Guilty Pleasures

Ok..I know most of us have done this since surgery. What is the worst thing you have ate since surgery. "guilty pleasures" Mine would be the ocassional frito or potatoe chip! I have not tried any sweets (cakes, cookies, candy etc...) I was never really a sweet eater Karie -96

I had one french fry and one Gertrude Hawk Strawberry Smidgen, on two separate occasions. But when I chewed them they tasted so terrible, I spit them out. So the worst I chewed AND swallowed has been.....popcorn and sugar free fudgesicles. Just a handful of the popcorn and the ice cream just one a day for three different days. Tasted so good, and I felt so guilty after, because they tasted so good. (But I still ate them) Nona

I eat peanut butter crackers all the time, popcorn, tried sugar free jelly beans but got sick, but my one guilty pleasure is sugar free chocolate wafers.... love them. I do eat the occasional one or two french fries and the taco bell nacho supreme but only because my choices are very limited at school. Gotta eat what I can or nothing. Staci

I don't eat any sugar but I have been known to I put a bit (sometimes bigger bits than others) of Blue Bunny Sugar Free Vanilla Ice Cream in a bowl and top it with some almost flat sugar free Root Beer. It makes a YUMMY Root Beer Float. I put it in a bowl because the foam disappears faster than in a mug and then just eat it with a spoon. But I guess I am stupid or something because I don't understand why (if you get all your protein in during the day and haven't had a lot of calories that a sugar free ice cream with 90 calories should cause guilt?

Ha...unfortuantely I have you all beat! I have had popcorn (at least it was air popped w/lite butter). I have had sf popsicles...and those darn cabs (from sunchips) are just evil for me but they taste so darn good! I even had a small slither of birthday cake from my son's 4th birthday earlier this month. I have to stay away from some of those things if i want to lose those last 17 pounds. Maybe if I stopped eating that junk...the 17 pounds would come off easier. Unfortunately, I have never been one to do things the easy way. Oh well! ~Rachel

I eat anything.....just not that much BUT I refuse to give into the DONUT monster! Otherwise I have had slivers of chocolate cake and various desserts, parts of cookies, diet cola (can't even drink a whole one...don't like the taste that much anymore Fried foods....french fries....--but only a few I eat what I like/want in moderation but WON'T give in to the donut monster until goal in about 35-40 lbs!!! I think there were like 60 donuts within 10 feet of my cube this morning ....2 sets of people brought them in...it was EVIL! I know I wouldn't even eat a whole one for fear of the sugar. Haven't dumped yet and I have probably gone up to 20 grams of sugar at a meal. I eat a bite of my hubby's reese peanut butter cup, ice cream, bite sized chocolates. I just make sure I keep my overall calories down and get in my protein. SO I feel NO GUILT at all!

I'm with Shannon - I'll have a bite of anything I want, and that satisfies me. I don't feel at all guilty about a small forkful of pie, or a couple of french fries. And I certainly wouldn't even think of feeling guilty about eating a little bit of anything low-fat and sugar free, no matter what they call it (cookies, ice-cream...) If I had to come up with a "worst" item, it would be that 1/4 piece of carrot cake from Starbucks. I had it while waiting for dh to pick me up after I finished a 10k walk. I dumped so bad, I thought they were going to have to call me an ambulance. The good news...I can't even think about carrot cake without feeling a bit queasy. Deb

Well...I had strawberry pie made with sugar free strawberry jello, real strawberries and cool whip. It was SOOOO good, and at the time I ate it I didn't feel guilty, however, when I went to make it again, I looked at the calories of the cool whip and almost fainted =P I didn't let myself have any once I saw that. Sometimes, ingnorance is bliss.

Okay, you guys are making me crave peach cobbler (I've wanted some for months but have kept away...). I bought a bag of Splenda (way too expensive, but one time will be okay) and plan on making my mom's recipe tonight. It's called Cupacupacupa 1c. sugar/Splenda 1c. flour 1c. milk or lactose free milk peaches or blackberries Voila! Presto! Bake for thirty minutes and its the best darn thing money can buy!!! Mmmmm Now I am feeling guilty, but the good thing is I know I will only be able to eat like one or two small bites. Sorry, had to share.

My "guilty pleasure" was a 1/2 HOT Krispy Kreme donut about 5 mos post op. Haven't been tempted since -- those few bites didn't send me over the edge, either!
