What is your weakness?

[mamahill]

For me, it's chips. Doritos, namely. I haven't met a Dorito I didn't like. I can't even BUY them anymore because I used to thinking the big bags (rather than the smaller ones) would be more economical and I could use them for DH's lunches. Let's face it though, few of them ever made it into the lunchbox.

For my mom, it's cookies. When it's hot like this, though, I turn from chips to ice cream. So I actually bought the only light ice cream I can tolerate (Dreyer's French Silk). But these cravings are just not helping me get toned.

So what's your craving/weakness/Achille's heel? I know you have one... (two? three? come on)

Oh, I have lots, but here are the big offenders...

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream (cookie dough and mint cookie)
Anything chocolate
garlic mashed potatoes
Pop-Tarts (strawberry frosted)

Okay, so my list isn't all that bad, but I've realized I just LOVE the 'bad' carbs - the starchy, sugary kind. I'm trying to switch to the 'good' - high fiber - kind, but they just don't taste as good.

A friend of mine was joking that if you only like the taste, you should just take a bite, chew it up, and spit it out. Ew... I think my garbage can would be full by lunchtime!

Cheetos
Sheridan's Chocolate Concrete (frozen custard) with Oreos
Pizza
Cheese

My DH worked with a woman who would do that... especially with Krispy Kreme donuts. She would take a glazed, take a huge bite, chew it, then spit it out in the garbage... He was always so grossed out. Evidently she wasn't a nonsloppy spitter.

Great question, Sarah!
I LOVE food in general (I think that's why I like to cook so much) but sweets are my weakness! Examples:
Dark chocolate; cheese cake (not the plain kind); rum cake; and all kids of italian or french pastry.
If I ever went on a low-carb diet (seriously), I think I would die of starvation!:)

Pretty much anything sweet---cookies and ice cream especially. :)

CHEESE, AH THE POWER OF CHEESE. I can eat cheese on most meals and not to mention snacking on it between meals! Also love chocolate, but don't keep it around. DH and I both have problems with sweets, it they are in the house we both will eat them in one sitting!!! Another no no is loading up my coffee w/sugary delights (marshmallows, sugar, epresso mix and so on!) But cheese is the worst and we eat a lot of it in our meals. I just try to eat moderately instead of banning it!

Cheesburgers, cheeseburgers, cheeseburgers. And not those skimpy little things from the fast food joints. I'm talking big, fat, and juicy dripping with cheese, sauteed mushrooms, onions with a big old side of fries next to it. Yes fries are a weakness too (never had that weakness until I tried the Adkins plan).

Another favorite of mine is Sushi, but that's pretty low in fat.

I think I probably have one for every letter of the alphabet, let's see...

Avocado
Breyers Mint choc chip ice cream/Ben and Jerry's Pistachio ice cream
Cheese cheese and more cheese
Doughnuts
Elephant ears (not a weakness, but I was trying to come up with an "e")
Fudge


I think I'm going to stop since I am making myself hungry!!!! But really the ice cream and the cheese are my *biggest* weaknesses.

[lukkykatt]

I love love love doughnuts! I could probably easily eat 3 or 4 at a time if I let myself (never have had that many at a time, but COULD). I am also a big time ice cream fan!

BTW, mamahill - have you tried Baked Doritos? I think they're really good too :)
