Im guilty of a lot of these.

We've come a long way, girls!!!:cp:

I remember when, I would sort through my kids candy and eat the ones I liked, without sharing with them. This usually took place after they were in bed, so I didn't see the looks and feel guilty.

I remember when I would mentally figure out how much food was left at the table and try to figure out who got what and how big my portion would be.

I remember when I didn't take my kids out to play and run because I didn't want to move that much.

I remember when my need for food, overcame my ability to be a good mom and partner.

I remember when I had heartburn on an hourly basis. I remember trying all those stupid pepcids, tums etc, and now I wonder why the ads never state that 95% of heartburn comes from chronic overeating?

I remember when I would roll my eyes at my doctor's concerns for my health, given my family history.

I remember when I thought I was invincible and none of those horrible health issues my parents/grandparents have/had would affect me. Since having angina attacks, I know better.

I remember when I use to figure I wa adopted, since I was always the fat family member.

I remember when my weight let me hide some secret goals/dreams because I knew I couldn't do the jobs I wanted to, because it would be to hard on my body, so I didn't finish the degrees I really wanted.

I remember when a road trip was about how much crap food I could snack on while driving and all the fast food/diner food I would get to eat without guilt<afterall, its a road trip>. Now, it's finding places to stop, picnic and hike with the kids for an hour before getting back in the car.

I remember when I told my daughter she couldn't have a puppy, because she was to little<when reallt it was because *I* would have to walk it>. We have a puppy now.

I remember when I would match Matt, bite for bite on food. Between us we would order a 2fer deal from Dominos, 2 med, 2 topping, side of wings and bread, with a 2liter and we would eat the entire thing<before kids or when they were really young>.

I remember when we use to go to steakhouses, I would order a 12 ounce or more steak and eat the entire thing, usually with an add on of shrimp, chicken or ribs.

Wow! What were we thinking? I relate to everyone of the things written. A few of them even brought tears to my eyes as I remember doing them. Like buying two meals at a drive through thinking that the person there would think that I was taking it home to someone else, even though they were both for me.

I big one for me is that I remember buying frozen pizzas and eating the whole thing in one sitting. Knowing it was wrong, but thinking that it didn't count because no one saw me eat it.

I used to rationalize that pizza was never as good if you warmed it up the next day . . .

So many of these ring true. Thanks for sharing, everyone. :)

Sorry that I am a little late on adding my bit to this post. I didn't have access to my computer for a few days.
My biggest "Do you remember when?" would be..
I remember when I would blame my weight on having children and being extremely jealous of women who had babies and looked great.
I would say things to myself to make me feel better but, they just were not true. Things like "Well, I just had a baby 6 months ago..1 year ago...2 years ago, etc." Finally I realized that excuse was NOT working after 6 years!
And I also would say mean things about thin women with babies/children like "She must have had a tummy tuck right afterwards because there is no way she looks like that naturally after 2 children, etc."
I never admitted to myself that I was overweight because I wasn't taking care of myself. At least now I realize the truth and I am working on fixing my lifestyle.

The baby I was blaming got to be over 40 years old. Used to do it in a kidding kind of way, of course. :o But I wasn't fooling anybody.

I remember when I was having a McDonalds meal every day at lunch and bingeing most nights.

wow I did lots of those things not too long ago. Actually I did some of them this Xmas... :(

I remember having a hard time putting my snickers on.
I remember not feeling my but anymore for such long times sitting.
I remember finishing off everything that was left of that day's food, "so we wouldn't have leftovers..."
I remember wanting pizza so bad I would eat any left cold.

I hope I never do any of these again! :P
