What is your Food..for lack of a better word "Heroin"?

French fries when they're freshly made from fresh oil. MMMMMMMMMMMmmmm sooooo good.

Fortunately, good fries are relatively hard to come by, so I can't sabotage myself by having them too often! I don't fry stuff at home, and restaurants are rather inconsistent when it comes to fries.

Spinach&Cheese Ravioli. Pasta. Crusty breads. Pretzels. Ice cream. Fruity/chewy/gummy candy.

I lucked out, I am now gluten and lactose intolerant so whenever I start to think about caving I think about risking intestinal cancer down the road and the week of a wrecked body immediately following. Not even kidding, I've been sent home from work (at an office) because accidental glutenings have left me so clumsy and 'brain fogged' I've actually walked into desks and doors and walls...the cravings have pretty much passed, although a few weeks ago I had to bolt from the grocery store while in the bakery aisle because I started to tear up about the foods I'll never be able to try/eat again.

I just went to a sad place. ANYWAY! Now I crave things like mango, pineapples, and Chipotle burrito bowls....NOM.

I suppose that my food 'heroin' is Eccles Cakes. If you don't know what they are your missing out. :bigsmile: It's not often that i get them because frankly thier bad for you and hardly anywhere sells them. But if i'm walking past a Mary Lambert's bakery i have to go in and buy them. It's impossible to resist the calling of the eccles cake.

Mcdonalds 2 cheese burger meal

Yeasty breads and chips and salsa. I know the salsa isn't too bad, but the tortilla chips are killer calorie wise. I'm always looking for a good substitute, but can't find anything that I can eat in the quantity I desire.

SWEETS...chocolate, cookies, cake, brownies, ice cream, muffins... Chips can sit, untouched by me forever, but there's a box of Little Debbie's Donut Sticks in my cabinet calling to me right now!!!

lindak71

Oh, but I didn't quit it, I just don't eat it all every single day. I had to learn to live with it.

My name is Diane and I am addicted to Chocolate!

I could literally eat it all day every day.. and when I don't have it for a while I am super crabby... awful isn't it?

Hi my name is Rich Tea and I am so glad to be hear amongst friends.

I am in denial, have no addiction to any type of food including rich teas ;-)

Trying to substitute with oat cakes or anything... just not the same!

I'm Helen and I'm addicted to cheese,
even so far as cheesecake. I love the stuff, can't get enough of it. Before my lifestyle change my boyfriend said if I just cut out cheesecake I would lose a few pounds! I've not had a piece of cheesecake for three months. It was hard at first but I'm getting there. I can look at one now and not cry for my lost love.
I love it, and I mean really love it. I love cheese on anything especially a rib eye steak medium rare with maybe a few prawns and some bearnaise sauce....
oh God, this was a dangerous topic!

I'm a cheese and coffee addict! Can't live without them at all.

My name is Kayleigh and my food "heroin" is chocolate in any form.
Except white chocolate. You name it, I'll munch it.

Oh yeah, I hear you loud and clear...dark chocolate for me. I keep several blocks in the fridge. Some have been there for months. I just need to have it close to me in case of emergency. Sad, but true.

My name is Jacki and I wish it was just one food. I was reading everyone's posts and thinking, if it was one thing, that would be easy to avoid that one thing... but all of it calls to me! Depends on the day or where I happen to be at the time.
Bread with loads of fresh butter? YES! Fried ANYTHING... oh yeah, I'm there... Chocolate? Lindor Truffles, the entire bag... Ben and Jerry Ice Cream.. those pints are single serving containers, aren't they? Pastry, cakes and cookies... sure... have to have something sweet after you eat your meal...
The hardest part about becoming accountable for what I put into my mouth was coming to grips with all that I would have to give up. It was like saying good bye to all my friends at one time. I'm not sorry now, but it was rough at first going through withdrawal!

'Bad' carbs...........

White rice, pasta, gnocci, mashed potatoes, roast potatoes, pizza, bread (garlic bread......droooooool) and chips.

I've replaced the above with their wholemeal/wholewheat/lower cal counterparts, and made friends with quinoa & lentils but I still indulge once in a while.

My name is Teressa and I'm addicted to bread, potatoes and HOTWINGS!!!!!!!! I haven't given up the bread just changed to whole grains and wheat and only enough for sandwich per day. I've decreased my potato intake from 4-5 days a week (I'm a Southerner who enjoys her meat and taters) to maybe 2 times a week (if that) and use the little red potatoes instead of the yellow ones. and hotwings--omg love them! I have to "earn" the priviledge of eating hotwings and I limit the number of wings - just a few satifies my craving.

leonardk09

I second the Buffalo Wings. Mm.

Also, Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supremes.

MyouTakara

Third on the Buffalo wings. And of course I can get the original ones around here, so it's even harder!

Oh, one more. A cheeseburger garbage plate. Unless you're from Western New York, you probably have no idea what that is, and you really don't want to!
