As I watch people eat, the way I used to eat, it just disgusts me now! Even my teenager!! She was eating fast food the other day and it was so disgusting the way she was shoveling food in (as only a teenager can!!)

But I have noticed that in general......when I see people (and I don't mean obese people either) eating large portions and mindlessly eating it.....it almost makes my physically nauseous.

Plus, I am appalled at myself because I used to eat that way......

I get disgusted with myself that I find it disgusting! I should be empathetic, should remember that was me once, but to be honest, i find it disgusting. I hate watching people stuff their faces, but then even though I did it myself I always did find it digusting.

One thing that really revolts me is people walking through malls eating - stuffing a hot dog or hot chips down their faces, and I loathe the current trend for walking around sucking on paper cups of coffee or smoothies. Its vulgar. I never ever did that, its just plain bad manners and vulgar. You want to eat in public, you sit down and do it nicely! I avoid the foodcourt because watching people gorge on KFC or McDonalds is really disgusting.

I know, I know, I'm awful, like a reformed smoker, but I cant help it. I can converse with anyone here talking about thier food issues or inability to give up junk and not feel disgusted, i truly want to help. But to watch it makes me sick.

Thanks, you said exactly what I was thinking, I feel like a reformed smoker(again)! I am a reformed smoker so I see the vulgarity of that habit. But, now, I see the oveeating and feel the same way. I was, and probably still am, a food addict. I have successfully made it to goal and am maintanance, but still think of food! I see the awful amounts that the food pusher restuarants give us,and am appalled. But, so many people think they need to finish their dinners. My son, whom I dearly love, has started the path to lapband. He needs to loose

probably 100 lbs. Last month just cutting his plate size to salad plate, he lost 9 lbs with out any pills or other special diets!
