I'm curious to know when everyone else started battling overeating?
Mine would've been around the age of 11 or 12 when I started babysitting. I used to love babysitting because of all the amazing snack foods parents with young kids kept around. Of course I loved spending time with the kids I babysat, but once they were in bed, I was in binge heaven. I would eat chips, chocolate bars, candy, chocolate milk, puding cups, hot dogs...etc etc etc.
I remember once I hit grade 8 in middle school I was thrilled too because I was old enough to volunteer in the school cafeteria. Two or three times a week I had to go and serve lunch and in return I would get a free lunch of all the leftovers. We were able to help ourselves to whatever was left, so most time it would be hot dogs, burgers, nanaimo bars, soup, juice. That was the ONLY reason I helped out in the cafeteria...for the free food.
Once I got a job working full time when I was 16 my meals just went downhill. I would work evening shift so for lunch my mom would give me $2.00 and I would buy a pop and a bag of chips....every single weekday for lunch. Dinner I would eat at work and if I was feeling cheap it would be a pop and chips from the vending machine or I would eat at the restraunt in the store and always had chicken fingers and onion rings with a pop.
