i have allowed myself one piece of chocolate per day, i am low carb but being able to have 1 chocolate a day is really helping me get through it. anyone else allow themselves something similar?

Not with such regularity, but it sounds like it works for you! Enjoy!0

I enjoy pretty much everything in moderation.0

I have a dessert every night (usually 90 -150 calories). I make sure it fits in my calories for the day.0

I'd have killed someone and gone on a binge if I didn't work in "treats" (however you use that term) every day. I don't think of them as "treats", but I have dessert after my 2 meals.0

I do. I have one piece of chocolate after dinner. But I always make sure it fits into my daily calories.0
-
Yep. I eat what I want. Some days they don't fit, most days they do.0
-
Daily, if it fits calorie wise.0

I am not a low carb eater or anything else like that. But I have lost 138 lb eating regular treats. Daily at least. I just try to choose smarter things, like dark chocolate or a small measured scoop of ice cream. However a few times a week I do have something like pie or a big cookie. I don't have trouble fitting it in.0

I try not to eat a lot of desserts. I treat it like a "sometimes" food. It's like a conduit to binging for me, so I try to be careful.0

no, I allow two.0

Lots of folks do. I'm not one of them. I've met goal, have been maintaining for 7 months and have found I often times have no control (about 70% of the time perhaps) when it comes to the things I consider treats such as cakes, ice cream, chocolates, chips, cheese, beef stick. I'm still working on that with a goal of being able to eat anything/everything in moderation.0

This is my theory. If it fits, it slips.
If the treats fit into your calorie allowance, then the weight will still slip off.0 -
When I am pre-logging my dinner and bedtime snack, I see what I have left and if I have enough calories and carbs leftover, I will treat myself to a beer, hard cider, or glass of wine with dinner.
I am not a big sweets eater so I rarely eat any. If I do, it is usually when I am eating elsewhere like a special occasion dinner where there will be birthday cake or at book club where there is always M&M's. I know they will be available and I plan ahead for them and don't consider them treats.0 -
I have something treat like every day. Sometimes chocolate. Sometimes wine.0
-
I enjoy everything I like in moderation If it fits my calories for the day, I'm going to eat it and enjoy myself. I used to overly restrict what I eat, putting foods in "good" and "bad" categories and whenever I did that, I'd soon fall off the weight loss wagon because I was miserable.0

thanks for the input0

Gingerbread Oreos are my current treat favorite!!0

Sometimes, I'll have a piece of chocolate or something. Or a Lindt truffle. (Amazing concentration of deliciousness for 79 calories!)
I'm of the fitting calories and no evil foods school.0 -
I will keep it short! The nice part about MFP is it allows you to plan ahead so you can eat in moderation. If you know that you like certain foods that might be call treats then plug those calories in first for the day. After that you then can determine what your menus will be for the rest of the day. The snack section of meal planning is the perfect place to add all those foods you call treats. Tip: One of the most successful forms of staying on track is to do meal planning the day before you plan to eat them.0
