Top 11: Most shameful things I've ever eaten.

One of the things we talk about at WW is that its okay to eat anything you want as long as your prepared, plan for it, and don't over indulge. However, I believe there have been moments in my culinary past that may have made even the most seasoned WW meeting leader cringe. Also, I believe that shedding one's guilt through confession is a healthy thing. So, in that vein, here are the top eleven most shameful things I've ever eaten. Why top 11? Because I like to go one step beyond.

11: The Double Down
I already wrote an article on this, so I won't go much further on it here. However, an interesting fact to think about is that a KFC Double Down has less Calories, and less fat than a McDonalds Big Mac. On the other hand, the very premise of this "sandwich" earns its a place on this list.

10: McDonald's Triple Thick Shake
Apparently McDonald's never heard of the phrase, "if its not broke, don't fix it." I always thought their milkshakes were find the way they were. But no, they felt the need to try to improve them in recent years. Now they're triple thick, and topped with whip cream.

9: An entire Box of Tag-a-Longs
When its that time of year again, and those little demons dressed in green and brown stand around the grocery stores offering up boxes of cookies for $3.50 a pop, they get me every time. And don't kid yourself. Those girls act all cute and innocent, but they know exactly what they're doing, "Hey mister, want to buy some cookies? They're only a few dollars." That's how they get you. The peanut butter tagalongs are my vice of choice, and every year we by twelve boxes, TWELVE! One for every month. And now that Amanda's niece is a girl scout they're so easy to obtain. However, there was one time where I opened a box as I played video games late into the night, and before I knew, I reached for another cookie, and there was no more left to eat.

8: Jimmy John's Italian Night Club
When hanging out with with one of my friends and it comes time to enjoy a meal he will always ask for suggestions. I will throw out pizza, Chinese, or Mexican. After turning all those down, we will inevitably always end up deciding on Jimmy Johns. Because, you know, that's a much more healthier choice compared to my original suggestions...right? Well apparently not; the first time I looked up the nutrition facts for the sandwich I always ordered my jaw hit the floor. This sandwich is worth as many points as some of my fellow WWer's get in one day!

7: Chili Cheese Fries
Found at most ballparks, fairs, and theme parks, these are the kind of things that make foreigners shake their heads at us Americans. Think about it, deep fried potatoes, smothered in melted nacho cheese and and chili. And by some, that's considered an APPETIZER!

6: Perkins Peanut Butter Silk Pie
Perkins has its perks. Okay, stop rolling your eyes. But anyway, they have breakfast all day, and great muffins. They also have pie, and there is on particular piece that consistently tempts my pallet every time I walk past that dessert trophy case. Death by chocolate has got nothing on this baby.

5: Wendy's Triple
A really hungry person that's in a hurry will do some really foolish things. When that happened to me, I once ordered the Wendy's triple.

4: Honey Roasted Peanuts
How bad could peanuts be? Well, when they're honey roasted, they're really bad. These are dangerously addictive, because they're so small. So even when I was chowing them down by the handfuls, it didn't seem like I was eating THAT much. However, they come in containers that hold 16 servings. I remember while living in the dorm at college, I once ate half a container of these buggers in one night.

3: Little Debbie Peanut Butter Crunch Bars
Oh Little Debbie, why do you haunt me so? This brand offers so many delightfully delicious yet oh so bad for you snacking choices. My favorite is the peanut butter crunch bars. But one snack package can't be that bad on its own, you might say. You're right, however, I didn't eat just one. My emotions were behind this incident. As a kid, my very sensible mother only allowed me to have one serving of these peanut butter beauties. Well, one day I was feeling particularly spiteful. I wanted to have more than one, so I did, and polished off a box of them over a weekend. By now, you may have started to notice a peanut butter pattern emerging.

2: Double Stuffed Oreos Dipped in Crunchy Peanut Butter
I shake my head when I think about the concept of this, but it just tastes so good. However, its just so unnecessary. The very thought that I consumed this, more than a few times, brings me to giggles. Although, I cannot take credit for this. I got this concept from a movie, but which movie it was has escaped me.

1: A Frozen pepperoni pizza with Summer Sausage and extra cheese added
This came out of wrestling. The subject of more than a couple future blogs, I'm sure. After one season I think I felt like I needed to make up for lost time, and a frozen pizza on its own just wasn't enough. So, I threw on some extra toppings, some pieces of summer sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese. I'm not proud of this one; I am so ashamed.

There it is, the top 11 things I'm ashamed to admit I consumed. Well, I gave it up, now do you have anything to confess?
