    I haven't given up anything...I eat things that I used to eat but way less than I used to eat them.

    I gave up Coca Cola and I'm also trying to force myself to try new foods so I don't get bored with what I am eating...tried raw pumpkin seeds today and ate my salad without dressing. Pumpkin seeds were good...salad without dressing, not so much.

    Nothing! I have cut back on unhealthy foods and drinks, but I allow myself to have them occasionally, especially in small portions.

    I gave up being obese and feeling horrible about myself.

    I lost all of my weight by eating what I wanted and slowly adding in more fruit and vegetables. Honestly, I don't really miss the old crap I used to eat.

    TV Dinners like Lean Cuisine and stuff. It just happened naturally. I realized I didn't want all that sodium and preservatives in my body. I'm very thankful for MFP!

    If you mix salsa with half a serving of dressing, it goes a lot further without all the extra calories.

    Ruffles Lays and Helluva Good Onion Dip!

    I try not to give up anything, or else I will crave and binge, but this one I had to give up. I can't seem to stop eating them once I start!

    I gave up my mornings. I used to sleep in up until it was practically time to leave for work. Now I get up early and head to the gym.

    Mmm...fat free ranch dressing with salsa and a bit of taco seasoning. So yum!

    BUFFET RESTAURANTS. If I have food in front of me, I'm going to eat it. I can't control my portions in those places and there's nothing healthy there outside of the salad bar, most of it is loaded with sodium and fat. I'm working on giving up Mexican food. While I can choose healthier options, I have a hard time resisting the chips and salsa... oh, and the sour cream. I already gave up the cheese dip

    Pepsi/Candy. Once I started logging calories I realized how much of a waste of calories they were. I don't plan on ever going back, except on occasion.

    Since I came back to MFP 36 days ago, I have not had pizza which I was having multiple times a week. I know I could have it if it is within calorie limit, but it is just to much of a trigger to overeating at this point for me to try to eat a reasonable portion.

    I didn't give up anything entirely.

    I just eat everything in moderation. If I really want french fries I eat them. I'll order a small, satisfy my craving and share the rest.

    If I really want something like Chinese food, which doesn't work the same way, I go on a long run, throw in a half on the elliptical and maybe some lifting and ab works outs 2+ hours at the gym and then I eat the Chinese food.

    I don't really believe in giving up anything entirely. There isn't any food I love that is terrible for me. I only drink Diet Coke as far as soda goes because I LOVE it/am addicted. I never really liked sweets much and was never much of a snacker.

    I really don't believe in giving anything up entirely. I do try to eat more meals at home however. And I gave up red meat...but that was more of a health choice! It was making me sick. Once in a blue moon I'll still have some roast beef tho.
