What is something way too high in calories but you cant resist and how often do you have it?

Baby back ribs. I have them 2-3 times a year but I'd have them at least once a week if they weren't so darn high in calories.
Same for brats, but those tear through my gut like the Tasmanian Devil in a china shop, so it's a little easier to not eat those. But oooohhhhh man they taste good!0 -
My weakness is the Canadian delicacy: Beaver Tails. They're just so delicious, I can't help but buy one every time I go to the zoo...doesnt help that my favourite is the one doused in nutella and reeses pieces! (Though I may tone it down and get cinnamon sugar instead...better of two evils toward my diet, lol)0

This. I buy frozen greek yogurt (Yasso is a good brand) because I know there's no way in hell I'd be content eating a single serving of ice cream, especially the good kind. I used to eat 1-2 pints of ice cream a day.
Have you tried Halo Top ice cream? I've yet to, but I've heard really good things about it. Each pint has about 240-280 kcal and a lot of protein. It's about $7 a pint, though.0 -
Ruffles sour cream and cheddar potato chips. I just love them. Luckily they sell them in small 180 calorie bags which usually works out perfect for me. They are one of those things that I can eat one bag and be ok - I just have to remember to get the small bag (because I would eat the big bag too if I had one). Normally I can do big bags and then portion out but I don't know these are just so good. And actually this made me want some, so I am going to go grab a bag now.0

Literally anything sweet or anything dippable. I have one hell of a sweet tooth. Plus, I've always loved dips. Especially chip dips, no matter if it's basic onion dip or some fancy layered nacho dip. It's a sad guarantee that if I have something dippable, I'll eat wayyyyy more than anyone ever should0

But ribs arent high in calories. The BBQ sauce they are usually drenched in is haha. Get zero cal or at least no sugar bbq sauce and you can now have these once a months
Um yeah, baby back ribs are very high calories. About 1000-1200 per rack. It's very fatty meat.
I don't always put sauce on them, often we just do a dry rub, but if want sauce I want sauce. And if I have sauce it will definitely have sugar in it. Sugar is what makes the sauce caramelize.0 -

True, but not all BBQ sauces are created equal. Many have sugar as the #1 ingredient. To me thats not bbq sauce haha. Whats a 1000cal once a month thats a 1h or 10K run 
Then eat them once a month and I'll do what I like, which would never be running 10k. I make my own sauces.0 -
I didn't even think of ribs when I originally replied. Myself, and my middle daughter can ravage a couple of racks in secondsNeed2Exerc1se wrote: »Baby back ribs. I have them 2-3 times a year but I'd have them at least once a week if they weren't so darn high in calories.

and it's brutal - sauce and shreds of meat everywhere, ceiling, floor lol.
It ain't good unless it's messy

There's no way I can ever eat a rack, so it's not really an issue for me, lol. I can fit half a rack and some lower calorie sides in a regular day, because at least it's filling (and I try not to go overboard on the bbq sauce).0 -

I don't even bother if I can't have at least one whole rack. In fact, when I do eat them I usually don't have any sides so I can eat more ribs. Ribs and wine, that's all I need. And napkins. Or a hose. 3 -
Mmm I'm having baby back ribs on Sunday... Yummmm.1

No kidding! Not sure I could even do a half. Just not one of my favorites.

That made me laugh! Mostly because the last time I made ribs my husband ended up with sauce on his socks. I still haven't figured out how he did that.1 -
Pizza is very hard to resist so I just plan it out. We are going to do a papa Murphys thin delight pizza next weekend, I can usually eat half of it and still fit it into my calories! Just have to be smart and conservative for the day at my other meals.0

Oh I love ribs, I just find that half a rack is plenty for me, lol. But I do need cornbread. So ribs and cornbread and I'm happy.0 -

Chocolate! And none of your 90% cocoa solids malarkey - has to be Cadburys dairy milk !0
-
I love Dunkin Hines chocolate cupcakes with vanilla Dream Whip pudding topping. I could eat an entire box of each. I can't be happy with just one or two. So I only make a batch for my birthday because I can't control myself. That is probably the only thing I can't eat in moderation.0
-
Wine and pizza. I could never give it up. I have pizza like once maybe twice a month. And wine about 3 times a month. And it hasn't stopped me from still losing weight0

peanutbutter - I usually have it once a week0

LOL. You missed the point entirely.
not missing the point...if you feel like you need to work out an extra 2hours to burn off the calories from your Dorito "splurge" (in your own words) - then your relationship with food should be addressed
how many dorito's did you eat that you felt that way? any entire bag or a single serving?
IMHO, anyone who has to adhere so strictly to an eating plan that you can even fit in some fun/splurge foods - then it should be addressed[/quote
Geez, who made you the food police? Let her eat whatever she wants however she wants. She wasn't asking for help with anything and she can do what she wants.
I honestly don't understand why people want to force others to change the way they eat/don't eat because they disagree with it. If she feels that she can't splurge, she can't splurge- leave it alone. I doubt there is ANYONE here who can say that they don't have a food with which they have gone a bit "overboard". That doesn't scream eating disorder, it screams I'm human. If someone feels a course of action is best FOR THEM, NOT YOU, why can't you just be supportive. What works for you, I guarantee, does not work for everyone.1 -

FIFY. :flowerforyou:0 -
Chocolate - in any form. I eat a little (OK - sometimes a lot) every day. Dark chocolate is the best thing ever - I have a problem 0

Wine0

Ugh, cheesecake. Definitely cheesecake. There's a reason I never go eat at the Cheesecake Factory anymore. It's my one true weakness!!0
