Food you HAD TO give up...

Let me start by saying, I believe in MOST things in moderation. That being said I don't think I'm capable of Doritos in moderation. I think my relationship with Doritos is mostly over. Not that I eat tons of Doritos but when I do I surely eat far too many... I think this probably applies to buttery popcorn as well.

    Definitely popcorn! My favorite was the kind you pop on the stove then smother with real butter. Or bags of cheese popcorn. I cannot eat popcorn in moderation so i don't buy it at all.

    Triscuits and cheese....I could eat a box of 'em as long as I had Muenster cheese to put on them.

    Well... when I first started, I gave up everything. Then I realized that "all or nothing" doesn't work for me. Now, I eat whatever I want, when I want it. I will say that my tastes have changed and things I used to love (like donuts) don't taste good to me anymore.

    I'd have to say chips/doritos/nachos...oh nachos.
    they are all my worst enemies, and my favourite foods. :(
    there is no moderation with me when it comes to those choices..it's all or nothing, and for now...I'm choosing nothing ;)

    1. Caramel Macchiatos
    2. Ice cream

    The macchiatos were what made me fat in the first place, and I could eat a tub of candy cane ice cream ... you know the Christmas kind?

    I'm lactose intolerant, so they're good ones to give up, plus they were causing me to gain, but it was hard!!!

    Done with Candy for sure and milk chocolate. Ice cream will probably be next to go. Chinese food too, I don't eat it very often at all but I crave it like crazy sometimes.

    Well... I guess I started MFP the same time I decided to live a vegan lifestyle, so I had to give up all animal products, which fortunately has made me not crave sugar/processed foods anymore.

    However, in the span of what I feel comfortable eating, I have given up homemade cupcakes. I'm a major baker, and even though I make my cupcakes vegan, I could eat the whole batch if I make them. So, I only make them for others. I've also given up chocolate chips in my pancakes/waffles.

    I hear you!! The only way I can do popcorn is buying the little 100 cal bags. When it's gone it's gone.

    Cheese and chocolate milk have been the hardest. I used to drink over a gallon a week...it was so delicious. But I've also found that I need to either give up Cheez-its or pre-package them by serving because I will mindlessly eat the whole box.

    Cupcakes. God, I miss cupcakes so bad. Buttercream frosting, the spongey cake. Mmmmmmmmm.

    I havent totally given up, but definately limited my bread intake. If I have a burger, I'll eat it with only the bottom half of the bun and turf the top one. No more sandwiches.....Or i'll get a wrap instead.

    I really do believe that moderation is the key, and exercise. But there is one thing that can easily make me go over. Mostly this is due to the super high calorie content. Brownies. Betty Crocker brownies. 1/20th of that pan is like 200 calories. And I use to stop myself at about 1/5 of the box. So I would basically eat about 1000 calories in just a few meaningless calories. I'm not ready to tackle that challenge yet.

    I gave up a number of different foods as I believe they serve no purpose in the balanced diet which include Mexican food (as it is too easy to eat too much, and it is really calorie dense), potatos, chips, mcdonalds, most fast food (other than subway, which is the ****), I should give up chinese but it is just too good, so i try to go in moderation. Most sweets, and so far this year I have entirely given up ice cream as it was too much of a crutch.

    Friday nite Fish Fry...there is a dive in town that has the BEST fish ever and it's only $7 a person...All you can eat of course.

    Can't even go...it's not worth the calories in the tartar sauce and I come home feeling sick!

    I had to give up most fast food. If I am really craving I will have a turkey burger from Carl's Jr. but the sodium is killer

    any kind of milano cookies. I will quite literally eat the entire box in one sitting. Even the 100 calorie packs arent safe. If I have to have them, I just buy the smallest contianer available, pull out one serving and flush the rest down the toilet.

    Snacky chip things like wheat thins - I will eat a whole box. Cupcakes...I will eat them all if I make them. I can't have any frozen dessert things in my freezer [those 90 calorie twix and snickers ice cream bars, last week it was choco tacos...amazing!].

    Cadbury eggs. Oh lord...I noticed they were on the shelves the other day for easter already, I almost bought a bunch. I love them. I make cadbury egg brownies and I will eat ALL OF THEM.

    Cheesecake...I stay far away from that, too.

    I can eat these things if they're not in my house, and I have a limited time with them.

    oh, gummie bears. I can finish a 5lb bag in two days.
