I love fatty foods to so I make sure I have something every week and still stay within my calories...I go out for a burger and fries or somthing like that. I just don't do it every night anymore. I'm not sure there's an easy answer for your question but I'd say set up a way of eating that you can live with. I would also consider what triggers your eating...maybe it's something you can change. Best of luck.0

I give myself a cheat day one day a week. I don't even track my food on that day and I enjoy everything I want. I don't over do it and eat just to eat, but if I want it I let myself have it on that day regarless of what it is.. for me personally it helps me live through the days when I have to say no to the birthday cake in the office break room!0

Try shakeology nutrition!!!! Gives body all the nutrients you need in a day and thus helps with portion control and reduce cravings!!

For me, it took around 2 weeks to RESIST those food temptations and then they started going away. Now I very rarely crave the crappy food. I'm not saying it was easy but it might be easier to know that if you just stay strong for a few weeks, it gets noticeably easier. I work at Buffalo Wild Wings on the weekends and those were my hardest times. And after you lose a couple of pounds, that alone is motivation to keep going! Hang in there. You've come to the right site and there are a lot of people who are going through what you're going through. I look at some of my MFP friends' pages when I feel like I'm caught in a rut or something. There's one girl in particular that when I look at her pictures (she's only a pound away from her goal), it makes me curse her out all the way to the Elliptical Machine ;P
P.S. I agree with ebert... every now and again I treat myself. Because it's all about moderation. That way I don't have to live forever without Taco Bell.0
