    I totally believe moderation is the key. I find that if I try to give something up that I think about giving it up so much that I end up binging on it later.

    Real butter. Actually I enjoy most of my favorite foods- just not as often or in such massive quantities.

    If I own it, I will eat it, so there is a lot of stuff I can't "own." I just eat it when we go out. But if it came down to it....wine!

    And of course, I never give up ANYTHING on special occasions like holidays, family parties, or weddings. Those times are meant to be enjoyed and 1 day of "bad eating" never ruins a healthy lifestyle as long as you get back on track the next day.

    I completely agree!! I do try to choose wiser b/c I often find that things just don't taste as good as I think they should, but every now and then you just gotta go for it...like this past Sunday!

    Coffee for me as well. I just have a smaller cup, and measure my favorite flavored creamer. Coffee has potassium in it which I need so I have a good excuse to keep drinking it! :bigsmile:

    Coffee with my 1-2 TB of 1/2 and 1/2. One cup daily. If I have Starbucks it is always tall non fat latte with 1 packet of Steevia and cinnamon.

    I feel so much better after reading everyone's replies to this thread. I was feeling so guilty for eating certain guilty pleasures lately, despite sticking to an exercise plan. I kept telling myself that I needed to eat a 'clean' diet - but what for?? I agree that it's best to enjoy all foods in moderation. If I restrict myself from eating something, I'll just want it more. And, I don't buy certain foods like cookies, otherwise I will wake through the night and eat 4 at a time! Definitely not in moderation!!

    White Pizza with Tomatos. Only once and awhile, but when I want a treat, that is what I go for.

    Beer and Crown Royal.
    But that's why I live in the gym. :happy:

    I'm not trying to give up anything per se, but I believe in moderation. I just apparently don't practice it! LOL.

    Seriously though, I'm trying to do away (more often anyhow) frozen dinner type foods just because their easy. The sodium in them in unbelievable.

    Soda ):
    I know at some point I'll have to, at least "pre-contest" but.. it's my biggest vice!
    I know that sounds ridiculous, haha but I just can't see myself surviving without it. Haha

    I refuse to give up my right to choose anything at any given time.

    I've not really given up anything. I just know that I can't have pizza everyday or that I can have 1 slice instead of 3. It's worked so far. I've tried diets before and given things up and they didn't last very long.

    I am a huge coffee drinker, I love it. I have about 3 - 16oz cups a day. Occasionally Starbucks too. Coffee is my one ' I refuse to give it up'.

    What is yours?

    Coffee. I get kind of nutso without it. I love me some coffee.

    I really did not "give up" the things I ate. Instead, I found a healthier way to prepare the food that I loved! On occasion, I treat my self to the not so healthy version. However, those items are treats.

    I know everyone's got treats and yummies listed, but mine is bananas--I don't care how many sugars, carbs, etc. are in them--hell, you could tell me they have arsenic in them, I refuse to give them up EVER :tongue:
