Foods you love, but abstain from...

Ice cream, hot wings, mexican food, chocolate pudding, pizza, cake, chips... can I stop now? I am addicted to food, and I am an emotional eater so whatever is with in arms reach is deadly!0

Nothing. I have very good willpower when I don't feel deprived. I *love* ice cream and actually do measure out 1/2 cup and say "no mas" when I'm done. The time I tried restricting my favorite foods backfired horribly (I now know what "binge" means). If I want something, I eat a reasonable portion and move on instead of torturing myself with thoughts of it.
This is great advice! And it's true. I have found that when I get a craving if I give in and have a normal serving I am fine, but if I try to fight it I end up eating everything I can get my hands on! Thank you for posting this0 -
I'd love to get that recipe from you!Before last week I would have said peanut sauce on anything. But I got some PB2 and developed an amazing thai peanut sauce recipe that totally satisfies my cravings at 45cal for 1/4 cup of sauce! Of course, I can't put it on pasta or rice like I used to, I put it on tofu noodles. Or dip whole wheat crackers in it. Or just my fingers!
PB2 Satay Sauce
makes 1.5 cups, 1/4 cup serving = 40cal!
1 box light silken tofu
1.5 T splenda
.5 t salt
3 T PB2
1 t red thai curry paste
1 t tumeric
1.5 t chili garlic paste
.5 t coconut extract0 -
Cheese cake & Thai yellow curry with chicken until I feel sick lol0
-
Doritos - Yes, the full on terrible-for-you-super-processed chips. I cannot not eat an entire 5-serving bag in one sitting :ohwell:
Cheetos - See above0 -
Chocolate chip cookies. I can never, ever have just one or two.0
-
I'm a total food 'ho. I abstain from nothing!0

Chocolate chip cookies. I can never, ever have just one or two.
YES!!! Along with oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, brownies with chocolate chunks, pecan pie, and blueberry crunch with vanilla Blue Bell ice cream on top. I'm a total sweet-a-holic. You can keep your pasta, chips, pizza, and alcohol... I'll be over at the dessert table with a huge plate!0 -
Oreos (although if I could buy a small package I would)
Margaritas (I sometimes have one at a restaurant, the price keeps me from getting more).0 -
I'm a total food 'ho. I abstain from nothing!
This. I refuse to allow myself to believe that I can NEVER have something that I love. I am keeping things in moderation and working out when I really want to splurge on something I love...
I worked out 3 miles two days in a row to make sure I could have as much sushi as I wanted (some of that stuff is laden with calories)0 -
I still eat these, but it's few and far between when I do;
Pizza
Sushi (I love tempura everything, and gyoza, and dynamite rolls oh my god *drool*)
Tacos (I could eat 4 or 5)
Chicken McNuggets (they are the only thing from McDonalds that I like)0 -
I am not a sweets or chocolate person at all.
I am a carb aholic!
I cannot quit eating:
French fries
Potato chips....particularly I can eat an entire bag of salt and vinegar0 -
Oh!!!! MY PEOPLE!!!!!!!I'm a total food 'ho. I abstain from nothing!
...I do make 'different' choices now instead of creamy white past and sauce, it's whole wheat and lots of veggies tomato with lean meat.0 -
Rice, rice, rice and yes even more rice. And of course the imfamous potatoes (any kind cooked any way)!0
-
Donuts
Nachos
Buffalo wings
Also pizza but I still eat that :happy: Donuts aren't worth it 'cause they're at least 300 calories each and the fat content is too high. Nachos have almost no nutritional value but I get the individual nachos from Taco Bell sometimes just because I crave them so much - but I have to stay away 'cause they're 400 calories for just the small one. Buffalo wings are fried and not worth it for about 90 calories PER wing. Pizza, however, is too delicious to not eat it.0 -
Baked goods from bakeries, Boba tea. Its not that I CAN'T have them but they are soooo many calories I just don't want to give calories up to them. a pastry or big cookie is like 400 calories - that would only leave me 1100 throughout the day to work with and I'm just not willing to eat low cal enough to support something like that. I'd rather leave the pesto mayo on my sandwich or get guacamole on my chipotle bowl. But I used to get a boba tea or a cookie after lunch FAAAAIRLY often - not ALL the time but often. Probably much too often. I expect to add them back into my diet when I am maintaining, just probably not every quite as often.0

I miss cherry garcia. but sugar makes my body so angry at me.0

Wine, fries, gummy bears. I can't resist these three items if they are in the house. I occasionally make fries in the oven and have a glass of merlot every once in a while. The gummies....they are NOT allowed in the house because I believe I could eat my weight in them. Lol.0

Okay, I admit it. This was spurred by another question on this thread about foods that you dont like. A few people answered Fried Chicken. (as you can see, its capitalized to signify its importance in MY life-lol) I cannot understand that. Fried Chicken wings are like a drug to me. I cant even LOOK at them, or I may wake up with grease on my face and bones across my chest wondering what happened!!
Whats your vice? What do avoid, even though you love it so?
:laugh: OMG - you are SO funny! I love FRIED CHICKEN as well, but I do indulge now and again or else I WILL end up with 'grease on my face and bones across my chest'!! Wow that just sounded so - dirty...walk of shame...I have to go take a shower now...:blushing:0 -

NUTELLA
I'm there with you! I had a tiny crumpet with Nutella on it for my birthday, and didn't even log it because I was too sad to see that not only had I a) eaten gluten [which I'm intolerant to], but also b) eaten clearly over 350 calories alone in Nutella!
Haven't had it since.0 -
Margaritas and Peanut Butter. But not together. Gross. Thinking about them together makes me not want them as much. What an unexpected bonus to answering this post!0

Try gummy vitamins - then u still get a taste (2 vitamins is an adult dose) but you'll know they are a medication and that will prevent over-taking them so to speak0 -
Cheesecake0

chips and salsa. If i go to a mexican restaurant I try and get black beans and a side of lettuce and eat that with salsa and hot sauce and feel good about it. But even 1 chip and I am done for, favorite food!! crunchy and spicy!0
-
Oreos with a blob of peanut butter! Oh my heaven!!
Also BBQ potato chips and Red Robin's Whiskey River BBQ Chicken Wrap with lots of steak fries dripping with ranch....
This thread is making me HUNGRY!!!0
