I'd have to say mine is either pizza or curry.

    That's great that you are able to do that! You have a lot more self control than I do. I just have to stay away from them all together.

    I've been on diets before where I give up eating all my favourite foods and I can't stick to them. I eat everything I love most and just stay within my calorie budget- much easier to stick to! I just can't give up creamy blue cheese pasta.

    Creamy blue cheese pasta? That sounds pretty good, I've never tried it! Where are you from? I love blue cheese and I've heard people says it's a "North Eastern" thing.

    I still eat plenty of curry. Pizza is harder so I am usually over calories unless I have exercised first.

    I still eat things that I love, but the one thing I refuse to order anymore is Chinese. I. Will always over do it! Always! I just find it too delicious to stop! To be honest last time I ate it I felt quite ill. Probably a mixture of over eating and the fact that it was all deep fried. (egg fried rice, prawn toast, sweet and sour Cantonese style) feeling like that after has put a huge dent in the craving which is good!

    I don't miss anything, I eat everything, but I burn everything I eat.
    In my first diet every weekend I used to eat Hardees, but when I do that I have to increase about one hour to my workout.

    lol that's funny, me too. All the sudden I am craving foods that I have never even had the desire to eat before just because I can't eat them.

    I agree, Chinese food is way to delicious to stop.

    Oh its amazing. It's my husband's recipe and he's from Derby, UK (I'm a southerner, originally). I hate raw blue cheese, but just melting blue cheese in double cream with some garlic... delicious.

    LOTS of food. I have a ton of food allergies and can't eat anything with certain ingredients. Example last time I had dairy I ended up in the Emergency Department because I had sharp twisting pains for 6 hours non stop.

    For milk- I'm only aloud flax, hemp or rice.
    Cheese- Goat/Sheep only.
    Eggs- eggs whites aloud, yolk 1 x week.
    COMPLETE ELIMINATION: Almonds, barley, coconut, gluten, peanuts, rye, soy, spelt and wheat. Which is in ALOT of food.

    I'm going on month 4 and feel so much better, however...Do I ever miss marble cheese, pizza...all the bad stuff...It's forcing me to become a healthy eater or I'm in alot of pain...Bonus its helping with my weight loss!

    ^^ This is why completely eliminating your fave foods from your day-to-day eating is not sustainable in the long run, and why people end up binging or giving up altogether. Learn to incorporate the foods you love NOW (whether this means eating smaller portions or simply planning your days more effectively), so you can continue eating like a normal person in the future after you've reached your weight loss goals.

    No food is off limits for me. I just work it into my macros.

    I still pretty much eat what I want, just in smaller portions and not so often!

    I do miss having a weekly takeaway though on a saturday or sunday night! Lol now I try and limit myself to once every 3 / 4 weeks!

    Another one who doesn't give up any foods. Are you planning to never eat curry and pizza again in your life? Or would you rather teach yourself to eat it in moderation? My strategies include:

    1. Portion control. Afraid you'll eat an entire large pizza? Don't buy the large. Get the smallest one available, and either budget your calories to eat it all, or plan to eat half and save the other half for tomorrow. If you can't stop yourself from eating it all, you won't be over all that much.

    2. Planning ahead. Look up the nutrition of the items you like, and see how you can jigger things to get the taste you love with fewer calories. You'd save 50-90 calories per slice, for instance, if you switched from pan pizza to thin crust at Pizza Hut. And obviously, toppings make a difference. Again, just looking at Pizza Hut, there's 100-150 calorie difference between a slice of Meat Lover's and Veggie Lover's (med. vs. lg). Me, I love sausage on pizza. But mushroom is my second favorite. Usually these days, I get mushroom and am perfectly happy.

    3. Eat the exercise! Long run days, when I burn 700-1000 calories? I get the sausage. And bread sticks. And a glass of red wine to wash it all down. And I still lose weight.
