"I've never regretted NOT eating something."

I regret quantity, not food or the act of eating. Had a 400+ calorie piece of pie this weekend with thanksgiving dinner, and would do it again. And why not? I only had the one piece, I stayed in a reasonable calorie window, and I worked my *kitten* off all weekend. Catchphrases like "I never regretted something I didn't eat," and "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels," are empty platitudes imo. Life's too short to not eat cheese or pie (or whatever your guilty pleasure happens to be). Just eat smaller portions or share with a friend.

I will never forget the giant prawn thing with the blue claws I was offered by a man selling seafood on the shore of a Kerala backwater, which would have been cooked by the amazing chef on the houseboat we were staying on. I was too scared of food poisoning (it was already dead, though clearly fresh) and declined. I have regretted it ever since, and I always will.

Food is more than calories.

I regret not eating gelato while in Europe. I regret not eating cake on my birthday. Those extra calories wouldn't have been detrimental to my diet and fitness routine, nor would they have set me back an extreme amount.

Although I understand where this quote is coming from for the most part, I'm a firm believer in letting you live your life and not eliminating treats 100% of the time. Part of being healthy is having a healthy mindset and enjoying life. It isn't as fun if you don't get to spoil yourself every so often.

I have definitely regretted not eating things, particularly when I traveled somewhere that is known for that food.

The only thing since losing weight and changing my diet is my little boy's birthday cake hot for the taste but the memories and it was special to him.

Yes, I can totally relate to regretting not ordering something, which generally occurs after tasting my OH's food and realizing it is better than what I ordered.
