I watched my diet and exercised all my young life. I got cancer. I
survived. I decided at that point, I was not going to deny myself what I
enjoyed. I try to stay in my normal weight range, I don't like to buy
clothes. But I don't hesitate to eat gravy if it's offered. I just don't
eat it ALL.
That said, if, like Kate, the foods I love made me FEEL bad, I wouldn't eat
them. I don't mind the dying so much as the being sick.
OTOH, I have a favorite Aunt and Uncle who will not eat anything that is not
good for them. They are in their 80's! They are VERY healthy and I have no
doubt that their lifelong diets and exercise have contributed to their well
being, but come on! Have a piece or 12 of pie! It's good! They drive me
crazy.

I rarely deny myself good eats. I bake a lot and guess I
just choose truly wonderful 'bad' foods that are not good
for you. I know what I put into my home baked goods.
They are top notch and worth eating. ; ) I really never
in my life have been on a diet. We have cut fat around
here though. I think I just use donuts as the line in the
sand at what just has no redeeming value for me. I
never feel great after eating them but actually the
eating the really great part. Lunch today is going to
be berry cobbler made by me with home grown berries.
Now that is good eats! A friend is on nutrisystem right
now and keeps threatening to come over and eat some
of my treats as her 'cheat'. I am proud. : )

I prefer the Weight Watchers way: treats not cheats or sins.
MOST of the time I cook the WW way, and adapt things to suit my low
wheat/almost zero fat/low sugar way of cooking chicken 9 million
different ways. It's not so much that as the limited coffee, zero red
wine, low beer intake, no red meat, no full fat cheese thing that gets me...

Kate, this friend lost a lot of weight on WW. Actually she
has lost weight on lots of diets but I wonder if she ever
really learned how to eat properly. I can't help but wonder
how folks go from diet to diet to diet and in the long run
continue to gain after every go round. A diet seems to
set folks up for failure. The ww way is more of a change
of lifestyle. That for the long haul seems the way to go.
I have been lucky with weight most of my life. I have
a lot of nervous energy that seems to burn lots of calories.

Me, too! Until about 5 years ago, I weighed within 10 pounds of what I
weighed most of my adult life. Even after I quit smoking almost 7 years ago,
I didn't gain a pound for at least a year.
Then it started creeping up. Then I hit 50 and gained about 30 pounds, well
it seemed like overnight, but it could have been longer. I blame sweat pants
and working from home. No need to get into dress clothes for the office any
more.
I've slowly gotten rid of most of it. My waist will never be the same
again, I don't care how much I lose.
I need more stress in my life, I don't eat when I'm busy or upset. After a
lifetime of burning off everything I eat because I was like a buzzsaw, I am
now more mellow and laid back. Not much bothers me. Of course, I didn't have
the patience to quilt in my previous life.
