    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!

    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.

    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?

    My fat secret: This thread made me hungry.



    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.

    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.

    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.

    Ate most of a pizza that was for everyone.. Put the box on the ground and blamed it on our dog.

    I was a yo yo dieter - danger point of about 20 pounds. Also, I was bulemic when I was younger. I used to go to different stores to stock up on junk food so I could go home, eat and throw up. What a terrible thing to do to oneself. So glad I got help.

    I eat super fast so my S.O. doesn't consume everything first. not sure if fat secret... or survival. :brokenheart:

    I'd sneak into the kitchen at almost every top of the hour to have a bite on whatever food is in there + a "spoonful" of rice (and by that I meant a quarter of a cup). So by the end of the day I've eaten at least 5 cups of rice. Good times.

    Is this a bad thing?

    Lets see, ordering 2 drinks So they would think the food was for 2 ppl, burger king whopper, mcd's fries, kfc wings all in one binge. whole bags of chips. Eating at the buffet till I felt sick. Grazing all day. middle of the night sitting on the kitchen floor eating plates of leftovers while still kinda sleeping. being terrified of restaurant booths not being big enough, especially since i'm a chubby chaser, it can get really tight with 2 big ppl! lol

    Back when I was 19 a good friend and I would finish work around 10pm, go to Wendy's and order a dozen bacon cheeseburgers and a large soft drink each. We would then feast, play video games, and eventually go home/pass out and repeat the next day.

    Mmm, bacon cheeseburger. I am such a fat kid at heart, and it's tough to restrain myself sometimes... But it's better in the long run if I don't give in. The craving/desire will pass.

    I can totally relate to the booth thing. Until my current husband, almost all of the guys I dated (and my ex husband) were very big too and that was an issue a lot of times.

    Also, buffets. I remember going to a local Chinese buffet and just having a pretty normal amount of a couple entrée choices (actually not much more than I would eat NOW) but then getting like 10 crab rangoons and just eating the cream cheese centers. Then getting cookies.

    I used to use the board room on my lunch breaks just so people couldn't see how much food I was eating, and if anyone ever called me out I'd just say I was making a personal call and wanted the privacy.

    The little sugar coated fried bread rolls were my favorite thing at the Chinese buffet. I wonder how many calories those were? Probably several hundred each, and I could eat a plateful.

    I bought five pairs of (skinny - oh lord!) Gap jeans one size too small (I could do them up, but forget breathing). I bought them because they were on sale for about £7 each, then completely grew out of them within about a month. What a great saving that was!
