Such a short fix. But a long list of consequences.
Why do we overeat knowing full well the price we’ll pay later? Especially since it happens again and again and again and again? Do we never learn?
I didn’t eat “bad” food per se (the place I wanted to go to was closed, and I didn’t eat bad junky food yesterday either, but overdid it on the quantity). I know I should eat lunch, stop, then not eat till dinner. So simple, and yet why so hard to follow? Why we humans such fools?
I had a large lunch, (a super giant entree-sized bowl of chicken spinach soup, 2 pcs spinach dumplings, and 1/3 of a sizzling chicken, pepper, and rice dish). I was more than full but as soon as I got home I felt the compulsion to eat again. I knew I shouldn’t, but eat I did. It was vegetarian sushi so I rationalized that “it’s not so bad” and it was “only” 8 pieces (which btw, was a real annoyance bc it was cut so small and was hella $$$ for the size and amount…will never order that again).
I just now ate the rest of my spinach dumplings (4 pcs) and a banana. And guess what? I still want to eat!!! I think I’ll cave in in 11 min, when it hits 8pm. O_o
Ok, so what I had really wanted to do this afternoon was grab a Big Mac and chomp down on it (haven’t had it in a while, in an effort to eat healthy). Plus I found out the darn McDonalds was closed down for renovations so no big macs or fries for me. And damnit, I want the damn McRib!! WHY they so cruel and limit the McRib to like 5 locations in the US at any given time???
I guess I overeat bc I really crave eating the bad unhealthy food. They’re so much more tasty! 😛
I *want* to eat healthy, but healthy food never fills me up, costs a shitload, and is nowhere near as satisfying as bad unhealthy but oh so tasty junky food.
Honestly, all my brain can think and dream about is chips, pizza, and big macs. And fries. And cakes.
Why don’t we ever think about carrots like that?

6 chocolate chip cookies
1pm lunch
1 large banana
2 more cups coffee
4:45pm dinner
1 double 1\4 pounder
1 large can chicken noodle soup
8 chocolate chip cookies
Meds
I would like to eat healthier too
Wow, that isn’t much food at all. So you basically survive on coffee & cookies? 😛
I miss eating real cookies. I had a vegan cookie Friday night but it was vegan so it was flaky and tasteless. Sigh.
You know what I wanna eat right now? A chik-fil-A sandwich (with the waffle fries of course).
I just had a small dinner (my remainder of the chicken & rice) and I’m still hungry :/
I made them myself
Mostly my dinner is better
But yeah coffee cookies and banana in the day
I want cookies, I’ll take fucking vegan ones if they include chocolate at this point. Being diabetic sucks.
The vegan cookie I had did have “chocolate” chips, although I couldn’t really taste the chocolate… It didn’t have sugar but I’m guessing it had some kind of sugary thing, probably agave…didn’t read the label too clearly cuz there was a guy standing in front of them, blocking me from looking closer.
Yeah, I’ve been trying to cut down on sugar too but man, it is hard sometimes. I do find most American food way too sweet, but I miss my juices and well, the occasional cake.
Today I’ll be making cookie size mini muffin brownies with a chunk of Hershey’s dark chocolate in them. Cuz I ate all my cookies last night. Banana Time..
And I’ve run out of bananas. Gotta go buy some more. When I’m not too depressed/lazy to go out. Wish I could eat real chocolate cookies. Or brownies. Or heck, wish I could eat whatever I wanted. I swear, I’ve been cursed.
Breakfast:
3 cups of coffee
1 bowl of honeynut cheerios with 1% milk. Opened fridge and stared at the Bailey and Soco for about five minutes, closed the fridge.
Lunch:
Cottage cheese with avacado
Pot of green tea
bunch of carrots
Walked into the kitchen and stared at the Doritos for 3 minutes, opened up the fridge and Stared at the Soco, opened the Bailey and sniffed it. Closed the bottle and wept bitter tears.
Went to the gym and killed myself on the treadmill angry at the world and the lack of Diabetic friendly brownies.
Dinner:
Sigh
Cottage cheese and avocado again
broccoli steamed with moz cheese
seltzer water
the rest of the fucking carrots
Opened the fridge stared at the fettuccine alfredo I made the family from scratch, opened the Soco, sniffed it, caressed the bottle of Bailey, closed the fridge and thought about going to Whataburger.
Went to bed.
Still thinking about the Baileys.
LOL. That’s like me. I open the fridge like a million times a day. Look and stare at what I’ve got (almost always either nothing or nothing tasty), sigh, then close the fridge back up. But doesn’t stop me from doing it an hour later, like there’d be better tasting food I could eat that just jumped in there from the last time I opened the fridge. O_o
Wow, doesn’t seem like you eat very much either. At least you got some exercise in. I got carrots in my fridge too but have yet to even peel it! >.<
Sincerely i wouldn’t be able to last a day with that quantity of food. I’d starve at the mid of the day and start eating my furniture, or go outside and start mooing and chewing on the grass in my backyard.
Breakfast: a cup of muesli and quaker squares with milk, a toast with butter (fuck margerine) and red tea.
Lunch: bowl of rice with whatever stuff it comes packed with (vegetables, chicken flavor, i don’t know, i just grab whatever bag), an apple and/or a banana, regular tea. If i have no time i grab something like a couple of slices of pizza and replace dinner with lunch (so i won’t have junk food twice a day).
Dinner: a burger/sandwich with decent ingredients (i.e: i cook it, i don’t buy them at mcdonalds or whatever, use real vegetables), again an apple and/or a banana, red tea.
Add a dozen of in between meals: like 1/2 bag of cookies (sometimes a full one), 1 kg of fruits, coffee (usually 1 flavored one, tons of regular), maybe a diet soda, often a piece of chocolate.
I agree tho, healthy food (or not so unhealthy food) is way too expensive. I do like cookies and chocolate, but at times i eat them just because it cost more to eat fruits than cookies/chocolate *sigh*. The flavor thing is debatable, because you can get used to healthy food and not crave junk one, but it takes some time (and lots of money).
How long does it take to get used to the taste? I’ve been trying to eat healthy the last 3 1/2 months (though I have tried on and off before, but always gave up bc of the blah taste). I would really like to actually WANT to eat healthy rather than have to force myself each and every time. It’s too damn hard cuz eating is like 2-3x a day
For me it took quite a while, and whenever i went into it completely it wouldn’t work. So regardless of the time it takes (which i’m… sort of guessing was like a year year and a half for me?) the idea (imho) is diminishing the quantities of junk food little by little and then you sort of forget about them. I remember that there was a while when i actually despised junk food taste, and i still sort of do (except for decent cookies and good chocolate).
It makes me go through sort of a binge/not eat anything mode. I oscillate between not eating much of anything, bc food isn’t enjoyable anymore, to binge-ing on food I shouldn’t have (I try not to overdo it though).
Btw, I have too many allergies, which is why eating is so love/hate. I am allergic to dairy, seafood. Very sensitive to sugar, wheat, gluten, soy, rice, apple, wheatgrass. Somewhat sensitive to peanuts, sesame seed, potato + a couple more I can’t remember.
SO- how in the world DO I eat healthy when I can’t eat any of the above foods?
It leads me to either not eat and be always hungry, or leads me to cheat.
Breakfast: nothing
Lunch: nothing
Dinner: chicken and rice, and a cup of tea.
I was forced to sit at dinner table and eat, otherwise, I wouldn’t have eaten anything. Can’t eat when I’m stressed. When I’m over this though….. Oh, food had better hide from me.
On the plus side, you’ll lose weight! (unless you’re me and you don’t even when you don’t eat anything). -_-‘
When I’m stressed I stop eating too. I hit 89 pounds during the divorce from my first husband. I finally started forcing myself to eat. I just plain can’t behave that way any longer because I’m diabetic, if I go more than five hours without food my blood sugar crashes and I start getting really sick, hence the interesting meals today. Eat or die. And diabetic coma is no way to go.
….I like the title though. 🙂
I like your username. LUV the show! Somehow, I love the bad guys more than the good guys in the movies/tv shows. 😛
Thanks 🙂
So for those who have cut out the bad foods, the ones they are allergic or sensitive to (dairy, wheat, gluten, soy, rice or anything else), after some time of being “clean,” are you able to eat a little bit of it again? Are the reactions less severe?
I’m just wondering if I stay “clean” if my reactions to those items would be less severe so I can cheat on them a little more, from time to time. I just wanna be able to eat a slice of pizza or a burger or heck, a normal sandwich without it giving me symptoms. Or at least symptoms that last a lot shorter than they currently do.
Don’t know about the others, but if i stop eating the stuff i’m allergic for a long time, it ends up being a toss up: i might be able to eat it for a little while before the allergies kick in, or i might get like 500x the allergies. So i guess it depends on your metabolism and a bit of luck.
Breakfast (1300 hrs): chicken fajita skillet with whiskey on the rocks.
Lunch: see above.
Dinner: chicken fillets, mashed potato and coleslaw.

I’ve cut out red meat from my diet, with occasional red meat meals to appease my carnivorous family. I end up with bad skin reactions and my body can no longer process the fatty deposits properly, and not even a few months of abstaining will help — I have to stay away from red meat entirely.
Passion borne of lust is always short-lived. I think I heard that on a movie somewhere.
mmm fajitas….
you cannot eat the organic grass fed red meats either?
i hear most of the stuff people can’t eat are the corn fed and factory fed ones. and bc of all the hormone and vaccines injected in the animals.
I would live on fajitas if I could. Whisky before noon, if it is Bailey’s….gosh I wish it was the holiday season again so I could just drink the entire time.
It’s a sad state our society is in. How are we supposed to eat healthy and be healthy when most of our animals are sick and fed unnatural foods and kept in terrible conditions and injected with god knows what? Even our fruits and vegetables, they’re sprayed with all kinds of toxic crap. And organic doesn’t mean they aren’t sprayed with chemicals- they’re just sprayed with “organic” chemicals. So it’s slightly less bad.
Well you could have backyard chickens like I do. amazing little animals and really nice. Mine lay just enough eggs to have almost a dozen a week. I’ve never seen yolks so yellow and thick. Amazing stuff.
Meh. Don’t have land. Plus I’d be tempted to eat them for meat lol
How many do each chicken lay?
Wait a minute. A chicken laying an egg is like a human giving birth. Imagine having to give birth like every day? Or every couple of days and always be preggo? That’s kinda weird/creepy. Never thought of that before.
on the other hand, I luvs eating eggs tho. mmm…
Gotta love these late night convos on sp really interesting weird topics going on
It is not really giving birth, more like ovulating and popping it out for my delicious breakfast taco. And yeah Deadinside, nothing good can happen at 2 am in the morning, even among un suicidal people.
Not true in my experience sleep deprivation can loosen your mind up a little if you’re with the right people you’ll laugh your ass off literally one time I was hanging out with some friends and my friend randomly started talking about when he had to fight someone butt naked and everyone cracked up laughing
@Dead, that cracked me the fuck up, fighting butt naked. OMG. yeah I get way too free with words when I’m sleep deprived. Anything after 2am and I need to put the keyboard away, but here I am gleefully clicking away.
Humor helps the soul and I’m the same way as soon as it hits 2am I start talking about weird stuff from any subject last time I was out this late with friends we started talking about as a prank we would replace one of our friends gear shifter in his manual car with a giant dildo so he’d have to grab it to change gears
OMg that is hilarious. I would so do that. Imagine his humiliation just trying to get it replaced in a shop with something more suitable.
We actually replaced it with a huge dildo with the balls at the end and my friend actually wasn’t mad about it he stopped and said wait so a bunch of grown ass men walked into a sex shop bought a huge dildo together while shit faced and I’m supposed to be the one embarrassed (everyone fell DEAD SILENT)
lol I guess he got the last laugh 😛
Yeah when we all sobered up we realized how fucking stupid we must have looked 3 guys walking through a parking lot at like 2am with a huge dildo in hand
And here i am again, at almost 6 am, after a couple of hours of not checking sp, wondering why every conversation ends with a dildo, LOL.
All this food talk made me so hungry and It’s been so long since I was on street, eating street food. I really (did) like Chinese. So today, early in the morning, I went out and ate some manchurian. I did like that. That was some good taste. I really miss taste in my life. I barely eat.
It’s fucking 11.30 only. Sometimes days are longer than the night.
I’m *always* hungry. It’s a curse. -_-‘
Breakfast: cereal
lunch: bacon sandwich
dinner: bacon sandwich
dinner: cereal
Winning food day.
baconnnnnnn…..
