    QOTD Wednesday Jun 1st - Is there any one food item that you want to give up or have given up since changing to your new healthy lifestyle?

    I have been a coffee junkie since age 10...lol:drinker: I am proud to say I am 1 week coffee sober:bigsmile: Since I started working out in the mornings and eating better, I do not need coffee to wake me up or give me energy.

    I would also like to limit my soda intake, even though I'm drinking a ginger ale as I'm typing this:laugh:

    French bread!!! I could (and, unfortunately do) eat it by the loaf. Low fat? Yes! (I don't need butter, I just rip chunks off) Low calorie? No!

    I want to give up soda. I do for a while and then a headache sends me racing back. The problem is, I'm a total junkie. One taste is enought o send me on a binge.

    OK, I was really addicted to Coca-Cola. LOVE THEM!! I did not completely give them up but I limit myself to about 8 oz when I do drink it and I only have it once or twice a month.

    QOTD Thursday June 1st:

    I haven't given anything up. I can't give anything up. I have limited the amount of certain things I consume. I would say ice cream has really hit the back burner compared to how much I used to eat it. Also, cheez-its, I barely eat that anymore.

    I wouldn't be able to give up anything completely. I am dealing with the portion control of items

    I do try to really limit soda. Since we had Mexican for dinner last night, its fresh in my mind that a "food" I have completely given up is sour cream. I no longer put it on nachos, tacos, baked potatoes, etc. Salsa makes an excellent replacement!

    Monday May 30th- What was your most fun life experience (or one of your most fun experiences)? My 2nd wedding. October 4, 2008, was one of the most amazing, fun, exciting days of my life.

    Tuesday May 31- If you could make any ONE food (or drink) a zero calorie, "free" food, what would it be? PASTA! I love it but the calories/carbs kill my healthy eating plan.

    Wed. June 1 - Is there any one food item that you want to give up or have given up since changing to your new healthy lifestyle? I haven't totally given up anything since I believe everything is fine in moderation. But I have significantly decreased my diet mt dew intake.

    I did give up chocolate and cake for the first three months or so and found it fine as it was Lent and I had made a promise.... now I find the cake is creeping back in and the special treats are becoming a little more frequent, so I need to harden my resolve not to eat sweet treats.

    Well, I really haven't given up much of anything, but made some substitutions....for instance, frozen yogurt instead of ice cream, baked chips or pop chips instead of potato chips, oven baked fries instead of deep fried....stuff like that.

    QOTD Wednesday - food given up or limited...

    Well, I'm not sure I've given anything up per se. I haven't eaten any ice cream since starting mfp, but I haven't really missed it (I'd rather have the hot fudge than the ice cream). I suppose I have limited the sweets quite a bit - I haven't eaten cookies although I seriously want them :) Also cheesecake - I was at a dinner where they served cheesecake for dessert and I only had 3 bites, but boy were they good bites! If you can't guess, I have a big sweet tooth so limiting the sweets is the hardest thing for me to do.

    QOTD Wednesday Jun 1st - Is there any one food item that you want to give up or have given up since changing to your new healthy lifestyle?

    I'm trying to think if there is a food that I have actually stopped consuming all together. Although I don't have a rule against eating any particular foods in moderation, some foods are just no longer worth it to me. I started to realize that I was eating foods that I didn't LOVE, but that were killing my waistline! They include:

    - full calorie soda
    - potato chips
    - most candy

    On the other hand, I absolutely love cakes, kettle corn, and other treats that I continue to eat in moderation. In fact, part of what I love about dieting (yes, I call it dieting) is that I am careful to eat the foods I truly love when I want a treat rather than just eat crap for no reason. In a way, I feel that I have a new appreciation for food :-)

    111lbs! We lost a little person. Wow. We are awesome.

    Hard to believe we have been carrying that little person around for so long! May she be gone and never return!

    I would love to say that I've given up white flour, sugar, salt, and oil. The best I've done is given them up for a week or so...before falling back into my old habits/cravings. It's a work in progress...but plan to get to that point where I can honestly say that I've given them up.
