I'm Trying to Lose Weight and Now I Hate These 11 Things

Barbecues, holidays, graduation parties — their sole purpose is to offer obscene amounts of delicious food. Oh, and to eat it and wash it down with alcoholic beverages. And then, of course, to eat more until you explode.

Seeing all that produce and healthy foods in my cart just reminds me how much I want cake. And the free samples? Come on!

Bathing. Suit. Shopping. Need I say more?

Oh, just an ice water and side salad for me. F* that. How can I not order margaritas with nachos?

Walking by their open doors; the aromas of freshly baked, still-warm rolls; and sweet, flaky pastries call to me. Think these are Paleo? I'm gonna go with yes.

These places don't just sell food; they sell the most ridiculously decadent foods you never even knew you wanted to eat — and many deep-fried, smothered in cheese or chocolate, and served on a stick.

Hi, you don't mind if I just sit down right here and eat that, do you? Thanks.

The rustling of potato-chip bags, popcorn popping, beer-bottle tops and cans of soda opening, people crunching, sipping, or slurping — it's hard to not want all of these things after hearing those familiar sounds.

Hmm, homegrown kale or homemade sugar-coated doughnuts?

How can I immerse myself in the culture without eating everything I see?

Ice cream cones, beer, barbecues, bathing suits. Awesome. Just awesome.
