oatmeal. I love it so much and if it's in my house I'll eat it. I keep recommitting to cut out filler foods but oatmeal is tough to keep out in the winter.0

Sodium. Given up for health reasons. Low sodium diet SUCKS.
Cutting calories hasn't been hard. Exercising everyday has even helped my fibromyalgia a little. But just becoming aware of how much sodium that is in everything has me in fits.
Forget eating out on a low sodium diet. It doesn't happen.0 -
Nutella !! :P0

My husband's homemade pies, if it's there I will eat it and not just a little bit.0

My wheelchair. After that auto accident it took me 6 months to walk again. It was so difficult to get up and walk normally.0

Going out for long, leisurely meals with friends. The kind when you drink lots of lovely wine. I have done this a couple of times since I started my diet 9 months ago and it was great, but I think that is enough times.
Otherwise I haven't cut anything out. I have a nibble of something if people are eating dessert all around me- just a taste. I still eat a small piece of cheese a day which is my biggest weakness, but I don't buy the kind of cheese I really love, the runny, smelly French kind, because that would truly be irresistible. I used to love olive oil and unsalted butter, but hardly have it now. Luckily I am a good cook and have time as I am retired, so I can find alternatives to most things I love and I really enjoy my food.
I have given up pastry though. I used to bake cakes all the time and put on lbs. Now I bake for my husband who is mega skinny and I have a bite if I cant resist. If I eat a plain scone I count in the cals as I am on 1600 inc exercise.
So far I have lost 39lbs and would like to lose at least 10 more.0 -

Eating without thinking. Now that I count calories I have to actually *think* about everything I eat. Thinking sucks. :grumble:
Omg THIS! All this macronutrient and calorie stuff is basic math, really, but screw math. There's a reason I didn't become a math major after graduating high school sheesh. :grumble:0 -
Sorry, but I have given up nothing.... cut back on the amount and how often I have certain foods... but have not given up anything.
Okay, I gave up cigarettes in 1995... that was kind of hard. Does that count??0 -
SIGHHHH SUGAR,JUICE AND ICE CREAM0

I don't give up anything. I just make it fit my calorie and macro goals and have at it.0

I don't give up hard things.
I just can't.
Not ever.0 -
SALT. I would rather lose weight than give up salt. I am so serious about not giving up salt I am exercising more. I am on the borderline of developing hypertension. I am hoping if I lose a bunch of weight I won't have to give up salt. Prior to finding out that I have other health issues besides my weight, I was just concentrating on eating healthier and I did lose some weight, don't know how much cuz I wasn't trying to lose weight and I didn't have a scale. I just got a scale. I have cut back a bit on the sodium because my tastes are changing, I think because I am eating a lot more vegetables. But, I don't want a low sodium diet no way no how.0
