i've been talking to somebody from OA (overeaters anonymous) a lot on the phone. he's giving me tips on how to lose weight. in case you missed my first post here, i weigh 611 pounds (lost another pound since yesterday!). and i'm determined to get down to 250 in the next two years. anyways this dude used to be almost as big as me (he weighed in at 552), but now is down to 290. and he likes to tell me all the ways he used to overeat, and how that caused him to get so fat. so he told me that he used to eat an entire bucket of kentucky fried chicken for his supper, plus 2 large containers of mashed potatoes and gravey, a dozen rolls, half a gallon of chocolate ice cream, and washed it all down with two 2 litre bottles of pepsi! and then would turn around and have a midnight snack! my jaw almost dropped to the floor. lol. but here's the thing. even though there are extreme cases like this dude, i never ate that much in my life. yeah, i liked big portions sometimes, but the most KFC i ever ate at once was around 4 pieces. but my weight still creeped up on me over several years time. and i stopped exercising. so that's how i got in such bad shape. so all this talk about overeating made me wonder: what's the most you ever ate of something? ever eat an entire pie by yourself? how about a bucket of KFC? lol. what about a half gallon of ice cream? or a large cheese and sausage pizza? and don't be shy about it. lol. i'll even go ahead and confess to you that i once ate a large mushroom and sausage pizza by myself. but i only did it once. lol.
Where do these Gimmicks come from? Why do they exist? DO THEY FEED UPON OUR VERY SOULS!!?? maybe im just paranoid
wow. so we got that in common. lol. so did it cause any problems with your weight? and what kind was it? lol.
not really sure why i should have to be a gimmick to you. unless it's coz i am being so honest about it? i guess most heavy people lie about their weight online. and pretend to be thin? because they fear the rejection. but i am proud of my decision to lose the weight. and just thought i would share some of that with a few people here. being so open and honest about it is what will help me to achieve my goal in the end. sorry if that bothers you (if it does).
glad to hear it. lol. your one of the lucky ones. some people (like me) can just look at a pizza and gain 5 pounds. thats why i am so careful about it now.
well, i have finished large pizzas by myself multiple times. i remember eating a whole thing of chicken nuggets one time. i eat a lot of pasta when i have it at home. and potatoes, i eat them like its nothing. and i've finished a box of cereal, it was chex or something similar to chex. thats about it...
Ugghh, there's no possible way that I could eat all of that! But I don't eat fried chicken anyway, blech. I loooove pizza. That's one of my favorites, and I usually eat about 3 slices. That's nothing compared to the whole pie though, so it's a pretty pathetic confession I guess.
wow, you even got me beat! lol. and i bet you never gained an extra pound? some people are so lucky like that. thanks for your confession. lol.
oh, i gain weight, i just exercise a lot, so yea. i'm still up there in the weight, at 245...which isn't bad, but not were i want to be. only problem is that i can't run right now, so my cardio options are a bit limited due to my knee injury. so, if i do indulge like i previously stated, then yes, i would gain. but i don't indulge like that anymore, so its not a big problem. i wish my metablolism was high, like some people i know, but thats not the case.
I can almost feel the pangs of a heart attack when I think about the oil used to fry chicken. The company makes a claim that canola oil does not raise your cholesterol, however, this is a blatant lie. When low fat oils are heated high enough, they produce trans fatty acids that clog your arteries.
cool, so your 245 pounds. that's 5 pounds less than my goal! lol. i'm just glad i lost another pound since yesterday. at least i'm headed in the right direction.
your making an effort to better your life, which is admirable. just keep chipping away. if you fall down, just pick yourself up and get back to work. everyone falls, but the people who reach there goal learned how to get back on their feet. i'm working on getting back down to my weight before i injured my knee...so i'm getting there and you'll get your goal if you keep working.
was the guy stoned when he ate all that? a friend of mine ate some 4+ litres of icecream once, along with a few scones and some fingerbuns. i was so pissed off that he ate all my food lol. but pizzas are flat, theyre not that big a meal. i mean, theyre big, but not HUGE. though when i went to america.. the pizzas were um a little bigger than they are over here. not much bigger. just maybe twice the size.
not that much of a fan of KFC's chicken.... But the other day I ate a whole box of that new Fruity Pebbles cereal, the one that has the marshmellows in it and such.. man, you talk about some good eatin's Sure I felt sick later, but not when i was munchin on them
