Of Doughnuts and other pastries... (Read 1272 times)

The subject line is a HUGE weakness of mine... In the last 2 weeks I've bought 2 dozen doughnuts and eaten them ALL BY MYSELF late at night...My binges make me feel like absolute s*** but there is something about those delicacies that is my "achilles" if you will... I'm going to quit buying the damn things when I go to the store, and in all other aspects I eat pretty healthy and am conscious of how I treat my body... Those damn doughnuts though...Anybody else have a fondness for pastries? By the way, I'm still running just about every day (check my log), and the devil on my shoulder says that the running is my penance for indulging in those pastries... Sorry, just thought I'd vent here quick...We run to eat don't we? Just really was feeling guilty

Weaknesses: HUGE sweet tooth HUGE love for beer (not quantities...well...not always ) but quality These are two reasons why I run. I also find that staying focused on fitness helps tame my cravings as well.

Dude, those must be some awesome donuts. How much do the donuts cost? I want a better description of these donuts... are they glazed, chocolate covered,??? When someone brings donuts to work, I'll usually scarf down 2, get a sugar rush, and then have a downer there for a few afterwards. I usually eat cruddy on the road, at parties, and when I am on vacation. Free alcohol sometimes is a weakness for me... whether at social events or when someone funds me.

My biggest food weakness is JIF peanut butter. I'd rather have toast with peanut butter and a glass of milk (or hot dog style banana sandwich) over a donut.

Dude! I have that for breakfast about 5 days a week! Peanut butter (gotta be JIF) isn't all that bad. Gets ya some good cholesterol and isn't terribly high in saturated fats. I have it on whole grain toast too, so I don't feel so bad about the inch of peanut butter on it. My huge eating pitfalls are... pizza and ice cream. Oh, and just generally over-eating at dinner. I am not a big snacker though so, that's good. Dave... just quit buyin' the freakin' doughnuts! Or, just buy one from the bakery. I know, I know, pot calling the kettle black with my "stellar" (over) eating habits.

Thanks for this post! I just ate a Dunkin Donuts sour cream cake "widow-maker" at 4 am last night. Night shift makes me very very bad!

I drive a truck so it's kinda like the cop thing, mandatory I eat doghnuts. I deliver to a grocery store chain that gives the drivers free doughnuts and coffee. Try being strong at 14 to 15 stops with these lovely things right by the door. The worst part is it's everyday of the week 14 to 15 times a day! You try saying no, I can't! Now I know why I have to run.

I had a Boston Creme doughnut today. My boss gave it to me. She wanted a partner in crime as she was inhaling a glazed doughnut herself.

Why do some peeps (women esp) do that? They are having a bar of chocolate or something bad and instinctively wish to 'bring someone down with them'. I think its so they can say 'its not so bad, sure Jimmy cake face had some too'. I find it amusing. My weakness is peperoni pizza on a double cheese base -- no amount of death by doughnut is going to top that bad boy

Rice Krispy treats. I have even bought those pre-wrapped ones thinking that I could stop myself after just one--HA! ANYTHING at Culver's is like crack to me, too...I had frozen custard from there 2x in a 24 hour period this weekend...
