Alcohol....no more social drinking on week nights. Just Saturday nights, even then Steve watches me like a hawk. I wonder who's watching him!?

    For me it's beer and cheese.

    Those two are my downfall in life. If I didn't like them, I'd be very slim. :D

    Bread - of any kind. But especially toast before bed!

    I'm a sucker for bread, cheese, mayo, pretty much everything that you shouldn't have.

    Needless to say, I've learned to love mustard this past week. :\

    Bread for me too - especially the malted nutty seedy ones that are higher in calories than any other bread, and Tiger bread, and soft fresh homebaked bread...oh stop now!

    Iced coffees. I always get them plain jane and sugar free, but I always feel so guilty! I have them often but don't normally go over on my cals, I just feel guilty for feeling like I NEED one!

    I second the alcohol! My husband are wine and specialty beer drinkers. I miss it! I try to remind myself that I can still have it, I just need to plan for it and not go overboard.

    the hardest thing to give up has been mindless eating. I'm not giving up foods, just giving mindlessly eating them. So, YES to fries, but only 1 portion. Yes to cheese, but only in very small amounts. Yes to a good beer, but only if I have the calories left. Yes to an occasional fast food meal, but thoughtfully chosen. It takes me much longer to make good choices than it used to take me to nosh through my day, but I'm much happier with what I see in the mirror now than what I saw in June.

    I know I cannot avoid bread, pizza, fried zucchini, pasta, etc., for the rest of forever. This is my life.

    This might sound terrible but I miss my "drinking wine in bed with a crazy straw." nights. Its my favourite way to de-stress..but super high in calories. I also miss ice cream...I could eat a tub a day...
