Hey Ivy, list us a sample diet of what you used to eat when you were overweight.
Are you serious? Here we go:
Typical day, in the old days...
Breakfast (if at all):
Stop by mcdonald's and pick up a bacon/egg/cheese biscuit, hash brown, large orange juice (that was healthy to me, the orange juice, so it all evened out, in my irrational mind)
If not mcD's, then i would go to the vending machine upon arrival at work and get a Jamaican Beef Patty, or "the healthy alternative," a bagel with strawberry jam.
Mid-morning (if not upon arrival):
Begin picking out of my boss' candy bowl, all the good ones. HOard them at my desk for consumption within the next ten minutes. Go back for more throughout the day.
Lunch:
Wendy's Spicy Chicken sandwich, biggie fries, water (i dont like soda much)
or
Schlotzky's deli four cheese pizza with sour cream and onion potato chips
or
Atlanta Bread Company Pesto Chicken Panini
Mid-afternoon:
return to the vending machine for some sandwich cookies (oreos or vanilla cookies), or the "healthy" alternative, animal crackers or pretzels. Occasioanlly use every leftover dime in my purse to pick up a bag of M&M's or hershey bar, to go with it.
Go home... start jonesing for something good to eat for dinner...
Most nights, stop by Taco bell if i'm low on cash, get a mexican pizza or a chicken quesadilla, cinnamon twists.
On the nights when I had a little more cash, stop at the REAL mexican place and get their chicken tortilla soup, chicken quesadillas loaded, tortilla chips.
OR
stop at the cuban restaurant on the way home and get some take out breaded skirt steak, white rice, fried plantains.
AFTER DINNER, and while watchign tv or surfing the web for the next few hours before going to bed, I would eat cheetos and drink wine. Usually ate a whole bag of cheetos in one sitting because, seriously they're damn good. And the wine... santa margarita pino grigio, straight out of the bottle.
Other assorted treats that I always stocked up on were cuban croquettes, chocolate cake, brownies, hershey's kisses, fudge stripe cookies, the more expensive lake champlain 5 star chocolates, when i had the money to spare (at $3.00 a pop at the gourmet grocery store, they're a delicacy to me).
And if I went out to see my friends' bands (thursd, fri and/or sat nights) there was also the consumption of a lot of Newcastle beer, and fried finger foods late at night and into the wee hours of the morning.
Yes, I know. VERY VERY SAD. I was out of control. I haven't exaggerated ANY of this.
Not to mention it's a break from the every-day.
Don't want to ruin my image.)
