    almonds, or most nuts for that matter, they're so damned tasty and so high in calories

    Yep. Can NOT keep nuts around the house. Damn coconut coated blue diamond almonds from yesterday. Dang near ate the whole can in one sitting. Cashew nuts, I haven't had those in so long. Same with peanuts.

    POUTINE ! For all you nonCanadians , this is French fries with gravy and cheese !! oh so good !

    Oh yes poutine! From Harvey's, slathered with gravy and cheese curds. I miss Ontario! I haven't dared to figure out how many calories was in a large but I still dream of it.

  • Everything everyone has said so far. I'd quote you all... but I'm guessing that's a forum no-no. :tongue:

    If I had to pick ONE thing though... probably peanut butter. I ordered some PB2 the other day, so we'll see how it satisfies my peanut butter obsession. I'm hoping it will curb my peanut butter guilt- I can eat three or more spoonfuls and still want more!

    IF PB2 does its job, my next vice would be anything dessert related. Bread pudding... cheesecake... oreos... brownies... ice cream... you name it.

    ETA- Can you tell I like, no love, sweets? I can't pick just one!

    Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge chunk. I have a plan. If I were to make it past goal weight to ''ideal'' weight, I'm going to have a day of eating whatever I want and however much just for that day. I might gain 5 pounds over night but if I had gotten to 136, I wouldn't care. There's a tub of Ben and Jerry's coming my way

    LOL yes. I just got some Chocolate Peppermint Crunch and nearly cried seeing the calories per serving. But I was thankfully well below my goal so eating that bit wasn't a problem today. Guess I'm going to have to say goodbye to it soon.

    Soda. And don't give me that diet stuff. I don't want artificial sweeteners and they taste bad too.

    Wine.
  • I can't choose just one so I'll have to go with cheese stuffed bread fried in wine and served with gravy. I know that makes no sense but neither does having to choose only one >:(

    sfbaumgarten: Good beer.

    Yes!
    djtj14: BEER.

    Yes! Yes! Even broader category. Includes even not so good beer 'cause sometimes that is all that's available!
    stormystrickland: alcohol.

    Yes! Yes! Yes! Now beer . . . and liquor . . . and wine . . . and sparkling wine . . . and port . . .

    ETA: fixed bold tag and missed Ingrunert's response: "Wine." Comment: "Yes!!"

    Not lower in calorie, but perhaps make it change the way my body uses it: SALT :grumble:

    Pizza. And yes, I know I could make my own pizza that is significantly lower in calories and better for me (and I do). But if we're talking magic here, I would like someone to magically make stuffed crust, extra cheesy, extra greasy pizza to be lower in fat and calories, please. Oh, and chocolate cheesecake.

    BINGO!

    Pie. A really, really nice fruit pie with a crumb topping. I don't even care about the ice cream... but if you could cut the calories / fat on the pie that would be awesome.

    Crisps! I never get tired of crisps. Imagine eating a whole massive bag of Doritos or salt and vinegar Kettle Chips and not having to cry with shame afterwards. That's the dream!

    I like the way all you think! I'm adding pizza to my list, and including both greasy delivery pizza and high quality artisan pizza. My husband is a pizza slut (his words, not mine) and would order it everyday if I let him. And if it's around, I'm gonna want to eat that more than a salad or other healthy choice! We've been good for a few weeks, which means there is pizza in the very near future.


    ...and now I'm hungry after reading everyone's responses!
