My Food Sin

Don't judge me! LOL

I have refrained from fried foods, overindulging in sweets, and completely ousted soda, but I cannot, shall not, just plain ol WON'T give up the Snyder's Buffalo Hot Wing Pretzels. I have love for the Greek Yogurt, Luna Bars, Laughing Cow Cream Cheese, and even Oatmeal, but none can replace my BHW Pretzels.

I do not eat them ALL the time, but every now & then. I use to eat the entire bag in one sitting, but since I began MFP, I have learned to portion. I will only eat one serving on the days I choose to eat them.

They have even made a .99 cents bag (2 servings) which I claim was just for me. I workout 2-3 times a day, 6 days a week. I am BEYOND deserving of them. That's my sin during my weightloss journey. I never claimed to be perfect ;0)

What is the ONE food item that you have found you ABSOLUTELY cannot live without during your journey to a better you?

    LOL!!! Yes. You can ask my MFP Friends. I make it rain sweat. I am addicted to Spin. I began strength training about 4 weeks ago and do that 3-4 times a week. Once in awhile I will dabble in Zumba. I also participate in many walks with friends from work. Just started working with a personal trainer to help me lose the last 25 lbs. She has me run/walking 3.4 miles each time we are together. (3 times a week).

    Sweets. I have a horrible monster of a sweet tooth. Thank God for the 90 calorie Fiber One brownies. They are my saving grace!

    I have a love for pizza, so I dabbled in the pizza aisle for ideas on how to make a 'healthier' pizza. now I use fresh herbs with a small amount of marinara sauce and lowfat cheese on a 100% whole wheat thin crust. its delicious, i added it up and counted the whole pizza as 8servings, with each serving being around 150calories.

    Its delicious, keeps me on track when I have a 'naughty food' urge, and keeps me feeling good =)

    I haven't given up anything. And I believe it's very unhealthy to consider any kind of food a "sin".

    I don't go without anything that I enjoy. I just budget into my calories or have it on my cheat/rest day. That's what makes this lifestyle change really sustainable for me.

    Chips. I could easily eat an entire bag of Cheddar and Sour Cream Ruffles and chase it with a can of Pizzalicious Pringles in one sitting.

    Now I try to go with slightly lower calorie options like Pop Chips, and I never buy the big bags anymore so I can't have more than 1-2 servings.

    Every now and then (especially now in the Summer) I get a chocolate milkshake. Nothing fancy, no whipped cream and junk on top. Just the shake. I deserve it, and I refuse to give it up! All in moderation!

    No Sin as I see it. I eat what I like, just plan for it (easy to do since I'm eating OVER 2000 cals a day).
    Diet just means the food you consume, so don't let others tell you what to eat if you enjoy it.
    The only way we can loose weight for the long term is to incorporate the foods we love and enjoy!

    Good luck with your endeavors!

    My food sin is a drink in which I can not seem to resist which is the Starbucks Frappuccino. Every time I go to Walmart I have to get me a 4 pack and I like to drink them when they are ice cold.

    Barbeque... I've been an amateur smoker for years. I've mostly given up Ribs and the fattier cuts. I trim my briskets of most of the fats.. and I aim for the leaner pork, chicken, and turkey cuts for the most part...

    ..but there's just something I love about that smoky flavor. And, since I make it, it's not completely loaded with all the salt, nitrates and nitrites like a lot of the consumer and restaurant grade stuff.

    All things in moderation..

    I love ice cream and I refuse to give it up!!! We are only human and can not be so hard on ourselves. Eat a little and don't feel guilty but enjoy the flavor of the food sin and then move on to tomorrow. One day at a time

    Soup noodles? Do you mean the ramen packages?

    One of the best things ever made!
  • My sin/craving is sweets ... even just a "little" nibble will do ... one or two squares from a Caramilk bar, a cookie, or a couple spoonfuls of ice cream ... just enough to get the sweet taste to linger for a bit. Mmmmm!
