    NAh, but I didn't really give up anything completely, but I do miss drinking sugary bar drinks and shots when I go out, now I have to stick with vodka clubs and plain vodka shots... its just not the same :cry:

    Why give up something that you enjoy?

    I haven't given up any food or drink. The last thing I gave up and haven't touched since was cigarettes, because unfortunately using them in moderation wasn't possible. Everything else is fair game though!

    I haven't given up anything except overeating.

    for health reasons i have had to eliminate alcohol, acidic/citrusy things, anything spicy or it flares up my bladder and causes immense pain and blood in the urine. i eat that stuff anyway every now and then, but it is easier than it used to be.
    as far as fitness or weight, i just make room for whatever i feel like having. unless i am allergic to it or it triggers pain, i will eat it

    I haven't given up anything completely, but it's been hard to give up eating as much as I want of everything. Moderation sucks.

    I'm not on a temporary weight loss diet. The changes I've made are permanent ones. The foods I've eliminated were cut not just because they made me gain weight but because I have judged them to be unhealthy for my body. If I was just interested in weight loss I would have off-plan treats on occasion. I've done that with good results in the past.

    I never would have believed I could make these changes and be happy with them if I was not living it.

    At this point I can say that the hard part about eliminating foods was thinking about doing it before going through with the elimination. Thinking about no more gourmet ice cream, no more sugary desserts, no more sweet espresso drinks, no more sugary exotic drinks, etc. Wow, it all seemed overwhelmingly difficult.

    Once they were eliminated I felt so good that I never even thought about them. What a surprise! Being around others eating those foods does not bother me at all. I'm not tempted at all.

    Settling into movie night surrounded by crisps, chocolate and some form of cake! By the end of the film I used to reach for more snacks only to realise I had eaten them all in a trance... Didn't even get to taste and enjoy them :'(
    Now I limit the chocolate to a tiny piece of 100 kcal and focus on the enjoyment of it..
    I use half my exercise calories back each day on treats or bank them over a few days for a meal out etc. If I'm going to sweat I will need some compensation.
    To be honest, by cooking skinny alternatives to my regular meals I'm managing to stay within my kcals each day.

    Overeating/binging.

    I mean this seriously. I'm fine with it during the day, but after my evening meal I want to feel fit to burst...followed by tea and biscuits...followed by a large pack of fudge..

    So giving up "feeling over full".....I need to embrace feeling "satisfied"

    Excuses.

    But now that I'm getting cozy with the barbell, it's not that hard.

    Figuratively. I mean, literally, it's always hard. Like, always.
