Eating everything in sight, lol. Portion control became my mantra and over the last year i have learned how to make a bag of chips last a week or a bag of dove squares last a couple of weeks, :drinker:0

nothing.. I still eat everything I used to in moderation.
This!!0 -
Nothing, but I do have longer streches I don't eat pizza. I never eat full pieces of cakes or cookies.0
-
I gave up quitting ;-)0

Non-water liquids to satisfy thirst. I only drink water for thirst now - I will still occasionally drink a small cup of pop (I've had one in the past 3 months) or a glass of milk or juice (can count on one hand in the past 6 mo). I do have a protein smoothie almost every night and I do have a mug of tea with some sugar on cold days, but water is pretty much my biggest life style change. I haven't had any issues cutting cals - all I had to do was start drinking water for thirst and it made a huge difference.0

lots of sweets, but especially ice cream! It is not allowed in our house.... it's the one food I just can't help myself around.0

gave up Binge Eating.0

cant say ive given up anything, except the eating for 4 part.
^^^^ This! LOL
There's lots of stuff I haven't had since I started this journey, but only because I don't have the calories to spare. I prefer to eat low cal stuff, so I can have lots of it and be full all day. I don't want to blow all my calories on one meal, then be hungry the rest of the day.0 -
Diet soda. I literally only drank it and it made my sweet tooth so much worse. I lived off of vanilla coke zero and pepsi max.0

Pop and fast food/eating out.0

peanut butter, junk food, almost all meat. BAKED GOODS! some days i dream about red velvet cake. no lie. it's pathetic. :sad:
you act as if peanut butter is bad for you. Its a protein source in my opinion and a good one for vegetarians like myself. Its not like a twinkie or something...wow0 -

I love peanut butter!0 -
I gave up sitting on my *kitten* doing nothing0

Ordinary size meals, fizzy anything, alcohol...... I had bariatric surgery and it has changed my whole life. However whenever I see a plate of gorgeous food and I wish I could eat it all I remembr how I used to feel walking home from work with pains in my hips and knees, lifting my stomach to wash in the shower......I was only 36 and it was a very small price to pay for a second chance at life.0
-
ive decreased SIGNIFICANTLY soda/sugary drinks. I went on a water binge for a week (drinking half my weight)...ever since then. anything other than water, tea or coffee just doesn't do it for me.
Other than that...everything else in moderation.
Oh yea...I gave up being lazy/tv. I would always use a show as a reason as to why i couldn't exercise at certain times. Then...I put me before the shows and enjoy the wonderful feature of 'on demand' :-)0 -
I RARELY eat out anymore. It's crazy how quickly the pounds can fall off and how full my wallet can stay when I don't eat fast food for every meal.0
