Reading something on another thread jogged my memory. I once had a sugar craving so bad that I went to the 24-hour supermarket during the night and bought a large can of sweetened condensed milk and a huge slab of marzipan, big enough to cover a small wedding cake. Then I went home, got into bed, ate the milk from the can with a spoon, and followed it with the entire slab of marzipan. At the time I felt sooo guilty. Now I'm low-carbing it made me smile to remember it. Does anyone else have a worst food moment?

Eating the way you described was pretty commonplace for me. So, I guess my "worst" was rather regular. It was not at all uncommon for me to eat most of a box of Triscuits with cheese, along with a LARGE hunk of frosted cake and a LARGE candy bar for a meal. Sometimes I would eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's for dinner, and top that off with biscuits. I felt I was eating "healthy" if I actually included some meat and veggies in a meal sometimes. Yeah....severe junk food junkie.

I use to made up a recipe for a one crust pie, but shaped it into sticks and bake them. Then I'd eat the pie crust sticks with a can of Coke-cola. Normally, I'd drink Pepsi, but I thought the crust sticks tasted better with Coke. Nothing but carbs, baby! Zero nutrients!

Oh, my favorite/easy/bad meals was pork ramon soup with french bread for dipping. Poor man's french dip, as it were. Very cheap,very easy, very carby and again-zero of those pesky nutrients needed for life. "Guess who's anemic? -That's right! I am!!!"

Oh god, that's nothing. I'm a professional when it comes to binge eating. The funny thing is, my binges make me so sick now that I'm LC, that they're relatively tame. What used to be thousands of calories worth of sugar is now maybe 100 carbs -- yes that's still a hell of a lot of carbs, but believe me... I used to be WAY worse. Binges that'd last DAYS.

I've eaten half a pizza in one sitting, 3/4 cake etc. 20 chocolate bars. 10 cheeseburgers. 12 drinks. Etc etc.

I got kicked out of a buffet once.

hahahahahahahahahaha! oh goodness...
i'm sorry to laugh, but that sounds nearly impossible, but plausible..

that's original!

You're my hero!!! LOL

I was just thinking a few weeks ago, how now when I go off plan and "binge", it's still WAY less than a usual day's intake used to be. I wasn't a huge binger, as such, but every day I ate a huge amount of horrible food. Maybe every day was a binge, lol. I truely feel low carbing has saved my life, and is making my life worth living.

My binges now, which most often consist of protein and fat instead of carbs (and even if carbs are involved, it's typically nuts and berries,) are far less in volume/kcals than my pre-low carb binges. I still don't like them. They bother me and do impede my progress, but they are much better in that they are smaller and in that they consist of real, healthful food instead of junk. So, it's definitely an improvement.

I had two "lowest points."

I was an emergency babysitter. Between the stress and the binge disorder, I ate a whole box of pop-tarts; unable to help myself.

I still remember the withering scorn that the bratty kids, desperate parents, and despairing friend poured on me. Cripes, I ate a box of Pop-Tarts! Sue me!

The stupidest thing I ever ate was a can of pineapple slices with Cool Whip layered over them. It wasn't even good!

I'll match your one box of Pop-Tarts against my Pop-Tart DIET

Back in the late 80's, early 90's, I'd sneak out to the store EVERY DAY, buy Pop-Tarts, plead that I wasn't hungry enough to eat lunch or dinner, then get myself up at 4 or 5 in the morning to eat the Pop-Tarts (so noone knew what I was doing). After all, they were 1200 calories per box, and most diets recommended 1200 calories a day, so it was all good!

(Did it work? Somewhat, but the stress of hiding all this wasn't worth it)

My worst single meal would be COLD Franco-American canned spaghetti and meatballs. Couldn't even be bothered to heat it up.

I have bide the time until my frozen pizzas and fries where cooking by eating on a bag of chips (family size) and guacamole dip. It was ok, because chips were low-salt, I told myself. I had eaten so many by the time the pizza was ready I was afraid I wouldn't have room for anything else. So scary, right?
Anyone else here do that? Eat unhealthy things to tide you over until the other unhealthy things are cooked? I just couldn't shove the food in my face fast enough, back then. The 15 min wait on the pizza was too flippin' long!

I STILL do that only now the choices are healthier. While I'm waiting for the 15 minutes it takes to saute some delicious fish and veggies in butter, I'll eat some cheese, or pork rinds, or walnuts, etc., etc. Why on earth I can't just wait 15 minutes beats me. I guess it's the "starving for food" habit created back in the day when 90 percent of my diet was carbs with the cravings to go along with it!

a whole pizza AND a cake AND a jar of nuttella ugh ><
