    -peanut butter
    -nuts
    -granola
    -avocado
    -sushi
    -pasta
    -rice
    -dried fruit

    love them all and I know some are healthy I just can't bring myself to spend that many calories for such a small amount of food. Keep in mind that I'm a 5 foot tall girl, and I don't have a lot of wiggle room.

    I know! Avocado is very good for you but I cannot eat just 1/4 cup, no way so most times I avoid it.
    Peanut butter-never will I stop eating this! I will just suffer.

    If I'm going to blow my calorie count on something, I'd better love every bite of it!

    Candy bars and cookies are not worth my time.

    Fried foods and food that doesnt taste good. If I'm at a dinner and I dont think something tastes good, I wont waste calories on it. Sometimes people get offended or they think you're being ridiculous.

    I see you are in Lewes. Are you talking about the Joe's Crab Shack in Wilmington, on the Riverfront?

    oh yes I am- I try to get there once or twice a year- and am also making my first trip to trader joes
    Seems like once or twice a year you could go ahead and indulge.

    Donuts, sodas, booze, and regular cheese (the no fat kind works just as well for me anyway) aren't worth the cals.

    I feel bad for all of the shunned foods. They never did anything wrong.
    I want to buy a chocolate bar, cover it in peanut butter, and scarf it down.
    It would be worth it to me.

    Definitely soda. I haven't had any in a month and a half. I just don't see the point in working my butt off to burn calories only to put them back on with a drink. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be to give it up, too. I'm in Texas and we love our Dr. Pepper! :P

    Said before..... the microwave meals. Healthy choice, lean cuisine, etc. Very conveinient for work lunch, but always high in sodium and not that appealing. Would rather eat healthy leftovers.... if I can get my hubby to leave any. Haha

    The way I think of this is there is nothing I avoid now because of the calories, but I don't like using my calories on crap versions of food I know I can make, or someone else I know can make. I love baked desserts, but almost never eat them out or the store bought crap because I know where to get really good baked goods. For me its all about quality. I don't mind using calories on quality.

    Any type of fast food. I had a Wendy's sandwich/small fries yesterday to the tune of 850 (!!) calories for lunch. I went to bed hungry and over my daily goal. I paid $7 to have a hungry evening.. yeah, no, not worth it.

    Hey there another 5'0 girl here; in case you don't already know, I wanted to give a shout out to the nuts/seeds family--most help your body release satiety hormones, so that cancels out the small portion size :)
