    Quote: "Alcohol was the second one. No more empty calories and drinks that led to lowered inhibitions and then to desserts."

    Amen to this! For me it always leads to pasta... mounds of it. I won't say I'll never touch it again, because I know I will, but while I'm in active weight loss I absolutely must keep it to a bare minimum... zero is best.

    Wine and soda. I replaced them with ice cold water. I know some people prefer room temperature but I knew I'd never drink it as much if I did that. :smile:

    pastry. too many pies and nightime danish.

    for all those that said soda, were you all still drinking full fat coke etc?
    i dont know anyone in the uk over age 14 that still drinks that stuff.

    i use diluted juice concentrate. robinsons barley etc. to consume gallon of water daily.minimal cals.

    Coca cola does not have fat.

    But if Coke had ever made such a product, like say cola filled donuts, I probably would have been first in line to try it!

    Muffins, bagels, and scones.

    They are super carb dense and don't fill you up much.

    My beloved beer! I didn't cut it out completely but seriously watch the intake. I used to go through a six pack every weekend and wondered why I was having a hard time losing weight! Hah!

    My unrealistic expectations.


    Also, for 6 months I cut full sugar soda. It helped reset my palate and now things that were bitter to me are sweet. It was an unexpectedly pleasant surprise. Now I just drink diet soda, which tastes alot better to me now (always had an after taste to me, but now it doesn't!).

    Soda and milk. Switched to almond milk made a huge difference. Soda is a once in a while treat and never drink diet soda worse then the real stuff

    Excessive snacking at night that brings me above my planned calories for the day. It still happens from time to time, but it's cut down dramatically.

    Also, no more huge chocolate chip cookies from the cafeteria downstairs at my work.

    I found the biggest difference was ADDING fruits and veggies--filled my plate and didn't leave as much room for the other stuff.

    A lot of us call it full fat coke in the uk. We don't think it has fat in it, it's just a funny way to say non diet coke. I actually know a lot of adults here that drink fat coke, myself included up until two months ago. I think it's less damaging than diet coke and I prefer the taste.

    I just had fun filling in a food diary imagining what I might have eaten today if I weren't watching what I ate. I got to the 4,000 kcal mark! That wouldn't have been an average day but it wouldn't have been too unusual for a Friday :( hope I never slip back
