    I'm totally in! We eat way to many sweets at my house, especially ice cream and chocolate. Its been really hard to resist since everyone else is eating it and asking "You want some?" I think I can make it with you guys! :)

    I gave up coke/pepsi (brown pop) 2 and 1/2 years ago. I occasionally have a sprite or 7 up, MAYBE one a month if that.

    My addiction is ice cream. I start eating it and I can't stop til it's gone. I need to join this group and cut ice cream out for 30 days.

    Yep!

    ahhh, I guess I'll join along with you guys! I started my own junk-food fast 5 days ago, so I guess I have 25 days to go :) but my weakness is sugar. Cake, cupcakes, reeses, oreos... I like sugary junk food. But I've been 5 days sober, woot!

    So, I have two problem food/drinks that I simply cannot seem to give up.....

    1.

    Now, I understand a bit of popcorn and a energy drink now and again isn't a big deal. But, I have at least one energy drink a day (sometimes two), and a *huge* amount of popcorn almost every single night.

    I'd love to start a group challenge so that I have to be accountable to others to stop these habits.

    If you are wanting to stop an addiction that is getting in the way of your goals, join me! List your addiction, and I'll come up with a start date and add the group.


    I have been soda/pop free for 5 years (occasional sprite/7-up when sick), and chocolate free since August 2009 (YES, I said chocolate). Chocolate to me was like alcohol to an alcoholic. I want to encourage you & everyone else that are fighting addictions - YOU CAN DO THIS!! If you stumble, start over the next day - NEVER give up!!! You have made the first 2 steps, 1. Recognizing you have an addiction & 2. Admitting the addiction. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! Anyone can add me & I will help encourage you or add me to your challenge & I will encourage there. Either way - YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!

    My biggest pitfall is Mexican food, Chipotle, the taco stand by my office, huge, gooey burritos and my biggest nemesis: Nachos. I've tried to limit but I think I may need to cut it out completely.

    I'm in!

    I need to give up smoking (I know, not technically food/drink but could do with the motivation!) as I want to take up running. And I need to quit the savoury snacking (potato chips mainly!) And gummy sweets! I eat Haribo like it's going out of fashion :(

    The main things I want to cut out are diet soda and crisps, I eat maybe one or two packets a week but i'd prefer if I ate none while trying to lose weight!

    Sign me up! I need to stop with the wine - it is adding too many calories and is just a bad habit at this point.

    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with a popcorn addiction! I'm not giving it up though. I have a 100 calorie bag every night and that is my daily treat.
