    I enjoy my healthier eating too. Lots of fresh veggies, fruit, and fresh grilled protein. Easy to fix too. I still love my occassional pizza & chocolate treats ( in addition to my daily dark chocolate square).

    I'm with you! I don't like the look of a lot of 'junk' anymore and it doesn't always taste as good as the memory. I also like making homemade versions for far less calories, like a good fry up with high quality ingredients and grilled tastes better to me now (still only have this occasionally!) I remember early on ordering a take away pizza and logging it after. It was 3000kcal for half a very large pizza. I was gutted. I haven't ordered pizza since! It wasn't as good as the 3000kcal 'cost'.

    It's completely a lifestyle to me too.

    I agree! I love healthy eating! I haven't eaten fast food due to repulsion for several years (which in itself does not keep the weight off, as I know first hand). It has to be combined with portion control too

    I hear ya lol There's an old saying that says "nothing tastes as good as thin feels". So true.

    Yes in general I enjoy it - I have quite a few new favourites, like fresh sweetcorn and watermelon, raw peas and our own home grown strawberries that I never really used to eat. I've moved away from cheap choc and now we eat the rich dark stuff. We cook more and have more cold plates than in the past. I havea protein bar when I go out on the bike. I agree the look of real junk is now almost alarming - when the boys get a huge Chinese in I just have a chicken foo yung ( mostly egg, right? Protein?) and hold back. It's usually not too much of a struggle. I have to confess sometimes I miss recreational overeating but the prize is worth it.

    I've always enjoyed a lot of healthy stuff. I'm just eating less of the junky stuff.
