Have you ever...?

...sat done to read some of the fine posts here, all about good nutrition and somebody's success with healthy eating, felt compelled to type a reply congratulating them on their success, encouraging to keep going, all this while you munch on a Magnum chocolate caramel ice cream bar in one hand while clumsily typing with the other...:) True story. Life is good.

    Well, not on here...

    But, I can't watch the Biggest Loser on tv. For reasons I can NOT explain that show makes me want to eat and eat and eat and eat. I could seriously consume my entire days worth of calories while watching that show.

    I don't know if it is watching them workout so hard or what, but all my common sense gets thrown right down the toilet while that show is on.

    So. I don't watch it anymore. I'll watch Teen Mom instead - THAT one doesn't make me want to eat for the entire time it is on. ;)

    I can't watch teen mom- that show depress me...but it's funny you say that watching Biggest loser makes you want to eat. That's how I feel about cooking shows, but when I do watch biggest loser it makes me want to work out at the gym alll day and the worst part is that half the time when I do go to the gym someone has the cooking show on so i'm working out and my mouth is watering. Lol

    NO but what is funny is that the show man vs food will actually keep me from eating. One of my friends put it best she said we eat vicariously through him and thats why we dont get hungry watching that show. Oh and animal hoarders I get so grossed out that I cant eat if thats on

    This, but with supersize me. We watched the movie, and I went out to McDonalds and bought a double hamburger and a large fry. Just thinking about the movie is making my mouth water

    Then later in the year a girl gave a presentation on fast food and how unhealthy it is, and beforehand handed out small sized french fires to everyone. In a class of 27 girls, 5 guys, all the girls were disgusted, and couldnt eat the fries. Us 5 guys grabbed them all up and devoured them. One of the best days ever in that class

    Man vs food grosses me out. *shudders* I can not imagine having to consume some of the foods (okay, ALL of the foods) he consumes in the quantities he consumes!

    That reminds me of a girl I used to work with. She takes a drag off her cigarette and then says, I don't eat red meat, that sh** is bad for you." exhale

    Not that a magnum ice cream bar is the same as a cigarette but you know what I mean.
