One of my fondest childhood memories was going to the web site thisiswhyyourefat.com to look at the food porn. You can read up on some of the highlights which include a 30,000 Calorie Sandwich (ground beef, bacon, corn dogs, ham, pastrami, roast beef, bratwurst, Braunschweiger, turkey, fried mushrooms, ­onion rings and five cheeses, served on white bread.

In truth, it also included culinary favorites such as Paula Deens Lady's Brunch Burger made with Krispy Kreme donuts instead of a bun.

Sadly, the website is no longer in service, but at least I can console myself that as far as my wife is concerned I am still a child.
Giving away your youth - Childhood memory going to a website??? When I was a child the only webs we had were woven by spiders ar the webbing of a lawn chair!
HA HA HA HA HA!
Cranberry Sauce. Funny cause cranberries are low in CHO. So so much food/garbage has unnecessarily added sodium and carbs. Arg. Industrial revolution my ars. Damn twinkies
pretty much like everyone else it's the 3 P's - pizza, popcorn and pasta.
Sadly, for me, it's rice. I love it so ...
Stick with the long grain browns and reds and in modest quantities its not too hateful!
Pastas of any kind are a complete no no for me :( I miss it so much but I try not to eat it AT ALL!
I have to double my normal insulin:carb ratio for tortilla chips - and the salsa has to be bolused for too.

Weirdly enough, I can however halve my normal insulin:carb ratio for French fries. I found this out after consistently going hypo after McDonald's!
Krispy Kreme Donuts-Hot and Ready Now!
My home-made buttercream icing on White Almond Sour Cream Cake (I'm a hobbyist Cake Decorator and Type 1 Diabetic, LOL)
A fresh slice (or three) of French Bread
Caramel OR Peanut Butter Cake
Waffles without Syrup (I know, I eat pancakes w/out syrup either--matter of taste)
Ben & Jerry's Pistachio, Pistachio Ice Cream
Bruster's Key Lime Pie Ice Cream
Barbeque Pizza from Pizza Hut
Cornbread Dressing (with or without cranberry sauce, doesn't matter)
PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE!!!!!

I completely avoid--at least right now while I'm a newly diagnosed T1. I'm sure at some point I will have a serving of something on t his list. A SERVING. I am more aware now about serving size and just because you buy the pint of Ben & Jerry's DOESN'T mean you have to eat the whole thing in one sitting. I mean this is not a challenge....I've competed, "won" and ultimately have LOST.

I'm a sweetie...just love my sweets. But I know that I can live without those things and if I treat them as "treats" then I will be better off in the long run.
