Before MFP...name a bad food habit you'd like to admit...

Count me in the crowd of a medium pizza is nothing. I could easily finish off a large pizza with breadsticks in a single afternoon. Followed by "something sweet" usually cinnastix or the like. Frankly, if I let myself I think I could still do that. I so rarely feel "full" its unbelievable.

Like someone else said, it wasn't a single food, but eating in general like a 300 pound linebacker!

I have never, ever once in my life said "I don't understand why I've gained weight!" I have known every time. Its no secret! My family is incredibly sensitive to calorie surpluses and deficits. We have no problem gaining 20 pounds in a month. But we can also take off 15-20 pounds a month if we really work at it. This last time I gained weight - I gained almost 50 pounds in a short 6 months. And no secret why I gained those 50 pounds!

And to bring the confession a step further, so many people have said "Yuck, I can't believe I did that." But for me, if the opportunity presented itself that I could go back to eating like that with no repercussions, I'd totally do it. I'm one of the few people you'll come across that will admit that I miss eating like crap and eating massive amounts of crap. I have it in check now and don't crave to eat that way anymore - but sometimes I do miss it.

Cheese!!! Cheese dipped in cheese with a side of cheese please! I still eat it but not as if it were the only food source on the planet. Well and........
Sponge cake with melted cream CHEESE icing poured on it and then when the cake was gone, a spoon did just fine as a vehicle to get the icing to my mouth!

These days I crave hummus so I am thinking that is a big deal!

NO portion control AT ALL with Pizza...oh, and diving into (almost literally) a bag of salt and vinegar kettle style chips (again with ZERO portion control).

I still really can't handle those foods well with portion control so I've kind of stayed away for the most part. I have been at kid events where pizza was only food and I didn't know about it ahead of time (or I would have eaten at home in advance) and I was good about just having one piece...BUT, when I make pizza for kids at home, I just don't even touch it. I don't love it THAT much to lose control with it.

Same here. I have to stay away from pizza - I have no control. My mom was with me this weekend and really wanted pizza, I had to tell her no way. I just can't control myself around it. If I could have a slice or two and be done, I totally would have let her get it, but I've learned its just nearly impossible for me once I start to stop.

Drinking 4-6 cans of Dr.Pepper everyday. During GS Cookie time, I'd eat an entire package of Samoa's or Thin Mints in one sitting. Eating 2 bowls of cereal just before bed.

I would go to 7-11, get a giant slurpee and pretty big sized bag of Better Made barbeque potato chips and finish them both in about an hour or two.
Awful. But it's been pretty easy to give up the chips since Better Made arent availabe here, lol.

Oh, there are sooo many!

Twinkies--I wouldn't buy them often because I would finish a box of them myself in 1-12 days

Cake--any kind. Like a previous poster said...I would eat it for every meal until it was gone

French Onion Dip & Ruffles--I could eat an entire tub myself in 1-2 days

Pizza-I could eat 3/4 myself

Cheese on everything...from Wisconsin--'nuf said!

Candy bars--multiple in one sitting

Brownies--I could eat 1/2 a pan at once, then feel so sick from all of the sugar!

My worst food habit, meaning this wasn't just a one time thing, eating a can of Pringles. Oh no not the tiny ones. The big tall ones. Seriously I would sit down and eat a CAN of Pringles. It has now been at least 80 days since I have even had a Pringle haha

i could easily eat half a packet of jaffa thins, or a whole tub of so good soy vanilla or chocolate icecream...just sitting watching tv. or potato wedges with loads of sour cream.

I think I was your typical oversized portion eater. It took some will power initially to be satisfied with normal portions because I consistently overate. I'm also guilty of drinking too many of my calories. I love water when I am working outside in the heat but almost any other time I prefer something with more flavor. I stick to crystal light or tea instead of sodas now. I'm not sure how much soda I was drinking in a day because It was always well stocked in 2 liter bottles and I'm not the only guilty party in my household. I am sure there were days it was 2 liters or possibly more. I see a lot of people admitting that pizza is a huge weakness and I definately have experienced that. I could easily eat half a pizza (14") by myself at one time. I'm also guilty of indulging on french fries. I can't remember ever skipping out on fries with my hamburger but now I never order them for myself. If I am craving them strongly I might eat a few of my son or husband's so I won't overdo it. I still want to cave sooooo bad when I smell fries though. Another thing I did that contributed greatly to my weight problem was eating when I was bored. I often told myself I was too tired to cook even though I was bored and instead of busying myself with making a meal I would often grab the easiest, calorie loaded thing available instead. Those things never really satisfied my hunger and ultimately I would also follow that with a normal meal. It was bad! So very bad.

I'd eat a big bowl of ice cream at least once a week. or I'd eat straight from the carton during the day, only I'd stand next to the freezer with the freezer door open and I'd take a spoonful and put it back.
