Sort of related, my brain has a total disconnect about ice cream. When I'm eating pizza or chips or things like that I *know* that I am racking up the calories. When I eat ice cream, my mind just doesn't connect it to also having lots of calories. It feels free. And this is why I do not buy it haha.

I haven't bought bacon in years because the folks in my household (including me!) couldn't control themselves back in the day. We used to fight over it! I'm a little scared to know how it'll go if I tried bringing some home again.

I have never even heard of ketchup chips until today.
The fact that Canada actually has products other countries don't blows my mind.
The only one I'm aware of is Dyna Whey protein, lol. (Which is really too bad as it's totally awesome protein IMO)
And I'm certainly not going to revoke your Canadian card over peameal bacon, especially considering I don't eat pig.
Oh sure, mock me with the protein I have to try smuggling over the border again. Though, actually, I have a Quest sample here I'm getting up the nerve to try, eventually.
Every time I have the stuff I think of you, believe it or not! I keep sniffing it to see if there is any detectable protein odour (and there has never been any).0 -

My recovery snack after my big workout this morning was a serving of gelato. It actually kept me full for 2 hours too...
Dark chocolate gelato was my recovery snack after a large meal the other night. I totally get it.0 -

Neither have I.
Ketchup flavored potato chips are extremely popular in Oman (my birth country, most people don't even know where the thing is... Over here, next to Saudi Arabia! *waves frantically*). I hate them with a passion! So sweet and just... No.
You've mentioned that you were from Oman before, so I had to Google it. Is it as beautiful as the pictures? Is it a dangerous place or is it safe?
Super, extremely safe.
We're completely neutral, so nobody in any country hates us, and crime is so low that half the country doesn't bother to lock their doors at night. 
It's definitely beautiful, but I'm not sure which part of Oman you're referring to. Our Dhofar region is mountainous and GREEN. Greenery upon greenery--tropical climate, looks like Malaysia. Then you have the mountain desert regions and the sandy desert regions. They're all really beautiful in their own ways.
The weather is super hot though. 45+ Celcius (Around 115 F) in summer, and winters are really mild at around 15-18 C (60-65 F). 0 -

It gets hot and humid here in the summer (Nashville). It seems like the further south you go, the colder they run the AC inside businesses, though. I can not go to a restaurant in the summertime without a heavy jacket. It's almost 90 degrees outside today, and I'm wearing a jacket in the office. Why must they keep it SO COLD?0

Oh gosh yes!!! We went to Tennessee last July and I ended up having to buy a sweater because I was FREEZING in the restaurants. So ridiculous.0 -

They are SO good! Doritos ketchup is the best!
Doritos Ketchup?? I've never seen that in stores before! The only ketchup chips I've ever heard of were Pik-Nik ketchup flavored chips/crisps. I used to eat them as a kid. Now THOSE were BOMB!!!

I really am annoyed with someone on MFP right now tried to help her and she is like what I don't think that is right. I know what I am talking about cos I was in her shoes but to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about, how ungrateful! Now I'm starting to regret helping her in the first place cos I really want to pig out now. God, why did I open my big mouth in the first place. Sorry about the rant but I really had to get it off my chest so I don't go pig out on too much food and drink the bottle of wine in the fridge.0

If you notice it one day after not for so long, I suggest getting a refund 0 -

I had a work thing that forced me to spend 3 weeks in Memphis one August (stayed at the Peabody, which was fun), and that's what I couldn't stand. I'd put on one of my lightest summer suits and make the trek from the hotel to where I spent the day and would be drenched with sweat and then shiver the whole rest of the day. Horrible.
Even here (Chicago) I tend to have a sweater available for inside in the summer (I'm one of those people who is always cold and was even when I was at my fattest), but it's far less extreme. In Memphis I practically expected a rainstorm when I'd open a door from the hot and cold fronts meeting.0 -

So, worst fears realized, I woke up this morning with a sore throat & headache. Started coughing.
P*ssed, I walk into work...and WHAT DO YOU KNOW, she called in sick today...on a Friday.
Guess who is her back up?
So now I'm sick on a Friday, getting an average of 5 emails a minute between both of our emails.

Can you crumble munster cheese into her keyboard without being seen? Hypothetically, or course.
Better.
I've already set aside a couple of potential ticking time bombs that I'm "not able to get to today"...and then I'm calling in sick on Monday.

Angry at myself today. Was so hungry all day yesterday which doesn't happen as nearly as often as it used to. I knew that supper was going to be delicious as I had put a rib roast in the slow cooker before I went to work. Got home whipped up some potato's made some gravy and voila supper at last. I then proceeded to spend the whole time I was eating on my MFP calculating calories that I forgot to enjoy the meal!0

I was more concerned that I would have potentially misled you!
Seriously, the Iced Cappuccino is soooo freakin' good and although it supposedly contains caffeine equivalent to one cup of coffee, I'm sensitive to caffeine and it doesn't bother me.
I also picked up the Chocolate Banana variety to double-check it. (Okay, my protein intake was so dismal I was needing an extra boost in the evening, so I wanted a different flavour)

I confess, I was so far out of line in what I ate on Cinco de Mayo that I didn't feel well enough to even mitigate the damage by working out... and I still feel guilty about it!
(Also it seems like my body has gotten used to less and less-rich foods, because before I would have eaten more than I did and thought nothing of it!)0 -

One of my good friends in high school was Canadian and he introduced me to salt and vinegar potato chips. Mistake. Love those things!
And the best are
Yes, yes they are
That made my mouth water.0 -

I've never been in Canada (I live near Chicago)... We were supposed to go to Niagara Falls this month, but canceled it due to family issues. I was mostly excited because I've interacted with so many Canadians on this thread!
That's part of the reason I'm excited for my trip to Arizona in a few weeks. (Okay, mostly it's the food I'm excited about lol).
Speaking of, as I have never been to Arizona, is there anyone here that can recommend things to do/see? I am going to be in Maricopa, so anything that's within a few hours drive would be great.
I lived in Tucson for 3 years as a kid. The Desert Museum is pretty cool. You should also go to Eegees and don't eat the food, but get one of their frozen fruit drinks. The best part of Arizona in my opinion is that they don't have many tall buildings (or trees) so their light pollution is nil. You can see the stars so much better down there. Def do that. Also, prepare to feel like you are going to die from the heat. It hits you like a wall.
I am worried about this, as I don't handle heat very well. Hmm, I guess I'd better go shopping since I think I only own one pair of shorts... maybe two.
And don't let anyone fool you by this "It's just dry heat" BS. Sure, there is no sweaty humid feeling, but when it's 115 degrees outside you FEEL 115 degrees. But, enjoy your trip!0 -

This used to be me! I now calculate my meals (whenever possible) BEFORE I eat it so that I can sit down and enjoy my meals worry-free. I try to plan ahead of time and log my meals before meal time even hits. I usually log my snacks ahead of time too. You can always adjust it later if you need to, but it helps me to get the portions right. If eating out, I log before I order my food.0 -

115 degrees?!?! Holy hell, it's in the 80s here in SC and I'm already struggling!! *Makes mental note to avoid Southwestern US in summer time*

They do this to us too! I seriously can't handle going outside in that heat but then in our office I have on a sweater and my heater
so cold! (And I'm in Columbus, OH they do that too with all restaurants and the movie theaters, I freeze my toosh off!) 0 -
I'm saying "f it" to exercise today. My TOM came two days early and I feel like crap, got some bad news, and it's hot and I don't feel like getting sweaty. Since I had to work out indoors all winter, if I want to exercise, I prefer to do it outside at this point. Maybe I'll go ride my bike later when it cools down. I wanna eat like crap, but I probably won't let that happen.0

Sometimes public places do set their A/C too low, but then when you leave and go outside it's like walking into an oven. Ugh!0

I greatly prefer being too cold than being too hot.
I just dread summer man.0 -
I always prefer being a bit colder than too hot also.0

Drinking on an empty stomach is fun too
The after-affects aren't much fun, though!
Oh, fair point. But when the alternative is drinking 5+ drinks to keep pace with others, both mornings after tend to suck.0 -

Ugh! I log in advance so I just have to adjust the quantities, which takes 30 seconds... and always before I actually eat.0 -

At least if you're cold you can add more layers. When it's hot there's only so much you can take off!0 -

Ugg is right lol. Usually I do put everything in prior to eating but you have ever have on of those days. That was yesterday! 0
