How bad did you used to be?

I used to eat a whopper with cheese with a regular coke for lunch and then eat maybe another 1000 calories for dinner.

I used to be really really really bad. Drinking coke everyday, drinking it like water, I have cut back a lot but i still have a coke here and there.

I used to eat until i was super full and couldn't move and then 10 mins later i would eat again. Fast food, anything really.

Even though i crave mcdonalds or any type of fast food... I just go eat an apple or any fruit!

Back in the 70's I had a Dr. Pepper habit that was huge. It use to come in 16 oz glass bottles and I would drink 2 6-packs a day...sometimes more.

Tortilla Chips are my big down fall...a whole bag and a container of pica de gallo could be gone in about a 1/2 hour. Tim's Sea Salt & Vinager chips..a whole bag at a time. I don't really have a sweet tooth...I like crunchy and salty.

And then there was Skippers all you can eat Fish & Chips...10 pieces of fish But hey I only had a few chips and only 1 cup of the clam chowder. lol

I think my biggest feat of eating was at the Chewelah Casnio All you can eat Seafood Buffet. 12 king crab legs (and they were big ones), salmon, shrimp, steamer clams, salad and a few other things....I thought my hubby was going to have to cart me out of there in a wheel barrow. :embarassed:

Bump

Two double quarter pounders with extra cheese, large fries, a large mcflurry, then go to taco bell for a quadsteak...

now i can barely finish a plate of healthy food.

I was very bad. A Taco Bell trip would consist of a chili cheese burrito with sour cream, a meximelt with sour cream, an enchirito with extra cheese, and a mexican pizza with extra meat, extra cheese and sour cream, all washed down with a giant fruit punch. TGIF? An order of tostado nachos (all to myself) AND a brownie obsession. Can you imagine my face when I started cal counting and found out how many cals that is? It's like 2700+ cals! And that would be just one meal of the day!
I would eat whole pots of mac and cheese by myself. One time I even had another pasta dish on the stove cooking while I devoured the mac and cheese, and then proceeded to polish off the noodles Stroganoff right after. I've always had an over-developed appetite.
As a kid the adults would look at each other, shake their heads and say, "where does she put it all?" I was born severely premature, and now since I work with newborns I know how prematurity can affect their ability to eat. But not me. My mother tells stories of me sitting there as a baby sucking baby food through an infa-feeder (basically a bottle nipple with a large hole). To this day she tells everyone how I would SSSSLLLLUUUUURRRRPPPP the food so loud she's say to me, "slow down, chile, it ain't goin nowhere." Lol!

I still eat like that, sometimes. Just check out my diary. It's definitely a struggle for me. Prior to having kids I was fortunate to be the kind of person who could eat like a glutton and still have a rockin' figure. But that's just a bit different now. ok, a LOT different. (smh).

I'm getting better. But old habits die hard, so it's definitely a battle for me.

I'd eat a whole oreo tray in a day, most of it in a sitting. I could also eat an entire large bag of m&ms. Pretty much everything

I could eat an entire pizza in one sitting. I'd wash it down with Diet Coke, of course, because who needs all those extra calories? I'm sure I still could eat an entire pizza; I just know better now. Haha!

KFC 2-piece feed (with gravy instead of potato and gravy) for lunch - 932 calories
4 slices of cheese pizza for dinner - about 970 calories
4 Tim Tams after dinner - 620 calories

Okay, this didn't always happen but it certainly happened more than once! ~2500 calories, and that doesn't include breakfast or any other snacks during the day. Ick.

I was reading this thread but it's making me too hungry so I have to stop! :explode:
