wow - is it sad that some of these made my mouth water???

wow...most of those actually made me want to vomit. I think i'm slowly getting adversion to fatty fried foods and looking at that stuff made me grossed out.

Haha, someone sent me that yesterday. Made me hungry!

That Oreo... omg... I'd like one of those for lunch, please.

though these recipes are clearly excessive, this calorie counting thing has really shocked me over the last 2 months. though i am a big girl, i do not tend to eat much more than most of those around me (unless on a binge) so i never realized how many calories those around me and myself would eat on a normal day. pre life plan, i would feel disdain for dieters who were so snobby about what other people are eating, but now i realize that most people are naively eating 2 or 3 times their recommended calories each day and that is freaky. i watch friends of all sizes pile the food on their plates at our weekly dinner party and think, wow! that is my daily calorie allowance being consumed in one sitting.

A friend sent this to me last night - a few of the pics made me hungry!

None of the pictures made me hungry although I would've tried cheesecake on a stick at one point in my life.

That stuff was disgusting! That would make me vomit not fat! Gross!!!

I must be living under a rock. The only thing that looked familiar to me was the pizza.

It's like, please, please... let me have a heart attack. now!

Also, as someone who grew up in Rochester, the Garbage Plate seems so out of place on that list!

I mean, come on, that other stuff is obviously meant to be silly, while garbage plates are a valid meal! Especially at 3am.. after a few drinks...

And they forgot to mention that it's always served with a roll and butter. Like that's necessary.

I can't belive Poutine isn't on the list. Or the "horseshoe" sandwhich.

Poutine is canadian (Quebec, I think) a huge plate of french fries, cheese curd, and gravy (and sometimes other additions like the famous canadian chef who adds foie gras).

The Horse shoe is a sandwhich of some type (varies from area to area, a hamburger, or hot beef or ham and cheese, sometimes on grilled bread) on top of a bed of french fries and then covered with cheese sauce and sometimes gravy, reputed to have been created in Washington D.C. (though I've only encountered it on menus in the Midwest).

I haven't tried either, and not planning to (It's sacreligious in the midwest, but I'm not a big fan of gravy, even on mashed potatoes or meat).

This is absolutely food porn, me too, I wouldn't mind the Mega Double Stuff Oreo!

I've never heard of any of them, but would try this one!
Deep Fried Peanut Butter-Covered Brownie Wrapped In Cookie Dough

~CGH~

I won't lie there were a few things that looked yummy to me.

That garbage plate reminds me of "carne asada fries." If anyone has been to San diego or lives near there you know what I'm talking about!

French fries, grilled steak slices on top, then covered in cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa- mmmm it's so good but so bad for you! It reminds me of the garbage plate that's about the size of it.

Who puts a whole corndog on a pizza lol- I mean come on now- slice it up at least! lol.

Ew.
I can feel my Gallbladder in pain just by looking at those.

I ain't ashamed to admit that some of those pictures looked good. Obviously the portions were too big...but most of them I wouldn't walk away from..smaller portions of course

The bad part is that someone sent this to me first thing in the morning..so of course I started the day hungry...curses!

Remember..everything in moderation...even a fried twinky..split it with someone..same for the deep fried candy bar...Oh Boy..........never mind.......................................
