    Congrats on this goal if giving up junk food is what you strive to live with, however i like my junk food lol

    I like junk food too but for me it is so lacking in satiety that I'd have to eat minuscule amounts of it in order to stay in a calorie deficit. Also, after I stopped eating it for a while my taste buds changed and when I did eat various junk foods I found them too salty, sweet, or artificial-tasting.

    I've found that if you give up or greatly limit junk food (whatever your definition) and especially if you exercise, after a bit you really don't want to live with junk food.

    I think it's a very subjective topic, I cut down on my "junk" food and exercise regularly but I still enjoy pizza, pringles, etc on the rare occasion that I do have them.

    Oh for sure, I do too. However, if I eat this type of stuff a couple days in a row I feel like crap. About once a week is good for me.

    I don't label food and just eat what I like, but congrats OP on making a goal to work towards and then nailing it :)

    I have found so many "new" foods that I really enjoy. I like hard boiled eggs, I also enjoy popcorn, and Pomegrante seeds, fresh fish, quinoa, lol...all kinds of new stuff, it has become kind of fun

    I love hard boiled eggs with a small amount of something salty and carby as a snack :)

    Going to go make some right now.

    Pomegrante seeds

    PLEASE explain to me how to buy a ripe pomegrante and how to eat it. My kids want to try these so bad! Okay, I would too. LOL But I hate buying stuff that isn't ripe and ends up nasty. And how on earth do you eat the seeds????? I'm envisioning them being very hard.

    Good for you!

    I have completely given up all junk and processed food but I significantly cut back and quit fast food except Panera and Chipotle. I decided to have a sugary treat the other day and not only was it too sweet but I got sick over it too.

    However I will occasionally enjoy one cookie.

    I think so many things taste super salty now! Even my Diet Coke addiction (lol) has pretty much gone away!
    I love Coke so hopefully my addiction goes away too ... like I said it's only been a month but I'm feel ok with out it.
