The WORST Beauty Pageant Diet I Ate - Don't Be Like Me
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- Here are some of the foods I ate back in my pageant days, and let me just say up front ...this is NOT intended to be diet advice. These foods are NOT balanced but 18 year old me had no dietary direction, so today we're just going to taste test some of these foods and see if they actually taste good to me over 15 years later. I competed in both the Miss USA pageant system and the Miss America pageant system, and while I am NOT a pageant girl at heart, I did learn a lot in the process.

*watches Erin's crown slowly try to creep off of her head*
Heavy is the head that wears the crown, or heavy is the crown that sits on her head or something like that 😂
Please do a video roasting your own and others questionable fashion choices from the early 2000s. 18 year old you sounds adorable.
This is a good idea! I feel like I should shoot this with my best friend from back home. She and I wore the MOST questionable choices
"It tastes like a memory I wanna forget." I'M CRYING 🤣🤣🤣
I am FULLY going to be using that every time I taste something not good.
Food carries memory. I will die on that hill
Special K was the first “diet” cereal that entered our house when I was a kid and was probably consumed just as fast 😂😂 Also, I agree, honey mustard is probably one of the best flavors out there.
Have you seen my honey mustard taste test video yet??
@@ErinRobinson Sure have!! I think Ken’s is still my favorite. And that’s usually the brand restaurants will use for dressings unless homemade of course 😊
@@ErinRobinson hey i was a contestant for the miss ca pageant the same year as you i always wanted to say hi but never did
I am not suprised you did well in pageants, you are so pretty and seem so sweet!
Thank you Andrea 🥹
Erin, do a story time about the music album you made! Oh and yes, this was my diet too. So early 00's girl vibe lol
Oh.........you just unlocked a memory Elly!!! I feel like I need to do a LOT of story times. I've got a ton!
Loved the pop ups Don’t be like me … we have all made odd or not great food choices. The spoon full of peanut butter is a good one though has a calming affect ! Have a beautiful day !!🌻
Yes, I still make bad food choices BUT at least they're more DELICIOUS bad food choices these days lol
I am WITH you on eating one thing over and over again until I'm tired of it. 😂 If I really love something now, I try to force myself not to eat it every day, for every meal, because I want to keep liking it. Also, Special K is like the only cereal I eat anymore. But I eat it with cashew milk or greek yogurt (but only sparingly, 'cause I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to dairy).
That dairy struggle is real for so many people! I obsessively eat cheeseburgers (its one of my toxic traits) and I am so scared one day I will hate them.
@@ErinRobinson I can't never let cheese go. 😩😩😩
My dad drank a 24 pack of diet coke EVERY DAY, for at least 10 years of my life. He ended up developing dementia and doctors think the diet cokes aided in that 😔
Oh no!! This is so heartbreaking. I am so so sorry to read this. It's really devastating to know that more people aren't talking about the effects of it on our loved ones. I always try and remind friends/family to steer clear of it.
This video was very entertaining to watch. How did you get involved with beauty pageants? I’m glad you stepped away from that field.
My friend dared me while I was eating ice cream one day because she did them, and I was a singer and she thought I would be able to nail the talent portion. I wore all of her clothes and she taught me how to "walk" and I won the first pageant I did but it was all because of her.
Happy Monday Erin I love you ❤️ hope you are well xoxo 😘 💜🤎💗💗❤️🩹💜✨🌈💙❤️❤️❤️💙🌈💕✨🧡🖤🖤✨💔💜❤️🩹💗💗🤎💔❤️🔥💖💓❤️🩹🤎🧡✨🌈🌈💙❤️❤️💛🌈🌈💕🌈🖤❣️🧡❤️🩹💗💜❤️🔥💓💓
I also drain the milk off my cereal because dairy and I do not get along 😂 but I can't stand almond or coconut milk
THIS! Alt milks are fine for me in coffee's but I can't do them in cereal. So, draining it is!
Definitely loved the strawberry cereal growing up, would it eat it now..... probably not. lolol
same
20 year old me definitely ate Kellogg’s corn flakes for breakfast everyday and a turkey sandwich for lunch 😂 I wasn’t a pageant girl just didn’t like to cook!
We would have been friends. I wasn't what you would think of as a "pageant" girl either
I’ll buy your Tesla. Also respect for replying to every comment! 💯
I will let you know if I consider selling it!!!! It's just SUCH a hassle to sell/try and find something new. So, once I am done with some house renovation projects I will revisit it!
So proud of you Erin you made the right choice for leaving the Pageant world xoxo 😘 ❤️💗💓💜🤎🌈🌈💙💙💛🌈💕🌈✨❣️❣️💓💓💜❤️❤️🔥❤️🔥💔❤️🤎🤎💕🌈❤️🩹💛❣️❣️💓💓💗❤️❤️💖❤️🔥🖤💔💖💖❤️💜💗💙💛❤️🩹🌈💕💕❤️🩹💛💛
This was such an unexpected and rare surprise!! What a treat to get a bonus video from our queen!! So here for it!! Informative information! Also good to see the pterodactyl joined us in there towards the end haha I was wondering where she was 🤣🥺😁🙌👋😇😂💔😘😍
I am full of surprises!! lol I actually shot this two years ago, so it was just time for it to finally see the light of day!
I think I've been watching too much hart of Dixie I can't help but hear Erin's voice sound so much like Anabeth's
I've never seen this show, but I feel like I have gotten this same comment so many times!! lol
Such a fun vid! I remember when I went on a diet back in University and started my mornings with Special K cereal too. I also loved getting tuna sandwiches from Subway.
Hi Erin, love ya!🤍
I grew up with Rice Crispies and cheerios, so when I got the chance to pick out my own cereal, it was either honey comb or capt crunch.
And yes! Diet soda can cause memory issues! My mom suffered from wood alcohol poisoning within a year after being diagnosed as diabetic. Because sodas are never kept in a climate controlled area from being canned/bottled to the grocery store, the artificial sweeteners can create a by product called Wood Alcohol. Too much of that and your body can't process it. Symptoms can vary from migraines, GI issues, to severe memory loss. It took a few years for my mom to recover, but the memory never went back to her baseline. Between that, and multiple concussions in her life, my mom now has dementia and Alzheimers.
I was also a Cap crunch girlie, but also this is so terrible to hear about your mom. I didn't know it was because of this wood alcohol thing. This is the first time I've ever heard of this
The Honey Combs were something I loved to eat for breakfast as a kid when I flew to visit my Grandma across the country. My Parents wouldn't let me eat that.
It brings me back to saturday mornings at my dad's house. It was one of my favorites as a kid but not something my mom would allow at her house.
@@bella-mccord Have you had them recently? I feel like they taste different!
@@ErinRobinson I don't think it's as good as it was when i was younger! I still enjoy it but i think it was better (and maybe bigger?) when i was younger
I cracked up when you said that the Atkins bar tasted like Lowe's. I've worked there for many years & occasionally my husband will tell me I smell like Lowe's 😂
bwahahaha...I know that smell!!!!!!!
Aspertame can also cause a chronic dry cough in some people as well. My MIL was addicted to Diet Dr Pepper and coughed CONSTANTLY. And she had like a high pitched, sounded like a squeaky toy was caught in her throat kind of cough. Did some research, stopped drinking diet sodas and it completely went away.
Woahhh!!!! I have never heard of this!!!!!! That stuff is a no-go for me
I got a Subway commercial during this and if that isn’t them thanking you for your loyalty I don’t know what it is 😂😆
The algorithm knows WAY TOO MUCH!!
Had bad eating habits as a teen in high school too BUT I did work out EVERY DAY! Lol My bffl and I would work out then eat mac’n cheese made with mayo subbed for the milk! Or pizza! Yikes 🤪
MAYO subbed for the milk?! What? How? Talk to me about the texture.
@@promisedjubileedaniels it was creamy! Lol
That is horrible diet I would never do that ever omg ❤️🩹🌈💙🌈✨❤️🩹💕💙💙🌈❤️🩹✨❤️🩹🌈❤️💗💗💛🤎🧡🧡💓💓💖💜🧡🤎❣️💛❤️🩹🌈💕💙💙💕❤️🩹✨💛💛❣️
It’s always a joy to watch your videos especially when I have to binge a few to catch up. I think we might need to revisit your pageant days in a new video one day. Kind of a deep dive on your career under the crown. Have a fabulous day Erin 😃
I actually have my original wardrobe. I feel like I should try it all on for a video!
Atkins caramel latte protein shake is my favorite! I mix it with some blonde roast iced coffee from Starbucks!
Okay, that sounds kind of delicious
Let me tell you, you are HILARIOUS! You should take that act on the road!😂😂😂🤣🤣❤️
TH-cam IS the road and we're HERE doing the show!
@@ErinRobinson That's true! But you make me laugh so hard, and I needed to laugh. Thank you! ❤️
Me with Luna bars and slim fast shakes. So glad I'm not doing that lol
Oh, I FORGOT ABOUT SLIM FAST SHAKES!!!! I definitely had those too
I give those honey combs to my dogs as treats 😂😂
Ha!!!!! That is actually a cute idea
I like you drank a ton of Diet Coke and diet pop at that age but now and for a great many years it’s become water. I do still eat peanut butter off the spoon though. I love it that way.
Peanut Butter on a spoon is SO underrated!
This is why I don’t drink diet soda I hate Diet Coke lol 😂 I make the same face while drinking it it’s disgusting 🤮
I can't believe I use to drink it by the truck load
Me living off of lettuce and tomato sandwiches, special K, gallons of Diet Coke and Atkins bars watching this like 👁👄👁 lol
Don't do the diet code!!!! Everything else, has a time and a place!!!
@@ErinRobinson ❤️🤣 I’ll work on cutting back!
Spoon fulls of peanut butter love😍😍😍
The rest I could leave.
Same! Except my special K of course
“It could have given me worms or whatever...” was literally 99% of my diet in college. #questionable
and my childhood too. I don't know how I am still here
Clown planet can't figure if my processing is off
There’s no other honey mustard outside of Ken’s!!😄💗
You're preaching to the choir, friend!
Erin, I do the same thing with my cereal and I also have a thing about the bottom of the wet milk spoon touching my tongue. So I drain and then there's like a twist and a flip as I eat it. So weird!
A lot of what you had here was stuff I was also eating in the mid 00s doing low carb. When I was in grad school, I went down a rabbit hole of fad diets and lost 175 lbs in a really really unhealthy way, like eat just 600 calories a day and do over 2 hours of cardio a day-unhealthy. Those Atkins products were the only game in town at the time and I think they've changed a couple of times since then lol. I used to do a turkey sandwich too - super thin bread, "honey" mustard I made with Splenda and mustard and a huge (8-10 oz) stack of turkey. I'll never go back to that! But you live and learn.
Omg Special K red berries was LIFE when I was younger.
a spoon full of peanut butter is one of my favorite quick pick me ups 😊
Matt eats at least one spoonful of it a day around here lol
Same! And I got my daughter who does the same thing as me now lol. I love PB.
Omg the subway thing resonates hahah. I literally can’t eat there anymore. But I will grab a pub sub now and then!
Special K Chocolatey Delight is an icon. I highly suggest it. And this isn’t entirely that bad.
Eating subway always transports me back to high school!! I don’t eat there anymore 😂
Yes! that was one of my hangout spots in high school too! lol
Did you come 3rd or 4th (3rd runner up) in Miss North Carolina? I only ask because it sounded like you said 3rd runner up, which would be 4th place (right..?)
3rd RU!
I love honey combs. I’ve literally been trying to find them and I can’t 🤣🤣
Wait, are you in the US??
@@ErinRobinson yep. Kentucky.
@@keyonaviolet I feel like Honey Combs would be all over the place in Kentucky!
I think your beauty shines much brighter now then when you were a pageant girl. Love your hair colour as well. . Reminds me of in 2011 when i had to drink a crap load of protein drinks. Even the smell of them makes me wanna hurl now. Although i can still handle the premier protein shakes. But thats it!
Isn't it funny how we can over do it on something like protein shakes! I seem to never overload on ice cream. Seems weird lol
I was drawn in by a concrete floor video recommended on my feed, watched it, though “hmmm interesting,” followed the rabbit hole to your page for more reno content, got completely side tracked by this totally unrelated video and 3 mins in I’m subbed, you are hilarious!
Bec!!!!!! Thank you for being here!!!! I have lots of "variety" going on but there will also be more reno to come!
Oh, the special k cereal. That was also my 20s 🤦🏼♀️.. for modeling reasons 🤦🏼♀️
I say sherbeRt! And when I painted my house a few years ago, I have 2 accent walls in the kitchen that a family member was calling "sherbet" and I thought it was so wrong, I have never paid attention to the spelling until this video! Whoopsie 😅
I refuse to change it now. It's been sherbert for too long. Sorry to the sherbet lovers out there
My 18 year old self didn’t know I could get food stamps in college. So my 18 year old self was living off turkeys sandwich with quaker (ranch) rice cake chip. Some days it was dry lemon pepper chicken. For breakfast I had blueberry bagels the culinary students would make or I would eat special k almond (generic brand) 😂 I had no freshman 15. There was no meal plans at the Art Institute.
Woah, I didn't know this either! Why isn't this common knowledge?!?
OMG Erin I used to mispronounce aspartame too and exactly like you said it... I wonder if it's a southern thing? People were so confused as to what I was saying so I was like "you know the fake sugar in Equal"... My friends proceeded to crack up laughing and told me how it's really said.
It's one of those things that I got wrong, then corrected myself at some point, and then never said it again for like 10 years and I can't remember my own correction lol
Haha!! You must have thought twice before making this particular video 😂😂
It wasn't my most delicious video of all time TBH
I can't with you. The crooked crown and you going down memory lane. I love this soo much.
Miss Malibu? More like Miss Messy
I eat my cereal with a fork 🤤
Actually, this is HACK status!
I'm soo with you on this... when I love, it, I love it. Then, I don't 😅 Omg, that massive spoon of peanut butter... I'd be over it before I finished, and for a long time after 🤮 As always, another fun video Erin! 👏🏻👏🏻
I would just sit down and watch a show and eat it VERY slowly...I'd do this instead of eating a can of Pringle's! Which were very tempting to me back then
Aspartame is also a seizure/migraine trigger for people with neurologic disorders especially epilepsy.
Someone else commented this too! I had no idea!
The way that crown went crazy on your head.. the crown is this emoji👉🏼 🤪
That emoji needs a crown after the day it's had, TBH
I still eat the cereal and leave the milk!
CW: Keto diet, weight loss
Disclaimer -(I did this under an actual doctor and was having monthly blood work done.). I was always trying to drop weight and fix my stomach problems at the start of Quarantine. I have SIBO and Lupus. I actually went Keto for two weeks and was incredibly ill for a couple weeks. Definitely not for everyone and diets that tell you no fruit are plain dumb. I think my blood sugar kept dropping out and I found out that fats on their own make me ill (try eating dry salad 😲).
Anyways Special K was one of the few cereals I was allowed as a kid and the bars are pretty good when you're on the run. I try to eat like a normal person and my dietician keeps trying to get me to eat more food and more often. I've actually dropped some weight and kept it off. I spend 20 mins on a bike 5 days a week and do bed yoga because my lower back sucks so I can't do regular yoga.
The autoimmune journey is tough!! I am so sorry it's been hard. This makes me want to get a dietician because everyone is SO different and there's not right "diet" for every single person.
Not gonna lie, now I want that honey mustard and turkey sandwich... 😫🤤
It's actually pretty tasty!!!!!
the spoonful of peabut butter for protein is something my mom made me do too lol. I was such a picky eater as a kid and often just had plain pasta or buttered noodles. For "protein", she would tell me to have a spoonful of peanut butter with it. Not bad but it's really not as protein-packed as i used to think it was
Yeah, for sure! Especially the "spread" peanut butters. Not as nutritional!
"tastes like lowe's" lol
I do love lowes, but not for snacks!
New video idea- tasting/ranking all the honey mustard brands!
Did it!! th-cam.com/video/rZTo4R_Ct2I/w-d-xo.html
I used to be like you and drink so much diet soda everyday. I quit drinking it and I noticed my body - especially my feet didn't hurt like usual. I missed drinking it and started again. Pains came back. That was it. Never touched it again. It's been 5 years. Only drink black coffee or sparkling water now. Stop drinking diet soda people 🚫❤️🥤
This! LISTEN TO GAIL EVERYONE!!
@@ErinRobinson thank you. 🥰
what exactly is the appeal of pageants? just to be told you're the prettiest?
Actually, they're pretty useful...this is coming from someone who doesn't really like pageants, TBH. Typically, your highest scores are for talent and interview. I worked with all of these internationally known interview specialists and after preparing for a "pageant" I was pretty much able to confidently walk into a room with anyone and totally talk with confidence to anyone about anything. I've never NOT gotten a job after I've had an interview, and I do attribute that to my time in pageants. It's also fun to have another stage to perform on when you're a singer (and I was). So, I can totally understand from an outsider's perspective what you're saying but once you're IN it there is a lot you gain. It's not for everyone though.
Frosted shrudded wheat was the cereal that I would eat for breakfast and convinced myself when I was 18 and 19 that it was healthy.
I still try and convince myself of that nowadays! 🤣
The tilted crown... 👑🤣🥰. Was cracking me up. Your humor at pageants must have been hilarious! 😳. I'm sure u have great stories from back then. 😁
I have SO many stories from back then. I feel like I should do a story time video
@@ErinRobinson ... Oh yes, that would be awesome! I bet the stories are wild 😜
Special k red berries is still good. I'm the opposite of you I would just eat the berries lol
I kind of actually love this about you!
@@ErinRobinson dehydrated fruit is good for you 👍🏻
You are stunning
Thank you so much!
Considering that you ate anything at all during your pageant days is a win for me.
Well, I definitely had a time when I wasn't eating enough, but weirdly that wasn't when I was doing pageants. It was when I was a freshman in college.
Forever a queen! Beauty pageants or not! ❤️ Also…the Special K with the like berry yogurt clusters….SO good. Sounds gross…but tastes great. Tastes even better mixed with the Red Berry one. You have to try the combo. Lol
Wait, what are berry yogurt clusters???
@@ErinRobinson it’s the Special K “berry & yogurt” is like its official name I think.
It has these berry flavored yogurt covered kind of granola clusters almost. So good.
Honeycomb was one of my favorites as a kid
and wild berry pop tarts
Oh, I still need to try all of the pop tart flavors!
Dairy also fucks up my sinuses, ik that's not the same as phlegmy, but similar enough
I switched to using a tasty oat milk for my cereal needs and it helped significantly
Might help you as well
I have tried some alt milks in my cereal before and they just don't do it for me. I feel like I should try some newer options to see if they can change my mind!
Yes! They've come a long way
Oat is my number one, but not all brands are equal
Oatly is the brand I drink over here in Germany and I know that's available in the states
Planet oat extra creamy is good. Maybe you could turn it into a video, get the best options and see which you like the most.
And it really is going to be a compromise, I like the taste of cows milk, so having to give that up not the greatest. Find an oat milk you like the mouthfeel of and the flavor doesn't offend you(at minimum). It may not be instant love, but you'll grow to accept it as normal
Aspartame is a big trigger for seizures for my sister
Oh really?? I've never heard this before
Now I want cookie dough-LOL :)
Same. I actually shot this video....wait for it....2 YEARS AGO and current me is so jealous of past me
Hi Erin love your videos
The shake get really cold and not bad.
I was SHOCKED at how good it tastes
Love! Try coke zero I love that a whole lot better 🙂 anything zero taste better than diet. The diet Coke at McDonald's is absolutely the worst but the diet Dr pepper is so much better. Besitos 😚
It's the fake sugars that are in the alternative drinks that aren't so good for your brain! I'd rather just have the real sugar in moderation!
@@ErinRobinson so true I get it... I would much rather have the real deal but I'm diabetic so the real deal would kill me. I love coke especially the Mexican coke out of the glass bottle. Mmmmmmm! 😂 When I was little and we used to go to Mexico for our Vaca it was the best! It was even more special when it came out of my Tia's little store.. I would have a blast helping her in the store going to the next town to get her provision to fill up her. When we were done I the blast of riding in the back laying on top of the red onions lol. I would have red marks all over me. I truly miss those days... I miss my youth #imissnotbeinginpain! Sorry for the rambling you triggered a memory from a very long time. Girl! I feel s freaking old! Especially now with this dang r.a. my body hates me.. oops! I did it again. Lol love you besitos 😚
@@bjuana13 I love alllll the rambles! I love how food just takes you back! There is nothing better than a Mexican coke!!!
@@ErinRobinson 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤪❤️❤️I could probably talk your head off! It's weird how food can do that it's you to a whole new place.. lol .. your awesome 😎
Seeing how people used to diet for beauty pageants makes me fully realize why alot of them have ED
To be fair, I just had no real knowledge of nutrition. I did end up having disordered eating in college but it wasn't because of pageants, interestingly.
@@ErinRobinson that is interesting
Video idea: Rank the best cereal
I have had this idea once before. I have to figure out how to handle the phlegm lol!
Mary! We have GOT to have a chat!!!! Just let yourself have regular coke but just in moderation!
I still eat a spoonful of peanut butter every once in a while. I like to add a couple of semi sweet chocolate chips to it though.
Ohhh, I like this twist! Matt adds honey to his spoon!
Only thing on your list I’ve tried is honey mustard 😂
no bananas or cuties?!?!?!
@@ErinRobinson unfortunately I’m allergic
Aspartame causes memory problems? I stopped drinking diet Pepsi because I heard aspartame is also cancer causing! eek
Yeah, I think it's pretty gnarly for a lot of different reasons
Omg honeycombs were my fav as a kid
SAME! What happened to us?!?!
@@ErinRobinson the difference is that I personally still live them 😅
I do almond milk
I feel like almond milk tastes too...watery for me!
U r the queen 👑
The actual Queen is somewhere fuming! lol
Love the crown! #roadto300k
Thanks Shelly!!!! She's broken but still shining!
@@ErinRobinson yes ma'am! I have been a hugeeee fan of yours for such a long time! Love ya!
I miss the aughts
huh?
@@ErinRobinson aughts. Means 2000’s ! 🙂
I feel like you transported me back to 21/22 year old heather. 🤦🏻♀️
I love this!! Glad I was not alone living this food life!
My 18 year old pageant self thinks your foods look very similar to mine. Sans the cereal & milk as I still don’t like that. I ate the EXACT SAME THING at Subway. But my home cooking was minute rice & “Chicken by George” lemon pepper or teriyaki. God forbid I make my own chicken..Nope I spent that extra money to eat the singularly boxed Chicken By George. Oh to be young again. Never mind I’m okay being old! 🤍👑😘
Wait, BOXED CHICKEN@?@?
I wish you still looked like you did then
I don't.
I do the same with Nutella on a spoon lol, well until I saw how much sugar is in it 😂
Yeah, that's definitely a treat!
I don’t see anything wrong with your past choices. You ate healthy and balanced. Baked doesn’t have any health benefit other than less trans fat it’s still the exact same chip. You ate sugar, fruits, veggies, complex carbs, simple carbs, protein like I don’t see the issue
I feel like I didn't have quite enough greens and healthy fats! I just feel like I didn't have enough variety!
Lingering hidden away change your selection
huh?
Middle of a war again
