What have you completely given up?

mandypizzle

Are there things you have given up or are wanting to give up? What are they?

I have completely given up soda. It's been a long time since I've had any. I've also given up all white flour, I only use whole wheat, I do not buy sugar unless it's raw, honey or agave, no artificial sweeteners and VERY little processed foods with the exception of cheese and stuff like that (because I don't know what else to get:) I really want to give up sweets altogether but it's really tough for me.

Definitely soda. I had my first Coke in six months about a week ago, and the combination of the sugar rush and caffeine high kept me up literally ALL NIGHT. Yikes. A cup of coffee in the morning is something I'll never part with--I think it's the sugar of soda that affects me so adversely.

Also, most frozen foods. I used to live on stuff like chicken nuggets and Stouffer's Macaroni and Cheese, but honestly, it's expensive and unfulfilling. I stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables instead. Yeah, it takes more time to cook and stuff, but the trade-off is worth it.

I gave up cream, caramel and condensed milk =(

Well, many things actually, but the one that hurts the most...Oreo cookies I haven't had one in almost 4 years. It's definitely a trigger food for me and I would eat the whole bag.

OnionCookie

Oddly enough, Cashews. I eat a bit of everything once in a blue moon but if I get a can of Cashews I can't get enough and end up eating my entire days worth of calories in a few handfuls.

I second this motion.

Do I hear a 3rd and final on the motion?

rmartin72

Soda, alcohol, and trying to give up other things too.

Bread even though most of what I ate was wholemeal.

I didn't consciously give it up, it just kinda happened that way. I still eat a tiny amount but I could go for days without eating any.

I ate some white sliced bread last week late at night and I was very bloated/crampy the next day.

What else?? I haven't really given up anything else to be honest. I believe most things in moderation. I'd go la-la without some chocolate, biscuit every now and again.

sugar, fast food, and processed foods!

I havent really gave up anything, I have just lowered the amount i consume.

The biggest thing i have reduced is Milk. I love it, i would drink 4+ pints a day, I had to have it first thing in the morning, And it was essential i had it before bed.

But that amount of milk is way too fattening, even with skimmed, So i have somehow managed to reduce it and i now only have it with a cup of tea or some cereal..

I cant believe my strength lol, I was addicted to it for 15+ years, that was my routine. Now i prefer ice cold water :P mmmmm

I have given up giving up.

I have learned to like exercise and being fitness minded. There's no unringing that bell.

Oreos and grasshopper cookies. I wouldn't mind having 4 cookies but they don't sell them in 4packs and I don't want the whole package in my house.

I've given up meat, dairy, eggs, added oils, most processed foods, allergies, sinus problems, high cholesterol, miscellaneous aches and pains, and mostly, the feeling of hopelessness.

Oh, and I gave up insulin resistance too.

Diet Coke, chips and candy corn( a huge problem for me this time of year.) It knock me off the nutrition path in 2004 when I had lost 46 pounds and once I started with the candy corn that was it. I gained it all back plus 46 more. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!:sad:

^ awesome.

I've given up gluten, soy, milk and most cheeses.

This is only because I have intolerances for these things. I don't give up delicious things willingly.
