What Food is the Most Tempting When You Are Dieting?
 
I started a diet two weeks before Thanksgiving and have lost 14 pounds so far. If I hadn't started then, I would have gained 14 pounds instead.

My office is right outside of the kitchen door where they put all of the goodies that clients and vendors give to us. I have to see it every time I leave the office for anything. The smell is torture. I gave in to temptation yesterday and ate some candy, cookies, cheese, and salami. At least I didn't continue eating off of the diet when I got home.

I've decided that the cookies are the most dangerous. They taste so good and are easy to grab and consume quickly.

New mottos: If it tastes good, spit it out... and healthy eating requires time to prepare and chew.

I don't diet but try to eat healthy foods instead. I would say my greatest weakness are carbs.

Don't disrepair, many dieters strive to keep a constant weight through the holidays, so you should be celebrating your achievement! Best wishes on your voyage to the new and healthier you.

Any thing with sugar in it and hard for me especially if it has chocolate in it!

Carbs are my downfall and I love to bake bread.

The kind that we eat....:-0

You lost weight over the holidays that ia a giant win for you! When I am really watching what I eat I stay away from processed food. I limit them all the time but when I'm going for weight loss I eliminate them so of course that is what I want.

My weakness is bread - biscuits, muffins, bagels . . . and cake is a form of bread, too. :D

I normally do the 'no flour/no sugar' thing. Works for me and I was very successful losing alot of weight following that plan. But there are times when you just have to succumb to both/either just to save your sanity. Great job on the weight loss!

Sweets of course, and fried foods, anything not on the diet.

Marshmallow is always my downfall!
