Yesterday I went to BGR (The Burger Joint). I hadn't eaten any breakfast, other than coffee, because I had a dentist appointment in the morning. I went to BGR in the afternoon and took my burger and fries to go. I went home and after eating my burger I immediately regretted it. The calories were exorbitant: 576 for my burger and over 450 calories for the fries (not much fries). I went for a walk to help add more calories left for dinner (lentil soup and one boneless/skinless chicken drum).
The one thing that makes me "fall off the wagon" in regards to dieting is the fact that I end up eating foods that I regret immediately afterwards. So, instead of doing better, I would normally just give up. I try not to do this, but having no regrets means having to plan ahead.
What food(s) have you eaten that has caused you anxiety/regret after entering in the calories?

Ugh Mexican food. But, with that said, this is the 3rd time I've been using this site. Before I would stress about the food that went into my diary and more times than not I ended up not logging. This time though I have a different mindset (not really sure what changed, it just did) and now I log everything whether I go over or not. What makes me feel better is logging it all and knowing that I did it. I'm in this for life and there are going to be times when I overindulge or just flat out don't care (happened last night although it wasn't too terrible). I don't stress about it. I log it and start new the next day.
Just remember one meal isn't going to ruin your progress unless you make it a habit.0 -
That one thing I had that time that gave me food poisoning. Ugh, I regret eating that.0

milk chocolate.
every time I eat it I hate myself- it's disgusting.
I shouldn't waste the calories- I'd rather eat dark chocolate or ice cream.
Italian food- I am always feeling like meh after I eat it. I'm not sick- but I just feel very disappointed with it when I eat it- I'm still hungry and just never satisfied.0 -

I still remember this even though it was last summer...but a plate of shrimp tacos from Chili's. I make similar spicy shrimp tacos at home for around 500-600 calories for the entire huge meal, and it wouldn't even be that high if I kept it to one flour tortilla instead of 2-3. So I ordered that and ate just one of the 3 tortillas...still like 940 calories I think...something crazy like that, and it wasn't even as good as my homemade tacos.
Also a slice of frozen Dutch apple pie my mom served at dinner one time - 400 calories or so, and it was not even that good! I could have had so many yummier things...ice cream, macarons, even a maple bar from the donut shop. WHY did I eat that!? I'll tell you why, because I assumed it was around like 275-300 calories and wanted to be nice. I learned my lesson there.0 -
Haha this, usually.
I only regret eating things that didn't taste good. Like if I got all excited about eating a piece of cake, and it was dry or otherwise awful, and eat it anyway to be polite. I'd regret that.0 -

UGH that is seriously the worst!! Happened to me before at a wedding. They had cupcakes and they looked huge and ridiculously delicious, but turned out being dry and lacking on frosting I spent a large portion of my night at the bar sulking and contemplating the "what if's" after that.0 -
Everything sweet for the last week. I'm so happy! I don't know if it's the intermittent fasting or trying to get all my vitamins and minerals every day or some combination of both, but I hope it lasts. In fact, I hope I get to the point where I can't even look at sweets without wanting to barf. I'm stubborn, though. I bought some more junk last night. Ate it. Didn't like it. Ate it this morning. Didn't like it. I think I'm finally starting to realize something is changing, though. Not wasting anymore money. If it isn't even going to taste good, why bother?0

Those shirataki noodles. It was like a big plate of worms. :sick:0

Just the other night ....... fried chicken and waffles (with hot sauce AND maple syrup)
So good, but so bad :laugh:0 -
typically things from resturants...very few resturants cook as good as I do...(I know I know no modesty here)
But really if I can make it better at home and order it in a resturant...and it's eh...I regret spending the money and the extra calories.0 -

O.M.G.
Just opening the bag killed me ..... hope to never be that desperately hungry :laugh:0 -

Hahaha! This is exactly what my sister said when I let her try some of mine. I think I'm one of the few people who really likes these. To the point where I got those big blocks of konnyaku to chop up into my salads.
Yea I'm weird.

What food(s) have you eaten that has caused you anxiety/regret after entering in the calories?
I'm choosy about my fast food/takeout, ect., and I usually don't regret anything I eat because I (99% of the time) know the calorie count of what I'm eating. The only time in recent memory that I can recall eating something and being bummed about it later was this Chinese food that I got from a place that everyone in my family raved about. I could taste the ketchup in the sweet & sour sauce, blech!
I really can't remember the last time I had caloric sticker shock.0 -
Brussels sprouts. "roast them with olive oil and garlic" they said. "They're delicious" they said. "They don't taste anything like the brussels sprouts your grandma made you eat as a kid" they said.
LIES. HORRIBLE LIES! They taste just like they look - little green buttholes.0 -
Kale....
I can stomach almost anything and actually like most things...but that's some ****ing regret right there...0 -

Irrelevant. The title of the thread is "food you ate". Kale is not food. It is a garnish.0 -
