good food is heavenly, we all agree in that. a basic meal contains of the appetizer, the main course and the dessert. but a lot of women (and some men, admit it) are passing up on dessert because they want to maintain their slim figure or manage their weight.
but sometimes desserts are so tempting that saying no thanks is a very hard thing to do.
so what do you do when presented with a sweet platter? do you look away or take a sinful bite?

my family have this tradition of having dessert after every sqaue meal. my mom just cannot do without it!! my sister just has to devor anything sweet after meals. however, i am very choosy, in a way good for me, regarding desserts. i prefer some homemade typical indian dishes, namely Gajar ka halwa made wity carrot.

By the time I usually get to that point I am so full I don't have room for it anymore! Sometimes I eat less for my main meal so that way I have room for something sweet!

No I don't. I wont miss out on desserts for anything. I have a rather gluttonous approach to my meals and I rather enjoy it. I check out what's on the menu for lunch or dinner especially on an invite and then depending on the desserts on offer I compromise on the main course. I wish not many follow me as I do tend to put on a lot of weight in the process.

I don't really pass up on dessert because I just love them no matter what. LOL! I really have a sweet tooth that I have to have sweets all the time. As much as I try to be careful and limit the sweets, I would always take on desserts be it cakes or fruits.

I am not that much to dessert. It is not like that that I don't eat or I don't like desserts, but I don't eat that much. Actually it depends, if I am already full after a meal then I don't enjoy the dessert. SO, I avoid taking them at that time. In other time I do eat desserts and also enjoy them. The main point is I can easily pass up on dessert. All in all I prefer salty snack and other food to eat.

I almost always will take the dessert. As of late I have been trying to cut back though. I'm starting to get agut and would like to stay in shape. (Not exercising does not help) But I'm trying to only have one dessert per day. On top of that I should have one day a week with out a dessert. Like I said though, I am trying...

It depends. If I am having a meal at the restaurant, I might just go ahead and indulge myself. Otherwise, I would normally refrain since it is fattening. :P

for me, no...
i guess i can skip the main course, but definately not the dessert...
i have got a sweet tooth and im willing to starve for the dessert...
unless definately, the dessert does not seemed appealing enough...
for me, anything chocolatey will definately be fine...
=)

we never have that kind of meal set up we never have an appetizer or desert just the main corse so if go someplace to eat like to a friends and if they offer desert i will most definitly eat it. If i go out to resturant i will think about getting a desert but they are always so costly that i always pass on them there. But yes definitly eat desert.

I never pass up on dessert even when I'm already full. I love sweets especially chocolate, so if the dessert is chocolate, I lose myself and pig out lol ^_^

I usually pass on the dessert. If we are in a restaurant then I'm usually so full that I don't feel like I can eat dessert. But if we are at someone's house and they have dessert then I'll sometimes eat a very small piece.

Usually when we eat out, we always pass on the dessert because I am full and I have to get a to go box. The restaurants nowadays serves their food in big plates or bowl that I think it can feed 2 people. Plus, they give you unlimited bread or salad, by the time your meal arrive, you will be full.
But if we eat at Cheesecake Factory, I will share a cheesecake with my husband and that it is. Their cheesecakes are too good to pass up.

I don't really like sweets that much so it isn't hard for me to pass on dessert. Every now and then I want something chocolatey and fattening but I would rather eat food food over dessert =)

Dessert is the one thing I just cannot pass up on. I don't have a sweet tooth per se, but desserts are my downfall, especially cheesecake!
I'm trying to lose weight and tone up at the moment, but I don't know if I'll ever be slim slim, because desserts are just tooo good lol.
