I have no will power when it comes to food and drink. If there is there is food in front of me I'll eat it. If there is drink in front of me I'll drink it.

How much will power do you show with the ol' victuals?

It's not an issue for me at all. I eat when I feel hungry. Food is something I eat because I have to. I don't put on spare flesh because I am too nervy and fidgety, I guess.

word 2 martian skidkid......i eat like Jughead Jones, too hyperactive to get chubbed out.....it is imperative to pull out nutritional switchups regularly: for me its like, 4 days near-vegan, a "steak week", a "pussy that smells like chlorine and makes you really wonder" week, a sushi and sandwiches only week, and so it goes......it also helps to be a happy defecator.....see a nigga like me will bring in a gameboy, glass of water, pack of smokes, cell phone, and make an afternoon of it

ILM will never die, it just needs reviving.

I have a frightening capacity for food and drink. Intake today = 2 scones with cream & jam and 2 slices of thickly buttered toast for breakfast, kinchi raman noodle soup for lunch, bacon sandwiches for tea, half a cream cake for afters, three pints of Guinness for 'supper', 2 crumpets and 2 more slices of toast and a lump of cheese for 'just before bed'. Today is a 'light' day and I have seemingly forgotten to eat my regulation Cream Egg, Orange Club, and two Granny Smiths. Plus I had a bottle of rioja last night which spilled over into today, by about 20 minutes.

here's my boring goody 2 shoe answer:
you should plan in advance all your meals for the month and display this menu on the fridge or something.
You could also attribute an average amount of cash for each meal (like .50 cents for breakfast, 3$ for supper) then when you did the math get the exact amount of Cash this will cost you and go to the grocery store to buy just what you need and commit yourself not to buy anything else until next month.
I guess seeing this plan on the fridge would help to reinforce your will power.

if this fails, the state should fine non heriditary fatsos to compensate for what they cost to the collective. (please excuse this neo-liberal joke)

But what if your freezer is not big enough for an entire month's supply of ice lollies?

(N.B. This is not a hypothetical example.)

Sébastien's answer doesn't seem goody two-shoes, it seems impossible. Eating isn't like planning when to take your shirts to the dry-cleaners, it's one of the great pleasures in life. There's no way at all I could adhere to a month's schedule of meals... or even a week's. Commit yourself to not buying anything until next month?? What about produce? Milk? Perishables? Anyway, when it comes to drink, if it's in front of me I will almost inevitably drink it. I have very little will power I guess. Funny, I've always been skinny too.

What ramosi said, except for me it's chicken and cheese, sausage and eggs, eggs and cheese and bacon, pasta and cheese, steak and cheese, taco bell, cheese and cheese with bread and cheese, roast beef on kaiser roll with cheese, eggs and pork chops, steak, + random raw vegetables throughout the day, washed down with either beer or gatorade or ginger ale depending on the weather and my mood. Also: Garlic pepper and/or jalapenos on nearly everything, unless spicy mustard/red pepper/hot sauce is more appropriate.

I used to eat ice cream by the half gallon in single sittings with a glass of stout (and a refill handy) while watching TV.

I have a 32" waist and have never suffered a kidney stone (knock on wood).

― Millar (Millar), Sunday, 13 April 2003 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

My waist is slightly bigger than that - I normally have a 34, though sometimes a 32 still, but I am 43 so I'm not too troubled by that - but I have had a kidney stone, years ago. Absolute fucking torture. The doctors told me it was the worst pain there is, along with the worst childbirth, which interested me - they must have a scale! I know that if they had offered me one more hour of that pain or death, I wouldn't have hesitated to take death.

That sorts that out, then!

I've stopped drinking beer and eating bread, on the basis that thinks you consume far too much of far too regularly make you fat and unhealthy, as long as they begin with b.

you can always adapt the idea to make it viable to you, like drop dairy products / buy vegetables every day but follow da budget. I eat roughly at the same time everyday so there is no loss of freedom there. You can either take an afternoon to cook for the month and store it all in the freezer or having bought all the ingredients you need for the month, cook following your whim every day : it doesn't really matter the point being MarkH needs a gimmick like discipline to avoid eating everything that is in front of him.
Like, in april everybody have 30 suppers but if you can't stop eating, don't plan anything not even in a fuzzy way and buy food with a card then you risk eating the equivalent of 35 or 46 &+ suppers .

i don't have any willpower issues when it comes to food. i eat when i'm hungry. i have willpower issues with booze, in that when i start drinking its hard to stop. i have cut back to about 2 nights a week.
