      I'm not willing to compromise on beer, wine, or having my coffee the way I like it.

      Light cream in my coffee. I've tried half and half, the FF substitutes, milk.....nope. I have one cup a day. It's my first beverage of the day and I do not want to compromise.

      Two things - firstly sugar in my coffee/tea. I have cut right down from 4 spoons to 1, but cannot give it up totally, and I hate the taste of sweeteners.
      The second one is not so much what I refuse to give up, but I refuse to eat, lol. I cannot stand the taste of tuna canned in brine. I much prefer it in the vegetable oil and refuse to change. I do drain it right out in a colander, but find it so much nicer than the brine.

      I do understand too, what everyone is saying about not giving up anything because this is a lifestyle not a diet. However, since I was just addicted to so many things that were just awful for me, I decided to go very strict until Easter and then will start allowing myself the odd treat. I have in the past allowed myself treats initially but tend to not know when to stop. So, right now I am trying to break the cycle, and go cold turkey. I also have KFC, a pizza shop, a fish and chips shop, a burger shop, a chinese shop and a little deli all within about 500m from my office, and know that if I let myself start having them it is too easy and I will be straight back where I started!
      Anyway, 4 weeks tomorrow since I had a coke which is HUGE for me!

      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!

      ^^^ THIS!!! 100% If I deprive myself, I am setting myself up for failure!

      Chocolate
      And I don´t really eliminate too much from my diet, except sodas and chips (they go too quickly, don´t have any nutrients, chips have silica/sand in them ugh, that´s the reason why)

      Marshmallows.
      I eat about 3 a day.

      When I run out I likely won't buy more though.

      Nothing. I go the moderation route but have really altered my portion sizes, especially for treats. For example, I have every intention of enjoying the occasional DQ blizzard this spring/summer, but I'll be choosing the mini size from now on!:wink:

      When it comes to food there is not a lot of stuff I don't like. Well, in American cuisine. I just love food. My probably is eating too much of it, not setting any boundaries on amounts and really eating a lot of the bad stuff. But here are a few that might make the list.

      1.) Top the Tater - a chip dip that is revered int he mid-west. Suffered with portion control on this one. I don't have it often (once a month maybe) but when I do I would go hog wild (no pun intended). Haven't had since late January.
      2.) Burger King and McDonalds burgers and fries. I used to love to gorge on this stuff. Eating it several times a week. Stopped at McDonalds on Monday had fries but ordered a McGrilled with no mayo and a minute maid lemonade light. Better than what I typically ordered. But man I would have loved a burger.
      3.) Cheese. I was raised a cheese head and pretty much like all forms of it.
      4.) Wine and beer. I like the former more than the later. I probably average one beverage every two week and I usually try to have them at night as it slows down you metabolism for the day.
      5.) Steak. Again, something I enjoy a handfull of times a year but a well-cooked steak is a beautiful thing.
