    My life revolves around the advent of my next Half Pounder with cheese.

    out of curiosity, was it a cheeseburger you made yourself or a crappy fast food burger?

    Makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE, imo. Fast food burgers are disgusto

    Agreed! I eat cheeseburgers pretty much every week but I make it myself, I weigh out 4oz of lean ground beef, use my own cheese, and a whole wheat or potato bun, and the calories are controlled, and it tastes so delicious!! It isn't a "cheat" if I make it at home.

    I ordered some bison burgers from my food coop, cooked them up on my indoor grill, slapped them on some sandwich thins with lettuce, cheese and lots of pickles. Yummy! I had no ill effects. I am a recovering fast food cheeseburger addict and this was a good alternative.

    It's sort of like taking a break from the gym and after that first day back, you're sore for days and days.
    Just got to keep at it, and don't go so long between cheeseburgers. :wink:

    I ate great all week and decided on some pizza this weekend...it was the little rectangle ones like from when you were in school...the Tony's brand with the little cubed pepperoni....it tasted really good, and then about 45 minutes later my stomach was killing me...I asked Hubby if he thought I had to count those calories since they went right on through! :/

    I typically feel orgasmic after a Chili's Big Mouth Burger. :smokin:

    But I wouldn't call it a good dining experience if I didn't stagger out to the car in a food-coma and have to unbutton my pants for the ride home. I don't (typically) eat like that at home... that's what makes going out a special treat.

    It was a crappy burger from Chili's. I haven't eaten there for years and decided to give it a shot... Now I can understand why it's been years.

    Ugh I had a similar thing happen to me. I indulged in pasta with creamy sauce at my fave restaurant last night and apparently overdid it. Today I felt like I got hit by a truck!

    Yup! But with me it's from our local Humdinger. A double-meat, double-cheese. Heaven. I do it maybe once a month and enjoy every bite.

    Flexible dieters have greater long-term success with both losing and maintenance. Sounds good to me! Eat healthy 90% of the time and enjoy your splurges the other 10%.

    Yeah. I went to DQ drive thru after eating "healthy" for a few weeks and when I smelled the fries in the car, I almost felt like puking. I still ate it, and it didn't taste bad and I didn't feel to bad afterwards. Next time, I'm just going to try chocolate or cheesecake because you can never go wrong with the two.

    definitely! Fast food is terrible when you never eat it, and a candy bar is overly sweet to the point of being sickly sweet when you never eat it.

    im finding myself enjoying the sweetness of fruit more these days. Its tastes incredible now that im picking better foods as a whole.

    We eat out once a week - which usually means a burger and fries. That didn't change when I started counting my calories and watching my diet because I am worried about depriving myself of the things I have enjoyed and rebelling. So the problem for me today was that I had Mcdonalds for dinner but had to go out again after dinner and decided to surprise my family with dairy queen ice cream - haven't had that in over 2 months. Well add that to my stomach about an hour after eating supper and bam! My stomach hurt and I felt crappy for a couple of hours after. I don't know how I did it before. My calories today were approx. 2500 and have been more like 1500 the last 2 months (since I started MFP). I too have learned not to over indulge. We live and we learn.
