As a gym girl who's lost 30 pounds, here are 5 foods that I will never buy again because I will eat the whole bag. First and foremost, Purely Elizabeth granola, specifically the vanilla chocolate chip kind. I used to eat the whole bag. And I'm not saying it's unhealthy for you. I'm saying that if you put the bag in front of me, I will probably eat all of it. I would literally just sit there and eat that and then I'd leave like the rest of the oats at the bottom and then I go buy another bag. Just so I could eat the chunks. Number two, microwaveable popcorn, especially the movie theater kind. I would make a bag after school, eat the whole bag, probably make another one later that night. I loved the microwaveable popcorn. I would not share it with you. I would eat the whole bag to myself. Popcorn in general is very dangerous for me. I still eat the lesser evil popcorn, but I portion it out in a bowl so that I don't eat the whole bag. Okay. Number three is Cheez-Its. Extra toasty, white cheddar, cheesy jack, any of those flavors. I would eat the whole box of it. I could not stop myself. I would just keep reaching, keep reaching, and I would eat so much of it. It probably spiraled into unhealthy habits again. Number four is Trader Joe's buffalo chicken dip. Again, I'd eat the whole tub. It was really good. I would get chips and just scoop it and scoop it and scoop it. And I was like, oh, it's healthy. It's chicken dip. Not if you eat the whole container. I like three or four at a time and they'd be gone within the week. It was not very good. Number five is Jif peanut butter. I used to eat it by the spoonful. I would literally just take a spoon and eat it. And I'm like, this is so healthy. It's peanut butter. There can't be anything bad about it. I would take a banana and take a spoonful and just keep taking a bite, spoonful on the banana, take a bite, spoonful on the banana, take a bite. And then I'd probably eat more peanut butter after. Like it was just, I can't even fathom how much I used to eat. It's probably really bad, but those are definitely a top five. They'd make me spiral if I ate those again.
