    I got fat eating mostly homegrown foods, but sometimes when I think of the foods I used to eat, and enjoy, as a child it makes me cringe. Bologna, deviled ham, Spam, frozen Salisbury steak, Hamburger Helper, TV dinners, trans fats out the wazoo, just so much non-food food.

    A whole pizza (market pantry, spinach and goat cheese), jalapeno poppers (with cream cheese filling), doritos, a pint of Ben & Jerry's NY Super Fudge Chunk, and, of course, diet coke...in one sitting...

    Yes, it was pathological. Still working on it.

    Lol thanks for reminding me of exactly my childhood!

    I've always been petty skinny, but I could take down a totinos party pizza and like a bag of chips.

    Late night toast sessions - easily six slices of toast, thickly spread with plant oil spreads and peanut butter. Well - bread is good for you, right?
    - oh and the reason? - I'm carbing up for the morning session tomorrow - yeah right!

    I still eat everything I used to, just not in abundance.

    I used to eat entire pizzas on my own.
    I used to go to two or three different fast food joints to create my own three course meals.
    I could eat an entire large bag of Doritos sweet spicy chili with a jar of Tostitos spinach dip in a sitting.
    I could eat an entire XXL Hershey bar with almonds. I'm talking the HUGE one.
    Once a week I'd buy brownie mix. I'd prepare it according to the box, then sit down at my computer and eat the batter with a large spoon. An entire box of batter.

    I have no idea how I made it to 410 lbs without any peers (parents, doctors etc) mentioning it. I was bullied throughout childhood and most of young adulthood but I really, honestly didn't know WHY I was because I didn't view my eating habits as abnormal. Funny thing is no one of importance called me out on my weight until I started losing it.

    87 lbs down so far and it's nice to know I can control my future.
    Great job! I find it interesting noone cares to say anything until you want to change and be healthy and then they want you to be as you always were before. It makes it tough sometimes.

    I used to just slice cheese, put it on a plate, microwave it and eat it with a fork. Like, several times a week.

    That is pretty bad.

    but delicious

    where to even start

    Burger King and McDonalds, Wendy's twice a day.

    huge chocolate bars in one sitting, ice cream pints in one day, (the small containers that have four servings per container.)

    too many to list really...

    Entire box of crackers (like Chicken in a Biskit or some such) with an entire can of Easy Cheese. Also I'd stuff croissants with potato salad and eat it like a sandwich; like 3 or 4 at a time. WTH?

    I used to go to sheetz and get a two pack of entenmenns chocolate donuts, tasty kake cream filled ho hos, cherry pepsi, and sometimes a chocolate bar, or kitkat, or reeses cup. Id sit and try to eat it all before I got home so I could hide the evidence on the drive home which was about 5 minutes. Before that I was addicted to sheetz chocolate chip cookies and had to eat two two packs a day. Before that hostess cream in the middle muffin things ( which I cannot eat anymore bc they are nasty tasting to me now). Lets see hald jars of nutella just huge spponfuls or sandwiches. Pb half jars. Half or whole packages of oreos. Whole portions of cakes cookies or brownies earen all day til gone.

    A few years ago, I declared Friday's "Cheesecake Friday". I would get home from work on Friday, make a cheesecake, and I would have the whole thing eaten by the next day. Not even kidding. My boyfriend would wake up in the night and bust me eating it.
    Now I have an occasional slice, not an entire cake.

    I also used to eat so much bread and peanut butter. I would easily have 8 pieces of toast with peanut butter, and would drown it down with huge glasses of milk. I easily ate my days calories in just peanut butter toast. Probably more actually.
    I still eat it, just not quite so piggishly.

    I only got this far, but wanted to say that I did this too!! I gave up dairy for the Whole 30 last year and it broke my habit. I think I've done it once in the past year.

    I used to mix a whole pint of sour cream with a packet of lipton onion soup mix and eat it for dinner with a jumbo bag of sour cream and onion chips. Eating a whole Domino's pizza was also a regular occurrence.

    Oh... and 3-4 egg and cheese on a bagel sandwiches from a deli near my house when I was in college. I could eat all 3-4 within like half an hour.

    I would fill a bowl up with a lot of ice cream & pile it either a lot of cereal, ten cookies, two or three brownies, or two or three pieces of cake. Or when I ate ten candy bars.

    Here's mine.. We love turkey or chicken. Made my own homemade dressing , put dressing between thick slices of bread and then cover the whole thing with tons of gravy with extra butter on the top. I too would eat a entire roll of cookie dough in one sitting. I'm now 62 lbs lighter and 21 to go, but get nervous with Thanksgiving around the corner. I can't believe I was ok with that way of eating. Felt so ashamed afterward, but ready to do again next time. Thank God for MFP..

    I'm so curious about this one...what was the point of the "extra butter on the top"? Could you even taste it? It just seems like the kind of thing that the gravy flavor would cancel that out, so I'm just wondering why put it, or was there an actual improvement in the taste?


    No, In those days, I thought I had to put it on everything. Glad those days are done....

    I used to eat only TV dinners. The cheap Banquet ones too. No wonder I had stomach aches every day.

    My biggest weakness is box cake, like Betty Crocker. If I made a funfetti cake with funfetti frosting I would eat 2/3 of it within 24 hours and my hubby was lucky if he got any.

    I love Taco Bell but I haven't been there in months because I can't make the macros work for me at only 1300 calories a day. I would drop 1000-1500 calories easy on lunch there, and I only maintain on 1700-1800 a day.

    If I bought a "theater box" of Candy at Walgreens (or 3) I would eat it all within hours.

    My bike rode off with any qualms I ever developed about eating "unhealthy" things... portioning aside, I'll still eat all the same things I used to.

    About 12 Weissbiers. Regularly. Now if I have six - which I did the other night - I pay for it the next day.

    Well, everything I used to eat I STILL eat. So... nothing.

    This, except for pickles. When I was in my teens, I used to get crazy pickle cravings and would sometimes eat an entire jar. I think I ate so many that my body got sick of them - I'm not a fan anymore. I don't dislike them, but I don't seek them out either.
