Name something strange and super unhealthy that you used to eat before weight loss

When I was a (fat) kid I used to take my mashed potatoes and kernel corn from my dinner plate and put them between a slice of white bread. Gross!

What strange and super unhealthy concoction did you eat before weight loss?

I LOVED chocolate covered Halva! Must have gained 25% of my excess weight due to eating Lb's of that guck. Sure tasted good!! :D

Potato chip sandwiches. White bread, mayo, chips. Awesome!

it would be easier to name things that I did not eat. I love cheeze whiz and bacon bits on ritz crackers.

My grandmother introduced me to Peanut Butter and Karo syrup.

I knew that low-fat peanut butter wasn't for me the first time I tasted it. Sure enough it has added corn syrup.

Since childhood I've had a love affair with condiments. Ketchup, honey mustard, ranch dressing mixed with hot sauce, soy sauce, Polynesian sauce, and especially barbecue sauce. I can and have eaten BBQ on anything and everything. Giving up my barbecue sauce has been so hard! I can't find any without any high fructose corn syrup which is a big no-no for my doc. -_- But I'm still alive! :D

It never ceases to amaze me how I can taste the sugar that is laden into foods (UNNECESSARILY) now that I eat clean. It really makes me mad trying to find dried fruit that has no added sugar for cripes sake!!! I don't eat peanuts because I follow Paleo but the kind that you can grind yourself in the store rocks because you can taste the peanuts rather than the sugar -- it simply is not necessary.

Frozen bagels. Don't ask me why by, nibbling on them in front of the TV was a favorite past time. But actually, I ate quite a few unfrozen ones with margarine, too, Not a strange unhealthy habit, but I'm sure that 25% of my excess weight is bagel!

I don't think I ate anything particularly horrific, I just ate gobs of food.

I guess my worst food concoction was homemade pizza. I bought dough, topped it with far too much olive oil, cheese, bacon, ham, feta, more cheese, olives...

And of course the requisite buffalo wings and blue cheese.

Toast with lots of butter and cinnamon sugar dipped in a mug of hot chocolate....so good and oh so not good for you!

Peanut butter with about an equal amount of sugar mixed in it. Weird but I was hooked on it
