Dirty Little Secrets...Just for fun

 I'm wondering, just for fun, what are our dirty little food secrets from our former fat lives.  It might be fun to share.  We'll be able to see how we are all "addicts" and need to stay vigilant to avoid falling back into the addictions.  I'll tell you mine  and hope you share yours.

 At my worst and at my heaviest, I would swing by the Arby's on my way home from work and order a large order of Onion Petals with Arby sauce.  I'd sit in the parking lot and eat the whole thing, throw away the evidence, then go home and act like I hadn't eaten all day .

I look back now and am so happy for my sleeve.  And I NEVER swing by Arby's or any other fast food joint.  Lesson: No sneaking food, if I can't eat it proudly, I can't eat it!

Hershey Pies at Burger King. Same as you... eat two of them in the parking lot and then pitch the evidence. I'm ashamed I ever did that. Haven't even wanted a Hershey pie since surgery. I know that may change down the road, but I'm thankful to have that monkey off my back. You're right, If I can't eat it proudly, I can't eat it! Thanks, Marie!

mostly mine related to peanut butter cups. like getting a bag and eating 2/3 of it in one evening in front of the computer.  oddly i would reach a stopping point before the whole bag. but i just ate it the next night and then got some more. I was  a major chocolate eater like Dove squares and such. And I used to be a pretty expert homemade cookie maker and eater. oddly I can't remember some of the other ridiculous things i used to do. Didn't know about hershy pies at burger king or i am sure i would have done that too.  Diane

Entenmann's Coffee Cakes and Hagen Das Butter Pecan Ice Cream

 
Nobody even knows this.......

On my way home from my first appointment with Dr. Cirangle......

First consultation and scheduled surgery for 3 weeks later.....

Stopped off and picked up a ExLarge Combo Pizza, Garlic Pesto Tortellini, Garlic Bread.....a Slice of Cheesecake.... No I didn't eat it all at once........twice !!!!

and drum roll please........a 2 liter Diet Pepsi (hey had to watch the sugar intake)

I remember telling myself......"your an idiot"    "what a dumb F-ck"  "what an odd day"  "that surgery is gonna be some serious ****"  "I'm eating after scheduling WL surgery and reading a forum called Obesity Help....what's wrong with this picture !!"   "Dr. Cirangle seems to know his ****" and as I shake more parmigiana on my tortellini......"Dude says he can get me to 180lbs."

Frisco: Kelley and I stopped at Young's Dairy after leaving our first appointment with the surgeon and had massive amounts of ice cream. Oh, and lunch before that at Buffalo Wild Wings. LMAO. Same thoughts.

Congrats on proving that doc wrong... you blew past 180 like it was standing still!

I love what you wrote about eating it "proudly".  It's still hard for me to write about my disease.  It was not pretty.

This is a fun post.  I loved what everyone wrote, and it makes me comfortable enough to return to the scene of the crime and tell my dirty little secret.  This happened about a year before surgery, and it made me realize that I had a serious problem.

Klondike bars~what would you do for a Klondike bar?

I would (and did) buy an entire box of Klondike bars once and was plowing through them on my way home from the grocery store.  There I was on my last bar with just a few blocks to go before I reached my driveway.  Not wanting to be busted for pigging out and still needing to clean myself up, I whipped into the neighborhood just before my neighborhood and slowly drove around eating that last melting Klondike bar.  Suddenly, I noticed the red flashing lights behind me.  I was being pulled over by the police.  I pulled my vehicle over and waited.  As the officer was walking up to my vehicle window, I realized that I had ice cream and chocolate all over my face, lap and the front of my shirt, plus I was still holding a melting messy Klondike bar in my paw.  There was nothing I could do.  I was busted, with evidence in hand.  He could arrest me for being a fat piggy gluttonous slob. 

When the cop reached my window, he looked in at me with a super surprised look on his face.  I drive a  cute sporty Bronco that would usually be driven by 20something dude up to no good.  The cop did not expect a middle aged, fat, Klondike eating mom with a load of groceries to be the owner of such a vehicle.  And yes, he expressed this thought.  Then he sheepishly mentioned he had pulled me over for suspicious behavior..I.E. driving around in the neighborhood

  He saw my drivers license and acknowledged that I lived close by, but wanted to know what I was doing anyway...just out of curiosity.  So, I told him the truth, holding up the absolute messiest melted, what was left of a Klondike bar in my hand.  He laughed and laughed and laughed, and said he would have and has done the exact same thing...you see, this cop was at least 350 pounds.  He totally understood.  We parted ways with big smile on our faces.  So, that is what I did for a Klondike bar.

Thank God and my surgeon for this surgery.  However, Ice cream is a slider food, and that food addict still lives within me.  I must work everyday on not turning back into that person.  I must heal her, or at least keep her bound and gagged!!   I am still a food addict, that will never change, but my behavior has changed and will be controlled and modified.

Oh my gosh I LOVE your post!  I love them all actually.  And Klondike Bars, oh dear, it's chocolate coated heroin I say!.   Soooo funny
But I don't think there's a single person here who isn't struggling with that old food demon
This truly is a deadly addiction, thank God for our VSG's and let's never forget what we have escaped!  Love you all

"Chocolate covered Heroin"  That is an exact, precise description for them.  They are so dangerous that I have not had one since several months before surgery. 

Shall we look at the damage that fateful day?  I would like to see the damage that Frisco caused with the load of goods he ate as well!
