What is the one food or treat you refuse to give up?

How do you control the amount of that item that you eat?


I'm a huge Dr. Pepper fiend. I refuse to give it up completely, and whenever I try I'm completely miserable and feel deprived. I've been trying to cut back to only 1-2 a week. I drink sparkling water with natural flavor when I crave the fizz. I'm just curious what other people insist on keeping in their diets :-)

    Pizza. I eat it less often, and look for lower calorie options, but I refuse to give it up completely.

    Bacon.

    It's a once a week treat, but I eat less of it now than I used to.

    Anything that I like, really. I just limit things...... I don't eat out more than once a week, etc. I'm all about portion control, logging it, and moving on.

    Pizza for sure, and the occasional frozen yogurt, but I do try to spread that out over a couple of days.

    I haven't given up anything. I simply track calories. One good idea though..."All things in moderation."

    Good luck! :smile:

    Wine- Moscato to be precise. It's only 127 calories per 5oz so I manage to fit it in there from extra calories I gain from walking.

    ^^ This. And once a week I eat Burger King croissants for breakfast, but the ham and cheese ones aren't too hard to keep in my calorie budget for a day.

    Oh, and alcohol, and . . ., and . . . , and . . .

    OK, I suck at the eating part of this, but I am under every day with exercise . . .

    Chocolate....

    I've compromised on that one, though, and just have dark instead of milk. Dark has less sugar and no dairy, so it's the better choice and I like it better than milk anyways. But even with that better alternative, I still consider it a treat!

    Meat. It's not that I wouldn't prefer to not eat animals because I really would rather not. It's not that I wouldn't prefer to be less of a massive drain on the environment because I would really rather do my bit to preserve it. But it comes down to what I feel good eating and what has made it possible to lose the excess pounds without being a craving beastie. And unfortunately for the moo cows of the world and for all of the ecosystems that raising moo cows destroys, a diet heavy in beef is working great for me.

    As long as I never get bitten by that lone star tick, my new boogieman. Horrid thing!

    New research adds to a growing body of evidence that suggests certain tick bites may cause even the most seasoned of carnivores to develop an allergy to red meat.

    Beer. I only drink on the weekends and try to keep my food calories where they are normally.
