What is your favorite junk food. I know, being cyclist we watch what we eat and I do as well. But what is the one thing you partake in every so often that is a guilty pleasure?

Mine is Doritos with French onion dip!

I C E C R E A M specifically Klondike bars, Ruffles and Hell'va good and last but not least popcorn!!!

Should we move on to beverages ?

Sure! What is your favorite beverage?

If I were to add mine it would be Cherry Coke with movie theatre popcorn or root beer that a dearly love!

lol, sorry I was being....flippant But as far as that goes, it would be Canada Dry Ginger Ale. There is another thread for favorite beverages.

I figured with the green smiley but drink is a part of it too.....

My wife is a pasta freak! She is Italian and breads and pastas seem to be as a religious experience as anything. I am German and Irish so anything meat that has been pounded with red cabbage or with potatoes makes me feel as if I were in Heaven.

However, on my somewhat modified Keto diet for the last two months I have cut carbs so drastically I lost 16 lbs. My goal is to hit 185 and remain.

Speaking of Italian food......my favorite restaurant in town has one of the best chicken cacciatore’s I have ever eat. Their chicken piccata is to die for too.

I used to eat an occasional Klondike bar (one every month or so). This year my wife is seriously ill and I am her primary care giver. Hospice nurse stops in twice a week to check on her.
I am pretty much confined to our property and never go anywhere in the house or on the property without my phone in case I’m needed.
My wife lost her appetite so to get her to eat I started making her whatever she wanted. Junk food is better than no food. Every night before I would go to bed I would offer her a Klondike bar. I would have one with her. I told her in a perfect world these would be health food.
That ended when I had my heart attack a month ago. She hasn’t wanted one either. I guess she doesn’t want to have a heart attack on top of her terminal cancer. I actually gained some weight when I was eating junk, I got up over 180#. I was down to 170 last year with all my riding and healthy eating. That was too thin for someone who is 6’5”, it did make me a good climber.

First let me say God Bless for your dedication and commitment to her care. Not many people have this anymore. My wife is a NP for our counties Hospice and prior she was an Oncology NP for a major cancer center. She has seen both sides of what you are seeing and I can only imagine how it is affecting you.

I too use to eat an occasional Klondike but 2.5 months ago on my weight loss journey (207 down to 186) I had to do away with those heavenly bars. I do eat however an occasional Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich. Slightly less bad stuff and just as tasty almost.

I pray for your wife John and you as well.
