    I still eat anything I want. The difference now is that I plan so that whatever it is can be apart of what I enjoy without going over my daily goals.

    Stress eating. I'm a lot more introspective and cognizant of why I feel that I have to eat in response to a particular situation.

    Eating between meals. I used to graze all day every day, especially in the late afternoons. Now I stick to meal times and have had only a few slip-ups in the past 2-1/2 months.

    I have noticed that there are a few things I used to eat that aren't worth wasting the calories on anymore, like sugar cookies. The bank puts them out on Fridays, and they don't even tempt me.

    A lot, actually, but it was not as hard to do as I thought it would be. We'll see how the holidays go...

    Sugar
    Bread (except a specific low-carb bread which I have once a day in a sandwich for lunch)
    Rice
    Potatoes
    Sugar-sodas (I allow myself one Coke Zero a day)
    Fried Foods
    Fast Food

    Cut way back on pop too, only seem to have about 8oz worth a week. I still drink juices, coffee, tea..etc. I don't go to fast food as much, though I still go to regular sit down places..I haven't gave up anything, I still eat what I want to in moderation.

    I eat in moderation
    And because of that... I was able to give up my 3x/ 2x/ 1x/ and XL clothing. Those... I don't miss at all!! ;)

    nothing, I have everything I used to, just in moderation. I'll have a soda or 2 a month, dessert once a week, or if I'm craving it. No point in making yourself miserable while trying to obtain your goal! If you can go without, that's awesome! Personally, I'd go crazy without a cookie every now and then :P Just don't go too Crazy with it and you'll still get the results you want!

    Energy drinks (replaced with define*8 at the moment) and trying to kick Hot Chips, it leads to other terrible temptations.

    Also, processed snacks such as museli bars and cheese and cracker dips

    I've always been a healthy eater, but I've pretty much given up drinking-- I might have a drink once a week or two, tops. I've given up drinking my calories in general-- no glasses of milk whenever I feel like it!

    For me it was sloth (as in laziness, not that animal).

    I haven't given up anything but I have definitely cut down!! Frappuccino's and sugary coffee drinks were a big weakness of mine....I've learn to enjoy them in a healthier version or smaller portions :drinker:

    For me: I gave up soda except special occasions and no longer get the # meals at fast food opting instead for just a burger if I go at all (once a month or so)
