    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!

    I won't give up any cheese or pizza. I just eat only two slices instead of my normal 6 slices that fill be up. Yes, big appetite.

    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 go give up my icecream! Its even better now that I got a new icecream maker. I don't make it often but when I do its with heavy cream and 1/2 & 1/2! Its my splurge :smile:

    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.)
