    Fried foods and sweets. Oh my how I miss them!

    Really it has only been two main things I have sorta given up: pecan pie every Sunday Brunch and cornbread pudding with loads of fresh honey and freshly churned butter for Sunday Dinner. I have just given them up in the respect that I won't have them every week, but once a month. So far I have lost 16 pounds because of this and other things I have cut back on. But, I must admit that Sunday isn't the same without them...

    The main thing I had to give up was sweet tea. I used to drink it all day. Now I drink water. Sometimes I'll get a glass but it's only every once in a while. I've been eating other things in moderation.

    Fried porkchops and biscuits. I only ate porkchops fried so I pretty much gave them up all together. Biscuits I still eat maybe once a week but they're the hardest. I use to make biscuits and gravy every week. I just love making fresh biscuits. I try to save them for the holidays now.

    I gave up sweet tea and now use Splenda in my tea instead. I feel like I'm having my sweet tea and losing weight too, LOL!

    Nothing really. I limit my friend foods. Some foods I've lightened up to enjoy more. Some I just indulge in from time to time.

    Sweet tea for sure. But after a year, don't miss it at all. Though my family thinks I've gone anti-country :)

    Sweet tea and pecan pie. I still eat most things, with the exception of desserts. I just have to practice strict portion control. Since I'm diabetic, I have to make changes that I can live with for the rest of my life. I can't think of it as only loosing weight.

    Sweet Tea is the biggest thing that I've given up. I replaced it with a Crystal Light Sweet Tea, and Crystal Light Raspberry Green Tea. That has helped a lot. Especially since I have to keep regular sweet tea for my husband.

    Mac cheese, grits, biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak and gravy, sweet tea!

    Thank God country music is no carb! I need me some bad boys when doing barn chores!
