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?

Frozen Cool Whip, straight out of the bowl. Peanut Butter mixed with powdered sugar. Cream cheese mixed with regular sugar. Haagen Dazs dulce de leche ice cream with coarse ground sea salt. Bacon, egg, & cheese biscuit from McDonald's topped with grape jelly.

Damn, just typing all that made me nauseous.

Hot Cheetos w/ranch! Anything drenched in ranch was my downfall

A simple mid-day snack for me consisted of a chocolate bar and a soda! Tsk Tsk Tsk.... I havent' touched soda since my 1 month prior to my surgery (April) yet and chocolate I have only indulged in a dessert bite. Never again will I have that as a snack, all that sugar, all those calories, not healthy.... Love my new mind set after my WLS! :)

I use to mix Frosted Flakes with my Homemade vanilla Blue Bell ice cream. It was super yummy to me. :blush: :blush:

I ate small amounts of toothpaste when I was in basic training.

I work for a toothpaste manufacturer - I suggest that if you ever do this again you make sue it doesn't have fluoride.

Any kind of ice cream. I would have Blizzards for lunch and eat out of the bucket after supper. Could eat at least a bucket a week. I was all about the sugar- cake, cookies, cereal with sugar on it....I agree with the sugar addiction stuff. I am afraid that one bite might make me want to eat it again. Fortunately I no longer like the taste of ice cream. Thank you to my Surgeon!

Peanut butter and Mayo on white bread....so yummy...I'd make chicken and dumplings and eat the raw dough.....Frozen french fries....Ice cream by the pint...any flavor...Ugh what was I thinking.

I also liked banana foster over Swedish pancakes. I have modified my pancake recipe so it is high protein/low carb. 1 egg, 1 scoop vanilla Protein powder, 1/2 c skim milk, 1 tbs ground flax seed. mix. I use coconut oil instead of butter to coat the skillet and make my version of swedish pancakes about once a week. I have made the banana foster with splenda brown sugar to top my Breakfast (and get fruit in the day) and once I splurged and coated the pancake with nutella.

Pancakes with bacon and scrambled egg with butter and all soaked in syrup , nachos with chilli on top or panchos. Panchos are nachos with beef fajita melted cheese sour cream and avocado and refried beans. Yum

As a kid, I absolutely loved white bread with mayo. I also would sneak the box of powdered sugar and eat it with a spoon.

As an adult....Bananas Foster over vanilla ice cream. You slice a really firm banana into slabs, melt butter, brown sugar and rum in a sauce pan, then saute the bananas until they are coated and slightly soft. Spoon them over ice cream while hot and you have a dessert to die for!

I LOVE Bananas Foster! I've even had it at Brennan's in New Orleans where it was invented. There is a good recipe for bananas foster French toast on www.bariatricfoodie.blogspot.com. I've made it twice and tweaked it by using vanilla Protein powder in the batter in place of the vanilla extract and Splenda. It's a super yummy treat.

Dipping the rectangles of a Hershey bar into Jiffy. Anything involving peanut butter and I loved it so much that it was one of the only foods I worried about never tasting again! Now I add PB2 to protein shakes and it gives me the flavor without the fat!

Very creative and I would not all be surprised to see Frosted Flakes on a sundae topping bar
