Same.  I got a bag of caramel popcorn today and I really regretted not getting butter instead.  The "small" bag of caramel popcorn is 1200 calories.  That means no dinner, etc. for the rest of the day and you feel like shit from the sugar. For that matter, you can lose weight eating nothing but the McDonald's menu as long as you're eating a calorie deficit.   That's what fats don't get.  Use moderation or use budgeting.  You aren't supposed to "do a line" of Oreos--if you want to do that, do that, but don't then proceed to eat full-size dinners.  If you have pregnancy cravings, eat what you want, but budget the rest of your meals appropriately and don't reward yourself with ice cream for eating vegetables. Fats think in terms of complex bullshit food pyramids and halo effects, not in terms of math.  They think that (according to the CPSham) grocery-store chicken nuggets are magically healthier than McDonald's because they're "home-cooked" and McDonald's is magically bad.  That it's okay to eat lots of calories in the form of Clif Bars and Wheat Thins and cheese sticks because they're "healthy snacks." For example, the Good2Grow ads.  You're just giving your kids calories and vitamin C, which you could also get from Tampico fruit punch (for less sugar than fruit juice), but because it's "fruit juice" and "natural" and less hedonic pleasure than fruit punch it clearly must be healthy!  Forget what dentists said about bacteria feeding on sugar and harming your teeth, it's those darn artificial sweeteners that are bad for you!  Remember that Daily Mail article that said aspartame gives you--excuse me, "is linked to"--cancer?
