    Yes. The only food I have that is off limits, is the food I don't like the taste of.

    Fit it into your day, exercise to work for it, or accept that one treat occasionally isn't going to ruin your progress.

    I used to decorate cakes from home until I had my third baby. I spend a lot of time perfecting recipes. When I do bake now, it's like what a lot of other people are saying "eat one, log it, and move on". I am still struggling with once I have one indulgence moving on and maintaining the healthy food mentality. Just remember your commitment and you will be fine.

    If you're not on a diet, don't stop eating the foods you love. I haven't and am still losing weight. I just count them in my calories. Oh well, we have to learn to eat like regular people.

    Yes. and donuts. and birthday cake. and fish and chips. and hot dogs topped with macaroni and cheese. and you can see from my ticker that it worked.

    I eat treat foods as *treats*. I log them, or don't. But they're occasional indulgences that I enjoy, that make life fun and tasty, and that I keep in balance with many, many healthy meals.

    Have a cupcake. Log it. Move on. I'm not on a diet, never was, and it sounds like you're not either.

    haha. Funnily enough, that is exactly what I wanted to hear. Feel much better now. And wow, you have lost a lot of weight. That is very encouraging. Fab

    Everything in moderation. I never looked at this as a diet as a lifestyle change and for me I think that's one huge reason I was successful. Cookies, ice cream, treats are all part of life :wink:

    Oh yes I eat cupcakes! As a matter of fact I'm getting one today. If I deprive myself, I'll eventually snap as always.

    I'd like to eat about 16 right now.

    Unfortunately for me, even if it's within my calories, my weight loss will stall when I have sugar like that.

    I've lost 12 pounds in the past 25 days. Last night I indulged in a large chocolate chip cookie. I don't plan to cut anything out completely. A naughty treat sometimes is a must in life.

    Cupcakes, cookies, brownies, chocolate bars. I just made some awesome chocolate peanut butter fudge.

    Absolutely, I do. I just think about it while I'm doing it and fit it into my calories. Or, you know, go over for the deliciousness.

    I eat anything I want. Baked goods, fries, burgers, pizza... But I work it into my allowance for the day, unless it's a once in a long time special occasion where I don't worry as long as I don't go too much over maintenance calories. I have found that I spend my calories like money, and only use them on the really good stuff, like fresh donuts from the bakery in the next town.

    yes. I eat. food all day, 4 times a day, avocados, cheese,meats, fruits, veggies, butter...and I even have a slice of pizza or a cookie now and again. I can tell you that in the last 6 months I have "lost it" only a handful of times where eating something unhealthy turned into a caloric binge. Three things happened on those occasions. 1. I got sick and 2. I got disappointed. 3. I learned. Now I do this, I dont keep junk in the house, thats like asking a two year old to keep her hands out of the cookie jar. I eat clean almost ALL the time so that when someone shows up with a treat that makes my mouth water I CAN partake without throwing off my whole day/week etc. And finally two Really important things: Plan ahead and never get too hungry. Its about portions. Its about nutrition. The better the food the better I feel. Am I never going to eat chocolate cake again, hell no! I love chocolate and since I eat so good and work out so much by gonnit Ima have a piece now and again! Cheers! :)

    haha. Love it. Thanks :D

    I still eat everything I use to. I just remember to stay within my macros. I only eat twice a day now, which allows me to gorge myself on whatever I want, especially on training days :happy: :happy:

    I'm missing chocolate cakes... cupcakes with frosting. I've been at this for 2 weeks now and for me I am trying to eat healthier for the rest of my life, so I do not see it as a diet. But I am a serious food lover and enjoy baking - and eating what I bake. Is there anybody out there that still eat some of their favourite 'naughty' food and still lose weight? Cheers mi dears :D

    If you're abstaining from sweets and what not, is that really "lifestyle?" Are you going to forever avoid sweets? Are you never going to have cake at your birthday or whatever? Here's a visual of "lifestyle"...or as I like to call it, "good livin' vs dieting.

    Eat a lot of this...

    top-10-foods-to-help-maintain-your-weight-L-pfIDL5.jpeg

    and a lot of this...

    and less of this (but an occasion doesn't make or break you)...

    while occasionally indulging in some of this...

    and Good Livin' always includes this...

    and this....

    and never forget this...Good Livin' is incomplete without it...
