Compare how much you eat now.....

Very interesting to read other's posts....like looking in the mirror sometimes.

pre band -

easily a whole pizza,

a whole box of rice or Pasta or Cereal,

bag of chicken wings,

huge steak...etc...

total binge eater, perhaps compulsive, seeming as though as soon as a package of food was opened, it was as good as gone.

Basically, "family-sized servings"

post band -

3 oz meat at a time, any meat, but no more than 2 or 3 oz.

any ice cream or soft stuff (avoided unless a treat)

single servings of anything (to control the beast within)

any more than this at one time will make me hurl and be hungrier, curiously...

huge mental challenge, to take away my crutch, eating

In the final days of my food Madness, I knew I was completely out of control.....

THEN: meals were just the official excuse to be doing what I was most of the day anyway;

NOW: meals really are separated by several hours of non-eating non-hunger non-food oriented behavior...

Very poetic, and deeply moving...summary of my life the last year before my band, "food consumed me"
