Is there something you just WON'T give up?

The list is long, but there are some things that I am not going to completely give up. Like pure fatty Hellman's mayo. Just can't do it, the low fat/non-fat mayo just does not taste right. I'm not going to go overboard, but I need that flavor. I can do non-fat sour cream, cream cheese and butters, but give me my mayo and no one gets hurt!

Also dark beers, the ales and ambers! When I have a beer (and it's not often) I want something robust with some flavor. Not knocking the lighter beers, but I love me some ales!

    Hamburgers. I just eat them only once a week (Saturday) instead of multiple times.

    I don't believe you have to give up anything - just have it smarter and in moderation....

    Cheese. Just have to cut way back, and realize that a little really does go a long way.

    So far, I haven't given up anything! I'm trying to control frequency and portion size, but if this lifestyle change is going to stick, I know that I need to allow some indulgences...:happy:

    I don't really give anything up. It's like I told my friend the other day-it's not at all about deprivation. It's about moderation. I eat all things I love in moderation.

    That being said-if someone tried to keep me from my ice cream, they'd get hurt. I *heart* ice cream. I don't mind lowfat. My new found favorite is pumpkin pie ice cream. Oh my goodness...

    in and out cheeseburgers. I now order them without the special sauce with ketchup and mustard instead this saves about 100 cals and tastes almost as good, but i love there cheeseburgers and I only have one about once every 3 weeks......everything in moderation

    I don't give up much. I just monitor it better. If I really want an extra girl scout cookie I just work out that much longer and harder.

    Don't give up anything ---- its all about moderation :)

    That said, I would never give up coffee or baklava :)
    One I drink every single day -- one is a treat I don't get often enough anymore.

    everything in moderation is something i live by.....i mean i eat healthier but i still have ice cream once a week, and i still drink my yuengling at least once every 2 weeks, i eat pizza when i decide i want it...i comprimised on soda and dont drink the sugary ones and only drink diet ones(not that i think they are healthy with all those chemicals) lol thats all i got for now!

    I LOVE ICE CREAM!

    I don't give up any food, I just don't eat it every day and I change the time that I eat it now. For example, I love Nachos. Instead of eating them for dinner, I will have them for lunch. It gives me enough time to burn them off before I go to bed, and now I only eat them once a month vice every dang night. :-)

    This. I still enjoy everything I used to eat, just in moderation. I have to keep myself from going back for more chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven.. I still get a mocha frap from Starbucks when I go to Target once a week.. it's all about moderation! If I cut out all of the "bad" foods I love, I know I wouldn't stick with it!

    Pizza!
    I used to be fabulously addicted to Lean Cuisine pizzas. By used to, I mean less than a week ago!
    I was just put on my gluten free diet again on Saturday. So I've since had to give them up and it's a huge/sad transition.
    I am lucky that there is a local restaurant that has wonderful gluten free pizza-- I suppose I'll just have to get my fix that way!
