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?

You would be surprised how many people look at me like I have two heads when I mention PB and Bacon!

Glad I am not alone!

Yaassss! When I was a kid my brother and I would schmear PB on a slice of bologna, roll it up and eat just like that. A lot of them. And PB and bacon is amazing.

Two of my favorite late-night snacks -

• 3 Hot dogs slathered in salt and mayonnaise...REAL mayonnaise!
• When I was 'dieting', I switched to having 4 icing-covered honey-buns, and washed it down with a 2-liter bottle of diet soda - the diet soda was supposed to cancel out the 2400 calories from the 4 honey-buns!!

It's a miracle I survived long enough to even have the surgery!

I used that same theory....Dt Pepsi to wash down the junk food. LOL So glad those days are behind me. Congrats on your success!

This will sound ridiculous.

I love when my mom makes salad. It's a simple iceberg lettuce. Delish vinegar oil salt pepper. Nothing special.

Then I used to take that and place it inside a piece of really crusty portuguese bread.

Just that no meats. The dressing soaks into the bread. And yum!!

I recently published an article about sugar being addicting in the same way that drugs are addicting:

I used to mix butter and white sugar together and eat it with a spoon. I'd usually just make a small amount, and then sometimes go back for seconds. Ugh!! And Coffeemate Creamer powder, by itself. Looking at what we were all drawn to really shows there is a neurological or chemical connection here ... Fats and sugar, fats and sugar. I haven't seen any posts about spinach or tangerines, haha. It's funny, although I am no longer drawn to the butter/sugar thing, I can still "feel" the euphoria I felt eating it at the time.

I'd go into McD's and order the big mac value meal super-sized with a diet coke. Yeah, that worked really well for me...

Hamburgers, pizza, Taco Bell, McDonalds, sodas (including diet), ice cream, cupcakes, donuts ...

For me it's never been "what" I was eating but HOW MUCH OF IT! I can no longer eat half of a pizza anymore. I still enjoy pizza, just 1 piece (or less) in a sitting now! The restriction of the sleeve has given me the freedom to eat what I like, how I like it, and for that I am grateful! As long as I move my body and don't over eat, it's all good!

This thread is making me hungry must close now.

Sauerkraut and cheese toasted sandwiches, with mustard, which I was only allowed to make when I was home alone as it had a tendency to smell up the house.

I still eat pizza but only half a slice. Only real pizzeria pizza. Being from Jersey that's the only kind for me.

I do eat cookies but only about 1 or 2 and that is maybe 2xs per month. I find that my sweet tooth is gone and sugar just doesn't agree with me, for which I'am very thankful.

I know my problem was food addiction and sugar addiction and everyday I get healthier I am so grateful for the WLS. I feel so much stronger. Sugar and food doesn't run my life any longer. I am more powerful than the drug that ruled my life for so many years.

I still cannot eat bread.... the other day I went to Denny's ordered off the senior menu, one egg scrambled 2 (tiny) slices of bacon and a belgin waffle, previously I LOVED waffles... I managed to eat the egg and the bacon and 1/4 of a 8 inch waffle and I was stuffed...... and the waffle didn't even taste that good... teach me to eat carbs.

I Loved cracklin. I also chowed down on fatback and biscuits with molasses. Yummmmmmm

I have a bunch.. But I'm not sure if they qualify as weird

1. chocolate Peanut Butter milkshakes.

2. Alligators. Hot dog, pickle, mayo and shredded cheese all in a hotdog bun.

3. Salty potato chips dipped in cream cheese.

Any type of appetizer
