What was your past slob memory



Recommended Posts

For me it was when I was 12 years old and we had a seven eleven that opened down the road. They had a fast eating contest and I went up against another boy my age in a pie eating contest. Anyway I finished my pie while the other boy was having his first bite. I won a slurped. What is one of your past memory as a slob.

Ok, this is really horrible to admit because I never was a big eater and I felt like such a pig afterward.

My downfall was pie! I love pie! I am a great pie maker but rarely made it because I knew what would happen.

My husband went away for the weekend a couple years ago and I was very bored. I decided to make a deep dish apple pie from scratch.

Well I could barely wait for that pie to cool, I sliced a rather large piece and ate it. It was absolutely delicious!

About an hour later I just had to have another piece. And shortly after that another piece.

I ate that whole damn thing by the end of the day! A whole stinking pie! I felt like the biggest slob ever.

To say the least I never made pie again when my husband was gone for fear I would eat the whole thing in one day.

I remember being very ashamed that I had done that.

Now, I am very happy if I snag one little bite of someone else's. It satisfies me and I am done. Usually it is too sweet and I do not bake them at home anymore. Thank goodness!

So when it was done I had a piece and then another, and then another and before I knew it I ate the whole damn pizza!! OMG I got soo soo sick! I never told anyone what I did, what a shame! that was my sob slob story

I could have EASILY eaten a whole pie in one day. I actually probably have several times. I was the ultimate "picker" as my mom used to call it. I would keep going back and pick pick pick food until it was gone. I'm noticing I'm starting to pick again to a certain extent. I'm going to have to be mindful of that....

I remember when I was in high school and I ordered four meat pies for lunch the canteen lady said to me it's very nice of you ordering for your friends too.

I've eaten enough spaghetti in one sitting to literally make myself sick. Cooked up nearly the whole box...and then ate it all...even cold out of the pot after I put it in the fridge. What horrible feelings of hatred and self loathing that brings up for me. I tap into those old feelings whenever I feel the urge to eat more than I need. That's usually all I need to stop me cold.

A couple of years ago I stopped at a gas station on the way to work to get a donut not even to get gas. I picked out 2 big ones - like apple fritters. They guy said, they're old. I said, I'll take them anyway. He looked at me with utter disdain and said, you can have them for free (you miserable slob).

Four grilled cheese sandwiches in one sitting, in a bathrobe, on the couch, watching TV.

Regularly and always alone.

And I wasn't a kid either.

I'm so glad I don't do that anymore.

(Slobovian pro tip: grilled cheese leaves a very distinct aroma in the house. Plan your binge early in the day accordingly.)

I have too many to list but the one that sticks out in my mind happened this past Christmas. Someone gave us a HUGE box of delicious Cookies from my favorite bakery. My husband brought the box in before going to work and I had eaten the whole thing by the time he got home that night. It was probably 3 dozen various cookies, some of which I really didn't care about but they were here and I had no self control. I was so ashamed I lied :-( and told him I gave some to my parents and siblings who live close by. I had been doing Weight Watchers for a year and that started my gaining spiral again. I never want to feel like that again, or have to lie to the person I love the most because I'm a slob!! It still bothers me!

I remember being in college and eating a whole dozen of krispy kremes in a matter of hours. Talk about instant diabetes...

@@lexiemustang I did that too. We had this little norwegian mexican place where you could get a plate of nachos and pitcher of beer for $2.50. My roommate and I would pick up cans during the week and turn them in for $$ at the grocery store. We'd go on Friday nights (after having starved ourselves all week). At midnight, the Kum & Go (I kid you not) next door would sell their remaining donuts for the day at $1.00 per dozen.

WTH was I thinking???

One of my weaknesses used to be the Little Debbie Swiss Rolls, and you could buy them in a box of 12. My usual snack was to polish off an entire box in one sitting, usually about 6 minutes!!!

Another was those icing covered honeybuns that you could buy 2 for $1.00...I would buy 4 at a time for a snack, and have a 2-liter bottle of soda to wash it all down...the funny thing was the soda had to be a DIET soda, since I was trying to cut down!! Yeah, right!!!

The third was KFC chicken...in order to cut down, I wouldn't eat the skin from the chicken. So instead of eating 8 full pieces, I would eat 14 skinless pieces!!! What a slob I was!!! Now I can barely eat 1 skinless leg or thigh...thank goodness!!!

I've had so many slob moments it's not even funny. One that sticks out was my husband was in pa with his friends. His friends are vegan and took him to this vegan bakery. He brought me home 4 mini cakes of different flavors......I ate them all in one day and was so sick and ASHAMED!!

I once worked in a donut shop and one day the boss told me to throw out a tray of about 20 donuts as they didn't sell for a few days. I took them round the back and started eating them when the boss came in there was about 4 left he saw me while I pretended I was throwing them in the bin he said why are you throwing them away one by one I just smiled.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
