What is your "(non)guilty pleasure" food?



Recommended Posts

I say (non)guilty pleasure food because I refuse to feel guilty for consuming this. I eat only a small fraction of what I used to and I limit these to only 1 a week but they are seriously responsible for keeping my mind sane and balanced on this entirely new way of living I have adopted recently. Also, my weight loss has not stopped even after I consume these (at least for right now). So what is your indulgence food (or drink)?

About once a week I stop by Starbucks and get a tall (smallest size) Salty Caramel Mocha Frappachino with no whipped cream and made with Organic Soy Milk, sometimes with an extra shot of espresso. My tummy doesn't mind it at all, which is a little weird to me because it minds other more healthy things... lol.

Bacon is delicious but since I've been sleeved I made the choice to stop eating both pork and beef so no more bacon for meeeeee. Now turkey bacon is good but not the same however, if I'm in a bacon pickle I can always just use that.

I have a venti skinny sf mocha hazelnut latte at 170 calories and 16gr of Protein several times a week. It's a great high Protein snack or meal for me.

I eat mayo based seafood salad any days for lunch. I also eat full fat blue cheese dressing on my "salad" or burgers. I eat so little, I can afford to eat real foods that are not chemical filled fat free products and I am so happy. Even with these "sins", my calorie count daily rarely hits 800.

Lipsticklady I totally agree with you, even with my bacon... and I also dont indulge all those

fat free food because of the chemical and I also wonder about the Crystal light I drink I'm

I totally feel you about the full fat versions of foods. I eat so little now that I don't worry at all about eating full fat mayo or salad dressings. In fact, the lower fat counterparts of these foods are higher in sugar and salt to balance flavor (and don't succeed) so the full fat versions are better for you.

I have an adverse reaction to aspartame so I cannot even drink Crystal Light. Aspartame is really a harmful poison.

I am with you on the Aspartame! I am so mad bc Crystal lite used to have one with stevia instead and I can't find it anymore.

I love Greek Yogurt. I love the Dannon ones and Yoplait only has one with 10 carbs . The rest have like 25. Choboni is my favorite but it has a lot of carbs too.

so I gues my guilty pleasure is a Greek yogurt that has more carbs than I think I should have.

I agree full fat product for me. Except one........sugar free caramel macchiato Creamer from Coffe Mate.

I hated coffee before my sleeve and now I can't stand crystal light or any other fruity drink. I am left with Water and tea and my new found morning coffee. I drink a 1/2 Decaf with the caramel macchiato and my Premier Protein drink in it also. Very good!!

Now that's my kind of meal! I've only managed to get 4 chicken wings down so far and that takes an hour. lol

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
