    Pizza... to calorie/fat heavy. I want it but it's just not worth it to eat for me now. I think about ALL the other stuff I could have for those calories and can't make myself just eat the pizza! .... and I know if I buy a pizza I will eat it until ALL gone.. nope not going there!

    Ive only given up on going my local Chinese buffet, I cant justify spending $13 and only having a cup of this and a cup of that for that that price. Otherwise I have given up nothing.

    Starbucks -- I haven't been there since I started MFP and I don't miss it. I still have my coffee at home, but I have no desire for the fancy lattes or frapuccinos, etc. It was a daily ritual, and I'm glad I broke the habit. I figure I'm saving about $1300 a year just by not stopping at Starbuck's on the way to work.

    Meat but not for weight loss purposes.

    For weight loss I haven't given up anything and won't. The "bad" foods I love I will still have but will have smaller portions or get an extra workout in to give me the cals needed.

    Soda and fruit juices. I make crystal light gallons for my family and I instead. It's just sweet enough with none of the guilt. :)


    FIY: Did you know that if you add baking soda and peroxide to a 1/4 bottle of MT. Dew you will have a homemade GLOW stick (or bottle)?

    That alone makes me never want to touch that stuff!

    Definitely giving up the drive thru is the best one all around! I refuse to buy take out at all anymore. I cook at home and save so much money and guilt. I've also given up dairy and fried foods.

    fast food. this has always been my biggest weakness...if i allow myself to have it just once, i think it will open a door to making more bad choices. So, I haven't had any in 5 weeks! And i don't even miss it!

    I don't eat chips, cookies, or ice cream. Chips were the hardest to give up. But I'd sit down with a bag of them and eat the whole thing .. so they're one of my weakness foods and that's the only reason I cut them out completely.

    No more fast food, because it's another weakness. I friggin' love McDonalds.

    Everything else, I wouldn't mind having once in awhile.

    Soda, I drink once a week .. when I used to be drinking at least 2-3 a day.

    I didn't give up anything so far. I believe in evreything in moderation. I don't want to deprive myself and then end up gaining the weight back in the end.

    this.

    For medical reasons I have given up meat, eggs and dairy (all make me quite naseous/dizzy and set off my IBS) and gluten because of Celiac disease.

    So that also means I gave up donuts, cookies, anything breaded, pizza....the list goes on.

    I also can't have anything overly greasy/oily, so very lmited chips, fast food french fries etc.

    I haven't really given up anything. I just measure things more closely. I have found that I have underestimated most of my serving sizes in the past. What I thought was one serving turned out to be 2 or more. So now I am trying to stick to the right portion sizes. I also always ask myself "Is it really worth the calories?" If not I dont eat it. There are times when I do crave some "junk". I have found that those times a small portion of the junk food is worth the calories because if I don't eat something I am really craving I tend to overeat other things trying to satisfy the craving. Good luck to you in obtaining your goals.
