What do you refuse to give up?

McGruber03

I can't give up my morning coffee with flavored creamer (and I don't use sugar free/fat free either!). I do stick to 1 cup per day only though. And I can't give up my weekend full flavored brewsky, but I do limit to only one or two. My favorites are Guinness, Shock Top, Blue Moon, Youngs Double Chocolate Stout.

I don't give up anything that I enjoy eating.

Everything in moderation so I give up nothing.

Many many things. Chocolate, cake, biscuits, bread, custard on puddings, Yorkshire puddings, butter. I've just try to have them infrequently. I'm failing at the chocolate bit though.

I've given up meat, booze and caffeine, but those are personal challenges more than dietary decisions.

I guess I havent given up anything....If I really want it, I have it. But that is the tricky part....do I REALLY want it???

Coffee. Unfortunately, my coffee maker has just taken a poo on me and I can only get it at work so I make the best of it! It is really hard to give up sweets for me, but I haven't touched a single sweet in about a week or two.

Beer!!! But i just drink way less of it now. I could down a case by myself in the past. But even with the long weekend i have had only 4 beers and mich ultra at that, only 96 cals!

I used to hit up the Chinese Food place down the street when i needed a pick-me-up. I never portioned out things- I can still easily eat the entire take-out container in one sitting, it's disgusting. I would eat the entire container in one go, before feeling disgusting and defeated and taking a nap. No more of that, I can make a much healthier alternative with veggies and shirataki noodles at home.

I refuse to give up anything. There's no reason to.

I can't give up chocolate, it's just impossible for me ... it's actually my 'medicine' on certain days of the month :laugh: It prevents me from biting off heads of random poor souls that might have, perhaps, looked at me weird :devil:

I'm really not giving up anything ... just adding lots of exercise and trying to eat healthy in general.

I know! I SOOO wish I liked Mich Ultra! I even tried the new flavored ones, but they just tasted like a watered down wine cooler :sad: That's when I decided I won't wasted my $$ on beer I don't like, I'll just drink 1 or 2 of the good stuff. Youngs Double Chocolate Stout is the bomb diggety, but it's like 206 calories per pint! Yikes!! I blame my husband for making me branch out with delicious beer! I used to be fine with $2.99 per six pack South Paw :drinker:

Full fat cheese!! After trying LOADS of different 'light' cheeses it's just not worth saving the calories when you have to sacrifice the flavour.

NoMoreJellyRolls

Chocolate Milk Shake cake soooooo freaking yummy! I refuse to give it up!

Alcohol - (wine, beer, cider). Any diet plan that involves giving up those is not sustainable for me. The really great thing about mfp is that it enables a lifestyle change by focusing on what you eat and making conscious decisions. I can offset the 200 calories of a pint against smaller meals in the day or more exercise. The one thing I have given up that has been a challenge is sugar - it's added to almost every prepared foodstuff.

I refuse to give up on ME this time!

Lina4Lina

I've given up many things or eat them very rarely. The things I've truly given up though, I just don't want to eat any more. I love nice, soft bread but it is hard to keep in my diet regularly so I have it once or twice a year. Chocolate is the only regular 'treat' I keep in my diet.

saragato

Chinese food and a select few fast food things. Moderation's key, mainly. I don't gorge and I make sure not everything is sodium-laden, and of course don't eat it every day.

It's life, might as well enjoy it even if you're making a change for your health and waistline.

Tat2dDom624

I haven't given up anything. Now i just cut down on the portion size, and make sure i log it.

I dont give up Cheese! I'm addicted to it but I just dont eat the fattening cheese.. Oh yeah and Alcohol which is usually just beer anyway

deadbeatsummer

alcohol! for me, I love going out and having a drink with my friends. at this age (22) my main goal is to look good in my going clothes.. so if i have to give up my social life for it it doesn't really seem worth it for me.

I drink probably every week, and have lost 2 stone so far so i'm not doing too badly...

sunshine2212677

i cant give up my glass of red with a nice dinner, and nor do i intend to, i just count the calories and make sure i work it off :0)

Heyyleigh

Coffee mate, although I did switch to the powder.

PatByrne82

if i've the calories i'll eat what i want

012345emma

i dont give up anything i just add it into my daily calorie intake.

Songtothesiren

I've totally changed my attitude to food and exercise. I give up nothing, but I manage my food intake and my exercise so that I'm not having to make compromises or go without.

I haven't given up a single thing. Everything in moderation.

ETA: I take that back. I have stopped drinking soda since I started losing weight but that waisn't because I thought it would help aid my weight loss. I just decided that I was addicted to it and it was far too expensive for me to continue drinking Diet Coke in the amount I was drinking it. I switched to plain ol' water with the occasional carbonated water (because sometimes I just want that carbonation). My 17 yr. old daughter also gave up soda.

elyelyse

I don't give things up, but I am willing to compromise on most things: low sodium, low fat, etc. versions of things.

HOWEVER, lowfat cheese? eew it's like wax. I will not give up creamy full fat cheese! I just won't eat it as often.

wingchunrick

Red wine and cheese. My weakness!
