I was surprised how many calories are in cornbread, even without butter it is crazy high in calories!

    There's another social networking site that I visit besides this and FB. A lady there said "has anyone tried the new California whopper?" I was like "Oh holy hell, are you crazy?.. I stay clear of fast food joints these days.." she then went on to say "well, everyone deserves a treat."

    I checked the calories on that monster and it's close to 900.. I just about died! LOL!! Just a treat my butt!

    tim hortons timbits... yes, i know they're mini donuts in a sense... but, still, 50-70 cals a pop.. and before i started this, it was nothing for me to get a 20 pack, and eat them throughout the day... that's 1000-1400 cals in one shot... not to mention everything else i'd eat in a day...

    Granola bars.

    I thought those things were supposed to be healthy!

    And yogurt to be honest.

    I dont like it enough to waste 100 calories on it...

    When I first started, it was Peanuts...I couldn't believe how many calories were in such a small serving, of course they aren't really bad calories but I was in shock lol. All nuts in general, actually.

    OMG the Raspberry and Almond bake... I've had a couple: The first time I eat it then looked it up on here and, well I was an unhappy bunny. The second time I saved up because damn, they are nice! No latte for me - americano and skimmed all the way now.
