Food challenges or vices?

Anyone have any specific goals as far as foods you are trying to cut back on or any vices or guilty pleasures that might be holding you back? Even if I'm within my calorie goal, if I look back at my diary, there are definitely some choices that are not good.
Here are mine!
-Quit drinking Diet Cokes! I have done this before and felt better after, but it's so easy to get "addicted" again. I have been doing pretty well - only had have a 20oz bottle of Diet Coke in the past 3 days - usually I would drink at least 32oz or more per day.
-Cut back MORE on bread and chips. I don't eat much of these anyways, and never over the serving size (if I even eat that much!), but these are definitely not helping!
-Ditch the sweets! I have been trying to find "healthier" alternatives to tame my sweet tooth. Blue Bell has 100% Fruit Bars that are 70 calories. They are slightly high in sugar, but MUCH healthier than ice cream.

Food vices:
Diet Mt Dew. I've cut back to less than 12 oz a day (used to be 3-4 cans a day)
Chocolate (just had a small handful of chocolate chips since there's no other chocolate in the house)
Chips. I love Pringles, even though they barely even qualify as chips.0 -

We are similar, I can spend 10 to 18 hours on the computer a day. Exercise is my hardest thing to make myself do. Trying hard to eat clean.0 -

Love nutella, I try to eat only occasionally, but I love chocolate and have some almost every day.0
