  1. K, I don't drink alcohol, so does this mean I can eat any of that food if I drink water (which I love) alongside it? :)

  2. My favorite is Long Island...but who's counting those cal?

    But it's nice to know...or not...hm, let me think again...;)

  3. Hmmm, bummer. I think I will pass on the Cheesecake Factory steak! I'll sign on gmail soon. V's little brother stole my adapter to play X-box (and my computer battery is shot), so I'm quickly using his computer to do important things, like check your blog :)

  4. I like my calories in liquid form. And summer drinks are so yoummy...and so bad for you...and so yummmyyy.

    This post just made me want a pina colada...I don't think that's what you planned. Now I have that song in my head...If you like pina colada's...and getting caught in the rain.

    My psycho/smart friend Jess is getting me hooked on Vodka and waters. I thought ohh my bestie will be so proud of me! haha.

  10. I am starving what are you trying to do to me lol. Now I want a long island iced tea to wash down my pizza hut and taco bell.

    I love fancy drinks and if you make them yourself you can find sneaky ways to cut the calories.

  15. Why does all the GOOD stuff have to be BAD for you?? Not fair. **pouting**

    ReplyDelete
  16. Wow, those drinks have some serious calories! I suppose people tend to overlook the caloric content of alcohol because it's a liquid.

    ReplyDelete
  17. WOW. thank goodness I rarely drink (: But I sure am guilty of eating one too many burgers! (: IGNORANCE IS BLISS. but now that you've burst my HUGE ignoramus bubble.....I might have to think twice before I tuck in next time! HAHA (: But I know you do this for my own good. <3 you!

    ReplyDelete
  20. uhm...wow! I will be getting a skinny bitch margarita from now on! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yeah, I know that those drinks have tons of calories, so I don't drink them. Honestly, I don't consume calories from drinks. I like food WAY better!
    I'm the wrong person to talk to about cutting back though! I'm BLOWING UP.

    ReplyDelete
  22. unbelievable.....i had no idea drinks were more harmful than a cheese burger!

    ReplyDelete

  29. Have you seen the Paula Dean episode where she makes a Luther Burger (in which she uses krispy kreme donuts instead of a regular bun)?? I wonder how many calories that thing has!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh no!!! I didn't know drinks had so much calories! Grrr...might as well just go for the burger. lols

    ReplyDelete
  31. Ok, so now I am hungry and ready for a drink. Yikes, that was a lot of calories...very depressing!!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. i would take the drinks over any of that food! :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. horribleeee!! lol, i hate drinking calories!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. i guess i'll just have to stick to my margaritas! is it bad that even with these calories, i'm still now craving greasy food? i'm hopeless.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I'll take one of each! Ha!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Good to know! I don't count calories in my drinks, I probably should though. I always make sure they mix with diet soda instead of the real deal though - that helps a bit! :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Ahh ... I love Pina Colada's, no matter what the calorie intake might be! I know it's important to watch how many calories you've had in a day, but I've never been one to obsess over it. I love water though -- 0 calories!

    ReplyDelete
  38. i'll take one of those mudslides and a big mac! ha! of course not at the same time, that would be one icky combo! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  39. yuck! looking at the food along with the calories was a turn off for me! ;) lol! i'm not big on eating out...i love to cook, and prefer to eat light dishes with regular tea & lemon or water and then splurge on dessert...;) good thing you didn't show pics of desserts and their calories! then you would've ruined my day! lol!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Buzz kill. Ah ha ha. Know of any "skinny" pina colada options? I do so love getting caught in the rain.

    ReplyDelete
  41. scary! you have to try to stay away from those foods, like the plague!

    ReplyDelete
  42. why good things are always bad for our body and health?!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I'm just going to pretend like I didn't read this & continue sipping my margarita & waiting for July to be over so I can get some Taco Bell! (we have a pact not to eat out for the whole month, so I am hoping July flies by)

    ReplyDelete
  44. I don't know what this post was suppose to do to me but I now want to get drunk and eat greasy food! :)

    ReplyDelete
