ladyd728 106 Posted April 30, 2014 There is a new Krispy Kream Doughnuts in my area. The hot light was on and cars lined up from the streets with police patrol. I just drove on by without succumbing to that temptation. Note to self, new route home. 8 NMJG, starr313, MandaMom23 and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toomuchrose 47 Posted April 30, 2014 Congratulations on your wise decision, One thing has worked with me regarding fast food, and actually I used this for the last several years even before starting my WLS journey - keep in mind how it can be disappointing! I kept seeing an ad for a new Wendy's sandwich that looked great, fresh lettuce, fluffy bun, etc. I gave in and got one and it looked like most fast food, slapped together and resembling something that had been sat on! There was no sauce, the bun was smashed and squished, it wasn't hot enough, and it all added up to a waste of 450 calories on something that wasn't even good. Ads usually look so much better than the reality. When you said Krispy Kreme, the first thought I had was how sick I feel after two donuts, the nasty greasy coating on my teeth, the slight nausea, etc. Yes, their raised donuts are good when warm, but the cake kind are too sweet and kind of sickening IMHO, lol. Not to mention the feelings of shame afterwards. Stay strong! 2 dawalsh and Nancy E. reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joatsaint 2,814 Posted May 1, 2014 I'm lucky, Krispy Kreme donuts mean nothing to me. Now put a white wedding cake with white icing in front of me and it'll be a little harder to pass up! 5 dawalsh, Danni-doinit4me, RNBSN786 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pelicanlady 122 Posted May 1, 2014 Good for you. I haven't had my surgery yet, don't even have a date, but am trying to eat less in preparation. When I want something I know I really don't need I tell myself that you already know what it taste like, so you don't have to eat it. You have to do whatever works for you to stay on track, even if it means you have to take a different route. 2 1Day1Life4Now and dawalsh reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
donnascell 17 Posted May 2, 2014 I went a picked up donuts for my husbands work and didnt realize we still had a krispy cream not to far away. They hand you a donut when you walk in.I ate half and felt like I was gonna die in the car. The sugar hurt me bad. The 15 minute drive home seemed like an eternity to use the bathroom.

wcn1970 239 Posted May 4, 2014 I gagged the other day driving past a Taco Bell. No fast food cravings here. I know exactly how terrible my body will feel after. Eat clean! 1 dawalsh reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
