I tried “lite” blue cheese dressing tonight - never again!

I've been burned by "lite" blue cheese myself, only you're smarter than I am because I've done it more than once.

I am so damn happy I gave up nonfat stuff. I've always eaten standard mayonnaise. However, over the last eight or so years we started eating standard yogurt, whole milk, all the butter (and good stuff, too), and I'm never looking back. My father is stuck in the whole fat is evil thing, so he drinks 1% and looks down on the fact that I eat Juanita's chips, because they taste amazing ("You know they have a LOT more fat, don't you?!").

cheese is the big one for me.

I won't drink full fat milk. Or eat ice cream. I mean I shouldn't because I'm lactose intolerant but still.

I won’t give up my full fat French vanilla coffee creamer. I just use less now.
I eat light cheese whenever I can & yogurt, sour cream. I also like the half the fat mayonnaise.
I prefer light though vs no fat

Hard cheese (there is a specific brand of reduced fat cream cheese that I like), yogurt, Greek yogurt, and ice cream. Most dairy products, really. Reduced fat milk is fine for some reason, so that's what I drink. My full fat foods are very similar to yours. I can do low fat mayo, but only a specific brand that I can't always find. When I don't have it, I eat full fat mayo.

I eat these foods not because they're my cheat foods, but because if I didn't, I would feel like I'm wasting my (fewer) calories on something I don't enjoy as much. I dislike the feeling of wasting calories, so I only eat things that taste good to me. Same goes for cauliflower rice and any food imitations that don't work for me. I like artificial sweeteners in drinks (not baked goods), so that's what I use when I want to sweeten a drink and choose diet drinks when I buy them.

I don't stubbornly shun all things commonly called "diet foods" because "I refuse to diet" or something, I just eat what I like and don't eat what I don't like. If I like something that is lower in calories just the same, why not have it instead of the higher calorie alternative? When I make an omelet, removing a yolk in exchange for more cheese is a good deal calorie and taste-wise, so I do that. When I make sunny side up, all yolks stay because that's the best part.

Reduced far Peanut Butter. It doesn't actually have less calories than regular peanut butter. They just remove natural healthy fats and replace it with processed carb filler.

I won't drink skimmed (no fat) milk. I don't mind semi-skimmed (2%) (although I prefer whole 4%), but for me skimmed milk tastes like slightly odd water.
And I like proper butter, I don't mind spreadable versions, but I'm not going to low fat spreads. I'd rather less of the real stuff.

I am giving reduced fat cheddar a try, although it's 30% less fat, not really low, I know you can get 50% less fat ones.

The only reason we drink/use 1% milk is because I grew up in a 2% household and my husband grew up in a skim-milk home. This is our compromise.
