Time to Confess!!!!

I have noticed that I was able to "share" some horific details about my eating habits in a couple of the threads that I posted.  Telling others that I once ate a whole slab of ribs and a quart of Chinese Food two days in a row was cathartic and cleansing in a way I had never expressed myself.  Just posting my weight and picture for all to see has somehow lifted a burden from me.  I think I feel like "telling all" now, and coming clean on a few other things.

Oh, the things we do...

1. I found this great chinese place that had egg rolls for .29 cents each.  I would go in and buy 10 egg rolls to go, but have them put in two separate bags to appear that it was for two people.   I would be sure to ask for two sets of plasticware and sweet and sour sauce before heading off to devour them.
2. I recently photo "edited" the picture that is in my profile to cut out that big belly.  I had recently got in touch with an old co-worker who had not seen me in 10 years, so I sent him the new and improved version.  Above the waist only!
3. I had to submit a career bio page for a work related meeting.  I took the company issued headshot and "stretched" it digitally just a little to thin out my cheeks, lol.
4. This one Wendy's drive through tried to improve their customer service by having a real person stand outside next to the drive through order thingy so that you could place your order with a real person instead of talking to a squawk box.  I was so flummoxed my the thought of having to list off all that food I was going to order to a real person I reduced my order out of shame.  It is so much easier to order all that food if you only have to see the person at the window long enough to pay and drive off...
5. I have thought about food while having sex.  I seriously could NOT get my mind off food, I was that hungry.
6. My usual drive-through binge may have included six or eight tacos, a couple of Jumbo Jacks and seasoned curly fries from Jack in the box and yes I ate it all.  Another memorable overload was a Double Whopper with Cheese, Fish Sandwich, large fries, Chicken Fingers, and pie.  And yes, I ate all that at once too.  

 Well, putting that out there felt kind of shameful, but also kind of good.  Thank you.

  

 

Oh boy, I bet a few of us have some gruesome confessions like this.  In the bad old days, I had this thing for bowls of mashed potatoes... And those monster size Jamba Juices. At the same meal.

Here's to better choices nowadays.

Oy, I feel you-I used to be a HUGE binger...but for some reason this past month my binge urges have literally disappeared.  As for me, I think my most memorable one is as follows...

One large veggie pizza
One apple cobbler (yes, a whole apple cobbler)
Pasta
Chocolate Bar
Ice Cream

There was probably more...but I don't recall-I do recall the three days of sickness that followed.  I threw up for two days, had diaherria and fainted.  Thank God it was a three day weekend so I could recoup.  The sad thing is it took me another year and a half to stop binging. 

That felt good-I never told anyone about the binge or the real reason I got sick.  I still can't believe I ate that much.

I've gotten into a LOT of trouble with fried chicken, entire bags of potato chips, whole wedges of cheese, sticks of pepperoni and packages of already-cooked bacon.

Nowadays I just eat a ridiculous amount of veggies.

Well, as long as it's confession time...

Another food-sexer here. *blushes* ;)

I must confess to thinking of food during sex.

Hubby wanted to get romantic one night but he lit the wrong kind of scented candles for that. Banana bread and spiced pumpkin pie needless to say once our 'fun' was over I went to the grocery store and bought stuff to make both the banana bread and pumpkin pie. haha!

You mean thinking about food during sex is a bad thing? ;)

Haha!

lets see.... I've been known to eat an entire can of frosting, batch of butterscotch ricekrispie treats, a whole package of oreos, half a cake etc.....  as you can tell I have an addiction to sugar.

Thankfully a thing of the past.  Cheers to healthy, portion controlled eating!

Thanks for sharing!  In addition to lightening your burden, it also makes some of us feel better for not being alone.  The one I remember best is when I would be starving after work and then 4-hr evening class, and hubby was working til midnight... I would make a digiorno pizza in the oven and end up eating the whole thing plus a whole pint of cherry garcia.  Yikes.  Thank goodness those days are in the past.

I can remember more than a few times eating a 12" pizza, half a 12" garlic finger, a Big bag of doritos (sometimes more), 2L of 7-up or coke, and a bunch of chocolate. In one sitting. Me and my boyfriend used to do it about once a week and rent movies back in my pre-CC days. Luckily when we do have what we now call a "pigger night", it involves us sharing a SINGLE pizza and either garlic fingers or a bag of chips, and drinking water wth it. And its all worked into our calorie allowances.

I will never admit that to anyone I know in RL... me and honey's little secret =P

Ahh, the secrets are coming out!  Here are some of mine:

1. I've eaten an entire tub (no, not a pint, a TUB) of ice cream over the course of one day

2. I used to order a half chicken dinner, a sandwich, extra fries, two slices of coconut cream pies, and 4 cans of coke and eat it all in one sitting.  Regularly.

3. When I was a teenager I used to steal money from my parents to buy candy at the store... $20 at a time.

Yeowch!

I sometimes have goldfish crackers for breakfast.   I have a salt problem.

Lets see.....

I confess to eating an entire box of ice cream sandwiches in 2 days......

to ordering 2 crispy chicken meals at once at wendy's

to eating an entire half gallon of peanut butter cup ice cream in one day

and this is the worst.....to eating a FOOT LONG BLT from subway with DOUBLE BACON and EXTRA EXTRA MAYO!  Atleast once a week...with a large soda and 2 chocolate chip cookies AND Chips......

i confess to;

-eating a whole bag of mini doughnuts && half a bag of cheetos all by myself. (i did that today, actually)

-eating 9 pieces of pizza in one sitting.

-drinking 6 cans of coke in 1 hour then puking.

-having two cheeseburgers, a large thing of fries, and an icee for lunch one day :/

eek.

I don't have secrets, because usually I think the story is too good to keep to myself :) Here's a good one though. Going away for a weekend (2hr drive), stopped at the shop for food on the way. I must have been hungry. Bought a massive bag of tasty jacks chips (they're so good, thick and crinkle cut and full of msg), and saw toobs, another type of chip thing, also full of msg and I hadn't had them since I was a kid, so bought the most enourmous packet i could find (I'm talking 50cm high and 15cm diameter). I ate almost all of both of them, among a whole lot of other junk. Next day I had a headache the whole day, turns out msg doesn't go down so well with me. Not only that, there were less than half of the toobs left, brought them to a work friend who also used to love them as a child, he took them home, ate them all in one sitting, and had a sore mouth for a week from the flavouring. Hmm, good times.

I used to go through drive throughs and order snadwiches differently so they would think they were for more people and arby's example would be...

beef and cheddar with fries

beef and cheddar, no sauce, curly fries

beef and cheddar - horsey sauce, potato cakes 

• When I go on my "binge runs" to get my binge foods I always get a pint of Ben and Jerry's, but since that is too difficult (and dangerous) to eat while driving, I'll always get something I can get in the car because I can't wait 'till I get home.
• When eating at the Olive Garden I used to eat a whole appetizer, a salad, 3-4 bread sticks, and an entire entree of chicken alfredo.
• When I have ice cream in the house I eat it all in one day/sitting so I can just get it off my mind.
• When I was in high school I ate fast food at least 5 times a week!

 

 

oh my goodness I can relate so much.... One time I went out to a friends house and she had chex mix (cheddar, which is sooo good) and I couldnt resisit, so I had a LOT. not that that would have been the end of the world, but on the way home I got upset and already figured I messed everything up, so I stopped at mcdonalds and got 2 ranch snackwraps and large fries, then next door to7-11 to get a full size bag of buffalo and blue cheese doritos. ate them all when I got home. ive also baked cakes, and ate the whole thing over a 2 day period. boy were my parents confused.... geesh

Ive eaten an entire box of Krispy Kreme's in one sitting

I used to get the double bacon blt footlong, soda, chips and a cookie at lunch (quiznos)

I've repeadly eaten entire boxes of rice krispy treats-the variety packs. (24 perbox)

Ok here goes...

I'd come home from school, make a triple-decker (at least) PB&J (with "jelly" that was pure sugar and horrible-for-you PB and 4 slices of white bread...)

THEN add either 2 Pizza Pockets or a whole frozen Totino's pizza.  After, if I had them, I'd move on to a WHOLE bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos and Mac and Cheese. 

Around Christmas time, I would eat between a half a LARGE box and a whole box of my grandma's homemade party mix.  It was in one of those big Cheerios boxes for size reference...yeah that stuff is made by pouring JARS of BACON FAT over the pretzels, cheerios, cashews, chex, etc...

Ahh it's good to be honest..haha
