Foods that you enjoyed but stopped eating

One of my biggest cuts was bread as a side dish. I used to make crescents, garlic bread, or biscuits 4-5 nights a week as a side to my dinner, and I think I've only had them twice in the past 6 months.
Pop Tarts, regular soda, nuts, desserts in general, cheese as a snack, pretzels, chips... the list goes on and on. My grocery list has certainly changed!1 -
Nutella. Because I just can’t stop eating it.2
-
Every now and then I wanted a big greasy burger, but as I normally do I talked myself out of it. Normally after eating a big burger and fries I am full for the moment, but then I still want to eat later in the day. This is what I normally do. However I did order in pizza and wings this weekend and I enjoyed, and still am enjoying it.3

I rarely have toast or cereal for breakfast anymore.2

Since Girl Scout Cookie season is upon us.... Samoas.
I bought 4 boxes and they're just sitting in my cabinet at work.
I thought that I could have one serving but one serving is 2 cookies. I want 2 servings every time, but 2 servings is 300 calories and I can't justify that.2 -
Dont know if its "enjoyed eating" exactly but after 25+ yrs veg I find myself struggling with an addiction to cheeseburgers as comfort food. It started about 3 yrs ago when I began having seizures and somehow meat entered my life. Doing much better now. No meat for several days, already feeling better, less sluggish and, errr, well, stopped up. Finding it hard still to up my protein to decent level but will be back in swing before long. Kinda miss a burger when I'm feeling stressed. Got artisan bread, brown mustard, lots of greens and some portabello n peppers to substitute. One meal at a time I guess.0

Foie gras. I just can't bring myself to eat it anymore, on ethical grounds.1
-
Wretched peanut butter. One serving is just not enough and two servings makes me ashamed, LOL...0
-
It's a personal choice. I would not get full on one bowl nor is it nutrition I need. And I would eat more than one bowl bc it's sweet and I would like eat the whole box quickly. I would not trust myself with that. But I think if you haven't missed it don't stir the hornets nest bc when I do I regret buying what for me could possibly be a trigger food like chocolate anything. I will eat it all and that is why none resides here0
-
doughnuts (home made ones)... used to eat a bunch every time my grandma made them, while they were still warm0
-
Pasta, cheese, dessert, cereal. I'm sure there are others that I can't think of right now too.0

The Samoas struggle is real! My one serving is one row, that's like 5-6 cookies. I cannot keep them in my house!

Oh the dreaded Girl Scout Cookies. I can’t do it either. Last year (soon after I started losing) I bought a box of savanah smiles (the lemon ones) they’re lower calorie than the others, but I ate half the box in one sitting and felt awful. Never again... I’d rather just write them a check and save myself the guilt.0

I love girl scout cookies. They are only available at certain times here, and I tend to buy them only once a year -- normally when my church lets the girl scouts sell them there after mass -- and I get a couple of boxes of thin mints and a couple of samoas (which are my favorites, but I like both) and then mostly parcel them out. Last year it was during Lent so I waited until after Easter to eat them.0

Actually, you can do this and have them ship the cookies to our soldiers that are posted overseas - this way you get to buy the cookies and feel great about helping at the same time!4 -
Corn nuts.0

Pepsi- any soda really, I used to guzzle the stuff, now I'm turned off by it. I think it's the carbonation, makes me choke and bloats me up.0

This is something I've also almost given up. I have it very rarely now. Like maybe once or twice a year.0 -
So many things. But I don't really miss eating like that, so mindlessly.0

How did you start getting all the sweets out of your diet in the first place? I am just starting a diet change and am in need of advice on the best course of action to make this work.0

How do you do this? Is there a website or do you contact a local troup?0 -

Bread as a side was one of the first things I gave up, since mostly I don't miss it at all and didn't find it satiating. I (rarely) will have especially good bread at a holiday meal or other feast type occasion and will have naan at Indian restaurants and injera if I get Ethiopian, but generally not otherwise.0 -

I haven't been back since August 2017. Every now and again I get the urge to hit the drive thru, but each time I pass. I do enjoy other fast food places, but McDonald's is too touchy for me.
This is me too! No more McD's for me.0 -
Sugar soda, dressing in my salad, alcohol, any type of bun on a sandwich or burger0

At least one of the troops that is local to my area is doing it thru the normal sales (like at the grocery store booths) and the leader there said that it is a national movement. Just talk to the adults that are with the kids and they should be able to tell you how it works.1 -

Thanks! I was a Girl Scout and love the organization but don't want the cookies so we always donate but never knew this was an option. I will definitely ask this year.0 -

I had no idea that was an option! Thanks for the info! I’ll look into that.
