Really? I still love them, then agai I've been eating that way for years. Although I'm overweight I have been eating whole wheat n lowfat cheese a long time. Guess it's what you get used to. Try laughing cow spreadable cheese that may satisfy you!

BIGGRAMMA

I don't really miss anything...because if I really crave something I will eat some in moderation....Your grilled cheese sandwich sounded yucky to me....not the bread part but the cheese part.....I eat full fat cheese just less of it....and I now eat Jack or Mozzarella instead of my favorite strong chedder....

Some one told me to try using Kraft fat free miracle whip on the bread instead of butter or margerine and i think that is what ruined it for me.

I still have everything I used to, I just don't have it often and I don't have very much of it. :flowerforyou:

What do I miss eating TONS of in one sitting? Wheat Thins w/ Cream Cheese

Yep you're probably right. Spray butter works, not as well as real butter but got to make some exchanges:grumble:

soopatodd

Ummmmm, cream cheese and triscuits!

I miss my morning Starbucks habit (full fat mocha or chai) and it was especially hard during the holidays = Peppermint Mocha, Eggnog Latte, Gingerbread Latte!!!!! YUMM... this is the 1st yr that I didn't drink one. Yay me! I sometimes will still order a skinny mocha every few weeks as a treat but its just not the same. In my glory days I would even order a Mocha Breve (mocha made with half&half) its sooooooo many calories for the venti, probably more than half of my fitnesspal daily goal! :blushing: Whoops. Never again.

EWWWwww - that sounds gross.

I spray my bread with Pam butter flavor and use one lowfat cheddar slice. Tastes pretty good, and not super greasy!

I don't really miss anything, like some others have said, if I want it, I eat it, just in moderation. Do I really need to eat a HUGE bowl of ice cream? No, if I want some, I have some, but I measure out a cup, and then add 1/2 a cup of frozen fat free cool whip to it to "bulk it up" without adding tons of calories.

I think this summer I will miss my ice coffees, I don't really like coffee, lol, I get a med FV ice coffee with 7 creams and 7 sugars. Well I used to anyway, but I know it must have like a million calories. I may try it with skim milk instead of cream and see if that tastes good.

Same here.

i do the same. of course I've been known to run just so I could have a cheeseburger LOL or a creme brule(though I found making it with whole milk is just as yummy and a third of the calories and fat)

MattySparky

we have this burger joint in Canada (maybe in the states too??) called Lick's... yeah if you've been there and had their burgers, enough said. Not that I ever ate lots of them, but damn... they're so friggin good and they make this sauce called "Guk" which is this garlic sauce you put on the burger along with all your other favorite things... lets just say that I can almost taste a licks burger talking about it.

Nation's Burgers. Fat Burgers. Taco Bell. In-and-Out-Double Double and a Chocolate shake. Round Table Pizza. Cold Stone Creamery cheesecake flavored ice cream with cherries and chocolate chips.
my dad's homemade potato macaroni salad (with a 30 oz. jar of Best Foods). drinking whatever and however much I wanted. (alcohol I mean) my homemade chocolate chip cookies. made with 2 sticks of real butter and double the choc. chips the recipe calls for. Real, high-octane Coca-Cola and Pepsi. High Tech Burrito "The Godzilla" covered in sour cream, guac, cheese, steak and chicken (approx. the size of a newborn infant). Carl's Jr. Kaukana Port-flavored Cheese balls covered in slivered almonds, spread on wheat thins. I could go on and on. (and quite obviously, I did!)

But you know what? As I have learned more about how much exercise it takes to burn how many calories, I have more and more not felt the old urges, because it will just take that much longer for me to hit my goals. I'd rather eat well and hit my goals sooner than eat those (formerly) cherished foods.

French fries.

I used to eat them almost everyday. See, fries represent a lot more than food to me. They were what I remember eating when my grandpa would pick me up from school. When my parents were divorcing, or when I was going through the emotional tedium of changing houses and having to play middleman, I'd walk over to Wendy's and get a hot pack of fries.

I don't think I'm quite at a point where I can just "have a couple" and let it go. I think that if I allowed myself a child's size, that it would be "loosing the hounds."

I'm getting better at baking butternut squash fries though! Haven't managed to get 'em the right consistency, but cloooosing in.

Oh, and greasy spoons! We have this joint called 59 Diner. It has these amazing milkshakes, and that very special "so bad it's amazing" burger. You know, the greasy kind that tastes like food of the gods when you wander in at 1 in the morning with friends?

I haven't had either in...gods...7 months? Wowza.
