  • Fast food every day did it for me. That, and a pint of ice cream for dinner with a side of crackers or cookies.
  • When I was little..we used to buy these containers of cookie dough..and I would just eat out of it allllllllll the time!!! So to throw my mom off, I would make cookies often and make them huge!! LoL!! (she's probably reading this from Heaven going.."I KNEW IT", lol!!) I also used to eat sugar straight from the sugar bowl.
  • I told my husband that I had motion sickness and couldn't go on a roller coaster this summer. Well, I don't have motion sickness, I just knew I was too big for them to close the drop down harness thingy. So now he's convinced I get motion sickness easy and always asks me if I am ok with certain activities. When I finally loose this weight, I will have to fess up so I can get on a roller coaster someday.
  • FRANCIE...Josh still does that, ick! He will make a sugar sandwich too and pour seasoned salt in his hand and eat it. DD used to eat butter straight from the carton...gross.

    I tried doing that. Only I did pixie sticks and captin crunch, cuz that one chick did it in The Breakfast Club, lol. It was gross.
  • Last year I would exercise regularly. BUT at our school we had a great cafeteria that served three course meals every single day and you could pre-pay for the month! So instead of packing a lunch, I would eat there fooling myself into thinking that at least it wasn't fast food. soooo, I would have breakfast, bring a snack for the morning, a snack for the afternoon and have this giant lunch! Every day except for Thursdays and that day we'd go out.
    I was actually suprised I was gaining weight. Silly girl, me.
  • FRANCIE...I love pixie sticks, and the Breakfast Club, lol!
  • I used to go KFC that was attached to a Taco Bell and order something from both places. Usually, a mashed potato bowl with no corn and a beef and cheese quesadilla.
  • Quote: a sugar sandwich . . .to eat butter straight from the carton

    A stick of butter coated in sugar is called a Shame Stick. This I learned from watching 'According to Jim'.

    P.S. No I've never tried this and never would; blech!

    Hiding food so no one else knew it was in the house or buying food, eating it all then replacing it so no one would know . . . gosh, didn't everyone do this at one time or another?
  • My worst habit of all was fast food breakfasts. Usually McDonalds. From the years 2002-2004 it was not usual for me to have a 1200 calorie breakfast. I would eat 2 sandwiches (egg mcmuffin, etc) and a medium coke (regular). I would say 6 days a week I ate like this. My husband had no clue. I never realized at the time the thought of going to class then work afterwards was stressful, and I ate to cope. I gained 80 ish pounds in a little over a year. It was a wonder I didn't weigh more than 256 pounds at my highest. Thank God I don't do this anymore, haven't done it regularly since 2005. Now it's a few times a year thing.
  • i used to take the bus home from work. i would stop at the mall- get myself some fast food eat it, come home make dinner and never tell my husband that i'd had two dinners. gah!
    i still am trying to break the habit of lying to my husband about what i eat. he makes it really hard because he wants to restrict so many things if i want a freaking bagel he gets mad at me. so sometimes i sneak things, i know it's terrible and i always feel awful about it.
  • I've done the laying down on the bed to button and zip up pants before......UGH those days suckkked. Now if they don't fit, they aren't getting worn! lol.

    DH & I used to eat out for almost every single meal, it was outrageous and EXPENSIVE! Now he cooks all the time........and its much much tastier, cheaper and healthier!!!

    I TOTALLY hear you on this one! I now try to make my DH eat like I do and then give him crap when he wants ice cream!
