I was craving some of my fav sugar cookies from Rutters. (I live in southern Pa). So I bought them... ate them... then realized they just were not as good as I remembered and just not worth eathing again.

Anyone else have any foods this has happened with???

    Yup! I'm finding that most of the crap foods I used to eat & loved are NOT worth the calories anymore. A couple of months ago, we went to our once favorite "cheat " meal place, a Chinese fast food joint: Panda Express. I didn't even finish my meal! Didn't taste good anymore and I felt SICK afterwards! I can still down sweets without feeling bad though! :bigsmile:

    milk chocolate hershey bar. Used to gobble them down. got one for valentines day and after about 3 pieces realized it wasn't very good. I realized there were a ton of healthy snacks that I would enjoy way more.

    I ate one of those "Hostess" type apple pies yesterday, then I logged it on here and it came up 470 calories. Yeah, that wasn't worth it.

    The Quesadilla's I ordered for today, haven't ate them yet, but seen they were anywhere from 800-1000 calories for the 3... NOT gonna be worth it!

    About 5 years ago, I stopped eating McDonalds for over a year. I had myself to the point of thinking it would make me sick to eat it. Unfortunatly, one day I had no choice (in a hurry with a 7year old) and started eating it again... Haven't had it now since the end of 2010!

    Those high fiber bars! You know, the ones with about 9g. I can't handle that much soluable fiber and I feel like I"m going to die until they pass through!

    That happens to me a lot now. I've changed my eating habits so much, so now when I eat pretty much anything that I usually stay away from (candy, fast food, chips, whatever), I think, "Ewww...that doesn't taste as good as I remembered." And then when I log in the cal. afterwards I think, "Wow. That was SO not worth it!" The good thing is that b/c I've gone through this so many times now, I don't even WANT to eat the things I used to crave. I already know that they're not worth it! The only thing that may still tempt me are wings....and they are SO bad for you!

    Totally been there! I stopped eating McDs in high school and I got a craving for a Big Mac about 7 years ago. I gave in when I had no other option and it was so gross!

    Fast food burgers and fries. We went to In N Out for my daughters birthday. It was still yummy, but afterward I felt awful. It gave me the worst upset stomach.

    but those ARE worth it. haha!

    uh i mean. no. they arent. do not eat them!!!!



    i am addicted to wendy's and although i do sometimes get it (not nearly as much as i used to) and think they are almost always worth it, the FRIES on the other hand. i often say they were not worth the calories, especially if they are cold. if they are fresh out of the fryer and hot/warm and perfectly salted and cooked then i dont say that. but i think because of the times that i do go to the drive through (right after lunch or dinner peak so the fries are cold) i always wish i didnt eat the fries. now i try not to even order them because more often than not they arent worth it.

    Almost........I just started, so I haven't had that much temptation to worry about, but I almost.....Like just now..... ate a honey bun. I looked it up on here before i ate it and saw that it had 470 calories, so I looked at the honey bun again and noticed it's gooey icing and sudenly got disgusted......went for a fruit cup instead, YAY!

    Chips. They don't do anything exept satisfy the crunch craving. I'm better off eating celery or carrots. Chips are just empty calories and high sodium.
