    I remember in junior high I used to have a Hostess blueberry pie AND a Blue Bell ice cream sandwich every day for lunch. And I was a size zero. Oh how times have changed.

    I remember going on trips in high school with jazz band an we would eat afterwards, usually at McDonalds. I remember several times I would get a Big Mac meal, large size it and then get a 20 piece McNugget. And I always drank regular Coke. Always.

    I started to look at how many calories that would have been, but got scared after just the Big Mac.

    I also rememeber in college making ramen noodles, draining the water and adding mayo, cheese, crushed up bacon and green onions.

    All during college it was a 6-pack of cherry cokes every day.

    And usually a pint (yes, the whole pint) of Hagen Daas ice cream on most days.

    With some form of fast food/junk food for every meal. Lol, it was waaaaayy more than "freshman 15" for me.

    I used to do this same thing minus the mayo, but with 2 slices of american cheese. Sadly I was doing this less than a year ago. Holy sodium!!!

    I was very active in high school, and once college can I became very lazy. But what I used to eat was...

    1. A cup of oreos stacked (so like 6 or so), and poured milk over them, and ate them all with a spoon
    2. Everyday at lunch some girls and I would just buy fries and eat them at lunch. Or chicken nuggets, or fried chicken sandwiches.
    3. Senior year we would go out to eat fast food everyday for lunch, (Checkers, Taco Bell, KFC, etc. )
    4. Lots of sweets, desserts, etc.

    Never had to count calories and was always pretty satisfied with my body image... and now I need to get my *kitten* together and count calories! It's annoying but I hope to get down to a weight that i can be happy at. :)

    Oh man, chips and onion dip were my go-to snack in college. Also, peppermint patties from the freezer.

    I've never been able to eat like that without consequences. I was always chubby as a kid even though we rarely had soda or fast food, and I was never a binge eater. Y'all are lucky. However, my eating habits did get worse in college when my parents weren't around to control what I ate, and it seemed like I went from chubby to fat almost overnight.

    I remember watching a TV show once where this college professor was talking to one of his students, who was eating a huge bowl of ice cream. The professor laughed and said "I remember when I used to be able to eat like that. Then, for my 30th birthday, God slipped a tire around my waist." Yep, that's pretty much how it happens.

    My friends and I used to stop in at 7-Eleven before school for Super Big Gulps of (regular) Coke. I'd mainline Coca Cola all day eat a pack of Reese's Peanutbutter Cups for lunch. And that was it. I was 5'10, 125 pounds. Ah, the good ol' days....

    I was in good shape in high school due to playing soccer and doing marching band.

    I would eat at McD's or Burger King at least 5 times a week because it was easier than driving the 15 minutes home between practices.

    I would also (and did this on occasion up until a year or two ago :embarassed: ) grab a bag of chocolate chips and eat half a bag to get a chocolate fix.

    Oh, and in college we'd get those packages of Toll House cookie dough and each eat one.
