Name something strange and super unhealthy that you used to eat before weight loss



Recommended Posts

@@pink dahlia I never knew that I had a sugar addiction until I did Whole30 last Spring - and I am 11 yrs out from my RNY! It is truly shown to be an addictive substance according to research I have read. I have to really listen to my body to sense if I am getting too many sugars/carbs because it will cause me to be hungry and gain weight.

I used to love Swedish pancakes. My mouth is getting a little moist just thinking about them. Impure thoughts!!!

Just a game my husband and I play...

@@Beni yum, I would so have loved peanut butter and banana sandwiches fried in butter and cheese fries with bacon -- maybe at the same meal -- in my foodie days!

@@fat_free This would be a big hit with the foodies! You should try to sell your recipe to Dunkin Donuts! Seriously!

Oh wait, my bad. I am supposed to be helping people to eat healthy! Never mind, LOL!

@@built2livenotexist this sounds tempting. I really am grateful for Paleo. It makes it so much easier to NOT justify eating foods like this to myself. For me it really is a slippery slope. All the money that I spent on plastic surgery isa pretty good motivator to eat healthy, too. :o

@@amponder I've been traveling in the South and it was darn hard to pass up sausage gravy and biscuits. I am thrilled that I developed a rocking recipe for a microwave Paleo buttermilk biscuit and adapted Paula Deen's awesome sausage gravy to be Paleo. Once in a while I will serve this with scrambled egg and it is sooooo good.

I have diabetes, celiac, lactose intolerance, and an aversion to red meat. It makes dining out a challenge! So I became a pretty good Paleo recipe developer. Here's the biscuit recipe for anyone interested: http://www.healthcentral.com/obesity/c/276918/172994/microwave-paleo-biscuit?ap=831

My grandmother introduced me to Peanut Butter and Karo Syrup.< /p>

I knew that low-fat Peanut Butter wasn't for me the first time I tasted it. Sure enough it has added corn syrup.

Ha! That''s funny! Growing up, we never had junk food in the house..........ever. So, I learned at an early age to improvise. One of my favorite things to do..............on the sly of course.........even at 8 years old, I was hiding food.............would be to mix either maple syrup or brown sugar with peanut butter (depending on what was available).

I would mix it a coffee cup, and then be sure to wash the cup out. (Couldn't leave any evidence). How sad.

Mine was Peanut Butter mixed with maple Syrup. To this day I can't keep maple syrup in the house out of fear that I'll give into the temptation. Each ingredient by itself doesn't do anything for me but together it's a bit of paradise.

Oh my God! I just read this!! See my previous post! What is WITH us????????????????

As a teenager I used to make Peanut Butter and banana sandwiches with maple Syrup. I haven't thought about those in years, but I remember loving them.

Mine is similar to Kindle - store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough, eaten right out of the package.

I think that's the indulgence I feel most shameful about. Wait - no, the worst was frosting right out of the can...

Yep.............frosting out of a can too. Would buy it just to secretly eat it out of the tub........sometimes even putting it on ice cream............Wow this topic is a real eye opener, but glad to see I am/was not alone.

As a kid, I absolutely loved white bread with mayo. I also would sneak the box of powdered sugar and eat it with a spoon.

As an adult....Bananas Foster over vanilla ice cream. You slice a really firm banana into slabs, melt butter, brown sugar and rum in a sauce pan, then saute the bananas until they are coated and slightly soft. Spoon them over ice cream while hot and you have a dessert to die for!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
