Starbucks

my vice.
i know so many of the drinks are super high fat/calorie, not to mention stupidly overpriced.. yet i cant get enough of it! i have one pretty much everyday, or at least four or five times a week..
yuck, i know.

i do try to get the drinks to be somewhat healthy (non-fat, no whip, etc) but wouldnt it be lovely to be able to simply eliminate something that is so obviously contributing to my grotesque fat belly. but no matter how hard i try i always end up going back.. BUT as with food, this calls for extreme willpower. i am better than starbucks, i dont need it. from now on i will limit myself to one a week.

do any of you have vices like this?
and what are your favourite "healthy" starbucks treats?

work was nice and long today... super busy, so no time to eat even if i wanted to! had about three coffees with one packet of 2 cal sweetener in each, and a whole load of water with lemons. so along with the english muffin i had for breakfast, today i will have consumed... somewhere around 200-250 cals?

not bad for a restriction day =)

i plan to start my fast tomorrow. water and coffee only, until wednesday! wish me luck!

  1. the best thing to get at starbucks is a tall skinny vanilla latte.. 90 calories.

    there is also this vanilla rubios tea latte.. or something like that, and I am positive it has less cals... but it is just not as good!

  2. yeah the tall skinny cinnamon dolce latte is also only 90 cals.. and a venti is only 160 cals! i do find that the taste is somewhat sacrificed though unfortunately lol but i guess thats the price to pay

  3. If I go to Starbucks I'll get a venti skinny latte :)
    Coffee also curbs my hunger, so I don't mind having a few extra kcals in it!
    I don't intend to eat til wednesday either, so we'll see how that goes! Let me know how you get on!
    Stay strong honey, you can do it!

  4. Hey, I'm Emma!

    The other day I ordered a Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte, it was good, and only 90 calories. Also, I never get whipped cream!!!

    Sounds like you're doing a great job! :)

  5. I honestly go for fat, not carbs or sugar. I feel so full and am able to easily (and painlessly) keep my calories down.
    Sort of like extreme Atkins.
    I go for sugar free iced caramel macchiato with heavy cream and splenda.
    When I do not binge, I can lose 3lbs a week easily.

    BTW... LOOOVE the reverse thinspo.

    So often I see an obese arm reaching out of the car in a McD's drive through, ewww.
    It is motivating in a sick way.
