I’m no slouch in the dietary department. I’ve studied nutrition right down to the molecular level and I know what’s good for me.
Most of the time, I snack on healthy treats.
And eat balanced meals.
Or transform leftovers into meatless entrees now and then.
All good.
And good for me.
But…
I have a weakness.
Yup. Froot Loops. (Gasp.) Sugar laden, full of dye, and absolutely delicious. Sometimes, nothing else will satisfy.
Blame it on the kid in me.
What do you eat when nobody’s looking? (Remember — nobody’s perfect, least of all moi.)
Enjoying life one covert bowl at a time,

P.S. If you don’t want the world to know, just put “confidential” at the end of your comment — your secret’s safe with me. :)
This isn’t news to you because we have talked about this….a bag of salt and vinegar chips washed down with a bottle of chardonnay…yes I said a bottle…some days are more difficult than others. :)
FYI, those are my favorite chips. (Another thing we have in common!) And, some bottles are bigger than others… Do I hear ice cubes clinking?? :)
~ Kim
Well….let me think here.
I really like peanut butter sandwiches with dill pickles…..not often. Maybe once a year :-)
Heather, you need to meet my friend, Marla.! (see comments) Sounds like a quirky, but intriguing combo… ;)
~ Kim
Fruit Loops are the best! Yum! Ummm right now probably this chocolate ice cream with fudge in it from a store down the street. It is addicting and I am so glad they don’t see it any other time of the year but summer :)
Chocolate with more chocolate… definitely addicting. :) Enjoy every bite, my friend!
~ Kim
I am shocked… Coming out stories can be so heartbreaking LOL
BTW I tagged you in my last post. I don’t know if it is something you are interested in but it was enjoyable.
Duly noted, Mike — sent you an e-mail to “explain” — definitely interested and THANKS for tagging me! (I just read your post — great links!)
Yes, it’s sad but true — every now and then I succumb to the glitz, glamour, and hype of POP displays — especially in the cereal aisle… can anybody say Cap’n Crunch? :) Thanks again, Mike!

Popcorn! Cheese Microwave Popcorn. A WHOLE bag just for me!!!!!!!!!
Missy, I haven’t tried the cheese version (yet) — sounds like I’m missing a whole lot of happiness. :) Will put it on my “to try” list!
~ Kim
Hilarious! I never would have pegged you for a Froot Loops kind of a girl. =) When no one’s looking . . . I eat popcorn. Then again, I eat that when everybody is looking too. I also loooove a hot bowl of rice with butter and Lawry’s mixed in.
Jenna, I just remembered your “popcorn post” — made me smile again! Hot rice with butter is a favorite of mine, too, but why didn’t I think of adding Lawry’s? Thanks for clueing me in! And thanks for appreciating my quirks. :)

Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. If it’s chocolate, I like it and eat it whenever I get a chance.
Yes, ma’am! Chocolate is my all-time favorite, too — sneaky or not! :)

Wow!! the pictures are amazing!! :) but! what i would mind to admit eating? mm..yes it’s chocolate for me as well! i avoid it too much to admit that i eat it! if that makes any sense lol :)
Thanks for fessin’ up, Andy. :) That made perfect sense to me about chocolate — it’s one of those “I’d eat it all the time” foods (if I could.)
~ Kim
Hmm…it’s probably something I eat when I go out and let myself indulge. For example, a few weeks ago I got a bacon wrapped hot dog topped with guacamole, chipotle mayo, tomatoes, jalapenos and onions…and loved every bite.
I tend to crave fatty greasy things (chips, pizza, hot dogs, etc.) – I’m actually not a huge sweets person.
Thank you for introducing me to the wonders of your hotdog combo — now that’s a “junkyard dawg!”
I’m also glad you said you loved every bite — that’s what it’s all about!
~ Kim
You’re such a discipline person, Kim! On the contrary, I’m such a sinful person.
When no one’s watching me, I’d snack all day, whack ice-creams, gobble up deep-fried chicken wings etc etc. So eating Froot Loops is still not that bad. Hope that’s a consolation. LOL!
Made me smile, Shirley — I’m not nearly as disciplined as you imagine… Thanks for the consolation, though! I’m right there with ya on the wings and ice cream. :)

I am writing about healthy eating on my blog. I never thought about writing about “sneaking” food. Mind if I use your idea? (Just the idea, writing will be totally different.) I like the picture idea. (You can keep this one confidential if you want so I don’t advertise myself on your blog.)
Catherine, you most definitely may use the idea. Looking forward to reading your take on it! And it’s my pleasure to advertise your blog: http://www.catherinehackman.com/ :)
Thank you, Kimby!
My pleasure, Catherine! Congrats again on your first published article on All Things Girl. That forum is near & dear to my heart!
