Cheat meals, anyone?

T-Cake · 02-09-2008, 08:29 PM

Hey kids.

Saturdays are my cheat days

Anyone else in this with me?

What good cheat meals have you had lately?

Tonight I feasted on...
* roll & butter
* 8 oz wasabi-encrusted ahi tuna w/ white rice
* 2/3 of a large (very large) piece of carrot cake

My dad's in town so he took me out

Been a crazy-ass day around here...

Well...... I know I'm craving some pizza!

I had a large plate of fish and chips with lashings of salt and vinegar yesterday. I ate half of it in a fish-and-chip buttie slathered with butter. My spouse's cousin calls it a cholesterol sandwich.

Sounds like it to me..lol

It's the only meal I still drink a Coke with. Coke's the only thing that'll degrease my gullet.

We used to have a short ode:

Bradford girls have greasy lips
From eating too much fish and chips

lol...catchy

Blut Wump · 02-10-2008, 03:36 AM

Now you know why we Northerners have so many chip shops. It's not so much as meal as a mating ritual.

Oh man...I love carrot cake!!!!! The cake from publix is to DIE for. My goodness, I have had more of that stuff that I would like to admit to.

Do you know that Spanish has two words for fish depending on whether it's caught or still free: "pez" and "pescado" for "fish" and "fished fish" respectively.

Me too.

I tend to have a little "morning after" effect on Sundays because it's over for the week... which is why I usually like going for sushi on Sundays when I can afford it. It's a cheat, but not

Didn't know that. "Fished fish" reminds me of those people who say, "I woke up at 6 a.m. in the morning!"

Is there another a.m. that I'm unaware of? Redundancy is viscious.

I just woke up from a 8 hours of "cheat eating" dreams!

I am so glad it was just a dream

At least is out of my system.

But was I inventive in my dreams. I was sneaking somehow into Ritz Carlton type of hotels, eating on several occasions the following: a chocolate truffle covered cappuccino ice cream puffs with the richest most delicious gelato inside of those precious puffs, with a sponge cake in the base.

Yeah, I can't have cheat meals, it ruins my morale. I just picked up a different cheat meals--natty peanut butter and roasted almonds from Trader Joe's. I have been abusing those a little bit

Also, I have been chewing gum Orbit White Peppermint, whenever I am up for a "refreshment."

Also, since I am sick, I have been drinking lotsa tea with honey and lemon.

So, yeah, I am still going strong since Dec. 8, 2007. No bread, no chocolate, no ice cream, no pizza, no doritos (I love doritos), no cookies, no cakes, no abusing of fruits as before...the list keeps on going on and on...

I have decided to add a small portion of sweet potato to all of my meals. I think it may be a good idea to lay off the nutty stuff and up the good carbs a bit. It seems that my body responds better to low fat diets and handles carbs pretty well.

That's a good idea. Give it a try, see what happens. I myself had to ditch the peanut butter at night too because I was liking it too much. I switched my night meal over to eggs and Jell-o instead.

I have my home ade Chex mix every Friday night right now and I am LOVING it (just an assortment of good cereals, pretzels, and my home ade version of honey glazed nuts) but I have REALLLLLY been wanting some ice cream lately!!
