I don't miss anything as I eat whatever it is I want. However, a part of me kinda misses not seeing a problem with having donuts for breakfast, patties for lunch and pizza for dinner multiple times a week. Those were some good times.7

I miss eating delicious greasy double cheese pizza, with side order of nachos or/and onion rings, followed by pint of ben&jerrys and not thinking about it twice. I definitely don't miss how I felt after this and on the next day. Definitely not worth it.3

I still eat most of the "bad" stuff...but it's more occasional than it used to be...I just eat less of that stuff so it's not really substantive to my diet as a whole.2

Your user name f**king rocks. Reminds me of a donut.2 -
I eat the same food just appropriate portions so don't miss anything.
Obviously I used to overeat but a 6" sub vs. a 12" sub of my favorite combo is still tasty.

At first, when I was running a larger deficit, it was steak. I had some but not much. Now, it is a regular again. About the only thing I still find tempting is fried chicken when I roll past a Chick-fil-A, Chicken Express, or Golden Chick.0

I find the childhood junk doesn't live up to the memory. I tried Captn Crunch as an adult and yuck, too sweet. I found Corn Bran to be a decent adult substitute.
Similarly I like chocolate wafer cookies as an adult better than the Oreos.

I get all the cheese taste with a fraction of the calories by switching to extra sharp extra old cheese, grating finer, and using a fraction of what is called for.1 -
Never give up any food . Fit it in.2

All these peeps on MFP are good at moderation apparently. I pretty much can't bring most calorie dense, fatty, high carb foods into the house. I'll indulge at a nice restaurant, or with freshly baked goods/a nice bakery. I'll get something with peanut butter out for dessert, but for the most part-I eat things that are low calorie, in high volume. You can trust there is no peanut butter in my cupboard or block of cheddar in my refrigerator.
That said, I miss eating large amounts of all the cookies, pizza, ice cream, and chips.12 -
I haven't stopped eating anything I like, just less of it. I think I'm the only person I know who doesn't like pizza lol3

Worst post ever. Now I want all of these foods.2
-
- spoonful after spoonful of Reduced Fat Jiff peanut butter
- Homemade fudge
- Chicken and nuggets with fries and ketchup in huge quantities
- Pizza AND cheesesticks in one meal
- Funnel cakes
- Deep fried anything and everything
- Ice cream made with real cream
- Gum that's not sugar free
- Twix bars
For me, it's easier just not to eat them than it is to eat them in moderation. "Moderation" just makes me sad for not being able to eat with excess. If I don't ever start, then the craving eventually passes. Plus, milk makes my digestive system revolt, so I have to et dairy-free now.2 -
Sweetened condensed milk. I used to eat cans of it by the spoonful
Yes! I really miss eating it right out of the can because it would be a shame to eat one spoonful and throw the rest away or have it sit there opened and taunting me (opened food packages have some sort of magic that forces you to keep coming back, I swear!). Since I haven't found a single serve pack of that yet, it's limited to these beautiful cookies we make for Christmas filled with caramelized sweetened condensed milk.

There's different kinds of moderation though. I haven't dared making a cheesecake at home because I know that I won't be able to moderate it... but a piece of cheesecake at a restaurant once in a while? Sure. That's moderation too.
I'm just saying you don't have to ban anything... just have less of them, whether it's a couple bites only (which is hard for me to do for some things too) or just indulge in a bigger portion once in a while.
Seriously life is too short IMO to ban foods that you clearly love for vanity reason - obviously not medical reason. But I also workout so I can fit higher calorie stuff, otherwise... yeah it would be pretty miserable.5 -
Everything that I miss, I miss because it has gluten and I can't eat it anymore thanks to celiac disease.
French baguettes
Really good pizza
Philadelphia pretzels
Croissants
A tomato cheese sandwich on a kaiser roll
Anything else that I really want, I just have when the mood strikes me.
I'm in a phase where I'm not good at moderating, so I don't keep stuff around. I plan a stuff my face event by banking calories and indulge then go on with my life.2 -
i had a pb and fluff sandwhich for a snack, had a couple twix minis and other stuff. im in a deficit.3
-
I get it op sometimes there are things you are not great at moderating or are just not worth trying to fit into your calories so you don't eat it as much as you wish you could3
-
Vodka
Tequila
Wine... Actually, part of the problem is that I haven't stopped "missing" them, and quantity matters. Then there's the snacking with the stuff.0 -
Fried Chicken, Biscuits and Gravy, Tempura, Western Cinnamon Rolls, Foie Gras, French Fries, Tater Tots, Hash Browns, Philly Cheese Steak...1
