lost my "tolerance" for junk

I went vegan for Lent, and have been feeling great. It seems that I naturally tend away from junk and have many fewer cravings eating this way (in contrast to my miserably-failed attempts in college... Tofutti ice cream, anyone? *doh*)
Anyway, yesterday was DS's birthday party, and I told myself that I could go ahead and have a little bit of ice cream cake. I couldn't even finish my small piece and felt SO queasy afterward. A similar thing happened a couple of weeks ago when I decided to have a small serving of vegan brownies and some chips at a party, as that was the only "junky" stuff I had eaten since Fat Tuesday. I thought I was coming down with a stomach bug at the time, but this time it was the exact same feeling. How odd.. and I can't even attribute it to dairy, because the other time I ate junk was dairy-free. Anyway, if it makes me associate unhealthy food with feeling blecch, I'll take it!

I feel you! I used to be able to eat a whole box of these chocolate-coated cornflake things (20 in a box on average) in an evening. Hadn't had them in a while, bought them today, took 5 upstairs and had to stop after 4. I did eventually eat the other one 2 hours later but that was my absolute limit! I'm losing my ability to eat big quantities of things like that, which is excellent news for staying in shape0

Hopefully you'll overcome this behaviour.0

I ate at maintenance yesterday since I went to the In-laws for the night. They always make pretty healthy food, but they serve it in courses and I always feel obligated to eat after I'm full. Especially the dessert ....
Sigh...
But yes, I feel crappy today. It could be my TOM is coming, but I feel like anytime I eat over the occassional 100-200 over my calorie limit, I feel sick.0 -
I suggest daily cream cake until your stomach returns to normal.
I had a smiliar issue with fried food but I stuck with and now I'm able to eat fried food again without issue. Perseverance is key! Be strong.0 -

I have a similar issue. Well, I don't think it's technically an issue. My body doesn't do well with unhealthy or greasy food anymore, I don't enjoy it as much as I used to. While this is technically a good thing, I still have insufferable cravings for bad food, and often I indulge, despite the fact that my body is clearly telling me that it doesn't like or need that sort of crap.0

I started this lifestyle chAnge of eating clean with no candy,cake,ice cream, chips for almost a month in a week. I have no desire to pantyhose things just because those foods are the reason I'm trying to lose weight today. I try to think of junk food as the enemy .. maybe down the line I will crave somethin but I just try to replace stuff like that with healthy snacks like fiber one brownies; although I never really did like cake or cookies maybe that's why it's easier for me idk but so far so good .
Just stay motivated and focused0 -
I went to a show for a couple of days with a friend. I went in lying to myself about wanting to stay on the straight and narrow diet thing. But from the minute I started the weekend I went outside of my diet usuals. The thing about it was I thought I'd be able to consume all of this junk food like my friend was doing. Pre-diet I LOVED chocolate.....I couldn't even finish a candy bar because I felt so yucky physically like I drank too much alcohol. I was able to handle licorice and two cookies. The next day I felt like I had a hangover. However I went back to the event....sans chocolate. I'm still shocked at the fact at how few sweets I ate....I know its a good thing. Looks like I'll be sticking with naturally sweet foods for cheating.0
