Fast food I eat... junk food, not so much any more.
I used to eat TONS of junk food. Sugary sodas, honey buns, snickers, peanut buttercups, whatever. Once I got over 18 though, and stopped doing so much physical activity (from sports and such), it started to show and I threw on a little bit of weight. When i cut them out, I lost most of it.
I drink a lot of diet coke (I drank this even when I ate junk food, cause I like the taste), water, and some sweet tea (maybe 1/10th of the amount of how much I would usually drink growing up)
I do probably eat too much bread. I really enjoy bread. I used to eat fast food 2x a day at least, now maybe 3 times a week.
I do enjoy a meal that includes a desert, but I don't eat them often. High quality vanilla ice cream, over warm apple pie or a hot fudge cake is an excellent treat. Fresh baked cookies are a winner too.
I used to splurge, but I really do not anymore. I didn't cut everything out either, I just figured that moderation was key. I can have all of the same stuff I used to eat, but in very much smaller amounts of it. For instance, if I do eat a snickers bar nowadays, it's just one of those little bitty bite sized ones, and even that is a rare treat rather than a common thing.
It's very respectable, sc7, that you are so much about your health, but you are missing much of the joys of life with your strict regiment. Like I said before, abstinence is not the answer, moderation is key. What is the point of living long if you can't enjoy it?
BTW, this thread made me go dig the chocolate chip gelato out of the fridge. I have a small 8oz container and I've been working on it slowly for at least a month now, to give you an instance of how I minimize the damage that these junk foods can do
