BIG FAT PEOPLE!

  • Popular Post

Did I get your attention??? :P

Ok, curiosity... when I answer posts here, I am always coming from a perspective of a "food addict"

But many times I have people write back...

"But I don't have an addiction to food"

Which I always think to myself YEAH RIGHT!

Don't beat me up I'm being honest!!

What can I say I'm pessimistic, I also laugh when people say they don't eat TO MUCH so they don't understand how the are fat.. I AM FAT BECAUSE I EAT LIKE A PIG (alone mostly)

Today I thought about, "what if I'm wrong?"

I mean...I am me and I am addicted, how do I know how the next person is???

I'm curious as an addicted fat person how is it for those of you who are not addicted?

Oh and on a side note if I am wrong, then I'm also jealous because I would give anything not to have this problem (addiction)

    If they aren't addicted why do they allow it to happen? If you didnt eat too much or the wrong things and youre aware you are getting fat.. Why not just stop? If you lost all your weight why turn back

I have not slimed or vomited since surgery and so wish I could or have. :)

Ok, I think as an experiment one of us needs to push the limits and see if it is possible for

"Those of us who can't". You know, just to make sure that we have in fact been robbed or that we just never pushed it!!

I vote for Fyre storm ( Martin) to do it, for science sake!

I second that motion! Woot woot! Lol!

Just eat 5-6 ounces of chicken until you are full and the try to eat some raw veggies. Pretty sure you will slime.

Geeze fiddle if I'm going to try and slime I want to be able to gorge on something better than chicken and veggies!! :P

That's why I vote for Martin to do it!

Hehehe.... Or that f**king Easter candy in the next room!!!

Thanks guys. I needed a little levity tonight!

It's been a "heavy" day.

Or better, see if you can eat a gotta have it cold stone ice cream without major diarrhea or throwing up. For sure, your experiment would yield dumping and mad running for the bathroom. Lol! Who volunteers? You could even pick something extra sweet like Founders with extra caramel, extra brownie and cake batter ice cream. And gotta have it is about a pint in size.

Ok I had to go look that up... OMG fiddle where were these suggestions during my "food funeral" days!

I could taken that down no problems!!!

Hehe I was just thinking if anybody had any doubts about my food addiction this should be proof... Somehow I always make the conversation come back to food!

That's evil, fiddle. Besides, the best combo is sweet cream with banana, a little caramel and some pecans. Add brownie if you're feeling the chocolate love.

And no, I'm not going to go to Everett tomorrow and get one. Not even a "like it" size. Not gonna happen.

On a side note. Some people after this surgery can't stand sweets now' date=' not me.

And some people throw up after eating to much, I read it everyday here. I've never thrown up, I feel defective in that way! I want the automatic emergency evacuation method that others have if they f**k up! :P[/quote']

I'm the same way laura. I can eat anything with no problems what so ever. And I so love donuts, reeces and kitkats. And those little dunkin sticks...love those. I have very little discipline around them. Unfortunately, every time I allow myself a small treat it only weakens my resolve for the next time and increases my cravings.

"All things in moderation" just does not work for me. Several times I have hoped for some slimes or dumping....even some projectile vomiting would be nice. Never happens. I can't even get heart burn. I would start one of those "they didn't remove enough stomach" threads but I have too much dignity.

The good news is I just came back from a week long camping trip and I was pleasantly surprised at how clean I ate. Camp fire food can be quite healthy. I grilled chicken and beef skewers with bell pepper, onions, and mushrooms several nights.

He he, she asked for it. :)

I would definitely not eat one of these ever again. It is one of those desserts where the calories are so bad that you fail to even want to think about how many there are. Eating cheesecake at Cheesecake factory is like this also; especially, Chris's Crazy Cheesecake. Another one of my ancient indulgences. Hope I am not making anyone hungry. :)

By the way, don't you live In Monroe? I think they built a cold stone there a few years ago by the red robin. I always was 1/2 serious with my wife that we needed to create a franchise in Lake Stevens in Frontier Village. We would make so much money and capture all those ice cream people who have to drive to Everett for their cold stone fix.

Now I think we would be too late as Cold Stone is winding down in popularity. The glory days were in the last decade. I think it is because the nation has made a general turn towards being more healthy about 5 years ago.

See even further proof of the "sickness" of my addiction... I've never eaten a cold stone ice cream! I took the kids there once about 4 years ago, but I would NEVER eat something like that in public.

I ate when no one was looking.

On a serious note, those who push their sleeve (apparently, not us) beware of the consequences. You may think its a good thing to repeatedly push to the limit, but it could be a deadly game. That's what I did with my band and paid a price.. With my life. I refuse to do it with my sleeve and I'm glad the majority of us are on the right track. Learning the new life of a healthy recovering addict is the only way we can be what we truly want to be

BTW.. I looked up Psycho Donuts, THOSE ARE WICKED and I just may have to taste one when I'm down that way!
