    There was a period in which I ate mcdonalds 2-3 times a week. Not great.

    When I was in high school I learned how to make peanut butter fudge in the microwave (mixing powdered sugar, salted butter, peanut butter, and vanilla extract) and soon was able to do so without exact measurements in "individual" (entire bowl) servings, and got in the habit of eating it every night.
    It was pretty bad.
    Within a year I managed to gain close to 20 pounds, probably mainly as a result of this.

    10-12 See's candies/truffles in one sitting. I'd polish off the whole box in a matter of a couple days. A 1/2 gallon of ice cream (12 servings) used to be 3 servings for me and was gone in a day and a half. A batch of chocolate chip cookies - I would eat 6 cookies worth in dough before the cookies even hit the oven, and 4 or 5 more with milk after they came out. Don't even get me started on the Halloween candy...

    I used to inhale eight chili cheese dogs so fast that I've been told I should enter the Nathan's contest. No regrets though. It was fun eating whatever I wanted without accountability, but I'm getting older and need to look out for my health now.

    I must say I haven't "cut out" any specific foods/food groups as that's what I did before, and always failed.

    But I used to manage a whole SLAB of chocolate by myself without feeling sick or anything!! Also a family size bag of crisps was an easy target. I can now manage to just have a handful of crips and haven't actually had any chocolate/not craved it at all. A slice of pizza?? noooooo I ate the whole thing and actually waited with baited breath to see if my son finished all his food.... now thats shameful!

    My two low points: One eating so much junk until I felt my stomach "tear" and it hurt for about 1-2 years after that. And the second was a more recent one: 2 medium pizzas in one sitting (yep...I'm pathetic....)

    Wow, really? That can happen?

    A guy on Atkins diet that I know ate pork rinds dipped in mayonnaise. (Just seeing this makes me turn away)

    I backed way off the 4 piece dark meat fried chicken plate.

    An entire chocolate in one sitting. I'm talking 100 grams, or close to 600 calories.

    Sounds like me, except I did this with 200 gram bars. AT LEAST once a week, and had no problems eating the entire thing.

    Well, not me, but a friend of mine used to take 2x200g chocolate bars and spread nutella in between and eat as a sandwich!

    I try to save calories for the things i start craving, seems to work well :)

    Haha, 100g chocolate bars are nothing. I would feel a bit sick afterwards, depends on the chocolate, but I don't think it's really that much. If I really want chocolate, I just eat less at lunch and dinner time and make room for 600kcals of chocolate.

    I still LOVE mac and cheese but would eat almost an entire box in one sitting! One serving is 400 calories, and the entire box would make about three servings! That's 1200 calories! What was I thinking?
    Now I can eat about half to three quarters of a serving and some yummy raw vegetables and feel full.

    I grew up eating very healthy food until I was 23- I was put off by butter as a kid, so the first time I tried it, I was 15, and did not go near cheese until I was 18 or so (it smelled "funny"). I put on a lot of weight during my master's just by not looking at labels, and that changed as soon as I had to change my entire wardrobe. It was a one-trial-learning experience.
    Since then my cooking skills have gone out the roof, I make restaurant quality food at home. About a year ago while watching Top Chef, I came to a realization: I can make ANYTHING taste amazing if you give me sugar and butter as staples in my pantry. And the fatty parts of animals. And cream And carbs. Using fat and sugar, I can make miracles in less than 20 minutes. In fact, I have done so- for pot luck dinner parties: I go to the store, and buy really good quality ingredients and make lemon-curd cream cheese cakes- 7 layers and all. Compared to the healthy food I cook, that is ridiculously cheap (butter, eggs, creamcheese, i can make a 20-slice cake for 7 or 8 dollars).
    Now try making something really good for you and really tasty:
    A-) price goes up (at least where we live).
    B-) It is far more difficult (IMO challenging is always more fun).
    Now when I watch Top Chef I kind of sneer. I think- sure your soup tastes amazing in 30 minutes, you added a pint of cream in there, and butter, and bacon...Try building up flavors dammit!
    Needless to say, DH has lost 20lbs, and does not feel he ever compromised on food, just with the cooking challenge.

    McDonalds (and/or Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, etc) at least once a day, usually twice - Every. Single. Day.

    Haven't gone near any of it in 6 years.
    Yes!! Every night after work, A double big mac meal used to be supper. Or Pizza Pizza. C'mon you could get a med. peperoni pizza for $5 to feed hubby and I. Cheaper than cooking. Now I treat myself to Mcdonalds a couple of times a month and have SMALL fries, and a cheeseburger dressed like a mac. mmm mmm Love that Mac sauce.

    I have a weakness for plain, low-salt Lays as I've always found the regular ones too salty. I could easily eat an entire bag in one sitting - so I avoid buying them. If they are around, I measure myself out a portion and eat them slowly, savoring each bite and I find I'm satisfied before all the chips are gone.

    At my low point when I was binging near constantly I could eat an entire bag of cheddar popcorn, an entire box of mac and cheese or a tony's party pizza all by myself and then go on to eat more through the night. I was doing this 4x a week if not more.

    Also I'd eat whole boxes of hamburger helper and mac and cheese by myself, bags of chips. At one point I'd get mcdonald's for lunch which was a six piece chicken mcnugget, a large fry and like a milkshake or a coke eat that, and then go to Chipotle for dinner get a MASSIVE burrito with almost everything on it (Looking at you sour cream) and a bag of chips with guac and eat that all by myself. Also I'd put LOADS of coffee creamer in my coffee.

    While I can still eat large amounts of food if I really wanted to, I've scaled back A TON with what I eat (Aside from the mac and cheese, I'm still guilty of doing that once and a while.) It's embarassing to write that out. No wonder I gained so much weight.

    McDonalds Big Breakfast on the way to work.

    Then snacks at work, obviously.

    Then a pub lunch, 4 sausages and chips, with a pint of pepsi normal.

    Then snacks at work in the afternoon of course.

    Then a KFC on the way home, normally 3 pieces of chicken and 2 large fries.

    Then cans of pepsi at home that night.

    .....

    Over 5000 calories...a day...5 days a week....
