What "junk" food or fast food is worth the calories to you? For me, its a Starbucks Sausage Breakfast Sandwich. I know I'm not a dog, so I shouldn't reward myself with food, bu I let myself go to Starbucks on payday friday and get one, and a skinny vanilla latte. Probably not the world wisest decision as uses up 40% of my daily calories. Whoops.

What food is worth it to you?

    Why is it always dogs? Dolphins are smart, and they'll do tricks for a nice yummy fish.

    My favorite fast food is Popeye's spicy chicken, with a side of red beans & rice. I've had it once in the past 6 weeks. I'm thinking it's about time for a return trip--and I won't feel guilty in the least. Sure, it's calorie-dense, but I can fit it in my day's goals. Food is not the enemy--you can fraternize with it all you like, as long as you know when it's time to leave.

    Anything I bake myself.... Sometimes I just get this big urge to bake and then I eat everything over the next several days/week.

    Right now I'm working on making a delicious almond-hazelnut-chocolate cake disappear. Only half a cake left.
    Unfourtunatly I'm the only one in the family who eats sugar and I don't really know all that many people nearby... So I can't really give any of it away...

    Also Big Macs, but I get full on a single Big Mac without fries or soda so that's not really guilty for me. A Swedish Big Mac is only 510 calories so if I'm good the rest of the day everything's fine.

    Chocolate- a good quality, dark chocolate. And a pint of Guinness, it's my "date night drink" :)

    Is it wrong that I don't feel guilty about anything I eat?

    Same here. If it fits into my daily plan, I don't feel guilty. Once I learned that lesson, it made it easier to stick to my weight lose plan (I try not to use the work Diet). :smile:

    Same here. If it fits into my daily plan, I don't feel guilty. Now that I learned that lesson, sticking to my daily plan is much easier. :smile:

    Volcano Hot Thai food. Spicy seafood Gumbo. Anything spicy gets my mouth watering.
    I'd remember going to Tabasco factory doing a tour in Louisiana. I was salivating so loud my wife was shh-shing me. Embarrassing...

    A few days ago I crammed two vanilla creme doughnuts into my face in under 3 minutes and washed them down with a large mocha coffee.

    ...I have to admit, I do have a bit of a soft spot for a skinny Chai latte from Gloria Jeans every now and then.
