awful person.

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

    I used to do that on a weekly basis. Sometimes 2 packets.

    Wait...what??? ...are you saying that's not normal?

    No, seriously though. I used to get terribly winded walking to class which was less than a half mile from my apartment.

    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 was about to post this exact same thing. I thought I was the only 'smart' one out there. The worst time was when I needed 3 drinks to balance out the food order. :blushing:

    There would be days when I was too lazy to pee so I would hold it as long as possible and drink Diet Coke to dehydrate myself. I would just sit on the couch from the time I got up until it was time for bed. For days at a time. Maybe even weeks.

    I also would eat a whole package of cheese at one sitting. I would cut off one small piece at a time and with every mouthful lie to myself that it was the last piece I would cut off, and then I would cut off another piece and eat it until there was no more left.

    I ate cream cheese out of the container by itself when I ran out of cheese.

    I'm finding reading this thread and posting my fat secrets (that probably wasn't really much of a secret, everyone else in the house could see what was missing from the refrigerator) very liberating.

    there was this episode of thirty rock where liz is in a snuggie on the couch with a hunk of cheese slicing off slices singing "working on my night cheese" (like... working on my night moves)... now whenever i am temped to do what you describe i sing it to myself and imagine jack donaghy is outside the door about to knock. sometimes i put it away, sometimes i dont.

    It was Mersey Valley Extra Sharp Cheddar - the crumbly kind. So good. So bad.

    I would regularly stop at the gas station on the way home from work to buy a snack.... often this was either a can of pringles of can of mixed nuts. I prefered the nuts b/c they didn't have nutritional info and I could convince myself that nuts are good for me. I remember a couple of times figuring up the calories in the pringles and thinking, 'well that should be my food for the whole day,' knowing that I had already had breakfast (probably from McDonalds) and lunch (food court Thai food probably with about 3 cups of rice) and knowing that dinner was only an hour away.
