    I restricted everything when I'd started out prior to MFP. I prefer to stay just shy of my TDEE, which basically allows me to eat/drink whatever I want to.

    Only the foods I don't like.

    I made a decision when I started here that I was going to eat only foods I liked. I was not wasting my calories on foods I wasn't that keen about.

    I reached my goal a year ago, and have been maintaining since then. But to get my dream body, I probably need a tad more protein.

    I could have written this myself, except for the reaching goal weight part.

    Mashed potatoes because I hate mashed potatoes.

    I had to cut out wine and bread already. I have a food sensitivity to gluten & alcohol. I also rarely have cheese and cut way down on refined sugar (too addictive & calorie dense). I'd say that's pretty much all the good naughty foods already and I didn't just hypothetically cut them out! Hopefully once I get to maintenance mode I can indulge once in a while but for now I've got goals!

    None, I eat all the things.

    Right now I am bulking to get to my dream body so I definitely don't have to sacrifice anything, and then when I cut I just cut down portions and maybe an extra snack. Am I doing it wrong? ;)

    I decided some foods like saltine crackers were not worth the calories so I don't eat them as much.
    I decided to use my calories for food instead of drinks but I mostly drank water anyway.
    I don't think of these minor changes as a sacrafice. I'm eating pretty much all the same stuff.
    If I can't eat normal food then I will happily stay overweight. I don't think that is necessary though.

    Well, I love so many different foods that if it was literally as easy as just giving up any one specific food forever and doing nothing else, and having my dream bod...I'd give up any one food. But that's just not reality, lol.

    This for me too... Except I'm not bulking. I'm breastfeeding.

    I already sacrificed all the foods I'm willing to let go. My weakness is fruit (which I deem as acceptable thanks to the fiber) and cereal (Fruity Pebbles steal my heart). I rarely crave super sweets like cakes, cookies, ice cream, but when I do I let myself give in like once or twice a month.

    I give up nothing! Just eat less of it or less often.

    Nothing to give up. It's all in how much and how often, some days you get more treats than others, and you always KNOW you can have more next time!!!! No depriving. Depriving is what makes all the fad diets fail! Although you learn from all the years of failure as they are merely 10,000 ways that didn't work just like Thomas Edison and the light bulb!! haha.

    I would give up bread in a hot minute if there was a magical trade off that took away my stretched stomach skin. It's something I like (bread) but I would not find it hard to live without.
