what can't you give up?

I always thought that the item I couldn't give up was fizzy pop. but I'm really being risky and trying not to drink fizzy pop for the month and see how I feel at the end, if all goes well it could be the end of my addiction to caffeine. Having said that tho' I cannot live without coffee shop drinks e.g. Starbucks Frapacino, Costa Creamy Cooler etc.

Sadly? Alcohol. But... dropping it as of today. Just for March to see what changes I can see in my life as a result.

I didn't think I could ever give it up. I used to drink heavily for 6 days a week (which is how I put so much weight on to begin with). I wondered if I was a permanent alcoholic. But once I started with MFP I slowly stopped drinking when I realized it was standing between me and my goal, not to mention that it triggered eating binges.

So now I don't drink hardly at all, except on Saturday nights with my friends.

Whenever I get a cold though (which is frequently), I find bourbon to be a great cure-all, so I still drink then.

Best of luck to you; it can be done. But for me, I had to realize that I wasn't doing myself any favors.

From experience, I can tell you that pop is hard as hell to quit drinking. That said, I weened myself off of the stuff maybe a year ago doing a new years resolution thing. I recommend substituting it for anything other than pop, whether it's good for you or not and just keep doing that until you forget what Dr. Pepper taste like. Drink sugary drinks, juices, vitamin waters, anything else. Once you've gone a month or two it should be easy at that point. From then on try to drink things with less calories such as water (what I drink by far the most of now), green tea, coffee, milk, etc.

Regular Coke is really the ONLY thing I can say I have given up. With diabetes, its just not a good idea.

I don't give anything up.

I just don't eat as much of it.

This.

btw the reason i gave up certain foods is becuase i literally cannot eat them in moderation... example: COOKIES lol, i used to eat cookies like a meal.

Yeah I don't give up anything either. I used to go cold turkey and go on healthy mode but found out that it does not work for me. Portion control/everything in moderation is my motto! I just learned to exercise more so I can eat what I want lol.
