Foods you ate, then realized they weren't worth it!

Cadbury Mini Eggs around Easter. My Mom and I are usually hooked on them all Easter. This year I just look the other way when going through the grocery store! So not worth the calories!

Almost........I just started, so I haven't had that much temptation to worry about, but I almost.....Like just now..... ate a honey bun. I looked it up on here before i ate it and saw that it had 470 calories, so I looked at the honey bun again and noticed it's gooey icing and sudenly got disgusted......went for a fruit cup instead, YAY!

I agree!! Looking at calories and sugar content (sometimes sodium content) in a meal can suddenly make me find it absolutely disgusting.

My not worth it food is KFC popcorn chicken :sick: . I stopped eating KFC years ago as there wasn't one near us, previously I'd loved popcorn chicken, but I went there about a year ago and it was GROSS! Pure salt, totally not enjoyable at all. I'd spent years missing it and thinking 'mmmm I'd love some' then when I did get it, it didn't live up to my memories at all. Yuck!

I gave up fizzy drinks and caffeine quite some time ago and as much as I enjoy the odd cup of tea if I'm FREEZING during the winter I can't like any fizzy drinks anymore. They all make me feel horrible.


(I'm so glad I live nowhere near Hersheys and Reeses are hard to find here. I couldn't say no to them.)

I used to drink at least 32 oz of fountain mountain dew every day. Once I started counting calories, I cut out soda completely (why drink your calories?). I had a fountain mountain dew at my god-daughter's 5th birthday party on Saturday and it was awful! I see this as a bonus because if it tastes bad, I am not tempted to drink it :happy:

I love cheese cake. I cant keep it in the house because I will eat it all. IT is the same with toast. I have no clue how many calories are in the cheese cake but I know it is a lot.

I eat Eli Cheesecake is about 230 (one serving, 1/12). I have good self control and sometimes I don't even eat the entire serving. I cut them small pieces when I just bought it, and put them back in the freezer. When I have the calories to spare and want to have a taste, I'll take out a small piece (or even cut portion of it), and enjoy it.

I do avoid cheesecake from restaurant thought (if I could), they tend to be harder to know how much calories and usually it's a lot. Like Cheesecake factory's are range from 507 - over 1000 calories.

It happened to me on Tuesday. I was doing great all day. Dinner came around and I ate a big salad. My son asked me to make him some Kraft Mac n' Cheese because he hadn't had it in a long time. I make him the mac n' cheese...he eats a bowl and goes upstairs. I'm about to wash out the pot and dump the rest down the drain...and I take a bite. It's so mysteriously cheesy and kinda good...next thing I know about 1 1/2 cups later and 400+ calories over my limit for the day I have eaten most of the mac n' cheese. For the rest of the evening I'm cursing myself for eating that fake cheesy crap and it wasn't even worth it.

There are so many things I used to eat that I now eat and they just don't taste as great, or don't taste fgood enough to match the calorie count.

Mcdonalds fries, crisps (chips) and a lot of chocolates. I'd rather eat fruit.

Those high fiber bars! You know, the ones with about 9g. I can't handle that much soluable fiber and I feel like I"m going to die until they pass through!

Lol, I feel like I'm going to die WHILE they're passing through. Those things are insane.-- They should come with warning labels.
