    I love their Chargrilled Chicken Garden Salad with red. fat berry balsamic dressing! my fav ♥
    all food is good food! but ice cream and pizza top the list

    Second^^ Third^^ All in favor say IIIIIIIII!


    IIIIIIIII agree. As soon as I got this part into my *thick* skull, the quicker I broke free from the emotional hold
    food has on me.....

    it's ALL food. Some has a LOT of nutrition, some has less, and some have empty calories.
    But it's just food. just food.

    and it was my goal to be able to have a lifestyle that included being able to eat out in moderation.

    SUSHI!!!!!! OMG! it's my ultimate WEAKNESS!!!

    I'm the same way. I have my own sushi making kit so I don't have to go out to get it, and I feel like I work for it a bit at least ;)

    Not really...I don't crave fast food like I once did....then again, we don't have Chik-fil-A here in Michigan, so maybe that's just too good to give up...:ohwell:
    lucky you! lol.. i never have cheat days, ever, and the ONE day i felt like eating chick fil a i drove all the way there and it was a sunday.

    There's a Chick-fil-A less than a block from my office & i eat there at least once a week :-) i LOVE the chicken nuggets - grilled or fried & the grilled chicken sandwich is good also. Oftentimes i will get fruit instead of fries, but i do like to enjoy the fries occasionally so i make sure that i work it into my calorie count for that day.

    i appreciate that it's an atmosphere where at least most people who work there seem like they want you to come buy food from their restaurant - in other fast food places, i've frequently had workers act like it was a bother to take my order.

    I dub it "The Cows' Law - Your CFA craving will hit hardest on Sunday."

    A KFC 8 peice bucket is exactly my macro goals for me to get right under 10% bodyfat...(around 1800 calories total). so I ate that 5 days out of the week, and my cheat days were actually "cleaner"...back in 2010.

    my current obsession is skinny cow ice cream sandwiches...

    I thought Chick-Fil-A was everywhere?????? It is here!! I love love love fast food!!! The faster and crappier, the better! But, after realizing it doesn't love me so much, I have decided to get out of this one-sided relationship with the drive-thru.

    I love to eat candy. Occassionally, I will have a few Hershey Milk Chocolate Kisses! Occassionally, like just now. 4 is a good number for me! 4 silver wrapped little towers of goodness!!

    They are building a Chick-Fil-A right by my work, so that will be a upcoming challenge to pass by it almost everyday (M-F)...lol I also miss me some Starbucks, trying not to go there for awhile....it's a addiction that I will keep wanting to go back to.

    I love the Charred Grilled Chicken sandwich from Chic-Fil-A.

    My number 1 go-to is a Chicken Chipolte Burrito with the works. Extra extra extra extra hot sauce

    Sushi (the unhealthy kinds with all the sauces and fried stuff) and Chick-fil-A are my weaknesses... I avoid them... :(

    Not in Michigan. There's ONE in the whole state, and its on a college campus that is actually quite close to my office, BUT, I think you have to be a student to go into the part of campus where its located.

    After reading this, I might have to send the interns over on a food run though, since they're students over there....

    I've never had either.

    I love Subway's spicy italian sub, melted with pepperjack cheese and loaded withh jalapeno peppers and a little mayo. It's NOT good for me and full of sodium. But sometimes, I can't shake the craving.

    A place called Cook-Out. They have awesome milkshakes and I love their fries, too! And f course, Chick Fil A!

    I'm a little confused. Sushi is fish, and fish is supposed to be good for you. So why are people listing it as a "bad food"?

    If I could (can't handle the guilt afterwards) it would be a Whopper from Burger King. Oh my. I can almost smell it just typing that. lol

    I love the grilled one, with a side of fruit and ate two waffle fries from my daughters plate and feel satisfied. :-D

    Sushi is not fish...it is rice and seaweed with some kind of filling....

    now Sashimi is fish, usually served on a bed of rice...

    White rice, high in calories, some of it's fried, some of it is slathered in delicious sauces. I don't consider any food bad but sushi is a splurge food for me too.

    I never gave up Chik Fil A during my weight loss. My favorite is the chicken biscuit breakfast sandwich. Oh man my tummy is growling just thinking about it.

    Deep dish pizza, Willy's burritos, and Zaxby's are my big weak points.

    Today I had a grill chicken sandwich homemade and I bought some sweet potatoe fries. Only drink water or crystal light now. I could not resist those sweet potatoe fries. Going to zumba for a hour so I don't feel guilty at all. The fries was totally worth it.
