Do you have foods that are just too enjoyable to stop eating regardless of empty calories, health issues or poor nutritional value? What's on your I shouldn't but I just have it sometimes? Mine would include soda, coffee, wine, pasta, ketsup, processed meats, mayo, onion rings, waffles and many others if I give it further thought. Source- Eat This Not That Photo- landolakes.com

Those waffles are my favorite. I don't count calories, I eat when and what I can. I drink water, no soda.

Waffles are hard to resist along with pancakes. Bagels with cream cheese and jelly is another weakness of mine

Yes, anything that tastes good is bad for you.

Yes, those are many of mine too. Dr. Pepper is my favorite soda. Brownies with vanilla ice cream and choc syrup, and I agree, cheesecake and Lasagna are full of delicious calories. French fries and potato chips are another of my snack foods..

I react quickly to bad foods regardless of how tasty they are and so I need to be strict with myself. I rarely eat them and miss them a lot.

Chocolate nut fudge, jelly beans (but not the black ones), and hot dogs with mustard, chili, and slaw. Now I'm getting hungry, but it's almost midnight and too late for a snack.

An impressive list Vicki. Hot Dogs are definitely a summertime staple. My Dad always enjoyed jelly beans and licorice. Chili is a favorite of mine especially in the winter. Desserts like cheesecake and rice pudding I just can't resist

It has trace minerals important for good health @dgobucks226 and a lot of carbohydrates

Pasta very filling but delicious. High in carbs but does have some nutrients too. I never turn down Lasagna or stuffed shells, lol.

Bread. I love anything 'bready' and refuse to give it all up. Pizza, waffles, cakes, bread, muffins - all of that. Everything else like soda, condiments, sugar etc I can give up very easily without batting an eye.

To me chocolates are worth the calories, but in moderation.

Yes, chocolate is not all bad containing some healthy antioxidants. Do you have a favorite brand of chocolate like Lindt or Cadbury?

I've been eating good for almost three years, but when someone put Hershey Kisses in the Easter bag this week, it didn't take long to eat them.

@dgobucks226 I had a pub burger several years ago. It was delicious.

@just4him Yes, a casual atmosphere and cooked right on a grill located behind the bar, perfect!

I guess fried takeaway food would be something I like to eat occasionally.

@dgobucks226 My very favourite is a Hungry Jack's Whopper Junior. It's a burger - smallish. I think the main thing I like is the mayo they use and the pickled gherkin.

@JudyEv That sounds very good. Burger King in the U.S. has a burger called a Whopper Junior too. I hardly ever go to those fast food chains but if I did I would order that item with cheese.

Yes sir, I totally agree. Reese's peanut butter cups, wow! Actually, most candy bars are hard for me to resist.

Coney Island cheese fries. Stick me in a cave with an endless supply of cheese fries and I will be one happy gal
