Is there anything you absolutely refuse to compromise on?

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

    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.

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

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

    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! :smile:

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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    ^^^^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!

    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.

    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!
