I second that!

Hi baby-butt!!

Baby-butt?  I resent that!   Don't make me post a picture proving the non-baby-size of my tooshie!

Let's see that butt!

The angle proved to be too much of a challenge for photographing.  You'll just have to come see it in person!

The stoopid is strong with that one.

 I'm getting something...... the answer is ****WAFFLE

They don't make them like Johnny anymore. Love that bit.

God, I'm tired.

I don't think you meant to sound judgmental or mean, but I do think that to suggest that you "once were" that person and never will be again is a little short-sighted.  If your stomach will still the size of a large football, you probably wouldn't be happy with a few bites either.  I don't find it particularly helpful myself to watch others eat, but I find that practicing a balanced diet in social situations and enjoying the time instead of the meal is much more helpful to keep a healthy attitude towards food and what it means to my physical and social life.

I don't know about everyone else, but when I was obese I didn't pile up multiple plates at a buffet because I was ashamed!  I would eat a "normal" or even smaller than average amount, and then I would go home and eat my leftovers and some snacks in secret.... like a good addict.  The only times I overate in public were when I was anorexic/bulimic and skinny.  "Look how cool I am!  I'm like one of the guys eating a whole bacon cheeseburgery with fries and a beer!"  It was cute 'til I got fat again.  Then I would eat salad in public, and junk at home.  Now I'm somewhere in the middle and eat a small amount of food that is whatever I want to eat at the time. 

Like. I was the same way, minus the anorexic/bulimia. I always ate light in front of people, even though I was dying for more food. I always had snacks in my room/at home/wherever, so that I could fulfill that need later. Now, that I'm a smaller weight, I eat whatever the **** I want. Including butter, which I know grosses my co-workers out and has them constantly thinking I'm going to regain my weight.

Ironically enough, I was the heaviest in my work group at one time. When they all saw me again, they were astonished at how much weight I'd lost. I know many of them are waiting for me to balloon up again, and that's fine. It simple will not happen!! I won't let it.
