What's the one thing you have refused to give up?

ajfranzen77

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!

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.

My morning coffee with creamer. I have reduced it to one cup only and I do log in the calories (70).

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.

JeSuisPrest

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

bluebelle00

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.

Sepheara

I try to eat good all day and if I have calories left then I have a soda or something. I try not to absolutely give anything up, but tell myself if I want it it has to wait untill the evening when I see what my calorie budget is. or, at least Itry (being a pig lately).
But if I had to say, Coffe with the international creamers is one thing I would never cut out. and mountain dew. my blood is green I sware.

peanut m&m's. i used to eat a couple of bags a week. but mind over matter, no i buy a large bag, and when i want some, i measure out a quarter of a cup of them, and mix them with almonds and craisins.

engrider18

I can't give up my iced coffee. I make it myself so I know exactly what is going into it and track it everyday.

Dtho5159

I refuse to give up anything!! this is a lifestyle change and Im not gonna give up things I love or I would be miserable. I only eat something "bad' if I have calories left for it and make sure to do so a few times each week.

CARNAT22

There are things I have infrequently now (garlic bread, wine, pizza) that I used to have a few times per week. So I have cut back.

I have actually managed to give up something I thought I would never ever want / be able to give up - smoking!!!

iAMaPhoenix

Agree with all thos wheo won't give up anything. I just exercise more to eat what I want...

kimziebaby

Reese cups are my weakness. Gotta have em!

In moderation of course.

cnsmith2

So far I haven't given anything up! I don't really plan to either. Saying I'm giving something up means that I am depriving myself of it, and that could lead to bigger temptations and frustrations and could lead me to indulge too much. Instead I approach things in a more healthy manner and if there is something I'm craving I'll have some of it, as long as I stay within my calories for the day.

Yep, me too.

The one thing I have never logged or given up is my tea (I'm not a coffee drinker) -- made so dark you can't see through it, and with a little raw sugar. So there.

Sodium / salt. I try to keep it down, but that is the best I can do.
