Most- high glycemic foods- especially flour, starch (except sweet potatoes), sugar, syrups-I just feel like crap after eating any of them. When I have a sugar craving I eat some honey, usually with a protein such as zero fat greek yogurt.0
-
Cereal has been one of my personal downfalls, too. Especally kid's cereals, the high-sugar ones. I could eat almost a box a day! I've since cut that out, but it's really hard sometimes!0

Sugar as well as artificial sweeteners... No more Sweet and Low or anything (if it can be helped) with artificial sweeteners like Crystal Light.
I do use agave and Stevia to sweeten things.0 -
Well it wasnt fast food, I have 'issues' with who prepares my food and where so I never ate that anyway, never ate from street stands either. All Ive done is cut down my portion sizes. I didnt want to give anything up!!0

Ive cute back on my two loves.....red wine and skittles. I haven't cut them out totally because I only want them more then end up on a massive pig out and wake up on a sugar low n hungover lol......everything in moderation I say:happy:0

I gave up my time.
I used to have tons of free time to just lounge around, knit, watch tv, read, whatever. Now I go to the gym. I can't make plans on MWF because those are my gym evenings, and my plans on Saturday often start with telling someone "Well I'm going to the gym first, so it'll have to be a little later." And then there's all the time spent cooking, logging, planning everything.
And I gave up being able to just decide what I want when I get hungry. Now it's all planned and cooked ahead.0 -

Cottage cheese0

I gave up a life.....for a new one...one without fast food, greese, sweets, bread or pop......and I'm happy in doing so and much healthier....0

Fast food for the most part (maybe once a month) and I don't drink soda at all anymore. Only when I'm having a migraine and I need a rush of caffeine to take my meds with and I'll have one of those really small cans.0
-
Second helpings and cocktails.0
-
I gave up my self-loathing and negative mindset.0
-
Stopped pop and sitting on the sofa...:)0

non sugar free monsters/energy drinks. I'll drink a sugarfree one once in a while, but for the most part I stopped high caffeine beverages as a whole.0

- energy drinks
- white bread
- whole milk (for the most part)
- sandwiches with peanut butter and nutella
- enchiladas ;(0 -

EXCUSES0
-
I no longer drink coke and other carbonated drinks. good news, they make me wanna throw up now.0

For me, I am a big tv and movie person. When I get off work, I work out. But I would use the excuse of I will workout after X show and then get comfortable and not workout. So the saying A body in motion stays in motion and a body at rest stays at rest is true. I just had to discipline myself to workout first and I can always watch the show later.
Pizza is my main food weakness that I really fight to give up.0
