Ashamed of becuz of food ??

**Supastar0284** · July 13th, 2008, 09:44 PM

Ugh, this thread brings back bad memories of childhood. I used to hide food in my bedroom so no one would see me eating. One Christmas when I was about seven, my mom made a HUGE container of those seasoned oyster crackers. I sat in front of the tv and ate a massive amount without even realizing it. When my mom discovered how much was missing, I told her that I acidentally dropped the container and spilled a bunch on the floor.

One night when I was about eight mom made spaghetti and these really good pillsbury breadsticks for dinner. I really wanted a breadstick and couldn't wait for dinner, so I grabbed one and ran to the bathroom with it. I forgot to lock the door and mom came and caught me. She said I didn't have to sneak, and I could've just had a breadstick. I remember being so ashamed and embarrased because I was just so used to sneaking my food.

I'm going to go cry now!
One evening my mom was

OMG! I have littered to keep my husband from knowing I had stopped for fast food! I usually stop and throw away the evidence before I get home, but on occasion I have gotten within sight of the house (we live way out in the country) and have looked down and seen a cup or something and tossed it out the window so I wouldnt get caught with it.
Ive also had DH call my cell phone when I was sitting in a drive through and I would let it go to voice mail so he wouldn't know where I was.

**jazzygal72** · July 13th, 2008, 08:47 PM

Guilty. I would keep stuff in my car. As a matter of a fact, now that I think about it..there are 100 cal snack packs hiding in there now!

**dbethied** · July 13th, 2008, 07:23 PM

oh yeah, i used to hate it when i would try to sit down and eat and here would come the kids! i swear, i could be eating a turd and they would want it! i could make them their own plates and they would still want mine. it used to really annoy me, but now that i've fallen out of love with food it doesn't bother me. if they come after something now i see it as a blessing. i'm like, "here you go! i didn't need it anyway."

that was what i did !! hmm where do i start with my food secrets lol. well when i first started college i took that whole "freedom" thing a little bit too far. I'd eat like there was no tomorrow..seriously. sometimes me & my friend would skip our freshman seminar class to go & get food @ the foodcourt lol. but the number 1 thing i'm embarassed about is that every morning before my 9am class i'd stop by mcdonalds & get TWO mcskillet burritos & a LARGE ice coffee! I just looked the nutritional info up and --omg. 1490 calories just for breakfast!!!

Hold your horses .....

Explain your CASHMONKEY screen name and we'll get back to you on the level of freak ...

LOL

**gothprincess** · July 13th, 2008, 04:49 PM

I can honestly say I've never done any of those things. Hubby and my son are too picky about food so I buy snacks I know they won't eat but I also buy them stuff that they like and that I won't eat. I've never hidden food for myself, just from my son so he doesn't eat it all at one time...lol.

**dbethied** · July 13th, 2008, 03:58 PM

i've ordered a large pizza before and eaten so much of it that i would stop and throw the box out at the car wash. HORRIBLE! i did that once. another time i hid the box between the washing machine and dryer. then, i realized that was pathetic and way too much work! glad those days are over.

All jokes aside, Its nice to know, I am not alone in this, and you all have done these things as well, and the best part is , we all realize this and we are making changes for the better.

**wildcat1842** · July 13th, 2008, 02:43 PM

I love this! I don't feel so bad about it anymore! If I am eating somehting bad (usually ice cream in the middle of the day), I go hide in the laundry room to eat it so the kids don't ask for any. If we are at a party, I get the kids plates ready, 2 at a time so people know it's not for me. Then I pile on extra food so I can eat what they don't

. I do that so no one has to see me go back for seconds.

**luvlex1017** · July 13th, 2008, 02:08 PM

Wow, I really didn't think other people did this lol. Hello, my name is Rebecca and I am a food hider lol. I would go out and buy chocolate or other junk food and hide them around the house so no one knew they were there. OR I would leave them in my trunk and when everyone was in bed, go get it and binge away. Another thing I famously did was bake cookies at 11/12 at night, eat 3/4 of them, then in the morning tell the kids I only made a few. I always felt sooo bad about it. But at the same time, in a way I am glad. BEcause I have always been really really good at limiting my kids junk and sugar intake, I didn't want them to grow up like me. I just wasn't ready to change me yet.

**scatanafas** · July 13th, 2008, 01:58 PM

Oh Gosh , I'm the queen of the eating excuses..the only one I can think of now was hiding candy in my bathroom so that he wouldn't know I ate it all..another time I was waiting for him to get into the shower, so I can go attack the last piece of Popei's chicken.......sometimes I find myself asking my son "are you going to finish that?" and being disappointed if he says yes.....I t hink my all out low was eating a whole container of cream puffs, that big plastic bin form teh warehouse sore....you know the one? I was so depressed and wanted to kill myself that night...good thing I didn't, so I can be on this forum and annoy you all! bahahhahaha

**cashmonkies** · July 13th, 2008, 01:54 PM

OMG, LMAO..

So I am reading this and thinking, This women has been spying on my. LMAO. I did the same stuff. Not sure why either. My husband wouldnt care if I ate something. Ok since you shared , I will also.

I use to make this awesome chocolate cheesecake. I LOVED this. So I didnt make it to often, cause I would just eat away at it. Well this one time, There was just a lil under half a cheesecake (normal pie size), so I sat here at the computer with it, and before I knew it, it was gone. I was so ashamed. Husband came home later and wanted a piece of it. I made this huge story up. I could have said something small, but the lies keept coming out. I ended up telling him, I was moving things around in the frige, and the dang pie slipped out. It fell flat on the floor upside down. Then I started telling him how the dog went crazy and was trying to get it, and I was panicing cause he wouldnt stay out of the kitchen (we have a 200 pound dog) and I had to drag him outside so he wouldnt touch the chocloate.

UGH, I was so ashemed and felt like I was a dang kid, making excuses to my father. It was horriable. lol

Oh and I have done the drive thru also, grab a double cheeseburger from mcdonals, eat it, stop at the gas station near my house, throw out the trash and come home and cook. LOL

**benson012094** · July 13th, 2008, 01:52 PM

Well, if I buy Oreos, I hide them so I can be sure I get some. If I leave them out, the kids will eat them all before I get to them, so I just hide them. How sad...hiding cookies for kids. FOR SHAME!!!

**Raquel** · July 13th, 2008, 01:28 PM

Ever do anything that you are embarrassed of ashamed of when it comes to food?

If so - confess it now.

Seriously, I thought of this last night and thought what the hell was I thinking. Anyway .... for the longest time I would eat all the ice cream and either rush out to buy more to put in freezer so my husband wouldn't realize I had eaten it all.
Keep in mind, I had to eat more out of that one so it would be the same as the other one before I finished it.

Another one ... again to do with ice cream, would be the excuse: I left the ice cream on the counter to get soft, totally forgot about it, and it all melted.

Let's see, I would sometimes grab something on the way home and throw out the evidence so I could still eat with my family later w/o any one thinking "But she already ate"

That's all I can think of for now.
