i had me a slurpee yesterday!!
I didn't know there was a time limit. I got there 3 hours after it ended.
I try to keep myself in check around free food, but I won't go way out of my way to get it (e.g., visiting 5 different Chik Fil A's for a free meal).0 -
No I don't eat because food is free. I can control myself. But Booze...I never say no to free booze.
where does this happen? and is it fun? do we get to dress up? or see others dressed up? as pimps?0 -

I don't know why, we think these "free" days are so fun? And we never encountered "crowds"?0 -
I dressed as a COW today hahahaha But I got a salad at Chicfila and no I am not going there for dinner. But I also happen to enjoy there salads, if I didn't like it I wouldn't do it.0

There's no crowd if you're too late! :bigsmile:0 -
I am having to break myself of this habit and it's difficult. There have been a few very hard times in my life where I didn't know where the next meal was coming from. So now I'm struggling to not chipmunk any free food just because it's there.
But yeah. It's always been super hard for me to turn down free food. I think it comes from the same place that makes it hard for me to not finish the food on my plate EVERY DAMN TIME.0 -

You obviously don't know me because I'm well aware that you don't have to deprive yourself. But regular consumption of fried chicken and slurpess isn't exactly getting your nutrition on. But again...whatever

But what if it's regular consumption of ice cream? Is that okay?0 -
I do. I have very low resistance.
Yesterday we had free samosas and ice lollies at work, and today we had free cans of pop.
I had 3 samosas, 3 lollies and today 3 cans of pop... :blushing:0 -
Ignoring the rant side of things and just answering the main question: No, I don't just eat whatever is free. If it's free and it's something that would keep me from my goals, it's not really free. I'm paying for it with time: I'm one more day further away from what I really want. In order for me to make an exception, it's gotta be something truly awesome TO ME. Slurpees and Chik-Fil-A are not even in the ballpark.0

THIS!! I was in a freaking 7-11 too and had no idea! I bought a protein bar and some almonds. :grumble:0 -
No but I also don't hesitate to throw out leftovers. Used to think I shouldn't "waste" food but I realized if I put it in my body when I don't need it that I'm pretty much treating my body like a trash can. Free? Already paid for? Not reasons for me to eat it if I don't need the fuel.
i agreed with you up until the left overs part - if you are eating healthy to become with and have healthy food left over from the night before then how are you treating your body like a trash can the next day? i'm all about left overs and i'll eat them until it's gone or it's gone bad.0 -

your girlfriend is BLUE?!?! how many blue slurpees did she HAVE yesterday :bigsmile: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
To be fair the sugar "free" slurpee option is pretty darn good and fairly low calorie.0

I always take free if I haven't already eaten. I wouldn't do 5 slurpies. Probably wouldn't do any slurpies, because it's not a meal I'd be replacing with something I bought with my own money. But whenever someone buys me lunch or dinner I always comply so I don't have to eat my own food later at home.0

where I work, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks and whatever you can think of is free. and being honest that's my biggest challenge toward losing weight.0

I usually cook small enough portions that there are no leftovers but, if I have leftovers that's great! One less meal for me to have to cook.0
