    Dominos used to have a large pizza for $5 and a bottle of Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill was 1.99

    When I was 8 years old, my sister ordered an XL pizza from papa johns. And I said “Ok…but what are YOU having?” She laughed it off as me saying I’d eat the whole thing myself. I saw no joke. So I made her order a second pizza for herself. She got a small. And when I was done with my pizza, I ate half of her pizza. She then accused me of playing some prank on her. She searched her apartment up and down claiming I was hiding the pizza somewhere. I was like “YOU WATCHED ME EAT MOST OF IT!!!”

    My stomach did not have an “off” button. At least not until decades later when they removed 2/3rds of my colon. Now I can eat something small to medium sized and feel like I’m full.

    But back then? I honestly think if you’d have put 10 XL pizzas in front of me, I’d have eaten them all if I liked the toppings. Then asked for snacks later.

      I think the true horror isn’t that you at an entire XL pizza, but that you ate an entire XL Papa Johns pizza. No one should do that to themselves.

    Why? It doesn’t seem terrifying or amazing to me. Maybe an eyebrow raise.

    Gonna have to disagree with ya there, bud.

    Given how obese americans are, I’m kind of surprised you’ve never seen anyone do it. In my 20s, I could crush an XL and ask for seconds. I still eat a large by myself and I’m not an especially big person.

    Is it though?

    Unless you’re talking party pizza, it’s pretty much designed to be eaten by a single person.

      No, I promise you it isn’t. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Unless it says it’s for one person, it isn’t.

          Unless it says it’s a personal pizza, it isn’t. Check the nutritional facts.

            personal pizza

            Yeah, that’s not a thing or term of any meaning (unless you mean a customised pizza, like choosing your own toppings). But believe what ever you want, mate.

              Are you kidding me? Where do you live? Personal pizza is a very common term everywhere I’ve lived on the east coast US. I’m pretty confident anywhere in the US, at minimum, that’s a common term.

      Pass me a giant thing of marijuana with it, and that shit is doomed.

      Edit: I was trying to say marinara, not really a pot person, but fuck it… it stands.

    My hunger response is all messed up; exceedingly slow to satiation, hungry almost immediately after. I’m basically always hungry even sometimes getting hunger pangs that are physically painful and come with nausea; not eating for even around like 12-16 hours would sometimes cause me to gag and to feel like I needed to throw up. Changing some dietary things has helped, but I’m still almost always hungry and never stay full long.

    Even as little as a year ago, I could put away a large pizza, some ice cream, a meal from McD’s, and more in one day and still be hungry. I probably still could if not for ending up needing to cut gluten (one of the things that seems to have helped). By BMI I’m right on the border between overweight and obese and dropping (I will probably be just ‘overweight’ in mid-Feb 2025 or so).

      Says food is not satiating, always hungry -> proceeds to say they could keep eating unhealthy processed foods designed to make you crave more…

        You clearly missed the point above where I wrote “ending up needing to cut gluten” which kinda precludes eating most of the things on that list.

        These days, except for once a week, I am eating: oatmeal, brown rice (regionally-sourced), some meat (chicken, fish, or pork in order of frequency) I’ve cooked, some veg (much of which I grow myself) I’ve cooked, and some sauce I’ve (at least mostly – I’m not brewing my own soy sauce) made, and often a bit of cheese. Dessert, when I have it, is a handful of chocolate chips. I am still almost always hungry. Once a week, I eat sushi or something similar and have an ice cream.

        Edit: I also feel compelled to note I would only let myself eat like that (the Pizza, burgers, etc.) once every week or two, lest someone think that was my daily life.

      It’s agonizing being hungry constantly. I know I don’t need to eat. But my body is screaming at me it wants to eat and it’s infuriating.

        Food is the only physical addiction that you can’t quit for life or it will kill you. You don’t need beer or cocaine or meth to live, you can live a full happy life without any of those. You can’t live without food.
