That's what made me fat!

Time to point the finger- I can think of some foods that are directly responsible for me gaining weight. I can't really eat them anymore, because I won't be able to stop myself.

No knead bread- I found this recipe a few years ago, super easy to make french/sourdough style bread that is better than bakery bread. I would make a loaf every other day and spend the rest of the day eating slices slathered in butter.

Thai iced tea- In Thailand there is a 7-11 on every corner in cities, they have sweet, creamy thai tea in those washing machine type dispensers, spinning around. I cannot resit Thai tea and drank one whenever I saw a 7-11. I spent two months traveling in Thailand, a lot of my clothes were super tight when I got home. I'm sure it didn't help most of the food was fried as well, but I blame the tea.

I'm sure there are more but these are the worst offenders. Is there a specific food that you can't resist, will gorge yourself on and made you gain?

carbs, carbs, and more carbs. White toast with butter, pb & j sandwiches, and potatoes- any way they come!

For me it was donuts, soda, and pasta. Oh and cheese. Can't forget that little bugger.

I have learned to suppress the urge, but it used to be the 12 oz Rib-eye steak from Texas Roadhouse ( medium rare, of course) with creamy horseradish sauce. At one time, I could have eaten one for any meal, any time of day!

Hiya.
White crusty bread with butter is my worst or cheese on toast. Both are banned from the house.

I avoid chocolate covered donuts with sprinkles at all costs (I could eat 4 for breakfast alone, it was easier to buy a dozen because once I had one, craved it all day)

Ive learned to eat icecream in moderation but refuse to buy the big tubs (despite them being cheaper) because I will sit and eat it daily till its gone, and it MIGHT take 2 days. SOmeone told me to try light ice cream but If Im going to eat it ow, I want the real stuff

pkarim

bread, pasta, fried rice, potatoes...basically all carbs!!!. I try to get most of my carbs from fruits vegetables and dairy and iI dropped weight very quickly once I did that

ESVABelle

Chipotle, cheese and peanut butter.

...and loaded bacon cheese fries with ranch.

Desilu13

I love Thai ice tea!!!!!!!!:)....Yup you are right Thai ice tea has a lot of sugar:(

nikola24

CHOCOLATE!!!!!

I would eat it all day until there was none left in my house, then id vow never to eat it ever again!!! very nasty cycle! I think it was more of an addiction but i need to stay clear of that.....

gbmabley

Portion control was my #1, next i would have to say restaurant food, and finally my love for carbs.

crissi66

chinese food is my enemy!!!! and so is pasta. I avoid chinses food like the plague now and hardley ever eat pasta unless it is a special occasion. I have no concept of portion control when it comes to these two areas.. Not the best will power damn dim sum!!!!

sarahcowley1

crisps i used to eat bag after bag n carbs mounds of creamy mash !!!!!

What made me look at myself and make a change was that I ate very small breakfast or even skipped it, then at school I stuffed my mouth with Snickers, Twixes and Marses, leaving lunch untouched. At home I ate dinner which was the biggest meal during my day. After that I ate all sorts of chocolate stuff, candies and chips.

My metabolism is pretty fast on its own, but I didn't exercise (only at PE and that was with the minimum effort), so I was the best example of SkinnyFat.
Thank god I saw how much harm I did to my health and body.

Tarah40

Carbs and sugar!!! White toast with loads of butter, cakes, chocolate and jelly sweets.
My mouths watering just writing about them!!!!

Mommyof3texans

This thread is making me hungry! lol...Here's my list:

Jimmy Johns subs
Pizza
Bacon cheese fries
Chipotle
Mac n cheese

I'm sure I could go on and on here...but I used to eat these fairly often and started putting on the pounds quickly

KFC, McDonalds,Doner Kebabs, Chips,crisps,chocolate, need I go on?

I haven't had KFC or McD's for over 2 months now and I don't think I ever will again.

I moved to a place with no McDonalds so I didn't eat it for 6 months. Then when I was traveling to visit my parents, I got McDonalds and it made me sick. I used to eat it all the time. Now my stomach can't handle fast food! Which is probably a good thing.

CHOCOLATE!!!!!

chocolate my worse offender plus any sweets lol

lajuice24

My love of chips and sweets!! I have pretty much cut them from my diet. I have learned to have a small piece and just be done

elliecolorado

Carbs, carbs and more carbs! That and spending the majority of my adult life (since I moved out of my parents house) chronically under-eating and drinking tons of 'empty' calories (alcohol and multiple energy drinks a day).

shrinking_violet

Without a doubt, fast food and eating out. One meal at a restaurant or drive-thru would equal 1200+ calories most of the time (1200 is supposed to be my daily caloric intake). So, it's no wonder that I gained so much weight. It is a bit shocking how many years I went eating almost 3,000 calories a day and not even knowing it.

simplysarahd

Cookies....well, any dessert really. My husband manages a big bakery and he loves to bring home treats. I have lots of trouble saying "No!".

sweet_lotus

For me it was greasy fast food and desserts.

But honestly, I can't blame the food. I was the one who put the fork in my own mouth. The food didn't jump in there!

rockachick1982

Mine is very sugary sweet foods like cake and candy
And way too much pizza and fast food when the hubby and I wouldn't bring anything for lunch (which was more often than not).

I blame myself more than the food, but now it's all good and I am definitely more conscious of what I eat.

kentlass

i was never an 'over eater' i'd walk at least 4miles a day...but when pg and then after having the kids i was always eating super buttery toast...i'd eat about 6slices a day just coated in butter...and snacky little cakes that i didn't think were more than 100odd cals....i haven't touched buttery toast in SO long!

dad106

What made me fat was drinking, eating a whole pizza by myself in 2 sittings, mac n cheese, burgers, cheese stuffed hot dogs, cookies, ice cream.. . oh the list could go on and on. College kids have awful diets.. let me tell you!

Now that I'm home, I've cut all that out except for maybe once or twice a week.. still gotta my "junk" sometimes!

jmschweer

Anything sweet! This little debbie snacks are the devil in a wrapper. That and fast food, Taco Bell in particular.
