I'm addicted to Kraft Mac and Cheese

in Introduce Yourself
I think this substance should be banned by the federal government. I was raised on it and I occaisionally get the urge to eat too much of it. Funny, if I have a little bit of it it makes me have an insane craving for more of it. But if I have none of it, I may have the urge but I don't have the insane craving... but still it calls my name when I'm not looking (kidding).

    Yes!!!! :happy: I absolutely adore the stuff!! (LOVE really) I completely understand. Could eat tons of it... but, I'm not going to!!!! I'm focusing on my plan!! THAT makes me feel good too!!! (and no calories for that!) Yahoo!

    Anyway, I have found that if I'm able to get through the toughest parts of these cravings, then, it starts to get easier, and easier. The tough parts come again, but, knowing that it will get easier is so helpful in getting me through that! I hope it would be for you as well!!

    I grew up on Mom's and Grama's amazing from-scratch mac n cheese.... It wasn't until I was in my 30's and had a step-daughter that I was introduced to Kraft Mac n Cheese... and darned if I don't love it too LOL!!! I do make it for my 5 yo daughter and have a little bowl of it myself now and then, but fortunately my commitment to trying to eat as non-processed as possible has somewhat cured my tastebuds of liking that fake orangey goodness LOL!!!

    I've never had it, and never will. It just looks disgusting.

    the indicated serving size is enough to scare me to not eat it. Not worth it in the long run to me :indifferent:

    When I make it for my daughter, I have to check that it's "not too hot" way more than really necessary...she doesn't know that though. LOL

    I actually had some today. I love it with ketchup and parmesan - it "fancies" it up! :smile: My child self would be horrified by this combination, I should add.

    I usually limit it to once in a blue moon though...

    i used to love it, but then they changed the recipe i think about 10 years ago, and i went right off it. still love the deluxe version (which is basically pasta and a can of cheese spread.. yuuuummm!!) and i've found that easy mac tastes like the old macaroni cheese.

    but, it's terrible for me and i try my best to avoid it. like you, once i have a little bit i am powerless to resist eating more and more!

    I have to make it for my girls, when I do and just have to have some....I cook a small amount of whole wheat noodles and add a little of the cheese in mine. Myself, I feel better knowing I can have what I want and choose a healthier way of eating it. :smile:

    I miss that stuff so much! One of the benefits of living "overseas" is that I no longer have easy access to it.. although if I'm willing to pay $5-10 a box.. I can get my hands on some.. And some days.. I'm willing to pay that much!

    It was the first thing I learned to make by myself as a kid. Definitely comfort food for me. I buy it and make it as a side dish for dinner about once a month. My family wishes I'd make it more but no. :laugh:

    Ironically I don't like the Kraft Mac and Cheese. I find the generic store brand to taste better.

    I know what you mean I made a box this week and called it 2 servings. I like to lie to myself some times.

    I can't lie, there are some store brands of it that I like better. But I will eat Kraft too. Just not the crap with the liquid cheese. Has to be the powdered kind.

    LMBO! LOVE it!

    I am a huge fan on it too. Has to be Kraft. Has to be the powdered cheese. I only allow myself to have it in times of extreme desperation haha.

    I used to LOVE it before I went GF. My dad and I used to sit and watch MASH or hockey and eat it. I would eat half a box without even realizing! Now I love Annies GF mac and cheese, still horrible for you so I only have it once in a while when I'm really craving it!

    really? at your age (over 10)?

    you know what is LOTS more delicious? If you don't have time or desire to make the good old-fashioned grandma kind, cook your own mac, add shredded SHARP cheddar cheese and some tinned or fresh diced tomatoes . . . . just melt in the same pot on the stovetop. Salt, pepper . . . ummmmmm
