    BBQ potato chips. And BBQ sauce in general, really. I found that if I had BBQ on anything, I'd just keep eating it, no matter what it was. So I've given up BBQ, unless it's my day to have something special. Then that's my treat, usually.

    And processed cheeses. Cheeses with a bit more tang, like goat cheese or feta I can eat bits of and feel satisfied, but regular, blander cheeses? I'll eat those all day, or have way too much. So I only buy fresh or tart cheese now as a result. Tastes better on my sandwiches, anyway.

    Pizza! I know one piece would be fine, but I can't eat just one. And I'm afraid it will put my into binge mode! I miss it but it's not worth the risk. :)

    :grumble: RICE! A Cajun just is not a true Cajun if you can't eat rice!!! But with the rice you have to have gravy of some sort too and it just goes on from there. I have only eaten a small portion of rice with 1 sushi roll since 4-1-11. And actually, I don't miss it. I haven't eaten a piece of bread since then either and don't miss it. I bought low-carb tortillas and I use romaine leaves in place of bread on sandwiches and even "tacos". So those are things I've given up pretty much completely.

    Now, if you put a cake or batch of cookies in my house - I will have to make it disappear. So I just don't do it. My kids made cookies the other day and gave me 2 and they ate the rest. I went back to get more but they were all gone :ohwell: phew.

    I like to say I haven't given up anything and I can eat anything in moderation, but, yes, crackers, wheat thins, triscuits, anything crunchy salty like that, even plain old ritz or saltines... i just CAN'T stop, I can count out a serving and if there's more, I'll end up eating them all. I can eat one small block of dark chocolate but I can't stop eating crackers.. Sad, but true!!

    I gave up regular pop but started drinking diet. I don't think I've given up anything entirely. I just saw that most places will let you order pizza- no dough. It's about 200 calories less then if you were to get a regular pizza. :) An alternative to when you're craving pizza!

    i'm like that too. haven't really given up anything - just try to plan more when and how much of it I eat. i don't ever want to start to feel deprived or like i'm starving myself or else i will go hog wild and give in and up. my goal is to develope healthier attitudes towards the things i eat and not let them control me.

    i had to give up cookies. I LOVE COOKIES =(.... but so far ive been able to substitute them with fruit or raisins, which remind me of cookies but arent.... does that make sense? ..... i am however still trying to work on the mocha ice coffee from dunkin, slowly but surely.
