Truth Time-What unhealty food do you like? Dove bars. Crunchy Cheetos

Last edited Wed May 24, 2023, 10:37 PM - Edit history (4)

With my dental work haven't been eating. Yes, I know they're gross but can't help myself. And those frozen ice cream cones with the chocolate and nuts on top. We call them Nutty Buddys or ANA Drumsticks

Chocolate and fruity flavored. I stopped by a convenience store and got ten of the small long ones to sneak into the movies - even though I also got a hot dog and a popcorn as well. Haven't been lately so I thought I would treat myself, and the movie was 11 to 1:30.

I just finished a salad and a veggie-heavy sandwich for dinner to cancel out lunch. That's how it works, right?
