    I gave up eating huge quantities of all the food I enjoy.
    Now I eat moderate quantities of all the food I enjoy.

    I gave up watching last night's Daily Show before starting work, to go to the gym instead.
    Now I watch last night's Daily Show with my lunch.

    This business is only as hard as you make it on yourself.

    I give up nothing entirely. I make better nutritional decisions overall, but I allow myself "forbidden" foods from time to time. Things like soda, pizza, candy, etc were once a major player in my day to day diet...I still enjoy those things, but they take a back seat now to my fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

    I gave up excuses and lying to myself.

    I gave up daily weighing and frustration over the scale.

    I gave up four inches from my waist and a few more from my hips.

    It's been fantastic.

    I gave up soda, .Diabetes medication and 65 pounds so far. I released them happily. Oh I also gave up "pretending to eat the foods I crave in moderation". My mind and body don't seem to understand that term.

    I gave up a ton of stuff. I dumped just about all processed foods, soda, sugar, rice, pasta, potatoes, and non-whole grain products. I switched to whole foods, use low-sodium versions as needed. I gave up some hobbies for working out and running. It's been 2 years and I have never felt better in my life.

    Cottage cheese is awesome

    You can make it into a dessert with fruit and honey or even add vanilla protein powder....
    You can make it savory with spinach and turkey pepperoni

    I became vegan. Not so much for weight loss, but for sustainable health for me and for my one year old son. I want him to grow up knowing where food comes from and that his health is his GREATEST commodity.

    Not hardly...I am the OP .....my reason for the question?
    I am sick of people that want change and are willing to do nothing to get it long term....and can not believe that you do and can.

    Sleeping in. I'm up at 5am every day to get my exercise in and done for the day. Sucks a bit, but TOTALLY worth giving it up!

    It is amazing what we gain when we give up .....perhaps that was a poor choice of word..choose to no longer eat,do,ect.
    I have gained a much happier self!

    Stuff I gave up so far:

    Fast food until I hit my goal
    Big meals better to eat less more often
    My old wardrobe
    My boobies
    100lbs of starvation protection
    Being warm in my house
    Excuses about being big boned
    Daily deep fried delights

    Stuff I still need to give up

    My favorite robe its about 10 sizes too big and the sleeves keep lighting on fire when I cook with it on.
    Diet soda
    Excuses for not dressing like a woman instead of a mom
