Transcript
I used to be "super" morbidly obese, super morbidly obese. And now I'm only overweight. Haha, thanks. NHS BMI scale. I remember when I used to weigh myself. WIUTEIAD (what I used to eat in a day). When I was 115 kg and genuinely being like, I do not understand how I am this weight. Like I don't get that much. Surely I don't eat that much. Anyway, today I've decided to do some research into what I used to eat. Day with two pieces of white toast with Cathedral City spreadable cheese and Marmite. Calorie counter: 450. Now if you've had it before, do not knock it because it's still an, I haven't had it for years, but it was so good. That was my first breakfast because I used to get up at like half 5 in the morning to do a full face of makeup. And then I'd go and have my second breakfast. My second breakfast was from the Boots meal deal. Shout out to any ex Boots employees. I used to get a yoghurt pot and granola. And I think, oh, this is very healthy. It's yoghurt, it's granola. It was the chocolate version. And it had like calories in it. So I used to eat that before work. To about 1:00. And I think right, lunchtime. So I would again, come down to the shop floor. Always get this specific one because not because I liked it, because it had three sandwiches in it instead of two. So I had a BLT, cheese and onion and a chicken salad sandwich. Like nearly 600 calories for that. I have a packet of Doritos to go with it. And then, oh my gosh, Boots, I don't know if they still do these like cookie dough brownie bar things. Good, but I used to have one every day. And I would wash it all down with a very healthy full fat Dr Pepper. Calorie counter: 1848. It'd be 4:00 and it'd be second break time. And I think, hmm, feeling a bit peckish. Wonder why? Because there's no nutrients in anything that I've eaten today. So again, I'd come down to the shop and buy sour cream and onion Pringles. You know, the mini cans. A Boost bar, probably another Dr Pepper. Calorie counter: 2394. And be ready for the last hour and a half of my shift. And you think she's eating a lot. Yeah, she's about to eat a lot more. Let's see this was a Saturday. And my parents decided to go out. Happy days. I can do this in private. And I'd order Domino's. I would get a large pepperoni pizza. The combo of chicken strips and wedges, as well as a garlic bread. Calorie counter: 6347. Garlic bread. The bread. I would demolish every single bite. And if you think I'd finished Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream. The whole tub. We're now sitting at about 7,500 calories for that one day. That even my glasses, they just can't deal with it. They're just like I'm off. So I think we cracked the code on why I weighed 115 kg.
