Amy in Orlando Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I was packing up our healthy lunch for tomorrow (we're headed for a beach day). As I packed up the black bean/brown rice burritos (which are delicious), oranges, popcorn and some crackers and cheese, I was struck with a craving for Spaghettio's (with meatballs, no less). I work very hard to be frugal and healthy, but sometimes the 70's child in me just takes over. Who knew Red Dye #2 was addictive. What do you crave that you know isn't the healthiest choice? (I should add here, I like Pepsi, Ho-Ho's, hotdogs and Twinkies. I'm sure there is more but that's what comes to mind.) :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabetika Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Mother's brand Circus Animal cookies. If I had a bag of them right now, I'd eat the entire bag. Once I start, I just can't stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen sn Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 This pregnancy - my "bad" craving was Pepsi. And I LOVE Little Debbie Peanut Butter Bars. Obviously - don't give in too often because I am sort of a health nut. And when I do give in - I absolutely do not read the ingredient list before I buy it or then it would go back to the shelf. I also love milk - which I know isn't really good for ya. But we buy organic and I am not giving up my comfort food of breakfast cereal in the middle of the day or night.

Guest Virginia Dawn Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'm a crunchy Cheetos person too. I love the new jalapeno cheddar. I had eaten quite a few little bags before I brought myself to read the ingredients. I also like the Little Debbie peanut butter bars, Jalapeno Pretzel Pieces, peanut m & m's, and brownies of any kind, and take out fried chicken. There is this desert that some ladies at church make, with a pecan shortbread crust and layers of chocolate pudding and cream cheese/cool whip. I could eat that all day. Speaking of the 70's, I absolutely adored the taco flavored Doritos that they used to make. For some reason my family called them "Stinky chips." If they made them again, I'd be in trouble. Spaghettios now make me feel sick. There was just something about the combination of eating Spaghettios and drinking green Koolaid at day care that ruined it for me.

NicksMama-Zack's Mama Too Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 When I go to a deli (hardly ever), I sheepishly order liverwurst with mayo on pumpernickel, I notice an uncomfortable silence takes over the crowd of customers....or is it my imagination??? My second favorite deli sandwich is egg-salad with bacon... Also a big fan of the BIG MAC. I only eat them when we are on road trips. One or two a year seems to satisfy me. 95% of the time I'm a whole grains, fruit and veggie person. The other 5% I fall of the wagon, I do it big time.

GailV Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 There is this desert that some ladies at church make, with a pecan shortbread crust and layers of chocolate pudding and cream cheese/cool whip. I could eat that all day. Oh, I love that stuff! But I haven't had any for years and years. Next time y'all are having a church dinner could you let me know so I can come too? Really, I guess I'm too picky of an eater to make a list. There are moments that Doritos or donoughts sound good, but, right now they sound awful.

Doran Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Sometimes, much as I believe in "real food", much as I talk it up to others and have become something of a local spokesperson for healthy eating, I find I'm like a recovering alcoholic. Some of those old urges are still there, waiting to sneak out and bite me in the bum! Except for a few of the candy-type temptations, I have managed, so far, to resist. Cotton candy (though I could never as much as I once could, it still tempts me) Gummy bears and their ilk Krispy Kreme donuts Corn dogs Sour Cream and Onion potato chips McDonald's fries It wasn't so long ago that I posted of my own dilemma, very much like yours! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percytruffle Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Why would you think that liverwurst is an unhealthy food? It is packed with iron. It's "real" food! I guess I just don't put it in the same category as junk foods. But, hey, I am mostly German, so that explains a lot! Liverwurst, bratwurst, hotdogs, salami, etc. I guess my biggies that I crave and know are not good for me are: Planter's Cheese Balls, which thankfully are no longer in the stores!

A little salsa and sour cream to dip them in and mmmmmm.mmmmm.mmmmmm. [*]Cotton candy (though I could never as much as I once could, it still tempts me) I just had some cotton candy at the boardwalk last Friday... it was great! some people here have listed food that I didn't know we were suppose to not admit to liking!

I didn't put them on my list however, cause I don't consider them "unhealthy", if in moderation. Hot dogs, on the other hand, are unhealthy no matter if you eat one or a dozen. Yuck for you but soo yum in every other sense. BTW, which color of M&M's do you prefer? I used to be a light brown girl until they replaced it with blue.
