    Oh, so many things that I could list! But pizza is definitely at the top. And then beer and wine. I could live off of those three things if I could.

    Don't give up, or you're a quitter. I had pizza again today for lunch. :tongue:

    The one thing that I gave up was lunch meat…kinda by accident. For about the first 6 – 7 months of my healthy change I would have a turkey sandwich almost every day for lunch so obviously for me, it wasn’t a deterrent from weight loss. But with the high sodium and everything I figured I would try to give it up for a month and then have it occasionally. Well, that month went by fast and before I knew it, I wasn’t even interested in having that for lunch anymore. Then, when I finally did have a turkey sandwich one day for lunch – I didn’t like it. After 40 years of life, I no longer like lunch meat – it’s a little sad. Sometimes I just want a damn turkey hoagie or sandwich and every time I’ve tried – boom, I don’t like it. The taste, texture….disappointing. :laugh:

    That being said, I still will attempt to tear up an Italian hoagie every now and then. By tear I now mean order with high hopes and then be disappointed that I am full and I barely ate half of it. LOL.

    So long story short (too late), I gave up turkey lunch meat. :bigsmile:

    :yawn: You don't have to "give up" anything. I have two words for you: Portion Control. When you try to give up foods you will end up binging.

    Just a question, relax lol I didnt say anything about actually giving up anything

    Anything dairy, especially sour cream. I used to drench my potato and tacos in that lovely mess. Pasta, red wine, chocolate cake.

    Do I have to pick just one??? Probably my biggest downfall is chocolate. Is that food? I feel it's a real NEED -- not want. When it comes to "food" -- I love anything Mexican.

    I haven't really given up anything, I just have it less often.

    I dont cut any foods I love.
    IIFYM!

    THIS.

    Although some things are harder to fit in, like croissants. Love them, but not filling at all for the 350+ calories so I think I've had maybe three in 2 years...

    Kinder Surprise Eggs.

    My mom was able to sneak me some from Mexico up until a few years ago. I'd be able to eat them if I went to Mexico with her but I don't feel it's safe enough to go.

    I didn't give up anything completely that I ate before, but had a difficult time to limit pasta ( with brown butter,and cheese ), rice ( plain white or brown ) and cheese, Camembert and Gorgonzola above all.
    I cut it out for a little while and now can handle it without problems once a month or so.

    See if you can find Walden Farms Pancake Syrup. It's calorie/carb free. Not 100% identical to regular syrup, but it's a good fake. lol!!

    What is it made of, if it has no calories....even if it is less than 5 calories per serving to qualify as calorie free ?

    Nut butters! I always go overboard and end up eating the whole jar within a day. I can never stop at just a spoonful so I have had to just stop buying it.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say they were relaxed to begin with and even if they weren't, I think 3 years later they probably are.

    But seriously, LOL. Whyyyyyyyyyy respond after 3 years????

    Cake... chocolate... Diet Coke... crusty bread... french fries... cheese... pizza...

    I'm doing much better with the cheese. I'm trying to cut back on the Diet Coke, but I figure that can be the last thing to stop eating. I want to be used to a diet that's healthier in general before doing anything too wild. :P

    Cookies, chips, French fries.

    Everything else I can moderate but when I get my hands on any of these I can't stop
