    I gave up that bloated guilty feeling I have after eating a 1000+ calorie bag of potato chips, any kind. :)

    Animal products. Meat, cheese, dairy, etc. I did not start this for weight loss,however, I started it for my health. The weight loss is just a FABULOUS bonus!!

    Regular soda (I only have diet now if any at all) and fruit juices that I THOUGHT were good for you until I saw the calorie count. Also don't go out to eat as much but I still go out. Honestly, nothing's off limits, just moderated.

    I also have not had any alcohol whatsoever since I started tracking. Which wasn't a conscious decision, I just haven't had much opportunity or desire for it (the thought of having to log a Smirnoff Ice or a long island iced tea from Houlihan's isn't very pleasant...)

    Most fast food. I used to do McD's for breakfast, Wendy's for lunch, and Taco Bell for dinner. Almost every day. I still have Taco Bell's fresco menu occasionally, and when I'm short on time I'll hit a Subway. Even if it's not the best, it's SO much better than what I used to do!

    I gave up all pop first and lost 10lb right away. Then it was the junk food and portion control. It was hard to go from being able to eat 4 slices of pizza down to controlling and eating 1-2. We dont keep chips or cookies in our house, its all fruits and veggies and cheese for snacks.

    Wine may be my worst enemy. I am trying to cut back. used to have a glass a night and more on weekends, but now trying only to have a couple of glasses (3) one night during the weekend. It's hard but so far so good! (2 weeks in)

    Sleeping in and a life of lethargy. That's pretty much it.

    Two weeks ago my doctor said that I had to cut out bread and pasta (pretty much anything with flour), snacks, and sugar. I'm a snacker, so that part has been hard; and I absolutely love pasta...but I ironically enough, I haven't missed it yet.

    McDonalds Sausage and Egg Muffin Breakfast...I used to eat it everyday! I feel much better eating a more balanced breakfast now though, so I'm not missing it too much. I also gave up the two sugars I used to have in my coffee/tea, I drank about ten cups a day so it really added up!

    I'm trying to think of something that I gave up completely, and I just can't. There are many things that I only have on special occassions now, like ice cream. I only eat fast food 2-3 times a month when it used to be 2-3 times or more a week!

    Simple, eating whatever I want whenever I want and however much I want of it. Freedom ain't everything.

    I've given up fast food, candy bars, and chips. Not forever but for right now. I don't want to starting cheating until I start seeing progress.

    Juice, chips, candy...
    In high school I could eat anything and everything and was thinner than I am now. So stupid!
