There are some frozen bagels I get from Whole Foods.  They are only 190 calories, low in sugar and high in fiber.  They even have some protein.  Not bad for breakfast.  So i would say I eat bagels fairly often.
It's all about the amount of calories. Moderation is key. I have a piece of chocolate (about 10 grams) every day. As long as the number of calories you consume is less than the amount of calories your body naturally burns plus workout calories... then you will lose weight. Obviously keeping junk food intake down is better for your health, and a certain number of calories worth of a healthy food will make you feel more full than the same amount of calories of junk food... I try to eat "clean" about 90% of the time.

I'm on a 1300 calorie diet and i dont have any cookies or chips really

I do eat wheat bagels for breakfast, and special k waffles (which are only 80 calories a piece), fat free frozen yogurt in place of ice cream, the occasional small piece of cake when my daily calorie count allows, and always let myself have one small piece of dark chocolate if i am craving it

As long as you have portion control on the high cal items, it shouldn't hurt you too much (I have lost about 15 lbs) plus denying yourself of all of it will drive you crazy and make you splurge when you get the chance

Oh!!!...I'm just curious....I know i'm having an eating issue (I'm working on it but sometimes, if I eat a bagel I still feel a lot of guilt but...I'm getting better) and I'm just curious about how often do you guys eat this stuff.
I, personally, don't eat beef and fried at my school is kinda...well....sucks. The ONLY thing that I'm craving for is cookies!!! (I don't really eat much of cookies when I was in my country but since cookies in USA is everywhere and so easy to buy so...i'm kinda.....craving for it) I don't really eat that much chips and I havn't eat pizza for months already so...thanks for all the replies. I'm just really curious...

I have a 100% whole wheat bagel and 2Tbsp of fat free cream cheese for breakfast once a week or so, 200 calories, but yummy and filling.  Pancakes are a little less often, more of a when-I'm-craving-yumyums breakfast.  I would consider oreos and dark chocolate a rare delicacy ;)  Just remember that there are healthy alternatives to all of those things.

I agree 100% with Andrea. It really is all about calories and moderation.

 I eat a bagel with processed cheese and lettuce every day for lunch and it totals to 300 calories. Not to mention it is very filling. I also like BreakTime cookies. Actully, I love them. 4 cookies = 140 calories!

I eat them whenever I really feel like it.

My rules are:

It is totally awesome

It is a single serving (a patisserie cookie, not a box of cookies)

I log it & incorporate it into my daily intake

I have bagles weekly. cookies, chocolate, and ice cream are an occasional thing....  the great thing about counting calories is there really arent rules on what you can eat, just how much of it.  if you leave extra calories in your daily intake for a treat, then by all means, indulge (but don't go crazy).
I do eat them but not too often, just like a cookie in a couple of days. But i think since their nutrition value is rather LOW, so i try to eat something else...e.g. granola cereal or apple crisps,

Dont feel guity dear if you eat something ''Unhealthy'', i used to feel that way but it is so bad for your mental health because you just keep wandering or worrying about what you have just eaten!

By the way you can get really healthy cookie from whole foods supermarket, i love the store so much
hi, charming! cookies are usually loaded w/bad fat and sugar. an occasional cookies seems innocent enough but, when foods are loaded w/bad fats and sugar it's often hard to limit yourself...they do not fill you up so you end up wanting MORE. 

Wish I could tell you of an alternative but now, the only cookies I eat are cookies we bake at home...using mainly ww flour, wheat germ, some brown sugar, dark choco chips, sprinkles...they are yum.

take care, charming! :  )

Every day but nothing like how I used to. For a while, I was eating tons of ice cream, cake and junk all day and then the only healthy thing I had was the meal I was given in the evening which even wasn't always healthy. Now I usually have about 1 or 2 different 'bad' foods a day but small amounts like 1 slice of cake or pie which sometimes is 300 cals but I can fit it in. Or 1 chocolate bar instead of 5! I don't actually eat chocolate all that often it's more cake that I seem to eat every day. No one will take that away from me!
I eat extra dark (88%) chocolate, for its antioxidant boost and superior flavor compared to milk chocolate or ordinary dark chocolate. I try to stay away from the other dessert foods you listed, but I eat homemade buckwheat pancakes and Kashi GoLean waffles occasionally.

I often have ice cream and dark chocolate...they can fit into your diet; just eat a little bit and not both every day.

I don't 'crave' the foods you mentioned anymore. Every once in a while someone will bring in a treat in my English class (a supposedly advanced class that likes cookies, ha) and I'll indulge. I thought after not having processed stuff like that, having a cookie would trigger some monster in me and I'd wolf down a plate. But after aving one, I usually can't take any more sugar.
Usually some type of sweet atleast once a day. My treat I just had was a small piece of angel food cake. Yesterday was 2 pieces of my sisters b-day cookie cake, and the day before that was a truffle, so on and so forth.
I cut bagels out of my diet without (much) regret when I found out just how many calories they have in them... I go easy on the bread in any form. But I couldn't live without my chocolate and cookies and icecream! I have at least one of the three every day, just in an appropriate serve (2 mini-kit kats or  four hershey's kisses, and a serve of icecream is 1/2 cup low-fat. etc.) You don't need to feel guilty about eating junk as long as it's only a small portion of your diet and you meet your basic nutritional needs with real food.
I eat dark chocolate occasionally, but only when my calorie allowance lets me, don't affect me as far as I can see, but it is mostly just a little piece or two...for sweets mostly I eat a little jello pudding snack

It depends whats around. For valentines day I made mini heart shaped cupcakes and flapjacks and ate them constantly but it did mean cutting down on other things. If I have a box of chocolates I eat more chocolate than usual for a while and then they're gone and I can eat healthily again. Probably NOT the best way! I've had a tub of strawberry cheesecake haagen daaz in the freezer for about 3 weeks now and have had about a teaspoon every other day when Im craving something sugary. If I bought a pack of bagels I'd eat one every day - maybe half for breakfast, half for a snack a bit later on until they're gone then I'd eat porridge for a few days or smoothies instead.

As long as I don't go completely overboard, it fits into my calories and Im still getting lots of fruit/veggies/protein Im not too bothered.

bagels I'm cool with, they keep me full for long amounts of time, longer than I should even.

Not cool with sweets...

If I eat just one piece of french toast with my eggs in the morning I'm doomed to crave more all day long and eat goodies where I'm not supposed to. And I always end up breaking at midnight and eating three bowls of some cereal or something. It just makes it overall harder for me to be in control of what and when I eat once I get a taste of the good life 

DAILY! And they haven't effected my weight loss and maintenance:

Cookies: 100 cal packs, or just stop at 1 cookie. Enjoy every bite of it.

Bagel: Western bagels makes a 110 calorie bagel. I mean, cmon! ;) They sell them at walmart

Cake: 100 cal packs? vitalicious.com makes a great muffin and they have a cake mix. 100 cals a serving

Chocolate (Dark): I eat chocolate daily. Hursheys makes 60 calorie chocolate stix. It's not sugar free or fat free, but it's portioned so you don't have to indulge in a whole bar.

Chips: 100 cal packs

Waffle or pancake: Special K makes a 80 calorie (per waffle) great great waffles

Ice cream: WW makes a good portioned out ice cream. Frozen yogurt is an alternative, and so is sorbet. Trader Joes sells an awesome 80 cals for 1/2 a cup sorbet.

Oreos: Okay so I don't eat oreos, but I know 100 cal packs has them.

Ritz: 100 cal packs makes ritz chips. so buttery, salty, and good (kinda hard to find)

Cheese: Cheese rocks. String cheese can be found at 50 cals a stick. If you want cheese on a taco or something, look for low fat or fat free cheese. 

Vuala!
