    I've been rationing out the treats that two of my lunch guests brought me on Saturday. One brought a bag of 'fancy' red licorice (If we define 'fancy' as 4" pieces with narrow spiraling ridges that aren't Twizzlers) and one brought chocolate-covered almonds. I've been rationing them. 2 pieces of licorice here, 6 almonds there... And I'm doing okay. No urge to take more. Just sweet indulgence in moderation...

    Yum! Now I have to get some red vines or licorice tomorrow. Love them with haribo gummi bears. Love candy!

    I will agree with this. Evil little pretending-to-be-chocolate-chips critters. The horror of expecting chocolate and getting THOSE is unparallelled! (I do like oatmeal cookies, though. Just hold the raisins!)

    I like you. I think we're going to get along.
    :D

    Let's start a Death-To-Raisins club! ;)

    Aren't raisins just dead grapes? I will eat raisins but baking with them should be illegal.

    I love chocolate covered raisins.. that's the only way I will eat them.

    Haha great thread :) I tend to eat what I want so long as it fits in my calories. Some days I go over... but if the general trend is that I'm losing weight and feeling better, then I'm getting what I want.

    If you are achieving what you want from this then who cares what everyone else thinks?

    Good luck! x

    I currently have 1200ish calories left for dinner (going to the gym). I will eat them all.

    McDonald's or Dagwood's (like Subway, but actually good)....that is the questions.

    Hi all I'm new but love this thread! Ok I'm not the sweet eater so much as I am a tasty pretty food vacuum lol. If it's all fancy looking and pretty I wanna try it, I love flavor!!! Bring it on! I'm a sucker for delicious tasty food. Yup mexican and Italian are my faves but I love sushi as well and oh getting fancy looking dressed up tasty food put in front of me ha ha ha. Come to momma!! Dessert ok I will take a bite but yeah I don't really eat processed out of the box food or fast food so much. I also haven't given up a good micro brew either...good food needs good alcohol! Liquor as well and wine! Ok I felt so guilty not eating salads and chicken and fish all the time or snacking on nuts like my ex but I like my good food and just couldn't give it up! I love going to fancy restaurants and trying their pretty fancy foods... I don't want to leave this life and have regrets!! Ha ha ha!-Portion control, water and exercise is my key, I'm still reaching my calorie goals and getting my muscle and leanness but not sacrificing my food choices...Oh thank you it was so nice to just get that off my chest!

    There is no food I won't eat as long as it fits in my calories. I usually try to have a very healthy lunch including lots of veggies, but then for supper I eat whatever type of food my family is having. Removing all unhealthy or junk foods would never be sustainable for me because I am not going to make my family change their diets just for my sake, and force them to have only healthy things. Plus knowing I'm going to have a delicious sometimes unhealthy meal for supper gets me through the day of eating vegetables. Find whatever works for you and go with it. If eating clean is what keeps you happy then that's fine, but for me I eat whatever I want, just in moderation. I've lost 40 lbs this way so I think it's working for me. I saw comments earlier on this thread talking about Buffalo Wild Wings, so I wanted to say that the entire first year of my diet was around the same time when I won free wings for a year from bww, and I still lost weight!

    So lately I've been on the hunt for anything pumpkin flavored- ice cream, muffins, cookies, ect. I can't resist all the seasonal junk food and snacks that hit the shelves right around this time! Caramel apples, pumpkin everything! Yum!!

    Nothin wrong with egg whites! I tried "The Good Egg" sandwich from Au Bon Pain near me and exchanged the eggs for whites...it was amazingly good. I split it into two meals though. It's a huge sandwich. lol. The egg white patty alone was like an inch thick. LOL.

    I eat what I crave, I love food! So I'm trying to control my portions and not go over my calories for the day, and I set them over 2000, so far do good down 35 pounds.

    It's apple cider season. I try not to drink my calories in general, but this time of the year I always fail at that!

    Right?? I'm trying to not think too much about Starbucks caramel apple cider. I got some apple cinnamon tea the other day that's doing pretty well at curbing the cravings, but it's not totally the same of course
