    I feel a bit sorry for the OP now. Maybe he had an epiphany and was excited to share :smile:

    Take it up with sabine.

    I don't have any issues with anyone here. I was just trying to find the motive behind OP's post :smile:

    For people like me, it's more about enjoying the life I will have being at a healthy weight, and learning to make better choices. Just because I don't eat how I used to, which was a very awesome amount for my size, doesn't mean I don't enjoy what I eat or that anything less than Super Nachos and 10 beers is not enjoyable.

    Jus' sayin'.

    and can afford an organic pantry......then that's awesome. And I'm sincerely happy for you. But I like pizza and chips and and beer among other things. All I'm saying is that if your eating little a rabbit and hate it then don't do it. IT could your last MEAL. We were meant to enjoy eating, so eat what you want and work out harder! And longer! And more frequently! That's what I do and I've lost 6 lbs in under two weeks.

    If I knew it was my last meal and that I would die shortly after, I would eat chocolate (lots of it), and onion rings (lots of them as well). Well actually I would die if I did this since I'm allergic to both chocolate and onions.....

    I like this thread. I didn't like the drunk, high, literacy reference. But all good, if everyone is good with it.

    Christinev297, what she suggested may be my motive for this post is correct.

    So is the question "what wold be your last meal be if you knew it was going to be your last meal"? If that is the case I am going to say Long John Silver because I have never eaten there, it looks cool, and that would put the pressure on them seeing how they will be fixing a man his last meal.

    If THAT were the actual question: regardless of diet, regardless of health, IFF I were going to die after this meal?
    Yeah, lots of pizza. As much pizza as I wanted. A big filet mignon. A bottle of really nice sauvignon blanc. And whatever else I craved at that moment.

    That said, based on his follow up posts, I don't think that was the oddly worded point of the OP. I think he was getting at: do something you can sustain.

    If so, I agree.

    I agree that we should eat good and satisfying food.

    At the same time, food should not be used as a reward. We are not "treating" ourselves by eating whatever we want, whenever we want--really, that is self-abuse. It's pretty normal in US culture, but it isn't a good thing. If food is a very large percentage of the pleasure that you have in your life, that's something to re-evaluate.

    On an entirely unrelated note, I HATE the word Gavacho/a. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Sorry gavacho661...I don't understand why anyone would ever call himself this!

    This is our last meal....ever. Do the consequences really matter?

    I should have been clearer in my comment, in that these are the only things I don't eat (for obvious reasons). Anything else I want I fit in my daily calorie goals, since I'm down 30 pounds and losing 1-2 pounds a week it's working and it's something I find sustainable.

    OP: totally fine that it made you laugh, it was meant to be funny in a twisted ironic sort of way (yes I have a weird sense of humor)

    Yup I'm allergic to both, chocolate causes me to break out in blistering sores (though if I take enough benedryl I can cheat a little bit), however onions cause my airway to swell shut. It's so much fun being out on a first date and eating a hidden onion in your dish ( that happened on the very first date with my husband).

    If you really KNOW that it is, go nuts!

    I was once in a position of being told that I was going to die. One of the things that popped into my head was that I was sad I hadn't had ceviche recently. So I guess I fail at "unhealthy last meal." :)

    I would wind up not eating anything for indecision. There are too many really great dishes from which to choose.

    Like, would you go for a comfort food, something nostalgic? Or something decadent/unusual? Would you try to replicate an amazing meal you had once? What if it disappointed? Yeah, I'd probably wind up sitting it out, hungry :/
