Hello everyone. I’m fasting today (intermittent fasting), and so of course I’m sitting here fantasizing about food. When I’m not fasting, I try to eat healthy, which is easier in some circumstances than others. Here are a few circumstances that make it hard for me:
(1) When people bring homemade goodies into the rescue squad. I volunteer at the rescue squad, and people bring snacks in and leave them in the kitchen all the time. If it’s some mass-produced convenience food, I can probably resist it. But set down some homemade dessert that I have to keep walking past and it’s very hard to resist.
(2) Noodles. Noodles can be healthy, but I love them whether or not they’re healthy. Macaroni and cheese, lasagna, all those Thai dishes – when I see noodles on the menu, I’m often tempted to forego the grilled whatever with the healthy vegetables and get the noodles instead.
(3) Sugary drinks. I never liked soda, and I drink my coffee without sugar (but with creamer). But in the winter, I am a sucker for lattes and mochas and hot chocolates (I ask for less syrup, but even with less syrup is still gets sugary). Then in the summer I crave smoothies or frappuccinos. If I’m at home I can stay healthy, but god help me if I’m in a shopping center with a smoothie or coffee place!
What about you guys? What tempts you when you’re trying to be healthy?
Potato chips or tortilla chips. Any kind as long as they’re salty. I could go through several tubes of Pringles in one sitting if I had enough beer to wash them down.
This is sorta funny to me only because i’m the exact opposite. I’ve started getting very squirrelly around food people bring from home unless I’ve been to their house and know how they function in a kitchen. But that’s a personal problem
For me, I can’t resist pizza. It’s so easy to just walk by and grab a slice without even thinking about it-- especially dangerous because pizza’s one of those foods for me that one slice is DEFINITELY NOT ENOUGH!
