you can eat o nly fo ur french fries?

Hi Hatley, I don't subscribe at all to this health food craze; I eat what I want when I want, so give me a Bacon Cheeseburger with those fries and I'll have regular soda, no diet for me. I have seen many ways people can die, and I am not just talking about minor things; I have seen people with their spine crushed in half from a roll-over MVA, and I have seen people with their head hanging on only by a couple of ligaments after they hit a tree skiing. I for one don't want to be on an autopsy table in similar condition, and have the pathologist comment that I had clean arteries. A lot of good that will do! Don't kill yourself with food, but don't be afraid of it either. If you have a medical condition that requires you to limit or eliminate certain foods that's one thing, but to eliminate food because it may be bad for you? Life is hazardous to your health!

so sorry. i cant even resist eating a lot of such things. i dont really know much about diabetis at all. my daughter seems to think i might have it and they just havent detected it yet. but dont that show up in blood tests? i have so many of the simptons. yet still have not got back to the doctor concerning results of blood tests. wish you could eat what you want Hatley, hugs, bon

I know the feeling. There are just some foods you can not stop eating. French fries are one, certain kinds of fried chips are others! Salt is so addictive that is why we keep eating and eating. As a diabetic it must be even harder not to have those habits.

You know Aunt Hatley I should never be sick... never. because I am so undisciplined when it comes to food. lol. If I eat french fries.. I eat french fries no number no nothing. I just like to eat french fries. hahaha.. I should not be sick otherwise I will die while salivating. but I am glad that you are.. and yes that keeps you healthier go for it.

Oh such a strong self discipline, my gosh! me too I think I can't if it is serve in a platter with dips in front of me, love it. It's better not to order french fries than to eat four to five pieces because for sure it can't be resist...right Ms Hatley?

No way!!! I love fries way too much to only eat four. You are not alone: french fries are amazing. I always eat all of mine and then ask others if they want their's :)

I always used to scrape the yucky corn off corn dogs, but I'm with you on the french fries! I won't eat them if they are way over cooked, but otherwise, don't even offer them too me, I'll eat the lot!

I too can't understand how people can eat only four chips or fries. I know that if I eat one then it'll lead to my plate being empty or leaving me a empty bag. It just taste so good, I can't just eat one. Unless I grab an order of small fries and a small bag of chips. That could stop me from eating so many.

The French need to be fried for becoming the reason for so many people's obesity and ill health..lol Never mind...it is difficult for me too... myLot keeps me off eating...if I sit in front of television...I eat non-stop. I need my both hands working...I suppose. I am now trying new method...I take only a small helping ...very small helping...just two pieces of some savory...and sit in front of tv... So when it gets over, I have to get up from my seat and walk towards the kitchen for more...a few times later, a little water, and suddenly, I dont want it anymore. I dont know if it has helped me much...but yes, I do feel the difference. This may be because I am lazy...

Did you ever see that scene of Frosch on his own in Strauss's Die Fledermaus (in English)?

I can actually stay away from fries. I love them but I love my body more, and would rather feel good knowing I'm eating healthy.

I can do it, but if just rather not have fries at all. I don't want to wear the fat that 4 French fries will out in me. I just try to make a better choice for myself. Being morbidly obese all of my life, in successfully changing my tastes. My daughter has lost 48 pounds, I think. She eats just about a third of what she puts on her plate. She left a little less than half if her pizza. The old me would have eaten what she didn't eat. She can still eat pizza and fries and still lose weight, but I like them too much. I like Pringles potato chips. I buy the single serving packs. I like that so that I don't have to worry about eating the whole can. The old me would eat a whole tube of them.

The only way I would be able to stop at 4 is if that is all I was served or the fries were not good, and believe me most people can not make fries. I would love to get into making our own fries at home. We have in the past but just recently bought out own fry cutter, just need to get it out and use it.

I can't help you with that! Lol I rarely set limits to how many fries/chips/snacs etc I am going to eat. I am trying to follow a healthy diet and have proper meals without many fattening food. For example I rarely fry my food, so I avoid chips and fried steak. Most of the times I cook in the oven, it is much healthier. But when I am eating out I will definitely get some fries and eat all of them! This way I don't feel that this food choice is forbidden, I am just not eating it regularly. Honestly, I could never stop at four fries!

Hi Hatley, french fries is one of my unhealthy food as well I know eating in excess over the amount allowed would cause harm to health. I just can't help finish them would always regret eating in this way. I wonder if without salt it still tastes yummy. Happy posting

I love eating french fries. I can even skip any meals if been eating fries already. When I was working abroad, I prepared to eat french fries rather than eating meal with bread or rice. It keeps me healthy and feeling I'm on diet.

Oh these people who only eat five potato chips or two french fries shouldn't have bought them to begin with. What a waste. I never get the combo meal. Have been going to McDonald's again lately because they have McRib again. I love that sandwich so I will go eat it. I don't like many french fries. I only like Wendys and most of the mom and paps places. Those I can eat quite a few of but the other places are discuting.

I could eat only 4 or 5 french fries but not sure why anyone would on purpose lol I usually don't order fries but will eat some of my wifes fries but I do stop after just a few :)

long time I do not eat french fries, when I saw other people eating it I so want to buy it. One is not enough, I even wanted to spend all. I probably do not know about diabetes.

I personally think it's all about "mindset" and how badly you want something. If you want good health bad enough, you will do what it takes to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Once you shift your mindset and stay consistent with healthy eating, your natural cravings for foods will gravitate toward the healthier option. Your taste buds will think all that sweet food is "too sweet" or "to oily" Your body is an amazing machine, it will crave what you give it.
