Old label reeces new labels reeces

Smaller and more sugar.

Maybe I'm missing your point, I thought Reese's PB cups are candy. I wouldn't buy them for sustenance, but a sweet treat. I don't buy any candy, but Reese's is high on the list if I did.

Why the hell are you looking at Reese Cups? lol

Why the hell are you looking at Reese Cups? lol

Probably because they are delicious.
I hate myself sometimes for reading labels. I pick up something I fancy, then read the label, then put it back.
Mexico started this a few years ago and prevents me from even reading a label. El buzz killo.

lol it came up on insta just thought it was interesting since most people say food was better back then, this just kinda shows how its always been a slow creep to worse.

Speaking of PB Cups. We have an ice cream shop in Town that specializes in ice cream nachos. Big thin waffle molded into taco shell, with PB Ice Cream with Reese's Pieces and PB Cups on it. My wife ordered it last weekend. I had a couple of bites, and I swear I almost came in my pants.

Like the chick I suggested a cauliflower pizza to at Costco who was on the phone trying to decide. Not because they are healthier, but because they taste good (and might be healthier).
She said, referring to her girlfriend on the phone “Oh, she won’t eat ANYTHING that is healthy.”
Again, this was a rare instance where I was speechless.

The same visit, I was cruising through the cereal aisle and a (fat) woman picked up some granola and her (fat) husband barked out “We already have enough healthy stuff in the cart”.
Again, speechless.
This shit BLOWS my mind.

“We already have enough healthy stuff in the cart”.

I absolutely loathe that word in regard to foods. lol

yea i dont really crave anything my kids eat, because its all the same anywhere we go been there done that.
once in awhile they got something super new and ill just have teeniest nibble to satisfy curiosity and im good with that.

they used to hate sharing with me, because I took big bites back then, now they dont care because they know ill usually say no, or my" bite" is stupidly tiny that they dont care lol.

although right now with cutting everything is no.

It’s weird and maybe I have completely morphed but, right now, I can and will eat whatever I want.
But I pick up something, then just put it back. I am on my way home from the gym and think of stopping at KFC, getting a sub sandwich, maybe some Chinese….then I just start thinking about how much I want to get home and eat my chicken, rice and asparagus.
Speaking of expensive! Asparagus right now.

Shiettt I wish I had that kind of self control. If I’m offered a bite of something , I might as well chalk that day up as a loss because I’m ganna binge the rest of the night like a crack head chasing the first hit. Lights out game over for me

I like my foods as well.
So while I abstain from most of everything to avoid going back to old habits. Doesn't really feel like im not eating what i want.

Apples outta control too.

Thank god potatoes are cheap.
Got a 15lb bag for 7 bucks.

i live vicariously through my kids somewhat at times.
I buy random shit sometimes just to see them enjoy it.

right now they really like chocolate bagels from better goods with Butters Cashew Butter Cocoa Pebbles spread from fit butters.
they also really like cocoa covered almonds, and milk chocolate covered almonds alot from sprouts.

I only will have a bite or two of something like that in the off-season. That doesn't happen in prep.

I practically drool when my girl eats sweets lol she has such a huge stash of stuff in the house. Currently my biggest temptation are these mini pumpkin cakes and mini apple cider cakes. There like mini muffins with some kind of cake icing on top.. I practically have to pad lock the drawer so I don’t go in it lol

ive gotten used to it with my kids and wife. it was reallllly hard at first. seeing them chowing down ice cream pizza and stuff lol.
or being sent to the store to buy absolutely nothing for myself and just treats for them.
it gets easier!
the only thing that never gets easier is going to the movies and not getting anything lol.
that shit is soooo hard.

 

[NobodyKnowsMe]

One thing that has helped me lose weight is using Instacart. I put in only the healthy items and maybe once every couple weeks I add one pint of ice cream or a cereal in the smallest package size. It relieves the tension I feel in a grocery store where I'm like "shit is that a new limited time item candy? I have to try it".

I just get a big ass cup of diet soda and smash the refills that seems to help for me

Swedish Fish are my all time favorite candy. Huge childhood recall/memory for me. Costco had the huge bags, cheap. I picked it up, looked at the label and put it back down. I don’t want anything of that sort in my body.

But……
Those of you following my IG saw my reference to cranberry walnut bread from Costco bakery. I buy a loaf and eat it in two days. It’s a real problem.
But I am returning to Mexico in a few weeks and my wife, usually my gate keeper, says that I won’t get it there so just enjoy it while I can.
She’s right, but still, I have only been through two loaves.
Eating some right now.

 

[heckler7]

looks like the same value to me? I eat a lot of sugar, I did extra 2 hours of cardio yeasturday, it was a nice day so I took the dog for 2 loops around my beach woke up to to a 47 blood sugar that was diving so I ate 2 packs of twix. chocolate will drive my sugar up pretty good but it wont sustain it. something with the oil in chocolate about the same amount of something like skittles can screw me up for the entire day

 

[Bolan]

Im just stubborn. I don't eat junk and its odd I don't crave anything
but the same damn meals I eat ED.
The closest thing to sugar I take in is Karbolyn and Rice.
Im weird I guess.

Those are good. My mom went through a phase when I was a teen where she would eat Swedish fish and those sour gummy worm with sugar coated all over them called Trolls. All of a sudden one day she never bought them again and said she felt she was getting addicted to them and she has stuck to that. Sadly, I think she has somewhat an eating disorder bc she tries to remain thin by having meals of like, and I’m not exaggerating 3-4 yogurts and that’s it for lunch. My dad and I have tried to talk to her and she gets very defensive.

See what I mean. You old geezer, you probably got a quarter to fill a bag with “penny candies”. I did before our fishing trips.

My wife loves the fish. They pull my crowns off
But, yeah I do like candy and those Reese’s are right up there.

Speaking of candy. Tommy, do you remember when Hershey bars went from 10 cents to 15? All of America in an uproar. They increased the size a wee bit and used that as justification. A 20% increase in size for a 50% increase in price. All other candy bars followed suit.
Then one day they were a quarter, then more, then I noticed they were 35, then 50.
Last I paid attention, a Snickers was $1.50 or something like that in the checkout lane, “impulse buy” spot.
They snuck up on us big time.
I understand inflation but it is crazy overblown.

Like I said back in January, cows in ‘Murica and South Africa eat the same, drink the same…same animal.
But T-bones here are $15-$20 per pound. In SA they are $3/pound. Why?

If chickens were aware of how much their eggs were being sold for, they’d hold them back like a fancy chick holding back the pussy until you buy her a Loooey Vooton bag.

I grew up pretty poor, 25¢ was a lot when I was a kid, I remember my dad giving me a dollar to walk to the gas station to buy a gallon for the mower and he expected change.
Times have changed.
I was at a restaurant last week for breakfast, I hardly ever do that, it’s been a long time. I ordered 3 extra eggs because it’s just not breakfast without 5. Got the bill and they charged me $2 an egg for the extras. Seriously, it was a basic breakfast priced at $10 until the egg up charge. WTF, I buy 60 egg flats from Wally World for $13.

It’s just greed, all of it.

When I worked construction (commercial doors), our boss would take us to breakfast at Denny’s.
The crew orders the Grand Slam for $4.99
I order plain oatmeal and six eggs (cooked in that nasty, butter “flavored” oil). Mine came to $15.
He asked why. “Because this is what I eat.”
Last time he took us to breakfast.

But when we worked in Ensenada, he took us for carnitas in TJ at Carnitas Urapan. I blew my diet for that.
