Ugh, I just read the past 4 pages and I thought 'I didn't have very many bad habits... Hang on fatty yes you did.'
I'm a firm believer in honesty so here it goes.
Ben and Jerry's Phish Food Ice cream, 1 container in 2 days.
Chocolate chip cookies, whole package 2 days.
Cheese. Never enough cheese. (From Wisconsin, ya'know)
Fruit Smiles Fruit snacks, jumbo value size box in 4-5 days.
Buffalo Wings, so many buffalo wings.
Fried Chicken, mine or KFC.
McDonalds food! Jalapeno doubles, McChickens, Big Macs, Habenero Ranch Quarter Pounders, Medium Fries, Buffalo Ranch McChickens, Caramel Frappes and omg Shamrock Shakes
Fritos Flamin' Hot cheetos, 1 bag in 1 sitting
Pasta dishes with alfredo sauce especially. Never enough pasta.
Fried Pickles.
I think that's it. That's at least stuff I did regularly or went through cycles with.
Also no portion control whatsoever. Boyfriend is 6'3 and eats like a moose because he moves/works more/harder than I do and I'm like "Well, if he can I can too!' Uh.. No, you can't, Sam.
Now I have a food scale and a fridge full of veggies which I love. I'm sorry veggies I didn't mean to leave you! I also have portion control now for my favorite things. Feels good man, feels good.0 -
Normal McDonald's meals was 10 piece nugget meal large drunk and a mcdouble. On more than one occasion I upped it to 20 piece.
Dunkin donuts was big and toasted, donut, and medium iced coffee.
A few times a week. Ugh. Makes me sick just thinking about it. Over a thousand calories for each meal.0 -
Half a pan of brownies... in less than 2 hours. No wonder I have the gut I do. And a whole half gallon of ice cream in a different afternoon. Chocolate is my addiction.0

Hmm...well, where to begin. I could drink a liter of wine a night, every night for about a year (alcoholic much?) I can eat a pizza myself, a box of cookies, a tub of ice cream etc etc. I've had terrible eating habits and I think it's because I reach for food when I'm stressed, mad, upset, bored etc. Now I'm counting my calories quite carefully using MFP and have lost about 17 lbs.0

Two mcdoubles and a large fry0

Just too much. Yep0
-
by using this logic for everything...
Hungry for plate of fries
Make plate of fries
Accidentally put too much ketchup on fries
Make more fries to offset ketchup fry ratio
Not enough ketchup now
Add more ketchup
Accidentally add too much ketchup
Make more fries
repeat until no ketchup remains0 -

Me too.0 -
Going to a restaurant and eating a family-size dessert (all to myself) instead of getting an actual meal0

I can eat an entire bag,box,jar, of about anything you give me! When I have bad days now I still force myself to log so I can see the numbers for myself, it makes me think twice about stuff I eat

I blamed the additional 25 lbs on baby weight, until my baby turned 3 and I realized that ship had long since sailed.
I look back and think no wonder I kept putting on weight. I did good during the day. I drank plenty of water, and never ate out for lunch, always bringing fruit, a sandwich, other sensible foods. When I got home it was an eating and soda drinking fest from about 530 pm til 10 pm. I would literally snack the entire time I made dinner (usually chips), eat two full plates of whatever I had cooked, and right before bed have a huge glass of chocolate milk and a sweet such as 6 cookies, huge brownie, sometimes both. Looking back, I can't believe I ate that much and wondered where the weight was coming from every morning that I weighed and saw the number creep up.0 -
My weakness is both pizza and ice cream and always has been. I try to just stay clear of both because it's very hard for me to limit myself.0
-
When I lived at home I would go to the convenience store and pick up several chocolate bars, fundip, and nerds. Sneak them into the house, and pig out on them down in the basement where no one would see.
After moving out there were times where I ate out for every meal. My subway lunches alone would probably be 1100+ calories.0 -
A full box of angel hair or thin speghtti pasta. Raw. Ate it right out of the box, like chips.
And booze. Microbrews and Malbec for days.0 -
10 beers and super nachos 3-4Xs per week. Yeah....0
-
Getting a small Coffee Coolatta with 2 glazed donuts every morning or a grande Caramel Frappucino with 2 birthday cake pops. And sometimes I would get 2 Coolattas a day. Dunkin' Donuts/Starbucks used to be an addiction0

I could still eat a whole pint of Ben & Jerry's if I REALLY wanted to ;-)0

I thought the metabolism I had at 18 would be with me forever!0

It's crazy how much young people burn. When I was 12-20, I'd eat a medium pizza to myself, no problem. Or two poutines from Harvey's for lunch, no problem. My weight was dead-centre normal the whole time. I only started gaining - and massively at that - in my mid-20s, after a bout of a medication. I lost that weight. Then, I gained again (less this time) when I started my restaurant tour. (Then I regained a little bit again after I was injured). the end0 -
Large portions of everything for supper, fast food lunches, and lots of beer and the many dips I would make and eat with chips, I use to say I was a dip addict.0
