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

    Why on earth would you do that? Coffee is very good for you. Has antioxidants, almost zero calories, and some other health benefits. Bacon is life. Fast food and restaurants don't have to be high cal just like home cooked doesn't have to be low: just be pickier. I understand the last three, though small amounts are no big deal.

    p.s. I miss sitting on my butt, eating Doritos straight out of the bag, drinking coke and watching tv.

    Really? Think about it. Do you REALLY miss that feeling?

    Dr. Pepper!

    I will drink a Diet Cherry Coke occasionally, but I just cannot justify drinking calories very often.

    Another thing is PIZZA. I still have homemade, healthier kinds sometimes though to get my fix!

    I can't just drink one regular cup, it has to be 4 tbsp of brewed ground coffee per 8oz and I drink one 40oz with lots cream in the morning and another one around 2pm, it made my heart pound. Eating out means I can't control how much sugar and fats they put in the food (I'm diabetic) Sooo yeah, I'm that type where it's all or nothing. There's no such thing as a happy medium =(

    Toast in the morning
    ^^This. My pre-breakfast breakfast. And sometimes post-breakfast snack. And afternoon snack. Love toast. Now I have it very occasionally (say, after a workout) with some peanut butter.

    Wow, the strange thing is that I'm sitting here trying to think of one single food that I have given up since starting on here and I can't think of anything. Kind of an epiphany. Corny but I guess the things I've given up are giving up and yoyo/crash dieting.

    There is definitely a long list of things that I eat a hell of a lot less of though

    Just.. eating too much, and being lazy. And thinking I couldn't do stuff. I guess I missed the memo about having to give up foods you like. :ohwell:

    I haven't given up anything fully. I am a strong believer in moderation. It seems to be working well for me so far!

    I haven't given up anything. Moderation e.g 1 suchet of suger instead of 2. No Coke but water all the way. Grill, bake & so on.

    I haven't totally given anything up... well, most fast food I guess. I didn't eat any for a long time when I started on MFP, and then decided to get wild one day and stop by McDonald's. My tummy was very angry. Good bye McRibs (no comments, I know how bad they are and I don't care!:laugh: ).

    I let my self have soda on the weekends, but I can't tell you when I acutally finished a can or 20 oz bottle... not even cherry Dr. Pepper, which is the finest invention in beverage history. I never thought I'd say this, but when I want a nice cold refreshing drink, I like to get some water with lots of ice.
