    My denial was the thing I gave up. I stopped denying that I was making myself larger than I wanted to be. After that realization came the one where I realized I can change that.

    sweets, sugary drinks, pizza, takeaways. I'll have it as a treat every once in a while but it doesn't make me feel good

    chinese buffet...I miss chinese food but I don't trust myself to go into a chinese restaurant.

    I am scared to eat at in buffet... that is a dieter's nightmare.. My kids want to chang mongolian grill and I just keep saying NO...

    I wonder what the chinese restaurant owners would think if I just walked in there with my kitchen scale... Excuse me. I need to weigh this General Tso's right here.
    Hahahahahaha

    Boba drinks, I can't even have them in moderation because alot of shops don't list the calories for them. I imagine it's a lot of calories..ahh but I love it :c

    I really haven't given up anything, I just replaced them:)
    Like sweets with fruits, pasta with rice and so on.
    I think if you replace some unhealthy food with healthier ones it's much more easier:)
    If you are hungry, you just eat something healthier instead of junk food. This really works;)

    McDonalds. I actually had a chicken sandwich from there last week in a pinch because I was starving and it was the only place in this little town I was in. For the most part though I never go there anymore but a year ago is was 1-2 times per day every day.

    Regular soda is the big thing, besides that cupcakes. Which I hard when you bake for parties all the time.

    I gave up lying to myself. I decided to get honest about what and why I was really eating. I gave up this love relationship I have with food and reframed it as one of sustenance and fuel.

    I have also given up:

    fried foods
    chips
    sweets

    For now.
    me too!

    As far as what I eat, nothing, really. I just gave up eating whatever I want, whenever I want.

    Coca-Cola. Was drinking 3-4 per day. Switched to Diet Coke or Coke Zero. I have done it before. Started allowing myself one a week, then began drinking them more frequently and gained everything back plus some, so think I'm done with them, but we'll see. Don't like that I drink the artificial sweeteners, so am down to only one diet drink a day. Hope to give them up by the first of the year, or at least only have one every once in a while instead of daily.

    Also gave up bread for the most part, but since I've reached my goal, I'm allowing myself some bread now. Just trying not to overdo. I could eat it all day long if I let myself.

    Soda pop is really the only thing I gave up. Otherwise, I eat anything I want so long as it fits into my day.

    nothing.. I still eat everything I used to in moderation.
    same here...haven't really given up anything. But hardly ever have pop...unless it's a mixer for my rum or jack :) calmed down on my coffee intake (and the sugar an cream that comes with it). People at work laugh at me cause I still eat Krispy cream donuts too lol.....just not the whole box....and only about once a week, on a work outv day
