I had this the other day. I planned to get a mama burger with cheese at A&W because they’re my *favourite* (A&W in Canada is AMAZING – best burgers of the fast food burgers).
I ordered at the drive through, got my burger, and drove off. I’m 10 minutes down the highway and I bite into my burger… they gave me a Marsala burger, not a mama burger. So I have a spicy vegetarian patty with Indian-style flavours instead of my juicy beef burger.
I mean, it wasn’t *awful* but the double take my tastebuds made when I was expecting something else didn’t make it enjoyable.
It was my first treat meal in a while and I may have cried to my husband about it when I got home.

Dude. Relate. I hiked 8 miles so I could order Carbon Fire’s “salad” bowl. It was…tasty but idk how much oil they used bc it made me feel sick for 2 days AND I gained water weight from it. Big penguin mad.

This is me in Vegas this week. I’ve decided not to count and splurge for the few days and the food has not been worth the calories. It’s so frustrating because three of my favorite restaurants have just been bleh and triple the price

I got so frustrated with this once that when the craving hit to go again, the rage over how I unsatisfied I was the last time totally broke the craving. So when this happens now, I try to really let myself experience the frustration so I can use it for willpower to say no next time. Idk if that’s crazy or not but it works 🤷🏼♀️

OMG! Yes! I thought it was only me who had that experience. I’m sorry for your disappointment, but happy you have one less temptation to fight.

I find myself craving smaller things like a 2 or 3 cheese grilled sandwich, buttered pasta, or garlic bread, cause I know those will be always satisfying and never disappointing

I did this with Red Lobster this week. The chicken breast over spaghetti squash I made the next night at home was so much more enjoyable.
