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

Cheeses are a big downfall of mine (Feta, Parmesan, Gruyere, Sharp Cheddar, etc) and butter. I will NOT give up butter. I may cut back on it, but there is no way in hell I will give it up or switch to margarine!! And bacon. As long as I am not around bacon I am ok, but if I catch a whiff...you know that Beggin Strips commercial..."IT'S BACON!!"

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.

Amen Sistah!

Gold fish! (Extra cheesy/ extra cheesy & pretzel one) omg. so good lol!

And if your trying to cut back on those two mcdonalds cheeburgers you should watch movies about whats in their food or watch super size me or something. I use to LOVE McDonalds but now, I feel like throwing up thinking about it!

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!!!!!

AMEN! I won't give in on the salad dressings. Fat free Ranch and Thousand Island is disgusting! I do like the reduced fat Paul Newman Sesame Ginger, though. But ranch? Pfft...buttermilk whole fat ranch or forget it!

well i dont give up anything i just don't like it anymore....but Alcohol, i love to gets my drink on :drinker:

Much agreed. . That is my soft spot as well!

Oh man, there are so many. I have learned the hard way that by cutting things I love out all together is a sure fire way to diet failure. In the past if it didn't fit the diet plan I was on or just didn't fit the mind set of what I thought of as healthy I tried to avoid it at all cost, by the time I went of the diet I was chowing down on the stuff I missed so much, I can only imagine how fast I put back on the 15 pounds I had lost (not to mention the extra 10). That why I love this site and the simple method used to count calories. I fit something special in almost every day. I make sure I eat healthy enough throughout the rest of the day to make up for it but I almost always have something special for dessert (like my choco taco tonight) or something a little sinful during the day like that two cheeseburger meal you mention, although my poison is the McDouble. It has taken a few years but I am finally getting that everything in moderation doesn't mean small amounts of bad food all day every day, but that you can still enjoy some of the things that I have spent the last 15 years either eating all the time or not at all once and a while.

I watched Supersize Me and it just made me want a Filet-o-Fish.

Fat Head is a good counter to that. I believe that nothing that I eat is really that bad if I'm not exceeding calories.

Oh too funny, My English teacher in college made us watch Super Size Me one night, at this moment I can't remember what the point was. I just sat there the whole time, as the fattest girl in the room, on one hand embarrassed, and on the other hand hungry But seriously, I wanted to say, oh come on, I'm the biggest person in here and even I would never eat from McDonalds three meals a day. How stupid. Even when I'm not trying to eat healthy I would typically get a Mcdouble, Apple Dippers (best thing they ever added and a sweet tea. Now yes, the sweet tea is off limits for the most part now (still grab a sip here and there when I can) but I still get the occasional Mcdouble and I do the apple dippers alllll the time. I really don't think most people are overweight because they eat fast food day in day out and nothing else. Its a major player but not the only one.

OMG. THIS!!!!!

I will never give up eating the skin on roasted chicken. But really I haven't given up anything, I just make sure to eat a smaller portion or make sure I can fit it into my calories. The main difference is that food like that are splurges and occasional indulgences, not regular choices.

brownie sundae.. i just had one yesterday DELISH!!! ALL in moderation tho lol

I've cut way back on all of them, but haven't really "given up" on any. I'm just using common sense now.
