So have you given up anything?

paradog

I am a ice cream addict and I have given it up until I reach a goal. Then I am allowed only a one double cone, but it has to still fit my plan. I was gonna give up stress and beer but, I need something!!!!

What did you give up?

sarahazen

HFC and Partially hydrogentated oils...sounds dumb but that crap is in everything

jesienia

I gave up sweets, drinks other than water, and french fries. Which was hard, but I don't really miss it anymore!

Claible

I have given up Pop and almost all candy. I don't miss it as much as I thought I would and there is nothing good about either item so win win here.

I'm working on giving up soda. I used to drink a LOT of soda so I've been backing down the amount, hopefully down to none before too much longer....

Nothing really. I eat anything I want as long as it fits in my goals. But let's see... I haven't had macaroni and cheese in about a year and a half because I never feel like spending any cals on it.

Honestly I didn't plan to give up anything but I've found I just feel better when I don't eat junk and especially sugar stuff (like ice cream). I think I've had ice cream twice in the last year and then I remember why I don't do it anymore

I never do food rewards for "goals" met though because I feel like it sets a bad precedent for myself. Food isn't the enemy, it's fuel!

I went from 2 to 4 litres of coke classic a day to a average of a small glass or two a month sometimes less. So didn't totally stop but close

Oh man, this is gonna be a tough thing to chronicle.

I gave up:

Smoking
Beer
All fast food
Regular pop
Ice cream
Candy bars
Most red meat
Hot dogs
Processed food (Hot pockets, microwave meals)
Chips
Chocolate
Cookies
Ice cream
Pudding
Refined flour products (White bread)
Refined peanut butter
Jelly
Syrup
Rum
Fried food
Non-wheat pasta
Mayonaise
Ketchup
Gyros
Ribs

actually to be honest, I could go on for days, but I won't list every single thing here. It was tough at first, but after a while you get used to not putting garbage into your body. I used to LOVE my sugar, drinking 4-5 bottles of pop a day and downing a pint of ice cream in one sitting. Now, it's good wholesome food, and the changes in my body have cemented my mindset that I'll never go back again.


I think I miss Taco Bell the most lol

I've given up everything with more than 3 ingredients and I'm not eating anything I can't pronounce! That means no fast food, no soda, nothing!

DKev

I gave up milk and real sugar in my coffee.

Oh, whoops. I guess I have really given up soda! I drink diet now instead. I've gotten so used to diet soda, that whenever I go out to a restaurant I always have to get somebody to take a sip and see if it's really diet or not. I just can't tell anymore. Coke Zero tastes like a diet soda to me though. Lol. How weird is that?

Here is a thought for you...soda drinkers are more prone to get kidney stones. After your first male birth you will quit drinking soda!

SALT!!!!!!! I use to salt EVERYTHING!!!! I would salt pizza, chips, hamburgers, gravy and biscuits from mcdonalds (wwhich already ahve a ton of sodium)! Now I gave it up and my blood pressure has went WAY down...

It is a pain I wish on no one !

As a family we avoid sugar, flour, and industrial oils.
Makes a shopping, cooking, very simple and enjoyable.
Sugar is an addiction. People have a hard time just quitting it.
And cheat/rewards days don't work. Every had a cheat cigarette, or cheat heroin?!?! Doesn't really help.
Congratulations to all those looking to give up soda's
TIP - get carbonated water (usually in the booze area) and put a spritz of some fruit in it. Kids LOVE it.

I haven't given up any food completely, just really limited my intake so I stay within my calorie allowance. For example, instead of having a big bowl of full-fat ice cream, I'm having a Skinny Cow ice cream bar.

I have quit snacking at work, which helps a lot.

I've given up sitting on my butt!! It was hard at first to find the motivation to get up and exercise...but, now that we've really made the change I find myself thinking of ways to get some more exercise in whenever I have down time. Today that motivation got me a clean house and some burned calories!!

Marjorielk

second and thirds !

dreanance

I'm working really hard on quitting diet pepsi. Other than that I can't think of anything. Everything in moderation for me. Though some things are really really really rare (margaritas, chips, fast food).

icerose137

Everything wheat, dairy, corn, oats, and refined sugar.

When I can figure out why I'm having such strong salt cravings, potato chips will be next.

Amen! After the second, I decided it was time to change for good!
