    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 :/

    How about all of them?

    And end your life with nausea?

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.....

    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 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
    You're allergic to both? bummer! Glad you've found what works for you!

    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).
    I bet he is the perfect man for you! Glad you can cheat from time to time with chocolate!

    Naaaw :smile:
    A friend of mine was on a first date. She had been constipated for many days beforehand. Long story short, he found her slouched over the toilet seat, having passed out from the massive amount of strain she had to do to pass those gargantuan boulders :noway:
    Sorry, wildly off topic, I know :wink:

    Ps, they're married now :+1:

    Unless it was set out tapas style, maybe that would work.

    Would never happen
  • 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!

    Hmmm.....well, I also didn't like it at first. But to be quite honest it was used as a term of endearment in my case. The same Mexican family I married into had nicknames like Gordo, which you know what that means, yet also a term of endearment within a family. I'm divorced from this woman 5 years ago and currently closer to them than my own blood ties. Still call me that and many peoe have nicknames that at a time were offensive or just didn't like but after time it becomes something many in that situation come embrace nicknames they once hated. Also I been called worse and didn't care. Not sure why you do.

    I was once in a position of being told that I was going to die.

    Do tell

    Well, to make a very long story short, I had a ruptured brain aneurysm. I had a craniotomy 11 years ago tomorrow. When my neurosurgeon first identified what was going on, he said said "this is likely going to take your life." Ceviche was the first thing that popped into my head. I had lots of deeper thoughts in the minutes that followed, but the first thing was being sad that I had been too busy to eat one of my favorite (healthy) foods.

    I wasn't allowed to eat again for the next 12 days. It was several months before I got my ceviche.

    Things like that either make or break the romance. My hubby does not handle a medical crisis well and freaked. The manager of the restaurant called 911. I don't remember much detail (thankfully) though I do know the had to put in a breathing tube in the ambulance. I figured we would work out when he was in the ER when I woke up. He always (even 18 years later) asks the waiter at least twice to make sure there are no onions on my food

    Oh, it wasn't. It ruptured on a Friday morning. I didn't even get to the hospital until Saturday afternoon.

    Instead of falling over dead like a sensible person, I kept teaching. Then, the next day, I drove to a clinic...and then drove myself to a hospital--almost an hour away, on the freeway. It's almost a miracle that I didn't die or kill someone else.

    Oh, I see. You took something negative and turned it around. :)

    I find the word VERY racist. It's also something I get called a lot, and not as a term of endearment. I am a blond, light-skinned, non-Mexican Latina. I live in a very Mexican area. People are not always so nice about this. I would rather be called Gorda any day, but I am not fat enough anymore!
