    I've not given up anything entirely, but I've drastically cut down my pasta, rice and potatoes. I have 1/2 cup of rice once a week and I think I've had pasta twice since January. I'm not sure if I've had potatoes or not, but I plan to on Thanksgiving!

    Carbs are not my friend. I do better when I limit them.

    I gave up close to 2,000 calories from my daily diet, the authority to eat large pizzas all by myself, eating like a bulking bodybuilder without lifting, eating like a swimmer without swimming, and about 6-7 hours of my week to workout. And it is WORTH it!

    I did let soda go, even the diet stuff. Everything else I just have in moderation.

    Soda...I started introducing diet back after about 2 years, but it's a once in a blue moon type thing.

    French Fries (when getting sandwiches at restaurants). It just reduced the calories I was eating before I started counting religiously.

    Fried foods in general. Again, I'll have them now, but it's once in a blue moon.

    I gave mine up for a Twinkie and a Ho Ho. Clearly I should have held out for the meat.

    French fries.

    I've also just started making different decisions about what I choose from menus and stuff. Like, I'll order a turkey or veggie burger instead of fries and chicken tenders. Stuff like that.

    Also, huge portions of baked ziti (woe is me) and consuming several slices of pizza at a time.

    Diet Soda (I still have flavored water)
    A lot of pasta (I still have pasta every now & then, but not a lot like I used to)
    Cake/Brownies (this is probably one of the foods that was hard for me to moderate)
