Is there anything you absolutely refuse to compromise on?

Tuffjourney

I'm with you on the chocolate. I've actually lost my craving for chocolate once I started eating healthy - but if I do indulge in chocolate, it's gotta be the good stuff.

I'm still a cheesaholic - and now if I eat it, I eat the good stuff. I will splurge for the cabot cheddar over kraft, etc... Why waste calories on crappy food?

Cheese, sorry but I will adjust my diet to make cheese fit in lol.

Nothing is off limits for me. The key is moderation!!

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I don't truly limit anything. I simply cut back my portions.

as far as food... i hate ASPARTAME!!!

It give me a horrible headache and I refuse to eat anything with any sort of fake sweetner. haha
I'll eat all sorts of junk in moderation


and I won't compromise on my morals, of course! haha

I hate aspertame too. Give mes migraines...

For me it's anything I like. I don't believe one should deprive onself completely of the foods and beverages they enjoy. I just enjoy less of them less often. If I crave something I haven't had in awhile I go right ahead and have it. My latest is Starbucks... I have been getting a lot of Starbucks lattes lately. I do not feel guilty nor do I plan to stop getting them. I just work out harder.

Chips, it's the hardest thing for me to control portions on but I love them.
However now I buy sweet potato chips and measure out a portion on a scale, then I eat them very slowly.
Tomorrow I'm making parsnip chips in the oven.

Wine - I love me some Pinot

Wine. Absolutely. I don't drink much, but I have a glass every day. I will have a glass in my hand on my deathbed.

def chocolate but I only eat the good stuff and most often dark chocolate.......only problem is when I eat it I EAT IT......by the pound

Sushi-- I like the fried kind, with spicy cream sauces, and since I can never eat more than a piece or two of it before I'm full it's never been a problem. Actually going out to eat in general.

Most of the time when I eat out I try to order healthier options, especially if it's fast food. But if I'm out with my husband and it's a special occasion I get what I want.

Honesty is the only thing I can't live without.

DisneyMommy

I don't set myself to any one thing I can't have. Just moderation.

SafireBleu

Pizza and wine. I have learned to work the calories in.

trhjrh06

Pretty much everything, but especially pizza. I didn't want any foods to be off limits. And I found they don't have to be. Yay!

This!!! Maybe not so much pizza for my but just food in general doesn't have to be off limits. Just in moderation!

I am right with you!

Food and drink wise there are two things that I absolutely refuse to compromise on.

1. Chocolate. I am a true chocoholic. I pay extortionate amounts of money on fine chocolate and never eat that milk, sugar and fat laden rubbish that litters the shelves of nearly every shop you walk into. This for me means that I would never gorge myself on chocolate and instead nibble on a chocolate or two everyday. I add it to my calorie intake so I'm not cheating myself. Refuse to change this habit.

2. Butter - Wild horses would not drag me away from eating real butter. Sometimes I buy it. Sometimes I make it myself. I don't eat it every day but I certainly eat it when I want it. Again, if I do eat it, I weight it and count it. There isn't a person on this earth who could get me to eat low fat spread. Low fat spread isn't food - it's the result of a chemistry experiment...yuk!

What's yours if you have any?

I don't really like chocolate.........

But I would say you are a woman after my own heart with #2............

I love raw, grass fed pasture butter. I sometimes make it myself and other times I buy Kerry Gold pasture butter. It tastes really good with my other refuse to compromise food, coffee. So rich and creamy.

Coffee has to be organic, dark roast and fair trade and made with filtered water.

kappy_hollowell

Mmmmm.... A nice glass of Pinot Noir and some Green & Black's 70-80% Dark Chocolate. Usually my late night/evening snack... Nothing is really off limits, but I do eat more healthy now, and some of the crappy foods just aren't as good. If I want Ice Cream, it's usually a Magnum bar. Mmmm.... that's what I had at lunch! I took one bite of a snickers the other day and had to throw it out it wasn't very good!

Ambamm77

hazelnut creamer for my coffee. I usually use FF.

kayleystar

I don't limit myself to what I can eat. If I want a piece of cake at a party? I'll eat it. Just has to be worked into my calories for the day! I think that's the only way to really keep a lifestyle going....not depriving yourself. I've done so many diets (Atkins, South Beach, etc) that were so limiting, and great for getting weight off quickly, but not keeping it off, as I would cave and then binge, because I was so limited.

Butter!!!

^^^^YES! Agree completely. Food should not be off limits, and she's correct, it doesn't have to be! I still love my pizza, cheese, pasta and beer Haha, I swear I eat healthy most days!

sburde2

Booze. If I'm gonna drink I'm gonna drink what I want. No light beers or "skinny" whatever drinks haha. Now that I'm about to graduate grad school I drink much less than I used to so when I do I don't worry about it.

I guess chocolate....I don't have it every day, but I wouldn't rule it out. I also get the Horizon chocolate milk individual cartons, and that's my after-workout recovery thing when I leave the gym and am on my way to work.

A year ago, I'd have said pizza as well, but after cutting it out for a long time, it really doesn't taste that good anymore, and bothers my stomach....same with a lot of other things like fried food and overly-sweet baked goods like cupcakes and such....

Not complaining though...I kinda like that my body rejects "bad" food..makes it easier to stick with eating healthier most of the time.

i want to keep out high sodium foods and high saturated fat foods. sodium has been my biggest problem, but it wasnt apparent to me until i joined MFP and logged everything and looked at it...before i was only logging total cals, protein, carbs, fat sugar and fiber...seeing my sodium...booo! ive cut quite a few things...basically a lot of things in a can or box from the grocery store lol...deli meats...basically...all things convenient end up sucking...which sucks! lol

beckipercy

Eating/drinking out. It doesn't happen very often, but if I get invited out I refuse to say no and, when I am out, I refuse to ruin my friends/families nights by calorie counting!
