    I stopped eating a majority of processed foods
    And when eating out I'll pick healthier options like falafel and hummus.
    I am now attempting to stop eating weekly saturday night meal of pizza (which isn't that calorific but I need to keep making cut backs)
    I'd eat foods I wouldn't particularly like just for convience such as pot noodles and highly processed foods.
    I've always liked eating healthy though, and I feel a lot better now that I am.

    I try to still eat a lot of what I like, but in moderation. I almost NEVER eat fast food anymore or out at chain restaurants. Those things are like special "treats" to me and if I do eat at those places I look up the calories before hand and do my best to fit it into my calories for the day. Also as far as fast food goes I no longer eat at any of the burger chains either I only eat taco bell and subway. I have also cut way back on sweets because I could eat tons of cookies, cupcakes, cakes, ice cream and not even care. I try very hard not to deprive myself because then that's when binge eating comes into play and that's never a good thing for me.

    This was a frequent lunch:
    Dairy Queen Double cheeseburger with mayo - sometimes 2!
    Large fries or onion rings
    Large Reese's or M&M's Blizzard

    And that would be after eating 2 Hardee's steak biscuits for breakfast.

    And then a drive home 'snack' of some fast food (maybe another large Blizzard, maybe McDonald's nuggets (20))

    And then dinner would be more fast food...probably KFC 3pc Original Meal with mashed potatoes and mac & cheese.

    Wow...I can't believe I used to eat this much in one day.

    Realizing the pint of ben and jerry's was not a serving size was a hard, hard day.

    Cookies/Biscuits - I could easily work my way through an entire pack of Oreos
    Crisps - could finish an entire tube of Pringles easily
    Chips/Fries - MY UTTER WEAKNESS, I love them crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, dipped in ketchup
    Bread - my other weakness, in the form of sandwiches, toast, more sandwiches, more toast...
    Huge stacks of pancakes/French toast
    Rice and pasta - not entirely unhealthy, but I would have mega-sized portions

    There's lots more but I can't seem to think of them...

    Well I do remember sitting and eating like 4 oz of cheese at once instead of 1 oz so that was a big problem of mine. or 3 cups of icecream instead of .5 to 1 cup

    I used to make big plates of no yolks egg noodles, and dollop margarine on them, then sprinkle with parmesan cheese and salt. It was so freaking good when I wanted nothing else. I also have to avoid dipping ridgies chips in chocolate ice cream. One taste and I can't stop. I still sometimes have those noodles, just not near as much. I'm a picky eater and still trying to learn how to eat right. Everything else I can control myself on, and if I get out of hand with it, I restrict it from my diet for a long time. Then I'm ok again.

    I haven't cut out any of the foods I like. I still eat what I want, just much much less of it.

    Proportions used to be crazy high and not really realizing it. Like two oreos is a serving size. I could easily eat 10 of those with milk. When you look at the serving size of foods you realize why and how those calories can add up really fast despite "not eating much"/

    This. I still eat the foods I like but instead of wolfing down almost a quarter of say, a key lime pie or chocolate truffle cake and washing it down with milk, I slowly enjoy a small slice. Still gotta have the milk though...

    Old Chicago's Meat Me Large Deep Dish Pizza.

    l.jpg

    I'd down about 3 slices: 3,215 calories.

    And that was after the mozzerella sticks and caprese salad.

    That looks so nice

    OH YES THAT LOOKS LUSH!

    This is just cruel. :wink:

    Oh goodness...when I sit and think about it, its a wonder why I'm not 300+ pounds to begin with! I have a better metabolism than I thought! ;) Let's see....there are these scotcharoos (600cals) at Casey's General Store that are to die for. I could easily eat one with my 2 donuts(250 cals each) from there for breakfast! Not to mention the candy...the m&m's 'shareable' package that I'd share maybe 3-5 with my 2 kids? The list goes on and on!

    I used to order the big mouth bites, and an order of skillet queso and chips from Chili's for lunch once a week.

    2120 calories for the big mouth bites, 1710 for the skillet queso, and that was just lunch!!!!!

    No wonder I was huge! Even now with working out 10+ hours a week I don't eat that many calories in a whole day!
