Just curious if there are nurses also eat strange/unusual/potentially unhealthy diets on a regular basis?
For example, here is me:
On days off of work, my diet primarily consists of popcorn, candy, ice cream and pop. Pop consumption typically consists of 1-2 Diet Sunkist, 1-2 Diet Root Beer and 1-2 Diet Pepsi. Sometimes I'll eat three bowls of popcorn or one large bag in one day. Every once in a while, I'll include some grape tomatoes, canteloupe or slices of cheddar cheese on the side, but as a whole, my diet mainly consists of treats.
At work, I typically don't have access to loads of popcorn, but my diet is still unusual. My pop consumption alone is enough to shock anyone: I've been known to drink as many as 15 (yes...fifteen) Diet Pepsis in one day, along with a Diet Sunkist or 2. I typically don't take lunch breaks but have a tendency to snack on Lay's Potato Chips, Fritos, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I usually have nothing of nutritious value at all, and end up leaving work with my resting heart rate ranging from 130s-150s and presumably (I haven't actually checked) high blood sugars.
Anyone else engage in strange, unusual diet habits, either at home or at work?
