I'm just curious if, like me, anyone else here knows that they need to lose weight, but still watches shows like Man vs Food. I know it's all food that I shouldn't want to eat, but some reason I can't stop watching the shows. For example right now he's eating some HUGE dishes of Italian food!

    Yes, but I don't crave it like I use to. It's more like I can't believe someone would do that. Just because I like to watch *kitten* doesn't mean I want to do it.

    Thanks for the *kitten* comparison I didn't even think about it that way! lol

    I'm just gonna pretend that after every bite he takes that he papercuts himself while rolling down a hill in a shopping cart. It will make me feel better.

    haha I always watch food shows....food network is one of my most favorite channels! Man Vs Food is fun to watch too...but in the way of OMG how can they eat that! In the back of my mind I'm thinking of how many 1000s of calories must be in some of those dishes.

    Absolutely can't do it - can't watch any of those shows - makes me want to eat. And if I'm struggling on a given day, can't watch food commercials either. Its strange how will power fluctuates. Somedays I have no problems staying on track even when I'm baking cookies for the kids & hubby. Other days just the thought of a sugar cookie drives me crazy. And I've been doing this for 3 years, you think it would go away but no, always a struggle and I suspect it will always be after all I had 44 years of bad habits and 3 years years of good.

    I do that all the time! My tv is almost constantly on the Food Network since I started dieting. I don't know what it is. Maybe its like a therapy, you can see the food, but you cannot have it. I'm glad someone else out there does that, because my mom thinks I'm nuts :laugh:

    UGH I feel like that with that guy on that diners show who travels the country on the Food network. I believe his name is Guy. He will eat like a 2 lbs cheeseburger covered in honey mustard, ranch and cheese....and I'm just OMG....your poor body! He has gained weight since the beginning of the show. I guess if you are only eating like that once a week for work it isn't that bad, but I'm sure he eats a plethora of food otherwise. It kind of grosses me out.
