For me it's my morning cup of coffee!!! I drink the international coffees from maxwell house!! They are sooooooo good and I add a little flavored creamer in it to make it that much better. I count the calories for the coffee, but I don't count the creamer! :tongue:

So what's your weakness?

    My weakness is my coke. I can't give it up, I hooked. Although I have cut back to only 3 glasses and increased my water to 10 - 12 cups. I figure it's not too bad.
    :drinker:

    I have refused to approach anything as an absolute. I have I have the calories left, I will eat just about anything.

    Living. I still enjoy holidays and cake on birthdays, beer at the cottage and mini donuts at the fair. I've just learned to compensate with a higher activity level and reduce portion sizes. But I simply REFUSE to put my life on hold and give up making memories with my family and enjoying all that life has to offer.

    Real pizza. I make my own and it's good but it's not a big NY slice with pepperoni and sausage

    I refuse to give up anything. I aim for healthier choices and moderation, but if I want it I work it in. This is my life, not a short term diet. I don't know how long I'll be on this earth and I won't spend it feeling deprived. Enjoy every day and every meal, just be conscious of your choices.

    Same here. If I tell myself something isn't allowed then I'm just going to crave it until I get it!

    I've done that too often in the past (chocolate, cheese etc) and it's just setting myself up to "fail". I would rather have whatever I want, in moderation, and add it to my food diary.

    Coffee - but I drink it black, no creamer OR sweetener so no biggie there calorie-wise; the one thing that is harder for me to give up/control is PASTA !! I love Italian food and continue to try to find ways to enjoy it without blowing my overall calorie intake

    This is my approach. I have tried cutting loads of things out, but I end up craving them more than anything else(especially chocolate, im a complete chocoholic) So now if I am craving it I will eat a little piece to keep within my calories.

    Coffee and my sugar free creamer. You may want to count the creamer. Depending on how much you put in, it can add up quickly. 2 cups of coffee with 2.5Tbsp each is 155 calories. Just sayin.

    I haven't given up anything, I stay within my calorie goal. Everything in moderation, right? ;)

    Chocolate! :) Of course!

    But really, I don't feel that I've had to completely "give up" anything. I just have to plan for those high-cal foods/drinks a little better. :)
