    I still eat everything I want, just a lot lot less of it. I do have trigger foods though, that I try to stay away from unless I have calories to spare.

    Same here...I mostly monitor what I eat and when i want something that is not very healthy I make a decision to have it based on it I feel it worth the calories...most time not but sometime the answer is YES!! :smile:

    I quit drinking soft drinks and I tend to shy away from fried foods. That being said, I'm making Captain Crunch Chicken tonight and plan to thoroughly enjoy it:)

    I have just been limiting my faves. I feel like I have to give up enough with my son's food allergies that I really just don't want to cut other things out. I just cut back on the sugary stuff. I try to work things in. For example, today we are having a big family get together where KFC is gonna be. I will limit myself to one breast (minus the breading/skin), 1/2 cup of potato salad and a biscuit. A lot of cals, yes, but it fits because I have cut else where :)

    Man, I gave up all sorts of stuff. Chinese food, burgers, pizza. All of it. I try to eat as healthy as possible while still being able to enjoy meals.

    I have given up cake for now, but will probably eat it again. I want to make sure that i can handle it first without going overboard

    Alcohol - I loved my (large) glass of red wine in the evening, but it's empty calories and caused me to bloat as well. I'm very glad I don't partake anymore.

    Since starting logging I have noticed I get problems with crohns when I eat nuts. So anything with nuts in is out, unless they're ground almonds or smooth pb. Bit gutting really, cos there are so many foods I enjoy that have nuts in! But my gut's a lot happier for making the change!

    - Nutella :[ :[ :[ I put it on everything and anything.

    - Starbucks Vinte Caramel Frapps. When I first moved into this town after not having a Starbucks available to me after 7 years, I would drink atleast 3-4 a week. I haven't had one in about 3 months and the last one even close to that was the short, non-fat version with no whip.

    - Alcohol. Haven't touched it since June 14th (my birthday).

    - Soda, although I don't miss it at all. Everytime I take a sip of it now, I feel sick. I haven't steadily drank it for a couple of years now.

    Real chinese take out- I make my own versions now.

    Oreo Mint Milkshakes from cookout- I used to have one a couple of times a week, they are heaven in a cup. Now, if I have done a really good workout, I'll let myself have one once a month, but not anymore than that

    French fries. I haven't even missed them. Such a ubiquitous and unnecessary side dish.

    I have not given up anything. But there are lots of things I used to eat that I do not eat anymore. For me, this is a lifestyle change and I am not forbidding anything. But I can say that my old constant cravings for chocolate cake and brownies are no longer calling the shots.

    I haven't given up anything, I just have my favourite treats less frequently and in smaller portions. If I'm craving something I let myself have it, just in controlled quality (if there is a low fat and/or low sugar and/or low sodium option I go with it) and have a smaller portion.

    Also, if I slip up and overindulge, I just work it off with exercise.

    me too!!

    Dr. Pepper -- I've tried giving up soda, in general, but if I'm craving one, I'll grab a diet soda over a regular. If I start drinking Dr. Pepper there is no stopping.
