'bad for you foods' you've eaten lately ?

for me, food wise, my confessions:

-- chocolate bars (which i don't usually eat, but have been craving lately)

-- refined sugars (in coffee, tea, cola, in my diet all over the place right now !) i really need to cut sugar out.

-- last week i had french fries and a cheese burger i never do that, i don't even like beef ! just an irresistible craving

-- too much cheese (cheese pizza) in my diet, too many pasta dishes

-- pancakes

beverage wise, well, COFFEE is the big number one. i'd like to cut it out completely, but i'm content with just cutting down for the time being. i don't drink any hard alcohol (well, it's rare) and only occasionally drink beer (even though i have a special place in my heart for certain brews). i love red wines/cannot resist em!...



i've actually gained about 5 pounds in the past 6 months or possibly less (it seemed to happen so fast) which is okay by me but still a bit of an adjustment..

let me also counter those foods with the fact that i eat a ton of fruit and vegetables, everyday, i'm eating more fish and i drink gallons of water !

that's all that comes to mind, right now.. you ?

feeling guilty (but still love food),

Too much bread! I have a breadmaker that has been working too hard lately! Fresh bread smells so heavenly and I crave it!

I am going insane over chocolate. Chocolate biscuits, drinks, cereal bars with chocolate, natural chocolate, chocolate covered sweets, sweets with chocolate in the centres . . . .

I could go on, but you catch my drift I'm sure :-)

oh gosh ! how could i forget bread?! i eat a lot of bread, my grandma's the one with the bread machine and she is constantly making me things... fresh bread, buns, cinnamon buns...

:goodbad:

Brautwurst today, grilled cheddar cheese sandwich (in lotso butter) over the weekend, cookies at lunch yesterday.

Too much cake and pie. People kept bringing me birthday cake and pie and I just kept eating it... Oooops. But I'm trying to counter it will really long bikerides and walks, and *mostly* good food. But I have to let myself have one treat (like cookies or something) everyday. I like sweets way too much, unfortunetly.

I had that on the weekend to! Whenever I eat grilled cheese I feel like a kid again!

Chocolate is not bad for you. Eating a bit of chocolate, 30 minutes before a meal can actually help you eat less. It, also, contains theobromines (sp?) that stimulate the production of endorphins, improving your mood and alleviating pain.

As for "bad for me" foods: I got into the nacho cheese and tortilla chips, today. Actually, though, the jalapenos help my arthritis (those endorphins, again).

my worst addiction...

i eat those all the time (grilled cheddar cheese)...

oh ya, i also made a lasagna last week for my grandma... mmm..

and i want to make it again, for dinner :tounge2: maybe with a salad, this time..

i grilled cheese sanwiches with chicken and bbq sauce.

Birthday cake and ice cream.!
Milky way bars!
Ranch Dressing on pototoes!
White Bread! Thats a lot!
And I drink Pepsi all day,everyday!

oh dear, this thread is making me hungry LOL
last time i ate something that i shouldnt would have to be... well i dont like margarine or fake butter spreads so it would have to be butter - i love butter
i love bread also. i love my french fries in bread (whole wheat!) with melted butter

i don't eat margarine or fake butters, either and i love butter, too... i just choose not to count it as bad for me ~!

Does half of an Angel Food cake count?!

I suddenly feel guilty eating my rice pudding sprinkled with cinnamon while browsing the forum....

I have to eat at least one chocolate bar every day.

me too! or 4 mimi ones!

Carbs are my downfall. Pasta, bread, all that. I don't crave sweets very often, so at least I don't have 2 strikes against me! My other kinda-bad-for-me treat was that I bought 2 pounds of roasted salted peanuts. But, but, but they were only $1/pound!!

Yola, at least you have an excuse for the cravings. You're pregnant!
