    Nothing yet, hopefully I can make it to goal and not have to cut anything. :ohwell:

    I have made it to goal, lost 23 lbs. slowly over eight months and nothing cut out...everything in moderation or just a taste works for me. We cannot cut out everything we love because we know we will miss those foods and eventually go back to eating them, maybe with a vengeance. Good luck!

    I've only cut out soda and sugary drinks-- I watch my sugar in general but I keep my portions in check and can eat whatever I want for the most part.

    Mainly just breads and pasta. I don't eat soy based products either, but that isn't a new change. I haven't eaten soy for years.

    1. Doughnuts/pastries/etc.
    2. Deep fried things (fries, onion rings, chicken wings)
    3. Cheese on sandwiches--when I load it up with veggies, I don't even miss the cheese on my subs!
    4. The "white" carbs--pasta, bread, potatoes
    5. Not totally cut out, but I've really really cut back on alcohol!

    This is my list of things I don't need, but are my guilty pleasure. When i press "Post Reply" that means I will never eat these things ever again.


    1.) Food from my work ( I work at domino's pizza)
    2.) Ice Cream and Cookies
    3.) Fast Food (McDonald's, Burger King, etc.)
    4.) Sodas (Diet included)
    5.) Uuhhh, and excessive cheese... that sounds weird but, hey I do eat a lot of that stuff from time to time.

    The only think I can think of is cereal. Just because I can't be trusted to eat a portion size. I want the whole box.

    The only thing I quit was eating so many processed foods, AND...I quit starving myself till noon, eat a huge breakfast, and eat small frequent meals through out the day. Works for me.

    Nothing in particular...BUT I have stopped eating any food that I find I don't thoroughly enjoy--for example, if the "old me" went to a restaurant or a party and had an item she didn't particularly like (a pie that was too sweet or tart; some BBQ that wasn't quite up to par, cold french fries) she used to continue eating it until she finished the item. Now if "New Me" gets an item I don't find delicious, I STOP EATING IMMEDIATELY and either send it back or trash it. I don't want to waste a single calorie on sub-par food or snacks.

    YES!!!! Can't waste calories for disgusting food! Totally agree!

    I find I do the same thing. After two or three bites if I'm not *really tempted to continue, I just don't. I had a friend of mine call it willpower to stop, but I don't really see it that way anymore - I just want to SAVOR my food, and enjoy it, knowing that the calories count, and if I reach my daily budget on stuff that's just "Ok", it isn't worth it to me.

    How do you actually cut out the sugary rubbish? I'm so addicted and I have no idea how to kick the habit.

    For me, it's everything in moderation. I would say french fries, but I don't always cut those out because I can bake them myself! :-)

    1. Ice Cream
    2. Cake
    3. Fried Foods
    4. Eating TOO many Processed Foods
    5. Fast food fries ( not homemade)

    I haven't specifically cut anything out, but I no longer eat the leftovers from my child's plate. I realized I was unknowingly consuming 200-300 extra calories a day just by having a few bites of her left over grilled cheese, or cupcake... etc.!! crazy!
