What "bad" foods do you refuse to give up?

I thought about this today while I ate a McDonald's two cheeseburger meal...

There are many foods I try to avoid now that I'm counting calories, but there are certain things I will work into my diet anyway because I just love it so much.

What are your guilty pleasure foods that you find a way to eat even while trying to lose weight?

    I refuse to give up anything!!

    I work it off, or enjoy a smaller portion. I couldn't possibly keep up anything forever if it meant I couldn't eat what I enjoy.

    I eat ice cream almost every day. (But I work it into my calories and I have cut down my portions)

    I don't deny myself anything. I just make sure to account for every calorie and plan accordingly. I have a dark chocolate Riesen candy just about every afternoon- just a bit of chocolate for 43 calories. I know that if I cut EVERYthing I love out of my daily eating I'll be more tempted to over eat.

    Pizza - but now we make homemade crust and sauce, top with low-fat cheese and canadian bacon. My husband got a sourdough starter and makes a great crust. We grow our own tomatoes and make our pasta/pizza sauce. (this year I have 90 tomato plants) I actually don't eat frozen pizza any longer and rarely eat pizza from takeout places. Before MFP we had pizza 3-4 nights a week. Now we have it on Friday night, and knowing that I have that meal coming keeps me from eating it all the other nights.

    I make an exception to have real half & half and real sugar in my 1 cup of coffee in the morning. I tried alternatives and it just doesn't taste as good. Also, I have a regular Coke once in awhile. Other than that -- there's not too much I "need" to have. If I want it, I indulge but I don't go overboard. And since I have ZERO control with donuts, I just avoid them altogether!!

    a great ice cream i have found that doesnt taste like diet ice cream is the breyers carb smart ice cream one cup for the same cal count as 1/2 cup of the non carb smart type..however my guilty pleasure is ranch dressing, i eat reanch dressing on everything and i have tried the Fat Free will never do that again and i tried to make myself like the light, i flat out refuse i will just work extra hard and eat less of everything else to eat my ranch dressing!!!!! and it has to be hidden valley or mazzios ranch dressing!!!! i have gotten really good at keeping it to the serving size of 2tbs but i usually use 3 which is a huge sucess from a half a bottle a day heheeh!!!

    I haven't given up anything really. If I crave something, I will eat it in moderation, work it into my caloric intake for the day, and/or exercise a little more to burn it off.

    There are somethings that I don't eat because I don't find it worth the caloric expenditure.

    I agree with the poster who said there is nothing she wouldn't give up to lose weight. However... I loooove chocolate and every now and then I'll treat myself. If my weigh program is working like a clock and I am moving toward my goal I may on rare occasion get a small candy bar. But every morning with my coffee, I add a bit of 1% lowfat milk and a teaspoon or two of no-sugar-added Nesquik to make a low-cal mocha. Yum!

    I am not giving up anything that I like...I just have "bad stuff" infrequently or have a smaller portion!

    mmmmm Lindt dark chili chocolate.

    But I maintain that a little dark chocolate is good for you :)

    Everything else can go.
