What is your favorite food?
I don't think Taco Bell is "bad". I don't like to think of any food being "bad". I want to banish that way of thinking forever! I'd rather look at it like, foods that I should eat a lot of and foods that I should eat rarely if ever...but it's all food.
Most of the fat in the Taco Salad from TB is in the shell, right? Maybe a little in the meat mixture, but think of how much less fat you are getting now compared to pre-WLS. This is JMO, but you can eat a little fat once in awhile!
That being said, I no longer have a favorite food.
(after I said all of that!) One day I'll eat something and it will sit ok, then the next time it's
...so who knows?!

I think totally differently than you do. I got fat from eating 'bad' food. I thought it was all food, some just tasted better than other. Now I know the difference. I stay away from high fat and carbs. I look forawrd to treating myself, but I wouldn't lose any weight if I ate a taco salad everyday for lunch.
I'm teaching my kids the difference between healthy food and unhealthy food now too, and I think it will help them make better decisions as adults.
What works for you, may not work for me and vise versa.
Nothing is forbidden in terms of food in my home as that is how things were when I was a child...and as a result, my brother and I learned to sneak and horde food. I refuse to have my kids grow up that way.
I'm a good parent too, I just do things differently.
