I eat for two.....

[Mrs. Edge]

But I'm not pregnant!

I don't know what it is with me, but I eat like a fiend at all times. In fact, not only do I eat a lot, but I also have to eat in multiples of 2! I can't have 3 cookies, it will start to bother me until I even it out.

In fact, one day I was at a sausage vendor and ordered 2 sausage dogs. The vendor looked at me like I was crazy and said 2???? People eat 2 hot dogs all the time tho! You'd think that she would have been thrilled to sell these additional wares.

I try and try to control my appetite but to no avail......

 

[guaca]

I confer

R U sure??? maybe you should take that test again..or check the rabbit...

I have a question..where exactly do you stash it all...really I'd pay good money for that information...I've been in your company for lunch, dinner and breakfast and I can honestly say not only do you eat for 2....but you may eat for a few more...

Question - when it comes to Haagen Daaz, must you have 2 tubs as well....honestly I have no idea where a person your size puts it all..you must have the metabolism of a 2 year old...ok maybe not 2...12...

Folks she speaks the truth and then some....never in all my travels have I seen anyone eat as much as you...not male, not female and not animal that's for sure...I bet you right now you are getting yourself ready to have a snack...make sure you have 2...

Cheers

oh wow i got all excited for a min. and thought you were going to announce that you are pregnant.


have you started exercising a lot lately? that could explain appetite.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I was just going to ask the same thing!!!!


I want your metabolisim.

 

[Angel]

lol at ya!! There is NOTHING wrong with a healthy appetite, especially with a figure likes yours! Ahhh, you are the envy of us all Jess.

 

[Mrs. Edge]

Awww, you guys.

I hate dieting. I always have. I'm not one of these women who goes out and orders a salad. It's one of the reasons I could never have been a professional dancer. When I was in Holland auditioning for the Dutch National Ballet School, I ate 2 plates of poffertjes (sp??) right before the audition! For those of you uschooled in this culinary delight, poffertjes are little round puffy pancakes mounded onto a plate with half a pound of butter and a mountain of icing sugar!

The night before my audition with the English National Ballet School, I went to the Carvery (a huge buffet) and had something like 5 helpings of everything. It was just unbelievable. I think I tried to sabotage myself subconsciously on purpose!

I come from a family of huge eaters,with me being the hugest. Actually, I do tend to gain weight if not careful. The only way I keep things under control is the ballet class....fortunately, I can tuck all the excess weight in my thighs where it remains more or less hidden, but it IS there!

But my eating really is kind of obsessive compulsive. I really need to get it under control because the older I get, the harder it will be to get rid of the excess weight. I have NO WILLPOWER about anything!

oh wow i got all excited for a min. and thought you were going to announce that you are pregnant.

i thought so too lol

 

[ABEL]

have you talked to your doctor about your eating? Maybe get some blood tests done, and talk to your doctor to make sure there's no underlying problems...like hyperthyroid or something?

 

[zonelistener]

So funny......

I think we talked about this in the greasy spoon a few Saturdays ago, no?

I haven't seen this eating frenzy when I have visited with you (one bran muffin - no wait, that wasn't a bran muffin - and another small item - does not count as eating a lot.)

Well, if this is the case - you do hide it amazingly.

 

[theSoulfulMofo]

When I go to a record store, I can't buy just ONE CD ... I always have to buy another one to accompany my purcase.

 

[Mrs. Edge]

As a matter of fact Abel, I went and got my thyroid tested just the other day. We'll see what they say!

Zone, that muffin was just a snack. I didn't want to make a pig out of myself in front of you, but believe me, spend a little time with me and you will be amazed.

oinker..

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

OMG! Me too Jess!

Actually, I just can't stand to see anything go to waste...and I eat when I'm bored too. But I can like, go to McDonalds, eat a Big MAc Meal...and still be hungry. It's sad.

Thankfully all those years of dance kept me thin...although the weight is creeping up and settling in my thighs...gah.

I have like, really good days wehre I eat very little. But then I have obsessive days where I need to eat everything in my house. For some reason, this weekend I decided to eat copious amounts of cereal. I ate every brand of cereal we had, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack. I hate grains...

This eating...maybe it's a dance thing?
*thinks of all the National Ballet dancers*

Or not....

(I don't remember eating that much when we met for dinner...although I'm quite sure Heather and I ordered desert...did you? I can't remember. Fuzzy brain).


BTW--you never told me you had auditioned for Ballet companies! I had no idea you were that good/serious!!

 

[Mrs. Edge]

OMG! That bit about the cereal reminds me of this time when I skipped ballet to go on a "muffin tour of Toronto" where I went to all these different stores to eat every kind of muffin I could think of. (this was how I rebelled as a teenager!). I must have had about 8 of them. *sigh* You know, I probably would have been a proper dancer if I didn't eat so much.

Where and how did you get that avatar???!!! I need a dance one too!!!

Anyway, maybe it is a ballet thing all this eating.

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

It's got to be a dance thing...

*lmao* Jess, that's friggen HILARIOUS! That's exactly the kind of thing that I would do! I'm a bit of a muffin freak myself. I have to learn some self control.

Oh, and my avatar--a photo from the NBS website..it's Xiao Nan Yu. I had a program from last year that had this picture in it-- It's my favourite. So I decided to steal it from the NBS site. I had to crop it a bit, but, ah well....*looks at picture* I wish my attitude looked anything close to that...
On a side note, I've never seen Swan Lake. Do you recommend it??

 

[Mrs. Edge]

Yes, I've seen the new Swan Lake, it is very good. It's on this winter! Zone is coming, you should join us!

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

Another Inteference night at the ballet?

I'm totally there!

 

[melon]

I sometimes get too busy to eat all that I'm supposed to, and, as a result, I've felt my stomach shrink. I can't eat nearly as much as I used to...

[meegannie]

I eat way too much, especially when I'm depressed. I don't think I have that thing that tells you when you're full.
