Is there one food indulgence you won't give up?

For me it's real cream in my coffee. I have two cups in the morning and that's all. I enjoy it so much it's worth the calories. A friend commented that I could save a lot of calories by using low fat milk, but it just is not the same, so I count the calories and enjoy. Does anyone else have something they like so much they won't give up?

    In maintenance now....I'll eat pretty much anything I want these days, including ice cream, chocolate and booze, but I make myself work for it/earn it.

    I don't really give up anything except things with extreme calorie counts. I used to down cheeseburgers that topped 2,000 calories, which now I can't even fathom eating. But if I really want something, I either find a way to make it fit my calories, cut it in half and share it with someone, or buy a much smaller version of what I want.

    I don't really give up foods either but there's one thing I particularly love, and that is eating a whole box of Kraft mac and cheese. I do weigh the container before cooking and I will log the whole thing. Thankfully I usually end up with 500-600 cals from walking, so I can afford the calories to do so.

    Oh and I doooo love Digornio stuffed crust pizza.

    Cheesecake for me but when shedding weight it is a once every ten weeks treat rather than the more frequent indulgence when off the wagon.

    Didn't really "give up" anything, but the most calorific thing I won't give up is regular dinners out. I like trying new restaurants and going to old favorites. None of it is easy to log (I've started just generally estimating), but it's part of my lifestyle and something that I had to find a way to make work (which turned out not to be too hard).

    Steak. <3

    I'm cooking some tonight. I'm debating whether I want to cut into my bedtime snack for some wine with dinner.

    I've give up most chips as they won't fit in my daily calorie allowances, but I just can't give up on my ramen. It's all empty calories and salt, but mmm noodles... I eat less for breakfast/lunch on days I eat it so I can make it fit. Totally worth it every now and then!

    Ice cream stays in my plan. I do not have it often, but it is certainly part of my options.

    I've given up quite a few things or reduced them out of my diet. But vanilla syrup in my morning coffee - I only put a small amount but I just can't resist.

    (I don't count it, or the milk!)

    I'm the same as most others have said -- I haven't specifically given up things, but I have stopped eating the junk on a frequent/daily basis. I used to eat a ton of chips, cookies, donuts, and ice cream... now I am doing ice cream about once a week and trying to avoid the rest. On the weekend I made healthier homemade cookies... things like that. For me it's all about being consistent and making good choices, while still living life.

    Chocolate. I have one dove dark chocolate square every day with my noon vitamins & meds. I consider it my "don't be mean" medicine.

    Several here:

    1. I *LOVE* real Vermont maple syrup (lived in Vermont for awhile) so use it on Belgian waffles occasionally.
    2. Real cheese. I like all kinds of interesting cheeses and still buy them, just try to limit them to 1-2 ounces a day. My current favorite is Old Croc Australian Extra Sharp Cheddar--a tiny bit goes a long way in taste.
    3. Keeping with the cheese theme--real homemade mac and cheese on occasion. This is a HUGE indulgence, though--real cheese, real milk, real butter, breadcrumbs, the works. Don't do this one very often.
    4. Cake--I can resist crappy supermarket cakes, but real bakery cakes with lots of buttercream icing. Again, another HUGE indulgence so only a few times a year.

    Can't give up my latte! One or two a day (nonfat milk and no sugar). But still can't go on with my day without it!
