3) Full calorie sodas.
You can probably add milk to that list, too.0 -
I don't feel like I've given up any foods of any sort, just eat less or none of some not so healthy selections. Since I changed things up, I still have had girl scout cookies (ate the whole box...took me all month instead of one sitting though ), I still have ice cream and cake at parties and I have still lost almost 30 lbs in less than 4 months.
I have given up:
1. cleaning the house as much as I was during the week
2. TV is almost nonexistent unless you count when I watch my Jillian MIchaels DVD.
3. Lots of "fat" clothes :drinker:0 -
1. Thought-Free munching
2. Movie snacks and excess popcorn
3. Soda (except for sparkling water, tonic water, and flavored seltzer)0 -
1. qdoba burritos (over a thousand calories each but my favorite thing EVER)
2. low self esteem
3. soda0 -

1. Weight.
2. Self-doubt.
3. The uncontrollable impulse to overeat my favorite foods.
I have not given up a food item. Some of them just have a less-frequent place on my plate, or are put there in saner portions.0 -
Why would you give up mahogany?
Because it's denser than pine, of course!0 -

For some foods, a saner portion ends up just being a tease. Like seeing a great mahogany desk, only to discover that it's laminate covered particle board.0 -

Now that I'm eating in balance (carbs down, fats and particularly proteins up), I don't CRAVE the foods I used to. I can enjoy and savor them, and a smaller portion works just as well as a larger one - really good stuff I enjoy in tiny bites.
There is no "tease" in my world any more. There are foods that fit in my daily allotment in the calories I'm allowed, and there are not. Someone brings in donuts, I used to scarf one down immediately and take as many leftovers as I could manage back to my desk. Now, if I choose to indulge in one, I will take it and break off chunks for nibbling at the meeting, then take the remainder back to my desk and enjoy it in individual bites until either the donut has run out, or it's time to go home and the donut has not been finished (which means one more bite for the road and the donut goes in the garbage). I have indulged in a few donuts since I started on MFP and got my diet in balance. In all cases, there were significant portions of donut left at the end of the day.
This is the first time in my life I have managed this level of self-control, and it's all down to making sure my body is well-fed all the food it actually needs.0 -
I don't consider what I am doing "dieting". I refer to it as a life style change.
1) Emotional eating
2) My entire "BIG" wardrobe
3) Bad Health
On a more fun note
1) Soda or anything carbonated
2) Processed Sugar
3) Fried and Greasy Foods0 -
I gave up over-indulgence....
I gave up self-pity....
I gave up the couch....0
