Ya, I've spent some time in Europe and in theory, due to your eating slowly, supposedly you would therefore eat less, but apparently not always. Well, it's a good thing you have triathlon to help keep your weight down:)

I tackled an entire large pecan pie from Whole Foods last week, it was that good. Picking up another one tomorrow.

Actually, not me but rather Rocky M:)

"Anyone can be who they want to be IF they have the HUNGER and the DRIVE."

In my younger days I used to sometimes put different combinations of foods together for a meal. For instance pizza, hotdogs and a baked potato or cheeseburger, sweet and sour chicken and mac and cheese.

I'm getting hungry.

Ya, i still do that as most evenings i'll have three "courses". Last night the first was potato chips and tex mex sour cream dip; second was 4 hot dogs; and third was 6 large peanut butter cookies, all washed down with about 24 oz of mtn dew:)

As a college student: Poured 1/2lb bag of plain M&M's into a large jar of half filled with peanut butter and ate all them (some PB was left over).

As an adult: Ate 8 frozen Snickers Ice Cream bars in one sitting. Could have kept going but showed some restraint (just a wee bit).

It took awhile, but I finally discovered that its not the destination that's important, but rather the journey.

I had a pretty good battle with the Bacchanal buffet at Caesar's last month. See here for pictures

plate of sushi - several tuna rolls, california rolls, shrimp, octopus and some random pork stuffs
roast beef, slab bacon, loaded baked potato
cocktail shrimp, lobster chowder, craw fish
carne asada street tacos (pic missing)
snow crab legs (2 plates of those)
little more sushi
carrot cake, gelato
mixed berry chocolate cup

To kick off the season's festivities and to honor Paula Deen, the most fatass of them all I
made a "Gooy Butter Cake".

I plan on making and consuming at least two more before the new year. It's basically 2 sticks
of butter, cake mix, eggs, cream cheese and powdered sugar.

Find out what it is in life that you don't do well, then don't
do that thing.

ive wolfed down an entire pack of Bacon a bunch of times
happens when my wife says shes busy and I need to make my own dinner

In and Out Burger....double meat, double cheese, fries, chocolate shake. Tasted fabulous going down. Felt like crap once it settled in my tummy. It was worth it.

With all due respect, there's a name for that: it's a #1 with a shake. And it's a warmup for the tales of fatassery rippling through this thread. I've eaten some "meals" that are truly unspeakable, things that can maybe be described with a symbol instead of words (like Prince), but they pale in comparison to these fellas' exploits.

If that's the worst thing you've ever put in your body...man, you gotta live a little :)

blog thing - strava thing

Woke up at 12:00pm one day with why looked like the remnants of an entire Taco Bell family meal ( the one that feeds 6 people) all over the bed, my clothes and face. I had no memory of this from the night before. I don't know what was worse, the hangover of the gastric stress. Ruined for days. No Taco Bell since or ever again.

I was a college swimmer and coach. I know that swimming really ignites the furnace. I've participated in and observed some unreal feats of consumption.

When I was in high school, after a 10,000m swim workout on Thanksgiving Day, I went home and had "pre-dinner," three huge slabs of cranberry bread with butter. Then for the actual meal, I had both turkey drumsticks and thighs, the liver, three servings of stuffing/dressing, covered in gravy and cranberry sauce, two bowls of broccoli, a sweet potato, and two slices of chocolate Chip cheesecake. I also drank a glass of wine and smoked a cigar. Then a triple decker sandwich with cheese and mayo a few hours later.

Once, after an 11k swim workout, I ate an entire box of Entemann's chocolate Chip cookies on the drive home. At home I fried up some bacon and then fried up 4 eggs in the bacon fat.

I saw one of my college swimmers, after a practice in California, eat 2(!!!) In-n-Out 4 x 4's, animal style. A 4x4 is four patties and four slices of cheese. He also ate an order of fries and a chocolate shake.
