    Taco Bueno.
    A low clothing budget. I've had to buy more new crap in the last year than any other time in my entire life.
    Moob jokes at my own expense.

    hmm.. nothing completely but I sure have cut back. The 3 hardest things to cut back on were...

    1. Potato chips. - Would eat every single day and have only had 2 handfuls since January
    2. Diet Coke - I also drank this every day and no only 1 - 2 times a month (having one right now hehe)
    3. Poutine - I had this at least once a week and have only had once since January

    Woo..Just had a proud moment.

    1. Sodas
    2. Monogamy
    3. Fried foods

    What say you?


    1. Beer during the weekdays (I'll still tilt a few during the weekend)
    2. Mindless eating (No more mowing through a box of Cheez-its or eating a dozen fast-food burgers)
    3. Being lazy (All the extra energy makes it hard for me to want to sit around)

    You go on a diet and get more sex partners??? :love: I live in the wrong state...damn!!

    I didn't say I have more sex partners, I just said I gave up monogamy, that's all. I haven't had a sex partner since the Reagan Administration.
    so I am curious, what the definition of monogamy is in TX? And here's some :flowerforyou: and a free pass to spend your summer in Mass! :love:

    1. Soda, because it isn't enjoyable like it used to be. I still have a little now and then but it's not the same.
    2. Some of my shoes, since they are too loose now.
    3. Er... several pounds of fat!

    I don't believe you have to give up anything... at least I didn't. Maybe those who have a real trigger (like the one who mentioned Chinese buffets) would need to stay away from those things. But if you can use portion control, you can have pretty much anything.

    I feel really sad for the person who said they had to give up guilt-free eating. Eating should not have anything to do with guilt.

    I agree with whoever said that they gained so many new food options. I don't really deny myself certain foods, but I just don't want the bad things anymore. Thinking about eating fast food makes me want to hurl. Just the lack of quality nutrition in fast food disgusts me which I guess is a good thing. I find myself craving my apple with natural peanut butter, or grapes and cottage cheese as a way to satisfy my sweet tooth. But there are things that I crave and usually don't give into because of the amount of calories in them.
    1- White chocolate mochas (I used to drink one basically every day, now I drink brewed coffee with SF creamer)
    2- Blizzards from Dairy Queen (I never really ate these often, but one small blizzard has 600 calories. Yikes! Not worth it.)
    3- Can't think of anything else that I don't eat in moderation still.
    I have gained so much more
    1- Endurance
    2- A new outlook on life
    3- Self confidence

    Nothing, nothing, and nothing! I just don't pig out and guzzle Dr. Pepper all day, every day. I had NO IDEA how insane my calorie intake was before I joined MFP. ><

    I gave up a lot more than 3 things:

    sodas
    fried foods
    sweets
    pizza
    white bread
    chips
    red meat
    alcohol

    Thing is, most of thost things, except the alcohol, was something I craved after drinking a soda or 5 a day. Now that I don't drink soda, I don't crave any of those and don't miss a thing.

    I never was much of a drinker so that was no big deal, too.

    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.
