To start off, I'm not fat. I'm a normal healthy weight. My issue is, I can't seem to stop eating bad. I try my best to eat well and such, but at some point in my day I crave chocolate or fast food and I just cave. Does everyone else do this? I worry cause this is daily for me.
Well just make sure its not too much. I really dont go for fast food but honestly, I have chocolate pretty much every day. Dark, delicious chocolate. Don't anyone try to come between us or you will die.
Junky food is appealing for a reason. All that fat and sugar sets off the pleasure centers of our brains, so it's no wonder you want that kind of treat daily. Millions of years of evolution have taught us to love sweets, salty foods and fats; only recently have most of us actually been able to eat as much of those things as we want, though.
It may not be the healthiest thing, but it's normal. If you're a healthy weight and are otherwise in good shape, it won't hurt you. Despite what some extremists may think, butter and sugar and white flour are not poisonous. They aren't the healthiest choices, but neither will you do irreparable harm to yourself by eating a chocolate bar occasionally. The trick is to make sure that the other foods you eat are packed with nutrition and lower in calories to offset the indulgent foods.
Dirtybirdy's right about the chocolate, by the way. Dark chocolate's packed with antioxidants, and as long as you savor a small amount, there's no reason you shouldn't have it daily. Unless you're me, that is. Chocolate makes me a raging bitch. It's a tragedy. :(
