Is there something you eat that you should cut back on? Even though you're allowed to (calorie wise) you still feel a little guilty?

Mine right now is blueberry bagels with honey butter. Like 400 calories, so I can make it work for breakfast (every morning this week, ugh.)


Anyone else in the same boat?

    Hey! I used to be the same way. I always incorporated my toast in the morning with raspberry jam lol. Somehow I dont even know I just stopped. It was something I had to have at that time though. If you wanted to try eliminate it you could try eating half in the morning.

    Mine is...I should probably stop drinking coffee & diet sodas...on a daily basis. The coffee I can cut out no problem but I LOVE diet coke. I usually have one fountain diet coke a day. (I do still get my 8 to 10 glasses of water in though.)

    Thanks for the tip! I'm going to give it a try tomorrow :)

    Actually, now that I'm logging what I eat, I'm acutely aware of everything that goes into my mouth. No more absently eating a few grapes as I pull the bunch out of the grocery bag. No more eating the last couple of bites of pb&j from my kids' plates, etc. It's the "observer effect" at work. The act of observing and logging what I eat actually changes my behavior.

    Just as an aside - there's nothing wrong with having that blueberry bagel. But try adding a protein source along with it. The protein will help to even out your blood sugar and you may find that you are less hungry afterward. (Sure, you could cut back on the butter, too, or even choose to have half the bagel. But you don't have to fix everything at once.)

    Maybe drinking OJ with breakfast? I know I'm not getting all the fiber the actual fruit has and I'm drinking calories, but I am a grump if I don't get my daily OJ. I might even choose it over coffee if I had to pick one. At least I drink FL's natural and it's not from concentrate nor does it contain added sugar.

    I eat too much of the same foods. I have to try to eat different things. It seems like all I eat is oatmeal, yogurt, fish & steamed veggies.

    Starbucks vanilla iced lattes and no not the sugar-free kind. I don't like the taste of most sugar-free stuff.

    I do that too! I notice everytime I go grocery shopping I'm always buying the exact same things. :laugh:

    Honey Butter sounds like sugar and saturated fat.
    A bagel is always wheat unless its gluten free(are you eating wheat?).
    There's carbs and starch in most breads.
    Perhaps try whole grain toast with fresh or frozen blue berries ??
    and you can put real Honey on the toast but not even a teaspoon amount.

    My daily treat which is usually a kitkat chunky, maltesers or sometimes a bakery cookie.
    I really wish I could cut refined sugar out entirely, but when I have tried, I have ended up going on binges.
    I need a sweet and healthy alternative I guess that is simple to make. Fruit just doesn't compare, though of course, I do eat fruit.

    I really have only had it once in the past month and a half BUT cheese fries. I know how bad they are for me but they're so good! Now that I got my fix tonight though, maybe it'll be another month and a half or more before I go there again.

    sugar free Rockstar! It's not as bad as regular Rockstar, but water is the better choice!

    I should probably stop eating (drinking)...EVERYTHING AT STARBUCKS!!! I have about three delicious coffee drinks a week! 400 calories that could be better used on something else!

    Coffee - i used to have 1 cup milk, 1/3 cup coffee, and 2 spoons of sugar - something like 150 calories a cup (or more, i don't remember exactly). Then i cut out sugar, then reduced the milk to half. but i still have 2-4 cups a day at 80 calories each... but i think its either that, or snacking...

    I have a miniature chocolate bar (35 calories) after lunch every day and a flavored vodka and club soda many nights after my daughter goes to bed. Only a hundred calories combined but still bad!

    No, I do not feel guilty at all for eating any specific food item as long as I fit it into my goals.

    Haagen Dazs- all the flavors. I eat it like 3 times a week before bed. It's always within my calories, but I feel like no one should be able to lose weight eating that stuff!

    Ditto. I eat what I like to eat, log it, and move on. Guilt is for suckers
