INgirl: Bergen County is a mine field for naughty food! lol I grew up in the "Little Italy" section of Newark, NJ and it was and still is scary for food. I'm now is Morris County and it's just as "naughty". But I am loving my sleeve!!!

 I use to eat so much!! I did the 4 slices of pizza easily and half a bbq chicken with rice and potatoes. I was never full even when i wasnt hungry and just bored i would eat. Now I can barely finish a burritto from taco bell without feeling soo full. It is awesome!!

Well I certainly have more confidence now that I should not be a failure.  If everyone can change so much with their food intake, so can I

I was a volume frequent eater:

I could typically eat 6 slices of pizza, with 2 slices of garlic cheese bread, and a can of pop.
A footlong sub with a bag of chips and pop.
A whole box of macaroni.
A huge soup bowl of pasta, loaded with meat sauce, and shredded cheese.
A whole large bag of chips with a whole container of dip.
Movie theater size popcorn, with extra butter,pop and M&Ms.
Large nacho plate with all the trimmings.
6 fajitas, or tacos loaded, with cheesy chili fries.
Big Mac, large fries, coke, and apple pie.
3 KFC chicken breasts, fries with gravy, med tub of macaroni salad, pop.
Chinese food...OMG..can eat until I burst.
Large steak, with large heaping of mashed potatoes, gravy and veggies.
Chinese dumplings (15 pieces) with soya sauce for breakfast.
2 eggs, 3 pieces of bacon, 2 sausages, 2-3 slices of toast with butter, coffee.


I could go on and on....I also grazed all day long, and loved anything sweet, especially Oreo cookies and milk, which I would typically have about 4-6 at a time. I would sneak food when no one was looking and often woke up in the night to snack. All I thought about was what I was gonna eat next. I was obsessed with food and ate when I was happy, sad, or stressed. My life revolved around food.

This was ME all the way minus the grazing and sweets.

The bigger the meal the better. The more side or appetizer options available, the happier I was. 

Plus, I drank nearly a 12 pack of soda a day. I never really ate breakfast, ate a normal size lunch then would pile it on right before bed time.

I see plenty of NJ natives on this board.  I'm from Passaic county, grew up in the Wayne area.  Best pizza, pasta, and bagels in the world come from Jersey!  Texas pizza is just sad...and bagels don't exist here (it's tacos instead).
