[quote=Anonymous]I’m similar and I’ve decided I’d rather just be slightly overweight than give up the things I love.   I do “save” calories by not eating crap that isn’t really good — for instance, there’s really no good lunch options near my office so I just eat really healthy for lunch rather than get a crappy tuna salad sandwich or whatever. 
But I am concerned for you that things you list seem like mostly really unhealthy takeout food with high sodium and saturated fats.  That’s not great.  I cook a lot so will make delicious meals that have lots of vegetables but also have carbs and fat and flavor.  It really is easy to learn to cook at home and then you will be able to figure out what substitutions work for you — last night I made a great new recipe and used olive oil instead of butter because I decided the butter taste would not show in that recipe.  It was delicious.  
I also eat pastry all the time but I mostly home cook them.  At least that way you avoid a lot of the preservatives and some of the industrial fats, and actually see how much sugar you are using.  For me, it makes it easier to decide what’s “worth it.”  Some cakes are equally delicious with half the sugar — it just really depends on the recipe and if you are cooking it yourself you can make those judgement calls.[/quote]
