I was reading a fitness/nutrition magazine over my lunch hour while eating cheetos and drinking a coke. I did not realize the absurdity of this until I noticed my orange fingerprints were sticking to the pages.
While this is really completely mundane and pointless, I am convinced I am not alone with this sort of behaviour. Any others like me out there?
Someday the enormous health benefits of a donut and ice cream diet will be abundantly clear to everyone!
When I’m at the gym, trying desperately against all odds to lose some weight, or at least not become more fat, the Food Channel is often on the TV. Besides all the delicious foods being prepared, the shows are broken by commercials for Red Lobster, with all that yummy butter dripping over everything. I sometimes leave the gym and stop off at the nearby pizzeria to get an eggplant parm sandwich (well, it’s vegetables, right?). I have so far resisted the Burger King that is immediately opposite the gym.
ETA: Hey, we now know that chocolate is good for you, and that butter is better than margarine, right? Could doughnuts be far behind?
Meh, I think the winner is the jogger I saw a few weeks ago - smoking.
Maybe it was an organic cigarette, packed with vitamins or something.
My friend and I used to go to the gym religiously, and by go to the gym I mean we’d do like one lap on the running track or do one set of one exercise, then go sit in the sauna for a while, then go a few blocks over to Chinatown for deep fried spring rolls. Man, we worked out like that for months and never lost a pound! 
Especially when washed down with a Coke Zero to take the sin away.
Mmmmm, Sin. It’s what’s for dinner.
I just wanted to say you have the cleverest user name I’ve seen in a long time.
Welcome aboard.
I was just eating leftover Easter candy while watching The Biggest Loser, does that count?
Sin? We’re talking sacrament!
But you have inspired me to think of the perfect drinking straw – a stack of donuts with the chinks in between them sealed with icing. Now it won’t last long, so you gotta suck real hard and chew down the length of the straw while you’re still sucking up soda. Or soda and ice cream, because you’re drinking a float. Or a shake.
I see this being done competitively.
You all are definitely my kind of people. And you’re making me hungry.
Sometimes I will go to the store to pick up dinner to eat at work that night, usually a lean cuisine meal, a diet coke and a candy bar. I’m sure the lean cuisine and diet coke cancel out the badness of the candy bar.
No, you’re not alone.
I just joined a gym 2 weeks ago. The second time I went, I stopped at the Panda Express across the parking lot for mushroom chicken (I had gone to the gym straight after work, skipping dinner). I was gonna go to the Rubio’s Fish Tacos next door, but changed my mind. Ever since then, I can’t go to the gym, or even pass it, without thinking, "Hey, some deep-fried fish tacos would be nice. Or Chinese food. Mmmm… " :o
Heh. A while back I saw a guy step out of the front door of our local Cancer Society office… to have a smoking break.
Well, I was sitting in my living room after rugby practice tonight and did 3 sets each of military presses, front, and side lifts, while drinking a 6 pack of porter. Does that count?
You don’t think that’s a coincidence, do you? I bet they have the highest sales numbers around!
My grandma worked as a receptionist at the American Cancer Society office in Queens, New York, until 1993, and smoked the whole time. (She has since quit.)
We are rugby players. We’re supposed to do this. (I was a weak side wing and then a flanker, what are you?)
Thanks for the replies! I am not alone after all. In fact, I am pretty average, so I feel much better. 
For lunch today I will have some peanutbutter cups with a chocolate milk chaser while I finish reading that fitness magazine! 
There was the time I was drinking a Slimfast shake while I was on the phone ordering a pizza to be delivered…
This very morning I stopped at a grocery store to stock up on provisions for work. I’m determined to lose weight so I bought fat free yogurts and rice cakes. . . and 2 donuts from the store bakery - they weigh about a pound each and are really yummy. I’m gonna see if I can manage to only eat one of 'em today.
Now that I’m working out a lot and am getting stronger, I have developed an inexplicable craving for President’s Choice Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
