Confessions

I got a free Donut at Dunkin Donuts as national donut day today, took a bite and searched it on myfitnesspal, I immediately closed the bag on it and crushed the bag so the donut would be unedible

    Why not give it to a coworker or family member? Or exercise a little more to work it into your calories?

    I do the same thing, @StefannyFlorez ! It's not worth it to me and I don't want to be tempted. I did the same thing when I was quitting smoking too.

    I only smoked one cigarette a day usually and only for about 9 months. Quitting was just a matter of throwing the cigarettes away and not buying them anymore.

    But thank you!

    @malibu927 I was thinking of giving it to my 6 year old since I was in my way to pick him up from school, But to give him 376 calories in 1 donut I might as well give him a 376 cal well balanced meal that included salmon, peas & cauliflower and quinoa. I counted it!!!

    I wish it was as easy for him, he smokes a pack per day ( I am not exaggerating). But he is getting there.

    I am very lucky to not be tempted by donuts, cookies, chips or things like that. I'm not really into sweets at all. But show me a juicy 16 oz steak and I might not say no. :)

    Nice one! That's also a good tactic to use when people try to force cookies, cakes etc on you at work and they won't take no for an answer. Just take it and put it down on your desk, and then when they're not looking... :smile:

    Or you could have given it to a starving homeless person... Or not gotten it at all.

    I took it with the intention of eating it, like I always do. But ever since I got MFP I started to be more conscious about what I eat, when I searched it's nutrition content in MFP is when I realized how bad it would to to my body. I would not give a homeless something I already sank my teeth into.

    One donut is not going to be "bad for your body". You could either find a way to fit it in, or should have searched before hand. Sorry but I can not condone being purposely wasteful.

    :D I say good job @StefannyFlorez we do what we gotta do to get to our goals in life. I know what you mean about picking up something and then after having taken a bite see the nutrition info. EEK :#

    @StefannyFlorez Just a heads up...there's a "NonJudgmental Confession" thread on here as well. Check that one out... you'll likely get far different posts. ;)

    Don't listen to people who don't respect your choice to say no, be you had a moment of 'habit' then realized it would have been bad for you. You were very strong just then, kept your eyes on your goals. Hooray!

    I wish I could get that willpower back!

    Definitely not a first world problem, but If you are looking for them, a health and fitness forum is not the place. Find your place dude!!

    With sugar being so abundant in our diet, believe me, I'm am not being "purposefully wasteful ". I do not waste food, donuts are not food. Watch the documentary " Fed Up" it's on Netflix, it will change your perspective on today's definition of food as to pertains to sugar and empty calories. Just a quick fact from the documentary, pasta sauce has more sugar per volume than Oreos.

    I worked with someone who hated fried foods. One day she brought a donut to work and was in the process of eating it. I said, "Thelma, I thought you didn't like fried foods!" and she started going on and on about the dangers of fried food. I told her that donuts were fried in fat. She said, no they were baked, and other co-workers piped up and said Sherry is right, they are fried. She finally was convinced and looked at the remaining donut in horror and threw it away. She was never the same afterwards.

    Some donuts are baked. They're not as good though, in my opinion. My sister likes those ones the best.
