[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote][quote][quote]Greek yogurt with fruit is not dessert.[/quote]

Well, for thin women in shape, Greek yogurt with fruit is desert. It's not about starving or constantly exercising. It is about being conscious about what you eat.

I am in a great shape and basically the same weight since high school (size XS), and eat a very healthy diet without counting calories. But yes, I rarely have a "traditional dessert" (ice cream, cake, pastry, etc.). I do love dark chocolate and have some daily. Also, a glass (or two) of red wine. Also almost daily.[/quote]

not true - i'm thin and in decent shape and do not consider yogurt with fruit a dessert. i consider ice cream, cookies, cake, pie, etc dessert. i know it's not healthy, but everything in moderation right? i don't think it's healthy to think too much about what you eat.[/quote]

+10!  There seems to be such an extreme puritanical approach here to eating "well."  I am thin (well generally, I am still a couple pounds up postpartum), as is my whole family, and we eat dessert regularly.  But that means baking some cookies every other week, or occasional birthday cake, or half a doughnut at a staff mtg at work.  There is no reason you can not enjoy eating.  You just can't have a huge dessert or eat dessert all of the time.  Or heck, if you do have a massive piece of cheesecake - you simply just eat light your next meal!  Not rocket science.[/quote]

This is where I think genes do matter. I more or less eat the way you do, and I'm thin, so I get where you're coming from. BUT I have many female friends who struggle with their weight who say they will immediately pack on lbs. if they deviate from their rigid diets for even one meal. Like, they can have a BITE of cheesecake, not the whole slice or they will pay for it on the scale the next day.[/quote]
