What did you give up?

Coca Cola, I haven't had a soda since January 1st

cheese puffs .......I had one the other day and all I tasted was chemicals YUCK

This content has been removed.

Gardetto's and Chex Mix. Extra calories or not, I have no self-control...I'll eat the whole bag in one sitting.

I strongly believe that Satan toasts those rye chips in his front lawn... they are sinfully good.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! lol

Nothing! As long as I control portions and track everything I can have whatever I want in moderation.

Alcohol.

I gave up Chorizo hash for lent. To make sure I'm actually giving something up I've gone to the restaurant that serves it a few times and ordered something else. It's hard because it's so fricken yummy and I want it. It's been good because I've at least tried a few other things.

As far as what I've given up during my efforts to get fit...

I no longer put potato chips inside my tuna fish sandwiches. Everything else I have in moderation or I add extra workout time to make sure the whatever doesn't wreck my efforts. Oh, and the two times I had five guys in the last 14 months I got a single patty burger instead of the double patty burger. Still cheese and bacon and grilled onions but only the one patty.

For lent I gave up soda and sweets.But for life, I won't give up anything for good because then I will feel deprieved. i just dont eat everything all day long and not do any activity!

Chips - I can't eat them in moderation. It's like they're my gateway drug, flipping the Bad Eating switch in my brain, and it takes a ton of willpower to turn that switch off. Better not to have them at all.

Dunkin Donuts

Tortilla chips, but still drinking Dr. Pepper! (in moderation):happy:

OP, if you like Mountain Dew (which tastes remarkably like urine), why give it up? Anything in moderation.

Well, if she's anything like me, there is no moderation with Mt. Dew; it's all or nothing.

Coffee, diet soda, bacon *sad panda*, fast food, eating at restaurants, pastries, chips, refined sugar... I basically gave up on living.

Eating crap foods (except on very rare occasion), and sitting on my butt all the time.

Nothing entirely...but I limit a lot of stuff I used to consume regularly and in mass quantities:

- Soda (used to be 3-6 (12 Oz) per day...now maybe one 12 Oz every couple weeks or so)

- Chili Cheese Dogs at the Dog House down town (about 1,300-1,500 calorie lunch there once per week...now, maybe once per month when I take my kiddo to the zoo)

- Lay's potato chips (easily 1 large bag every couple days...now, maybe one serving per week)

- New Mexican food (pretty much two to three times per week out at one of the gazillion NM restaurants here in ABQ, at about 1,600 calories a pop...now, about once per month)

- Chips and Salsa - Frequent lazy weekend lunch would be about 4 servings of chips and salsa with 1/4 Lb of cheddar and a pint of whole milk...now, a serving or so when we're out eating NM food)

- Cheese (I used to eat 1/4 Lb plus per day...now I have maybe 1/2 oz to and 1 Oz a couple times per week)

- Whole milk (actually have cut this out...used to drink 1/2 gallon whole milk per day...now about 8 Oz 1% per day)

ribs and ice cream
