    I gave up dairy, gluten/wheat, and sweets..I am allergic to the first two and can't control over eating on the last.

    I gave up my free will to eat what I please. I gave up eating an unlimited amount of food and eating however many servings I liked, whenever I want to.

    I gave up all those Gallons of Sweet Tea this Southern Girl used to drink. :drinker: :noway: If I have a craving for some I still have me a sip every so often. Don't really miss my tea not being sweet. :noway: I also gave up sitting on my *kitten* so much too. :laugh: I get up and move around more at work now and don't just come home and sit on the couch all evening. :happy:

    for the most part, pizza, anything too oily or greasy, most fast food, soda, all fried foods, and a lot of sweets.

    I still have a lot of those things every once in a while but i cut it waaaaay back, i ate out a lot and was always on the go, but i cut it out a lot i don't usually even think about it now or crave most of it, and when i do i'll have some but i don't go balls out

    Every single food that I loved and most of the ones I liked. Pretty much can't eat anything, if I want to keep losing.

    I've tried to give up bread as much as I can, but mainly it's just been portion control and more exercise, I don't feel like I've deprived myself of anything.

    There are a lot of foods that I tend to eat on a lot more limited basis. Things like cheese, salad dressings, and white starches (like spaghetti). There are also certain foods I don't keep in the house so I don't eat them impulsively (like sweets). Not saying I never eat these foods - but basically, my preference is to eat as much food as I can with as low as calories as I can. I think eating certain foods on a limited basis is what helped me to maintain for a long time.
