    “MODERATION. SMALL HELPINGS. SAMPLE A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING. THESE ARE THE SECRETS OF HAPPINESS AND GOOD HEALTH.” – JULIA CHILD

    Truly, we don’t need to deny ourselves foods we enjoy. But we do need to practice moderation. Smaller, appropriate portions can be incorporated in our “diet”.

    There are, however, some foods I used to binge on and, so, I don’t have them in the house. I’ve declared these “special occasion” foods. It’s just my way of maintaining control over those evil foods, lol.

    My “special occasion” foods are alcohol, salty white carbs (crackers, chips), and sweets. Of these I’ve only had one mixed drink since first of the year (special occasion: visiting daughter). Thankfully the salty and sweet cravings have left me.

    What foods have all of you given up or declared “special occasion” only?

    This expresses my current philosophy pretty succinctly.

    I don't think I'd last very long trying to quit cold turkey on all the foods I love. So, my plan was, until more recently, to stick to my diet all week, and if I lost 2 pounds on Friday, I'd allow myself whatever treat I wanted. This way, I could resist temptations during the week by thinking I had only to wait until Friday. After having done that successfully for months, I guess I needed a break. So now, I treat myself more frequently, but not too frequently, and in very, very small helpings... just enough to remind me of how good it is.

    So, right now, I don't think there's anything I've given up, unless we use the term "special occasion" rather loosely. :D

    Correction: I've given up Marie Callender's Chicken Pot Pies (w/ ~46 grams of fat each!).
