    I've given up frozen diet meals. I used to have a Lean Cuisine for lunch every day. It never satisfied me, and I'd end up at the vending machines a couple hours later. Now I bring a homemade lunch every day. I make sure it's something I will actually enjoy eating, around 400 calories.

    Soft drinks
    Fried chicken
    Fast food
    Ice cream!

    But once a while if I get the occasional craving, I'll just try to seek alternatives. Like yoghurt instead of ice cream, or filet o fish without tartar sauce! :)

    I just past my two year anniversary of no soda. I stopped eating fast food at the end of June, I haven't had any since but if I have one every once in a while, I won't feel too bad (The fast food, not the soda).

    None. I just don't eat some of the sweets in as high a quantity as before.

    I haven't given up anything. I'm making a lifestyle change and there is nothing I'm willing to give up for life. However - I don't eat things every day either. Moderation is working well for me.

    I have ended my lifetime love affair with Reese's Cups. I dip dark chocolate in all natural PB now. And Hamburger Helper, the most convenient meal for a family. Also, Swanson Hungry Man Classic Fried Chicken...oh, how I miss thee! But don't miss how crappy I used to feel lol

    I haven't given up anything...I just avoid GMO foods at all costs.

    My motto is "Moderation not deprivation."

    This isn't a food, but since I've changed my eating habits NO more large Mcdonalds sweet teas :-( I used to drink them down like water.

    Nothing because you only live once.
    I don't enjoy anything excessively bad, but a treat at special occasions is a must have.
    Although I do make more of a conscious decision when choosing at a restaurant.

    Soda and juice. Four Loco and Mike's Hard <everything>. Betty Crocker Helpers (you know, hamburger helper, chicken helper, tuna helper). I'll still make them for my family, but I'll eat something else. My reasoning is the same for all: "just not worth how many calories they have."

    You can try to pry the bottle of tequila from my dead fingers.

    Pizza, soda, chips, fast food, anything fried, lots of unhealthy restaurant entreés. Started eating a lot of ice cream lately, gotta give that back up sometime, too. Well, eat less of it at least. Gave up red meat, too, but that was was a decision I made back when I was in middle school.

    Pizza and pasta. They always made me ill but I used to think the yumminess was worth it.

    Same deal with anything containing a significant amount of cream.

    I have arthritis and discovered eliminating nightshade family plants (which are inflammatory) helped flare ups. But I miss tomatos, bell peppers and potatoes...especially since I love New Orleans cooking.

    I haven't given up anything. I eat a lot differently than I used to but I don't swear off certain foods.

    Drinks such as lemonade, bottled iced teas, and coffee. I just drink green tea at home and water at restaurants. I would cut other things out like chips but I don't have control over the groceries so if it's in the house, I end up eating a small amount of it.

    None! I still eat all the same foods I love. I just changed the way I eat them. It worked for me.

    Ice Cream. I know it's my trigger food. I have never been able to control how much of it I eat, so I don't anymore. I stopped eating it just before my bariatric surgery last July, so over a year ago now. I don't miss it and do not want to add it back into my food plan. It's just no longer important to me.

    Regular soda. That's it... everything else I allow myself to enjoy, just in smaller quantities and less often.

    Donuts, Kolaches, fried chicken, white flour anything and white rice. Artificial sweeteners except on the RARE occasion. Fried anything.

    What do I miss? Donuts, Kolaches, . . . ha ha just kidding. The only thing I really miss and I'm working on doing it healthy: coconut shrimp and jasmine rice.

    Basically, simple carbs. Everytime I eat white bread, potatos, rice, sugar, anything made from white flour, I'll gain anywhere from 1 to 2 pounds the next day. So, I kind of gave them up. I will only eat them maybe twice a week, and in much smaller servings.

    I've found that I don't crave them anymore, so it isn't that hard.
