I'm horrible about not eating my calories but drinking them. I'm big on sweet drinks like pepsi, sweet tea and coffee. Recently I decided to give up the pepsi and sweet tea but I can't give up coffee. So whats you one thing you can't give up?

    well for me I can't give up Dr Pepper. I can go a few days without one but I need a "fix" every few days

    pop corn. Specifically Jiffy Pop. but I keep it to a minimum now, maybe 1 a week, sometimes 2 if it's a rough week. I now fill up the rest with air popped, which is still quite tasty, but far less calories, and lower in the bad stuff.

    Cheese, but it's a portion control issue. I have room in my daily calories specifically for that.

    I kicked pop and sugary drinks a while ago, but I have a hard time giving up beer and the like. A few beers here and there seem to make life a little more livable. I never even considered giving up coffee.

    My wife. I can't give her up for anything. Nothing else would be worth it. And this new lifestyle wouldn't work without her.

    Cream in my coffee. It's just not the same with milk.

    Pizza! I have found a super thin crust, veggie heavy, light dressing pizza at Papa Murphy's however. 200 cals per 1/8 of the pizza. 1/8 of a large pizza is big and I eat two of 'em! 400 cal dinner. Not too terrible. :)

    :drinker: Coffee with cream. Sorry-I will allow for this every day-otherwise, I wouldn't be able to function!

    Coffee with Splenda and creamer. I have switched to unsweetened vanilla almond milk for my creamer, though!

    I thought I couldn't give up sugary iced tea (in the gallon jug). But I started drinking the diet kind. So now I can't give up diet tea, preferrably Schneider's :o)

    This seems to change from time to time, especially depending on the season, but lately I cannot seem to go without some refined sugar! Thankfully, I found these cinnamon lollipops that will last an hour and they're only 70 calories.

    Potatoes. I can do without loading them or frying them, but I've got to have them. My favorite is eating diced, baked potato hash browns with poached eggs whites in the morning.

    Awwwwwwww... that is so sweet!!

    Mine would prolly have to be soda. I'm so addicted to Dr. Pepper, but I have gone 3 days without it now. Think I might try to give it up for lent this coming year.

    Chocolate!!! I keep Hershey's Kisses on hand so that I only eat 1-2 (26 cal each), instead of hitting up a vending machine and getting something worse!

    I've tried not to give up anything for good. I just eat less of it or have it less frequently. My main ones are cheese, wine/beer and bread.

    Another sweet drink fiend here. I've switched to Diet Dr Pepper or Coke Zero -- the cherry kind of both is a lot easier to take -- but I still need a "real" one every now and then.

    It stinks that even diet sodas are still pretty bad for you, especially your teeth! I don't even miss alcohol or red meat, and never smoked or drank coffee, but soda is probably worse than all of those (except cigarettes)!

    Pizza - have always loved it. Have done very well lately though, only went out for it once this month and limited myself to two pieces (but I did have a few breadsticks too!) Ice cream in the summertime would be a close second. Try to do more frozen yogurt or reduced fat but its just not the same!

    Ice cream.
    I usually go without, though because it is very expensive! When it goes on sale in the Fall i stock my freezer up, so now i have about 1/2 cup every other day! Mmmm.

    Chocolate and wine (often together). Luckily I don't have too, as there are plenty of low calorie desserts I prepare (and I'm not a "no sugar" dieter) and I've gotten down with the red wine more now - "healthy heart" is my token excuse, lol.

    Pizza for sure!
