    Like a lot of the other posters said, I haven't given up anything 'forever' because I'm interested in making a lifestyle change not being on a diet just to see temporary changes.. so I've just learned to portion my food now and can have everything I like but according to serving size, etc. :). But the three things I would NEVER compromise on are Ferrero Rochers, Rice Krispie Treats and Buffalo Wild Wings Samplers (like once a year for the last one lol). This thread is making me so hungry!

    Cheese.

    Real, full fat, tasty, yummy cheese. But I do weigh out my portions and work it into my calories.

    I haven't cut anything out exactly, I have just learned to live by the 80/20 rule...with a 20% room for error (or cheats! lol). This leaves my weekends open to have a piece of pizza, or some drinks with the girls.

    Plus, as long as you are living by the 3M's...then you are pretty good... Motivation, Moderation and Movement!

    lol I can eat 6 slices or more as well... it's kinda gross when I think about how I used to eat compared to how I look at food now.. and I feel so blessed that I've learned how to moderate food now (except for the occasional cheats of course lol).. but good luck with your goals girl and keep up the good work! :)

    The only thing I refuse to give up is my whole milk. I'll "compromise" with myself, I suppose, and I started buying almond milk, but I still buy whole milk, just organic. So, I have a bit less of the whole milk, but I REFUSE to switch to any of the 2 percent crap. I grew up drinking that **** and I hate it.


    Oh, and carbs. A lot of people have told me I eat too many carbs, but you know what happened the other day when I cut back? I had a blood sugar crash. Went into the 40s (should be in the 80s). Know what I did to fix it? ATE SOME ****IN' CARBS! Had a nice little croissant and guess what? 45 minutes later my sugar was right where it should be. SUCK ON THAT.

    I refuse to give up anything. Eating in moderation, and not eating a bunch of unhealthy foods is all I need to do. Some people might need to eliminate foods from their diets, but honestly in my opinion I feel that taking away something completely is why most diets fail. :|

    my coffee with cream and sugar... hate the no cal sugar subs.... and I will not buy low or no fat cottage cheese! 2% or the 4% cuz I want it to taste good, I'd rather have 1/2 or 1/4 and enjoy it than to eat more and hate it... :)

    I'm still a cheesaholic - and now if I eat it, I eat the good stuff. I will splurge for the cabot cheddar over kraft, etc... Why waste calories on crappy food?

    I'm from VT, so I love all VT products (like real maple syrup, Cabot products, Ben and Jerry's, etc). I was lucky enough to find sharp Cabot cheddar here when I moved, so I always buy that (it's what I ate back home!). My boyfriend (who does not live with me and does not buy my groceries) doesn't understand what makes Cabot special. "You should just get the cheapest one. Isn't it just like any other cheese?"

    No.

    THIS!! Native Vermonter with a resounding yes.

    Flavour!

    There's a lot written on the MFP-message boards about food and nutrition but so few folks ever mention about something tasting fantastic. :tongue:

    I love food and for me there is no compromise to good food. I'd rather have a side plate of my favourite foods than a bucket os some so-called healthy fodder that tastes like wet cardboard or straw.

    This too! I ONLY eat what tastes good. I do like a lot of healthy food, so that's good, but I won't eat tasteless oatmeal and dry toast for breakfast for the sake of "eating healthy". Instead I'll have what I had this morning, all of which is healthy and delicious! (scrambled eggs with sauteed bell pepper, a bowl of mini wheats with almond milk, half a broiled grapefruit with truvia, v8 juice, and a piece of wheat toast to eat the eggs on.)

    butter and chocolate got me fat to begin with.. ive had it in the past two years but rarely. i guess it all boils down to what your goals are and what you are willing to do to reach them.. i never thought i could give up condiments the way i did. ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise , salad dressings and relish... i can count the times on one hand i had that last year ..who wouldve ever thought i could survive that??? i smothered all my food with unhealthy condiments. salad dressing i gave up two years ago when i started this journey and never looked back. people think im crazy when i tell them i dont eat salad dressing on my salad but ive actually acquired a taste for raw salad now. at fitness camp last year they wouldnt allow for condiments except pepper and franks hot sauce. i have no clue about the hot sauce but i put it on my food now since and i do not use the other condiments any more. what a difference in the way i feel.

    if i could eat butter without having to be fat or unhealthy id eat it till the cows come home..nothng better than a ton of butter slapped all over warm bread or a baked potato. i actually eat baked potatos plain now only because im trying to reach my weight loss goal.

    In eat anything I want along as I'm within my calorie range of 1,200 then I'll have what I want. I could never give chocolate up. Everything in moderation I say xx

    I agree on the coffee. No splenda (yuck!) or artificial sweetners. Must have sugar and cream. I am ok with Nutrasweet in things like Coke Zero but anythng flavored with splenda and I will just do without.

    Funny, my uncompromising goes the other way.

    I absolutely will not touch a fast-food burger or fries. Have zero interest in anything with MSG, HFCS, aspertame or nitrites in it. MSG and aspertame give me migraines and I can smell the nitrites in meat /retch.

    If I'm going to go all out with the calories and fat, it will be for something luxurious and it won't give me a horrible headache or stomach ache.

    I don't have any foods that are off limits, but that are in moderation.

    that being said - I will not give up cheese. I'll sacrifice other stuff for cheese. I love the stuff.

    From reading this - you're making me want to switch back to really butter. (I used the Smart Balance "butter spread in tubs and sticks). My husband hates it and wants me to switch back, but I've used it for a long time and I do it because his family has a history of high blood pressure and cholesterol (mine does too, but usually past 50).

    Would butter be better because it's more natural or in this case, should I stick with the Smart Balance (chemical butter, I'm betting).

    When it comes to food, I eat anything and everything so long as it fits within my daily calorie goal.
    I value being fit more than I desire certain treats, so I do not see that as a compromise. Today I went to McDonald's and ate the Big Breakfast with 2 extra orders of hash browns - TAKE THAT FOOD NAZI's

    I

    When I first started watching my calories there were things I refused to give up. Over time, I've decided that those things were no longer important.
