Hello,

I have been keeping under my calorie allowance I am still allowing my self the odd treat. My fav thing is 70 % Dark Choc, I have weighed out several bits and allow myself whenever I have the urge, as long as i'm sensible. We have to remember we won't be on diets for ever so control is a big thing.

Would love to know what food / treat you can't give up or go with out.

    I love ice cream in the evenings. I now buy the occasional skinny cow mini cup and have it as a reward instead of keeping a carton of ice cream in the freezer. Because if I keep a whole carton of it then I go overboard easily!

    Cheesy foods!

    My sugar cravings have finally ceased. After about 20 years, it's about time! I don't like milk chocolate much anymore, don't enjoy soda. I still like ice cream, but most things are way too sweet for me now.

    Me too. After all, we have to have some rewards and relief to look forward to. Plus, it's healthy and full of antioxidents.

    I can't function without my requisite morning nonfat lattes. Dark chocolate is also a good one. I also refuse to give up rice.

    I haven't really given up on any food. I just cut back on the portions, ever mindful that once in awhile is acceptable but too often will destroy everything I've worked hard for thus far.

    I would have said chocolate about a month ago but sadly have become severely lactose intollerant just recently. One piece makes me sick so it is now completly off limits.
    I mentioned to my husband recently that chocolate was my nemisis and wished there was a way to conquor it. He actually had the nerve to remind me of this comment and told me to be careful what you wish for . . . . . . funny guy!

    M & M Peanut!!!! I also love SmartFoods White Cheddar Popcorn and although its 100 cals per bag I can swallow 4 bags in one sitting with lots and lots of hot sauce...so I try to have only one bag, but sometimes I may have one for afternoon snack and one for evening snack. Like you said its all about self-control...Everything in moderation. I could go on and on about things I crave and like, but I will stop. I like how you allow yourself to have some of the things you like just less. If you deprive yourself you will only crave it more and end up falling off; so have a little and keep losing those pounds:)

    A really BIG bowl of cereal. I don't like sugary cereals, so that is good, but even the healthy ones are not a wise choice when you eat a Jethro Bodine sized bowl! :blushing:

    So it seems i'm not the only one with a sweet tooth! iv recently discovered liquorice which is really low in calories yet gives me the answer to some of my cravings. I really really love pizza and red wine too, but that's the reason i'm in this mess so have given them up for now. I'm new to dieting so working through my weakness's and cravings slowly so i don't back track or at worst give in.

    Soda. I gave up my favorite, Mountain Dew, when I was pregnant and ran into problems with Eclampsia after birth. I moved to Cherry 7Up but I'm trying to limit myself to 1 a day.

    I can't give up my coffee or red wine. The latter I've cut WAY back on, but I can't get rid of it completely. Cheese too - it sneaks in a couple days. You can keep your sweets! I'm a salt-tooth (popcorn is heaven).

    King Cake! It's SO hard to watch what you eat in Southern Louisiana! Especially when King Cake (Mardi Gras) is around and crawfish season is coming up! God help me during crawfish season!!

    Honestly...nothing! :( All my favorite treats I haven't been able to eat in over a year since I'm dairy free due to pretty bad lactose intolerance (easier to be dairy free then play the hit or miss game with dairy products!) Okay well there is something... I do love pistachios, almonds, peanuts...any type of nuts! Yummmmm...definitely could not live without those!

    "Kid" cereals...Cap'n Crunch, Lucky Charms, you name it! I'd sit on the couch and munch on a bowl of dry cereal like some people eat popcorn!!! Most of them aren't too bad calorie wise but loaded with sugar. I still have it, but limit to about 1/2 dry cup and eat 1 piece at a time...:)

    Love the Skinny cow ice creams! Such a treat and I feel like I am cheating. I particularly like the carmel vanilla cone and the ice cream sandwiches...yummy!

    My favorite "naughty" treat is always some kind of iced coffee, like a Starbucks Frappuccino or something. :laugh:

    Marshmallows. I've forced myself to switch to fat free 5 calorie ready whip which works most of the time. But nothing better than a good Jet Puff :) The strawberry one's are awesome.
    My new motto is Cancer loves Sugar.... so I'm avoiding sugar at all costs while my best friends husband battles his last few months of life, I'm giving up marshmallows for her. But...it's my "can't live without" treat.

    Peanut Butter. Just on a spoon (or liberally applied to most any food). I now let myself have one TBSP a week. I tried the natural stuff but it just doen't do it for me.

    Once a week? OMG - I eat peanut butter almost every day - 1 Tbsp on whole wheat toast with an apple or banana for breakfast. Keeps me nice and full all AM.
