I know there is a thread asking what we simply cannot and will not give up but what about all the unhealthy things that we HAVE given up?
I have never eaten much fast food or many take aways but the I did used to eat a lot of shop bought pizza's (a small Pizza Express Margarita was my pizza of choice and I used to have one at least once a week. They are 600 cals a pop!!)
I have totally cut them out.
I have also cut out garlic bread (which I would have 2/3 times a week - either shop bought or home made)
My main achievement to date is giving up wine (I'd have at least 2 bottles a week) and crisps - 3/4 packs a week!!
I don't even feel like I am 'missing' anything.
What unhealthy things have you guys cut back on that you used to eat lots of??

I haven't conciously given up anything, but haven't bought any ice cream since I started mfp.0

Diet Coke!! Didnt realise how bad it was for you and how much it can hinder weight loss until I started reading a lot of information on here about it. I used to drink far too much of it daily, but have started drinking water instead now :-)0

Beer and McDonalds Bacon & Egg McMuffins!
I've also drastically cut back on my chocolate intake, and have promised myself a bacon sandwich (just the one, on a Sunday morning!) when the scales grant me permission!
Having said all that, I do believe that everything in moderation is the key to success, and by barring some foods from our diet completely we only crave them more.

Absolutely nothing its about moderation!
Instead of 6 bags of crisps in one sitting maybe 1 every couple of days. If i feel like i cant have something i want it all the more and then ill binge.0 -
The ONLY thing that i've given up is fizzy drinks. Everything else in moderation!0
-
coke, sprite, soda and processed bottle juice - completely given up
Biscuits and potato chips/crisps, candies, chocolate, ice-creams - Limited, very limited.
Luckily I don't crave them unless there's a jar of biscuits in front of me.0 -
i havent really given anything up totally, but ive really cut down on bread0
-
I have given up Diet Coke totally, because it is so bad for you. Everything else is just about portion control.0
-
im trying to follow the 80:20 rule so I eat really healthy choices 80 % of the time/calories so in theory you dont have to cut out everything - but due to health reasons I have cut out -alcohol, artifical sweetners, any foods with preservatives/colouring/artificial flavouring - feels like Ive cut out all the fun things! But I am now enjoying the benefits of the healthier diet -more energy, losing weight, feeling happier, less bloated0

I've given up:
- white pasta
- white rice
- Indial take-aways from my local Indian Restaurant
I've severely cut down on:

I don't drink any soda or juices... just water, coffee and unsweetened tea.
I have a sweet tooth, so candy in general. Specifically - Hot fudge pop-tarts, I can eat a family size box in 2 hours easily.0 -
I also have given up the ole Fudge Pop tarts, which is really hard cause my kids live them. My kids are all under weight so u can't take them out of the house.
I have not had pizza since February 2nd. Pasta is a very very hard thing for me I simply can not take it out of my diet. I'm Italiano can't take away my heritage. I am strict with myself I measure out a portion and don't allow myself seconds.
This is a lifestyle I creating not a diet, so I'm learning moderation is key.0 -
