I used to be able to eat a half a Papa Murphy's Family Size stuffed pizza by myself. Now, I can MAX 2 slices. *flexes muscles*
I'm not proud of this, but I used to (regularly) order and eat potato wedges, chicken strips, a large pizza and a tub of ice cream, from Pizza Hut. I always planned to eat the wedges and strips one night, and the pizza the next. never happened. and when pizzas were on bogoff, i used to order 2, planning to eat one, save one. nup, that never happened either. I am such a pig!
I'm not proud of myself...but I have days where I can eat the world. Like, disgustingly huge amounts of food. Not sure how it all fits in there...but yeah. Kinda gross.
Same here. Then, once the eat-the-world feeling wears off, I feel so disgustingly sick/full and my stomach feels like it wants to pop, and I wonder how I could have gotten to this point of fullness without feeling the discomfort beforehand. I have no idea how it happens! It's like my stomach goes numb for a while, then suddenly feels everything at once.
Yep that is definitely me!
I'm surprised that so many people can relate! I always feel so much guilt and self-disgust afterwards and all alone.

I came home and binge-ate a giant cookie, handfuls of special K cereal straight from the box, a couple slices of lunchmeat, and a homemade peanut butter nut bar. And probably other food I've forgotten about. Oops! There went that day
This sounds very familiar to me. I may have done it once or twice a few hundred times.0 -

I already wear a mouth guard thingy because I grind my teeth at night, so I'm a little too thrilled that he will have to wear one too. Really I'm hoping that it helps with his awful snoring.
Please let me know if this does work because Mr. Mo snores like a freight train carrying a pod of humpback whales using chainsaws.
Bahahaha! I'm lucky in the fact that both my husband and I are silent sleepers, I guess.
I sleep like the dead. No noise. No movement. And not much bothers me. I can sleep through alarms and loud noises and terrible storms.
This is my sister. I, on the other hand, am a VERY restless sleeper. I toss and turn like crazy, and the lightest sound can usually wake me up. It stinks, since I'd love to have uninterrupted sleep.

No one here will hate you, but that's not the way to gain self-control.0 -
I eat straight out of the container ALL THE TIME. Also, I can down a pint of ice cream like nobody's business.
This is why I HAVE to use my food scale and a separate container. If I sit down with the container in hand, it is empty when I get back up. One of the hardest habits to break for me. Good luck.
Likewise. I hate paying for single serve portions because the cost per ___ is sooo much higher. But it does help me keep my portion controls in check.0 -

You aren't a 'pig'. This is purely emotional eating. That is different. I have never been much if a binge eater, but rather someone who eats a good amount of really fattening food and can eat it all day long. And sweets. But, I have never been able to eat more than like 4 pieces of pizza and then I am SO STUFFED!
I rarely get the 'im getting full' signals when i eat, except as @Susieq_1994 describes, after eating everything, then my stomach is groaning in pain. But i don't have the normal brain signals that tell me i've had enough
This reminds me of that show that was on the Beeb a few months ago (with that Dr Chris Tuleken chap??) about 3 different types of eaters and specific 'diets' to suit them. One group was the over-eaters who literally didn't get the hormone signal telling them they were full like most people did. Apparently it was a scientifically measurable thing. I take these TV science things with a pinch of salt, but I have known people like that. I think the solution for the over-eaters was a low GI diet since it was meant to be very filling and to sort out hormonal issues. It sounds a difficult problem to have!
I'm more of a grazer. I rarely eat a large meal, but I'd happily eat crap food 6 times a day and gradually put myself 1000+ calories over where I should be, yet never consume more than 200 calories in one go. The solution they put forward for people like me was the 5:2 fasting which is seriously not happening. I found switching snacks for fruit and a little bit of cheese far more effective!0 -
I'm still working on getting caught up.
I went on a walk at lunch yesterday with a co-worker so that was good. I'm thinking about walking again today.
I have today and then half a day tomorrow for work so I'm in vacation mode already. This weekend I have my Red Rocks concerts so I'm really excited (Pretty Lights Friday and Saturday). Hopefully no one laughs at me since I'm older but I bought jewels for my face so I'm going to put those on and I have Glowbys for my hair (fiber optic glow barrettes for hair). I'm just going to have fun. I'll try to post a pic in the batcave from my phone later of my trial run of the jewels to see what you guys think.
Friday morning we are going to Original Pancake house. Strawberry waffles and home fries here I come. Yay.
Cool! I used to be a raver and did all the decked out gear at one time. I've been an EDM DJ for over 5 years. I remember when Pretty Lights was just an up-and-coming midliner. Now he headlines all of his shows. Do you by chance like Bassnectar? He is always doing shows at RR.0 -

Mr. Hannah snores so loudly that even the guys he goes hunting with complain.
This may take a while. He was supposed to make a dentist appointment during his two weeks out and I don't think that's happened.0 -

Stress can do a number on you. It can show up on the scale and how you feel about that number. If the stress is bad enough, you won't care what the scale says. Just try and focus on keeping to your macros. Maybe pre log for a few days and try to keep on track?0 -

I see a very impressive bicep picture. Which (don't stone me) I prefer over the Wonder Woman.
It resets to that every day. I like it, too. But when I change my pic, I want it to stay changed. That's the part that is really perturbing, not the photo itself.
Plus, that bicep is months old. I like to think they are even more impressive now.
I'm going to need to see picture proof of that. I took a new bicep pic the other day, but you've already seen it. I was quite proud.

I'd be thrilled to find something to help my husband's snoring! OMG, it's awful!!
More than once I have been commended for my lack of snoring. I guess my past girlfriends had been with some real log sawing fellas. I'm a very light snorer at best. Even my 10 year old snores louder than me.
Do you hear that ladies? Non-snorer here...
Another sign of old age is that non-snoring has become a very attractive quality in a partner.
Yes, I've been with some really loud fellas in my time. Actually, I can only think of one who was a quiet sleeper. Which sucks because I'm a chronic insomniac.
One of my exes also had restless leg syndrome so I got kicked in addition to the racket.0 -

YES to all of this.
Yup! I become the human form of an anaconda after a meal. Just give me a bed to lay down in so I can digest this food.0 -
To jump in on the McD convo: I used to get their sausage & egg biscuit, then add cheese to it (sorry @peleroja ). I also love their fruit & yogurt parfaits. Not too many calories, but quite tasty. I consider it a dessert for my biscuit sandwich.
Also, sometimes I just really want a McD's cheeseburger. The little one. I almost never actually spend 400+ calories on that little bugger, but yeah. That's the only non-breakfast thing I'll eat there, along with a hot fudge sundae. Heh
Confession. I haaate the word parfait. Not sure why.... but it could be the best thing on earth and I wouldn't order it if I had to say the name when ordering.
So you wouldn't order a peanut buster parfait from DQ because of the word "parfait"?! I do not understand this logic.
I don't go to DQ but IF I were to go and order that specifically, I would probably say something like 'peanut butter thing' while waving my finger towards where it's listed on their menu. Much like Wawa's 'sizzli' menu. I hate that word as well.
I'm not sure why I hate it other than it just sounds silly to me. I want to punch both of them.
Not peanut butter, peanut buster.
OR you could skip having to say the dreaded "P word" and just order a buster bar.
That peanut BUSTER looks great. Which reminds me I tried the Talenti chocolate PB a few weeks back and it was pretty darn good. Chocolate Brownie was VERY good. I'm still trying to scrub that brand from my memory and temptations...0 -
Ugh, I'm quoted way back in the peanut buster thread and so I keep getting notifications that you guys are STILL TALKING ABOUT PEANUTS AND I CAN'T HAVE ANY AND IT'S MAKING ME SAD. Hahaha.0

I kept thinking that was wrong but I couldn't remember what else it could be. Buster...Thanks for clearing that up.

My confession? I don't eat pork anymore (for a variety of reasons) and haven't done for about 15 years. The thing i miss the most? McDonald's sausage, egg and cheese mcmuffin.
A life without Canadian bacon, or regular bacon for that matter is scary lol.
May I ask the reasons?
I really dislike bacon.
The reasons are mostly, because improperly cooked pork can give you worms. And I had too many bouts, so i said no more. I only ever got them after eating pork. (and yes, i know you can get them from other things, and worse things from other meats). But touch wood, since not eating pork, i never had them again.
and also, i'm not really keen on the texture (i don't eat turkey or fish for the same reasons)
I haven't eaten pork since I was around 7 or 8 years old. It's a texture thing.
I have vivid memories of sitting at the dinner table with a wad of chewed pork chop in my mouth that I absolutely could not swallow.
I have never liked bacon. DD had a maple bacon donut on the menu today. I think that is weird. I don't get the bacon fascination.
The aroma, the flavor, the fact you can add it to any edible thing imaginable and it becomes even better than without. I looove me some bacon.
With that being said, I haven't had any in a few months.

I know it's still months away, but I just love that time of year so much...the weather, the fun decorations, the candy, picking out our son's costume and trick or treating with him! He woke up this morning telling me he wants to be a French fry this year. He was a piece of pizza last year!! His first Halloween, he was Superman. Second one, he was a dinosaur, and then last year was the pizza. I'll post pictures in the batcave later. I get ridiculously excited about picking out his costume and I will be pumped if I can find a French fry for him!
I used to really like Halloween. I do like seeing the kids out trick or treating. But now I avoid being home...I always forget to get candy, or if I do I have SO MUCH and I end up giving it away at work so I don't have to eat it. I have friends and sisters who go all out even as adults. But I definitely want to see your pictures! I would think making a french fry would be kind of easy? Not sure though...
I enjoy Halloween for the festive part of dressing up and all of the spooky stuffs that goes along with it but I haaate that my daughter always rakes in a boatload of candy. When she goes to her moms I make her take the candy with her cuz I know her mom and grandma will do some serious damage to the supply. If it stays at my house it will torment me until I give in.0 -

Yep, I know this feeling as well. Every time it happens I always think, this is awful and I will never do this again. And yet, it always happens again...
Yes! It reminds me of being young and stupid drinking too much, getting hung over and swearing to never drink again. But then what do you know, the next weekend...there you are again drinking.0 -
