What's the one thing you refuse to give up?

Diet Pop! I know it has 0 calories but I drink a lot of it, every day. I tried to give it up for a few days and I was an evil person. I seriously wanted to run people over with my cart at the grocery store. :ohwell:0

I don't exclude any one item. I will never denounce bacon. I eat it like every day.0

I refuse to give anything up. My family and boyfriend have made comments about me cutting out pasta and cupcakes (I bake A LOT) but I haven't cut them out, just cut down. I eat everything in moderation and make better choices these days, but I haven't cut anything out.

I won't give anything up that I love. I'm a firm believer in "everything in moderation"...besides my friends and family wouldn't want me to...I'd be such a raging b*tch that they'd probably want to stab me in the throat and watch me slowly bleed to death. Yeah I'm that bad.0

I don't give anything up. I just use moderation and portion control. If I can fit it in, and need a scoop of ice cream, I have it. It's a lifestyle change for me, not a deprivation thing. If I like it, I will have it!

For me, it's Half and Half in my coffee.
How funny... A few months ago I would have said French Vanilla Creamer in my coffee. But, after noticing the effect of the artificial sugar on the rest of my nutritional day (basically it was setting me up to crave sweets all day long) - I decided to let it go. I switched to half and half which has no sugar and about half as many calories.
For me using half and half has been a very positive change and wasn't hard to get used to. It is a lot easier for me to walk past the candy bowls in the office all day when I'm not starting my day with sugar!0 -
1/2 and 1/2 in my coffee, I do not count it.
Every once in awhile after a great work out I get an everything bagel with lox cream cheese (YUM) I count the calories.
And an occasional glass of wine, which I count
and popcorn at the movies, which I also count.0 -
When I ate fast food and fat food...I didn't eat it because it tasted good. Frankly, I ate it so fast, I didn't notice the taste. I hardly chewed and really had no need for teeth I swallowed so big and fast. I never savored anything at all. I ate to fill the void in my heart, not the one in my mouth where the taste buds are.
In high anxiety times, I ate food to keep my throat from closing up...feeling like I was being strangled, the food pushed open my throat and gave me a sense of relief.
It's so weird to contemplate giving up anything that I used to eat because what I used to eat was never in a catagory of like or dislike, love or hate...It was easy, fast, cheap, abundant, thoughtless, a means to an end.
The more I ate, the safer I felt. The more weight I gained, the more my food fell out of love with me, not the other way around...my food was killing me with a vengence - that's HATE. It hated me. My body hated IT...I was just along for the ride.
Now, everything I eat is healthy and I'm really TASTING food for the first time, savoring its texture, temperature, taste.
The only food I'm not giving up....is food for thought. I want to remember my relationship with food and its relationship with me.0 -
Alcohol. I found this whipped cream flavored vodka for $8 at the liquor store a few weeks ago, and it tastes awesome with grapefruit juice. Other things I may skip, like creamer in my coffee or dessert, but if I have a stressful day, and just want my drink at the end, I have it, and I enjoy every single empty, useless calorie of it.0

I gave up soda, but I REFUSE to give up chocolate.0

coffee (even though I drink it black, no sugar) and pasta even if I cook it simple with little (olive oil or coconut oil...
and some day off...to keep my sanity0 -

Pepsi. But in my defense I have went from drinking 6 cans, yes 6, to drinking a can and a half. So dont judge me as so many do. I just cant do it. And no diet pepsi is not an option. 31 years of pepsi is hard to break.
I was a horrible addict to Pepsi also....I made sure to tell myself I can have one if I want, but only if I work it off I refused to give it up completely, but like you, I drank a lot of it daily. I do not remember the last time I actually drank a whole can in a day now!!0 -
I haven't given up anything. I just eat the things I really really love in moderation. If I gave up those things I would just want them more.0

Let me start off by saying this: I have a 6 & 4yr old. I drop them off at 6:30am every morning, come to work at 7am, pick up the 4yr old during my lunch, drive him to my mom's (babysitter), pick up lunch, eat at the office, work till 4pm, pick up the 4yr old, get home, wash dishes, do a quick clean up of the house, leave to pick up my 6yr old from an afterschool program at 5:30, get dinner, get home, change, go to the gym, home, shower, bed. By that time its about 9:30-10pm and I have to be up at 5am. So after all that, please understand me why I REFUSE to give up my energy drinks! LOL0

Cheese, I LOVE LOVE cheese!! My husband teases me that I am part mouse :laugh:
I just try healthier cheese (Kraft 2%, Laughing Cow& Baby Bell mainly) and reduced portions / healthier items to pair it with if it's a cheese spread.0 -
half and half in my coffee! I do measure it, but I have to have my coffee that creamy color or I feel sorry for myself drinking it black. I gave up greek honey yogurt so I could keep my half and half in my coffee.0

My one cup of coffee with creamer or with Half and Half and 3 splenda.
Whats the point of bitter coffee? I need my coffee, not only for the caffine, for the relaxation I feel when I have it.0 -
