I wanted a cheeseburger today, so rather than torture myself, I had it....of course I skipped the fries, and the sugared soda.

There's nothing wrong with having a burger now and then. If I have them at home, I try to always use 90% lean beef. I think the key is not to necessarily give up the foods you like, but to find a healthier version of it, if at all possible.
I haven't done this in a long time, but I've even chopped up potatoes into wedges, cooked them in the microwave and then finished them off in the oven to crisp up a bit -- as a healthier alternative to fries. It's not the same, of course, but it's enough to keep me from feeling totally deprived.
MikeInPdx:
I've made fries that way before....they're not bad...not bad at all. Try putting them into a bag, add about a teaspoon of oil, and shake them up before you put them in to cook. Doesn't add a lot of fat, but it does add enough flavor back to make them very respectable...plus it's just enough for the seasonings you like to cling. :)

Down 3 lbs since last week's weigh in! O0
MikeInPdx:
Down 2 lbs....slowing down a little but still very acceptable.
