Guilty Food Pleasure...

You get 150% of your daily sodium intake with that dinner! What a deal!

(Even in my 20s my future wife was telling me that was way too much sodium to inhale in one sitting)

 

Look at how delicious this looks. It's 1:42 AM and I would murder a hobo right now to eat this.

 

NO TRANS FAT!

 

HOW CAN IT BE BAD FOR ME THERE'S NO TRANS FAT!!!

I can't wait until the daysiders wake up and see two fat guys have OnCor jacked this thread.

 

I stopped drinking soda a couple of years ago. I drank A LOT before that.

It was easier than I anticipated, mostly because after giving it up for a couple of months most soda becomes absolutely disgusting. I figured I'd probably go back to drinking it in moderation at some point, but Coke just tastes like a chemical shitstorm to me now.

 

There's one near us where it's one flat rate to squeeze as much as you can into a styrofoam container for less than $10.
Talk about dangerous.
I'd start with good intentions. Just a bed of rice and some General Tso's. It would quickly devolve into a mishmash of stuff (coconut shrimp, orange chicken, Mongolian beef, couple pieces of fish, some pickles, whatever else looked good) that I affectionately call Chinese Gangbang.
I'm not sure how much my container weighed, but it was rather hefty. I'd estimate 5 pounds or more. I'd typically get it on my way to the office for a long Saturday desk shift and split it between lunch and dinner.

 

Cadbury Creme Egg cookies. Just found them.

I found this looking for the cookies.

Dewshine.
Mountain Dew DEWshine

 

I massively cut down my pop intake a few years back after a can of Coke made me feel like shit. I eventually gave it up all together which was easier than I thought despite working in an office where the lunchroom fridge is full of pop, including Dr Pepper, formerly crack to me. Don't miss it at all.

 

To the people who have stopped drinking soda, does that include diet drinks? I am drinking a lot of the diet stuff and worry that it makes me more likely to crave sweet foods.

 

You know who would murder someone after seeing all that ketchup.

 

I won't go near diet drinks.

I used to have debilitating cluster headaches. They didn't last long -- usually 15 to 20 minutes at a time -- but they felt like someone driving a thick nail through my sinus.

My wife did a little research and told me to stop drinking diet soda. I was probably drinking 2 or 3 cans a day.

My headaches stopped that day.

Seriously, diet soda is fucking garbage. It's a stew of chemicals that tastes like ass. I don't get why anyone drinks it, and I have no idea why I used to drink it. I am far, far from a health food nut, but Jesus, diet soda just seems like a basic self-respect issue.

 

Not ketchup!
