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

    same here! As long as i have calories left i'll still eat it :o)

    Nothing.

    I was 6' 1" and weight almost 300 pounds. Why, for the love of Mike*, would I not make all of the changes that were needed to become healthy again?

    The pisser is that I went on a wine buying trip to Northern California back in March so I'm up to about 15 cases of wine that I don't know if I will ever drink.

    Guess that means "Party at Doug's place!"

    I haven't given anything up, apart from large portions!

    However there are many foods that are so high calorie that I rarely choose to eat them, and others that have simply lost their appeal now I'm used to eating more healthily.

    Chicken Tikki Masala with Naan and too much wine on Friday nights.

    I calorie count and compensate for what I want those days. For me I net calorie 1400 daily (or average that for the week if some days are a little higher/lower then others).

    Live your life!

    I'm still working on breaking up with Dr. Pepper. I'm trying to slowly break it off with Dr Pepper and only spend time with him every other day, and it was working, but then he just got sooo irresistable that i had to have time with him atleast once a day. I'm gonna give it another shot because my relationship wit Dr P is one sided, he's just not good 4 me anymore. :laugh:

    I won't give up anything... I just (mostly) control protions. Realistically I won't be eating rabbit food for the rest of my life so why would I do it now.

    Two things

    1. Ice Cream. I am a *kitten* for ice cream. It's my precious. So I save enough calories every day for a serving of ice cream. Sure, I've switched to brands/styles that have lower calories, and I eat my ice cream right out of the half-cup measuring spoon. But I refuse to give it up.

    2. Beer. Although I don't drink it nearly as much as I used to I still enjoy the occasional frosty, refreshing adult beverage.

    Bagels. SO bad. The thin ones are revolting. I bet I would float off this earth if I quit them cold turkey but I just can't. Well, I can- I refuse.

    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.

    ^This!! Very well said.

    There's nothing I would absolutely not give up. I'm not strict with my diet, and I eat whatever I want. I just don't eat so much of it.

    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?
    Nothing. Giving up something means cravings and eating your cravings is the main reason people regain weight. Eat what you want in moderation, meaning on occasion.

    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.


    ^^This^^ It's all about balance :)
