don't know about you, but while I like to look good and stay in shape, I find it can be a real struggle with all the delicious temptations all around me. I especially love stodgy, fatty treats like doughnuts. When I see them, honestly, it feels like they're calling out to me, begging me to just gobble them up! Do you face the same struggle? What's your guilty pleasure in terms of food? What do you do that helps you resist your favourite treats?

Fortunately, I’m not a sweet lover. My guilty pleasure is potato chips or popcorn. I love salt, which isn’t healthy. I myLot to resist them!

I used to be more about savoury snacks but seem to gravitate more towards the sweet ones as I get older. However, because I'm not one of those lucky people who can eat anything and not gain weight, I have to keep them to a minimum.

I like to stay in a good shape, not always sure if its a model shape, but its ones I like. I love sweet things especially chocolates, not overly fond of junk foods I stick to the healthy stuff - lots of water and lots of fresh fruit and veggies with some chocolate on the side

That sounds like me. I love food but equally love to stay in shape. I also hate diets. So I generally eat a healthy balanced diet and spoil myself with delicious treats from time to time. To keep the weight at bay, I work out twice a day - aerobics in the morning and jogging/power walking in the evening.

@Inlemay Wow, your hands full then! I love watching ballet but have sadly only ever seen a live show once. Gosh, you must be so fit - way to go!

@Lushlala i teach ballet to little girls twice a week at my daughter's ballet school, it helps keep me fit, I also play lawn bowls 4 times a week - well that was until lockdown started - luckily ballet classes start next week with one on one classes for the dancers that stayed true to our school.

Iced buns .. if I buy a pack of those mini buns I might eat the whole lot in one go (5). I feel disgusted with myself after though

I totally agree, Suny... shame I'm so lazy. However, I've been discussing options with a few friends because I now see I HAVE to join the gym. I love food so much I can't be doing with not eating my favourite food!

I too love shortbread and Eat Sum More biscuits because I really like shortbread biscuits. If you like Eat Sum More biscuits then you'd love the chocolate chip ones... just DIVINE!!!
