Hey guys, so I want to eat healthy and I am doing really well but I also want to enjoy life and the two things I cannot and will not cut out completely is chocolate and coffee (with cream and sugar). Of course I eat and drink these in moderation ( I probably drink coffee two to three times a week when I used to every morning). I think that if I am so strict on myself to the point that I think oh my god I wish I COULD have that, I think I would be miserable! Life is too short for me to worry what one little piece of chocolate or a cup of coffee will do to my diet... so anyone else have anything that they will not completely cut out? Or am I just the crazy one who loves these two things too much to let go haha. :happy:

    I refuse to cut out chocolate. I used to love milk chocolate but have switched over to dark chocolate and love it. I eat it almost every day. I also eat an occasional slice of pizza. Nothing is bad as long as its in moderation.

    I REALLY like cheese so I won't give that up but have learned to like lower fat kinds.

    and I will eat at least some form of chocolate once or twice a week forever

    Chocolate and pizza.

    I eat either one whenever I want to and it hasn't held me back.

    Rare beef, cheese, chocolate, crystallized ginger, ginger spread. I will not give those up, and I enjoy most of them nearly every day. Beefsteak, not every day, but several times a week. Quality of life, and all that.

    coffee with cream and sugar, cheese, pasta...really not into cutting out stuff, I eat alot more green stuff, and less of the other stuff,,, moderation, i did totally kick Dr. pepper to the curb, but that was due to a 6 pack a day addiction, if I wanted one now, i probably will have one.

    Anything I enjoy eating. If I want it badly enough to make it fit in my cals for the day, or badly enough to be willing to eat a little less for X number of days to compensate, then I will eat it without guilt. Nothing to feel guilty about if I figure a way to make it work anyway. Anything I cut out will just make me crave it more. Better to just fit it in with as little fuss as possible.

    Crystallized ginger? I thought I was the only one. I don't eat it too often, but I love that sweet/ hot deliciousness!

    Beer mostly. When I started my 'big plan' last summer I did a 90 day beer fast. I'm glad I did it, but no way I'd do it for life. Just not worth it.

    Instead I'll eat way less meat than I normally did and make room for my passions, which include craft beers.

    :laugh:

    Even if just a little right? I hear in Australia the docs recommend 4 drinks a day? Here in the US it's like 2-3?

    Chocolate and alcohol!
    I have cut down and only drink wine on the weekend now...don't drink liquor or beer...but I adore good wine:)
    Also, I eat raw vegan dark chocolate...I put raw cocoa powder in my morning shake (which is really good for you and high in anti oxidants) and eat a live raw chocolate mousse dessert when I am being naughty ;)
