Diet Tired: The lighter side edition.

Although I take the epidemic and personal struggles of overweight and obesity incredibly serious, there is something to be said about not taking yourself too seriously.

Below is Diet Tired the lighter (or heavier) side.

A common attribute of struggling dieters (I use the term dieter loosely here) is being overly critical of their eating and activity patterns. 

If  When you have a less than perfect eating  day, wouldn’t it be nice if you focused on how much worse it could have been rather than how much better you should have eaten?

To add some humor and evidence to my suggestion, you may want to vist the site This is Why You are Fat. The site posts reader submitted pictures of the most calorie dense concoctions known to man kind.

The items include

Donut Fries Donut sticks with raspberry jelly and Bavarian cream dipping sauce.

The Bacone - A bacon cone filled with scrambled eggs and country gravy topped with a biscuit.

Corn Dog Casserole - Hash brown patties, bacon, french fries topped by corn dog slices with mustard icing.

Not only will you get a good laugh and likely a little disgusted, you will realize that your eating habits really aren’t that bad.

Bad food

I recently (before I started with Healthy Weights) shared a plate of the following at The Duke. I won't say they didn't taste good, but I definitely felt a little ill afterward and was glad I didn't have the plate to myself:

Thick potato slices battered and deep fried. Served with melted cheese and bacon on top with a side of sour cream.

For almost all of the dishes above I think, oh that sounds good, but then they go overboard. I love raspberry donuts but don't need to dip them. Who doesn't like bacon and eggs but why add the gravy? I can't even go there on the corn dog.

I understand they deep-fry chocolate bars in the southern states. All this makes me want to go grab some lettuce. :-)

Grease

For several weeks I had been craving pringles, finally i ate almost a whole can myself. Never again, to this day the thought of them makes me feel sick. Cured of grease for life!

re: The worst food ever!

We have a chip truck outside of town and last summer they had a big sign advertising "deep-fried Mars bars"!!  I never tried one but I am sure it must be in the running for the worst food on the planet!
