Extra-butter popcorn w/ lots of transfats. And you?

[crim son]

What quickly prepared, calorie laden garbage food do you like to eat when you have the urge to degrade your body?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. The only really junk food thing I eat is Salsa Doritos or Ben & Jerry's.

I honestly eat pretty damn healthy most of the time.

Having worked at a movie theatre after HS, I will never put their "butter" on popcorn EVER.

[crim son]

5. I know that shit's poison.

I also had cheap ice cream tonight, although I'm not certain that B&J's is the healthier alternative. Thank the deity for a speedy metabolism. Hope the heart is as resilient.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

12. At least Ben & Jerry's has an organic line.

Honestly, most of the ice cream I eat is soy ice cream. It's not any lower in fat or calories, but I think it's best to avoid dairy overall.

I have a fast enough metabolism where I can eat anything I want though, so I'm lucky in that way.

[crim son]

17. Organic is good.

I was born thin and stayed that way until my third child. I blame him for the creepy pad of ick on my stomach. But alas it's only a matter of time. Not for you, I hope for your sake.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

30. I don't plan on having children.

However, my mom appears to still be holding a grudge against me. She was 105lbs until she got pregnant with me. She's 125lbs now. Oh yeah, and she's 5'7", in her 50s and still pulls off a bikini.

I got my general look and my personality from my dad, but it seems that my metabolism and young looks from my mom. Overall, I think that's a good deal.

[crim son]

34. I think I have my father's body and metabolism. My mind and

personality... it's a combination with leanings toward my analytical father as I get older and harder. As for not having kids - although I mourn the passing of the flat abdomen, I really can't complain about the cause, but I don't believe that having kids is anybody's purpose. Your mother sounds like a lucky woman. Lucky and perhaps v. energetic?

It's a battle as you get older, no matter who you take after. Attitude makes a tremendous difference though.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

40. She used to do absolutely nothing.

Once my married my stepdad (my dad died), she suddenly got into all sorts of outdoor activities. He's really into water sports, skiing, ATVing et cetera and now my mom is as well. Previously, she just did karate with me. Damn...I can't wait until I test her for her black belt. She's been putting it off for about four years now, pretty much just to avoid the testing.

[crim son]

43. Yeah, I just read about you and your punching

bag in Redstone's thread.

So, is you Mom thin because of her genetic makeup, or because of her outdoor activities? I'm kinda screwed, because I have rheumatoid arthritis. A surgery prevents situps. I'm very lucky that I'm built as I am. So your mom: is she in shape because she keeps active, or because she's into her outdoor activities?

You? A black belt? or just doing it for the entertainment of it all?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

46. Nah, she was always thin.

She doesn't need to exercise really. Yeah, I got my black belt when I was 17 in isshinryu karate. I'm a ni-dan (2nd degree) now. If I went more consistently, I'd be a san-dan (3rd degree). I have some issues with my instructor, so I'm pretty much looking into a new school. I plan on trying out a kyokushin school soon. They're heavy on full-contact sparring and I'm mostly in the martial arts because I like to fight. I'm awesome at my forms, but in actuality, I'm in it for the fighting. The weapons are fun, too.

[crim son]

48. LOL, yes, who doesn't love the weaponry!

I don't know a thing about it, so naturally I'm impressed. I do wish I could try something like that. Ah well.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

50. You can do it.

It's always a good time to start. A good instructor will work with anyone's physical abilities. My instructor has several physical restraints and I know of people in wheelchairs who practice the martial arts even.

Go for it!

[crim son]

52. Ya think?

I'm really interested in getting involved in something more physical than walking or basic yoga. That, and I'm going to take singing lessons. Why not?

Okay, I'll stop bothering you now. Thanks for chatting; you are rather interesting. And because you know that, even more so! -L

[Haole Girl]

2. Toll House chocolate chip cookies

Yum!

:9

[crim son]

6. I can't even make them because I eat 'em.

Worse: white chocolate chips w/macadamia nuts, made with the tollhouse recipe. I can eat the entire batch!

[haf216]

3. I am so addicted to the milkshakes and Chic-Fil-Lay.

They are so good, but probably your allotted calorie for the day. LOL

[crim son]

7. Well, yeah! But

it sounds like a reasonable alternative to three square meals, no?

[haf216]

13. oh, yeah if only i could live on those.

Every one where I work is as hooked as I am, so it seems like everyday someone is making a milkshake run. Not good, not good.

[crim son]

16. When I was working, I gained weight.

Currently unemployed but I must reverse the trend. I really need a strategy to keep my weight under control. I'm thinking regular exercise in the form of sex, but need a partner. Got a friend?

Kidding. Sorta. :rofl:

[haf216]

20. Well, kinda in the same boat,

no partner so no exercise.:rofl:

[crim son]

21. I figure we could work off,,, what - 400 calories

a day, had we the right inspiration. Some day, perhaps :)

[haf216]

23. I can only hope lol!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Dark chocolate for extreme moments of degradation!

For lesser moments.......macadamia nuts.......

Or..........cheese (sharp cheddar preferably) and crackers....

Trail mix sometimes.......

That's about it..........:hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. At least the chocolate and macadamia nuts have some health benefits.

I love the Green & Black Maya Gold Chocolate and the Dagoba Xocolati, including the xocolati hot chocolate.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Sounds yummy, my dear haruka......

My chocolate is hand made by a chocolatier who comes to my weekly Farmer's Mkt......

Her chocolates are to die for!

:9

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

24. Those are, of course, the best...

Our next door neighbor in CT has a chocolate company that is simply amazing and there is a place called "Rose City Chocolatier" one town over from our home in NJ that even has a line of awesome vegan truffles. They are so rich and creamy that no one would know they don't even contain dairy or eggs.

I'm a fan of the Dagoba because I love spicy chocolate. Chilies and chocolate are a suprisingly good combo.

[crim son]

10. At least the dark chocolate has the .... what are they?...

the antioxidants which keep your cells healthy. Yes? And macadamia nuts are fatty but with good fat? Smart lady, even when indulging :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Thanks sweetie........

I am so fucking virtuous......NOT!

But honestly, thank you........you're a doll......:hug:

[crim son]

22. I love it when you say "fucking."

It makes you so much more like me :evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear crim son.......

Ah, you made me laugh!

I haven't felt like dropping an F-bomb in some time.......

I must be getting better! :evilgrin:

[crim son]

35. Dear one,

one good night is a v. good thing!

[Omphaloskepsis]

8. I just finished Wendy's...... Burp..

Jr Bacon Cheeseburger (catsup only) and a large fry.

[crim son]

11. Chicken strips w/honey mustard sauce.

I'm trying to make the break, but it's truly painful...

[WCGreen]

14. junior Whopper w/cheese....

The whoppers are just too much...

The buns are soggy and the lettuce is limp...

Reminds me of the last time I tried to score at a bar.....

[crim son]

19. Dude, aren't you married?

Lol. Every now and then I'll have a regular Whopper, because a tablespoon of grease just isn't enough.

Done with your reports? -Lisa

[WCGreen]

25. Why no....

I watched V for Vendetta instead....

Now I have to finish them tomorrow night....

And you, how was your friday night....


As to being married, why, pray tell, wouldn't the buns be soggy and the lettuce limp....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Would you recommend that movie?

I keep hearing conflicting reviews of it.........

:hi:

[WCGreen]

42. It's exciting....

But Peg, I don't think this one is for you...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. Well, now that's interesting!

Why on earth not? I don't always watch chick flicks.........

Too bloody and/or violent?

[WCGreen]

Too superheroish....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

49. Hate to be dense........

But I'm not following your reasoning.........

Could you enlarge on this a bit? :shrug:

[crim son]

31. It was good, then bad, now good again.

As for the limp lettuce et al.; I believe I'm remembering something a man with an older wife said to me once. Doesn't bear repeating but apparently it's stuck in my head.

[Broken_Hero]

26. usually

fast food! But I have sworn them off again, ....:)

[crim son]

28. That is noble and I have faith in your strength and persistence.

hehe.

[Broken_Hero]

32. thanks

last year, I went over 6 months before falling off the wagon again...:)

[crim son]

37. Last year was just practice.

And falling off the wagon every six months or so is called "moderation" which, as we all know, is a v. good thing.

[Broken_Hero]

41. true...:) Thanks...:) nt

[Ptah]

33. Unsynchronised popcorn

Bring me butter or bring me death.

[crim son]

38. LOL. Isn't it "bring me butter

AND bring me death"? Whatever, I'm w/Ptah!

[Ptah]

45. Alright, ride the wave

[crim son]

47. Sweet!

A buncha those bouncy guys too! I'm just too buzzed to post 'em all! (note the excessive use of the exclamation mk!)

[JI7]

36. french fries

[crim son]

39. From where?

It matters.

[JI7]

51. from many places

some of my favorites are fat fries from fatburger, wendy's, wienershnitzel's chili cheese fries, in and out. i also like mcdonalds, burger king etc.

one thing i have learned is to get kids meals if i feel like some junk food but don't want too much of it. it satisfies the cravings without eating too much ofit.

i bet the kid's meal sizes are probably what the normal size was years ago before all the portions got larger while still having super sizes.

[crim son]

53. I've never tried to gett a kid's meal.

Being kinda old and all. I agree though: no fry is a bad fry. Unless I make it myself.
