    Deep fried calamari + parmesan fries with truffle oil + truffle aioli + nachos & cheese + strawberry milkshake...
    All for appetizer.

    What just happened?

    last weekend I ate the whole dish of Boston Pizzas Spinach & Artichoke dip with their pizza bread. Which equals to my daily calorie intake, darn. Anything loaded with cream cheese gets me every time! :/

    that sounds amazing! I would be right there with you!

    I started a 6 week exercise and diet program on last Monday. Last week was detox. Not as hard as I thought it would be with my horrible habits and sweet tooth. My birthday was this Monday. (i want to lose 30lbs by next year) I snuck a salted caramel chocolate cupcake during the day while I was out alone. It wasn't that good. Why did I eat that? I thought I deserved it. I did but I should I picked something else.

    Then I told myself I would be good for dinner. Had Salmon and asparagus. Angel food with strawberry and mango for dessert. Was good. Felt like I really did good. Till Tuesday morning; I wanted everything bad in the house. I ate a 100 cal dark chocolate bar. Then... Hello fun size milky-way and crunch bar I would never normally want. "Why did I eat that?" Then... Hello Garlic Na'an toasted with butter... so good. But I felt so guilty. So I ate some fruit; Kiwi and blueberries. Then for dinner we had Thai. Not healthy soup at Thai. I had some of the boyfriend's curry and rice because the salad was not enough even after chicken satay. And snuck some dry angel food cake in during the day. Which I did not count and was still over my calories.

    I am trying to be better today. But I just had lunch early. Left over salmon and broccoli. But I still want chocolate so bad. Anything sweet and carby. I can't focus on work I want sweets so much. I am having some serious cravings and trying not to have a why did I just eat that moment.

    I just ate two peanut butter cookies for no other reason than I had to put them out for a meeting. I could have just put the container down and walked out of the room, but no.

    They were good, but not 300 calories worth of good.

    And now if I can just learn how to spell...

    FRIGGIN POP TARTS! I was in a meeting all morning and I was starving. The snack bar only had pop tarts and candy bars. I figured pop tarts were the least evil thing... Wrong. 420 cals and 9000 g of sugar later... Oh well.

    I was running late to school yesterday and hadn't packed my lunch and knew I wouldn't have time to get some once I was on campus. My boyfriend stopped us at Wendy's and I smelled fries and instantly wanted them, so I got them too instead of my usual garden salad. AND I got a lemonade. *headdesk*

    On Wednesday of last week I ate a medium sausage and jalapeno pizza, an order of buffallo kickers, and an order of brownie bites from Domino's in one setting. I feel so fat typing this, but it's true.

    I've been dealing with some personal issues at home with my kids and I was feeling all sorry for myself with that and then having to work a 10 hour day at work. Well I had packed lunch and dinner however, I just needed to get out and get some air and so I found myself at Spot Coffee. I used to frequent this coffee shop once a week at least and would eat their yummy desserts, pastries, and indulge on a Cincoshake, it's better than a Starbuck's frapp!! OMG so here I am standing in line and ordering their spicy tuna wrap (so amazingly awesome!!), a smores bar (golden grahams with chocolate pieces and marshmallows like a krispy treat but BETTER!!), and I tried to order a large cinco but I ordered wrong and got a medium. OMG!! I ate half the wrap, held on to the smores treat and gave that to my son, took the other half of the wrap home to my daughter, and I showed that Cinco NO mercy!! Needless to say 2 days later and I'm still kicking myself but man was it heavenly at the time.:embarassed:

    My second Luna bar of the day. I used to eat multiple bars a day pretty often before I started making an effort to eat better; it's annoying to "relapse" in a bad habit when I thought I was over it. :grumble:

    ETA: I guess there are worse things, though, and I can still come in under my calorie limit!

    Wifey and I are the best and worst influences on each other...

    Wifey: (at 10:30 p.m. with some drinks in us) We should make cookies!

    Me: Sweetheart, we're trying to diet and that's not the best idea.

    Wifey: But... what if we die tomorrow?

    Me: GOOD POINT! I got all of the dry ingredients during the elipsis portion of your last comment.

    Wifey: I preheated the oven thirty minutes ago!


    Made a batch of cookies. Ate a batch of cookies.

    I was working in my local tea place late last night and the super-nice waiter offered me free chocolate chip cookie (heck he actually held the entire dish of cookies in front of me to grab as many as I want ) Sooo I had 2 large chocolate chip cookies after I already had consumed all my daily calories.

    most of the time it's peanut butter...with a spoon...right from the jar...
    I can easily eat a half cup of peanut butter without realizing it
    then I feel so gross and heavy afterwards sigh

    Who am I kidding? Food is my life. So there's this thing called ice cream, right? And the office has a tub of it in the freezer. I gorged myself on the chocolatey deliciousness. When I got home I felt super guilty, so I worked harder at the gym that evening.

    It's hard some days when you just CRAVE things that aren't the healthiest. I say, give in once in a while, but make sure you work hard to counteract it. But I'm no expert on anything lol.

    On Monday night, I dropped my BF off at the airport for a weeklong trip to Florida for work.
    On the way home, I immediately dropped by Del Taco and got $4 order of beef Macho Nachos- I was expecting something in par with the rinky-dink Nachos Bell Grande from Taco Bell. Good lord, this dish was HEAVY and HUGE. And despite being like four times bigger than I expected, I devoured them all. Hating myself before, during, and after consumption.

    Then I got a call that his flight was cancelled so I had to go get him, and immediately confessed my food transgressions.
    He left the next morning instead, and rather than eat the pain away, I slept and moped and watched Nashville for six hours.

    Horrible coping mechanisms, I got 'em.

    gaaah I feel ya. I do not do that often, thank goodness...but I know exactly what you mean. My mother-in-law had terminal cancer and all last year my husband was living there (an hour way) caring for his mom Monday-Thursday. When he left I would usually have some candy in the house or something else to splurge on - amazingly I did all right through the week but right when he left I felt that surge of stress cravings come on.

    I'm just glad we're aware of this and work to avoid it. But some situations...yup.

    Yesterday I had enough calories left over for 2 jalapeno poppers with no dip. Jalapeno poppers are my favorite food, ever since I was a little girl. I was watching Once Upon a Time on Netflix and fiance was nibbling on the box of poppers he made, and I ate 2 more than I should - so 4 total. :( 150 calories over. I should know better not to eat a trigger food.

    My coworker bought me some yummy keebler chocolate mint cookie mini things. I was being good and eating 1/day and then decided that I should just finish the pack so that they weren't impacting my sugar counts every day for the foreseeable future. That makes no sense.

    Exactly what I do. 'Oh i need to get rid of all these sweets that have culminated in my house as I'm on a diet. Throw them away? Don't be silly, I'll just eat them instead'

    ^^lol, I do this so often! buy something I know I have zero self-control over, binge on it then just convince myself that I better finish it so it's not there to tempt me :ohwell:

    I let my roommate talk me into getting KFC for dinner.... And then I ate my full half of the 10-piece meal, plus a slice and a half of the free cake that came with it. Not doing that again anytime soon.

    2 and a half slices of pepperoni and bell pepper pizza... would've been 3 if my sister hadn't stolen the last half eaten slice from my hand and run with it. Ugh, now I feel sick and I'm still under my calorie goal.
