    Coca Cola and Pepsi. I try to drink mostly water, and tea. I do have diet sodas like Coke Zero or Pepsi Max. They don't taste so obviously like diet soda so it helps. Frozen foods for the most part, like Stouffer's Macaroni and Cheese. I loved that stuff. lol

    I've given up Pepsi. I used to be highly addicted to it (drank at least 5 cans a day). I stopped cold turkey one day and had the worst headaches for a week. Now, if I have a little bit, the addiction just kicks back in and its all I want! So I just avoid it. =D If I'm craving bubbly drinks, I'll have carbonated water.

    Like some of the others I havent told myself certain foods are banned totally - otherwise I'll start craving them and obsessing over them! Plus for me its just not sustainable to ban things for the rest of my life!

    Having said that, I have avoided some foods on a general day-to-day basis, either because I know they'll trigger a binge, or just because they arent good choices.

    Also, I've just had my gallbladder removed due to gallstones and for the last few months high fat foods would have had me in agony/rushed into hospital.

    These are the things I try to avoid most of the time, and then really enjoy them when I'm having a treat!

    'Proper' mayo (used to eat soooo much of the stuff!)
    Ice cream
    Cheese
    Butter
    Salami/chorizo
    Takeaway food

    I've given up ice cream (your typical grocery store freezer variety or ice cream parlor scoops). However I still eat frozen yogurt and Skinny Cow type ice creams. But the ones at the grocery store are just pure evil to me. I can never stick to just one serving, so I gave them up, and really don't feel like I'm missing anything!

    most grains and grain by products...
    I used to have an alcoholic beverage each night, my "unwind" drink - but also gave that up and allow only on weekends.

    We used to have a lot of supermarket bought pizzas and garlic bread (maybe once a week) as it was my 'night off cooking' meal.

    I've done this for dinner about twice since I signed up here in Feb

    Drink: Everything but water. I've been drinking very little but water for probably the last two years (even before I started fitnesspal or even started working hard to lose weight). So, I've given up basically everything else that I rarely (maybe once or twice a week) would drink. Water is all I drink except maybe... once or twice a month I'll have a hot tea with breakfast or a diet sprite with dinner.

    I use to before all of that have a BIG addiction to sweet ice tea (southern girl here).

    Food: Egg yolks, Non-whole grains, & pork and red-meat.

    I agree with the "all things in moderation" philosophy. I haven't totally given up anything, although I've had to cut back on a lot of the microbrew beers that I've grown to love. Many have over 300 calories. I never thought I'd become a lite beer guy...but it's worth it.

    Luckily, I've never been completely dependent on one food, so for me, I've given up on eating any size portion I want, because that was my biggest issue. I have given up on ignoring the nutrition labels, as well as eating between meals except for when my body tells me I need food.
