What in your diet are you willing to give up for the rest of your life?

I'm giving up celery for the rest of my life. It's a sacrifice, but I'll brave through it.

(not at all related to the fact that the two times I've tried to eat it I wanted to puke at the taste)

Can't think of a single thing. And I'm a no bread on the reg type...I'm still gonna eat it once in awhile though.

Low quality baked goods sounds good, diet soda, and artificial sweeteners.

There's plenty of changes I've made to what I eat- guess you could say I was "giving up" foods. But from my perspective, it has been about choosing healthier options. My tastes and priorities continue to change- things I remember liking are no longer special to me.
It's only natural that our palates become more refined as we strive for healthier bodies. There's nothing wrong with letting go of foods we once loved but have now outgrown. If our appetites didn't changed as we mature, we would all still be sucking milk out of a bottle like newborns.

I stopped having sugar in my hot drinks a few years ago. Other than that there's no specific thing I plan to never ever touch.

I stopped drinking all soda products 32 days ago. I will go the rest of my life without them unless I'm stranded on an island and that's all that left. Nothing else though!

I won't give up any foods for weight loss' sake, but I will for health reasons when it's clear that something I ingest as food is harming me in some physical way. Even then, I would not freak out and run away from having a small amount if it I had to.

For example, I gave up soda decades ago. I gave it up because I didn't want my teeth, or my songs teeth, to rot out like his dad's did from drinking soda's every day, and I found them too sweet tasting and the sweetness made me more thirsty than relieving any thirst ... so I switched to water and herbal teas. Yet, if I am in a situation where the only drink available is fountain or bottled soda, I'll drink it, but I won't drink the whole thing.

Another example is sugary desserts like cookies, pies, cakes, custards and ice creams ... I love em all and would eat them more than one time a day if they didn't harm my health. But I am a Diabetic and those foods are just too much carb for me to have around or eat very often. Plus, if I have some, it really sets of a craving for more in me that I find hard to control so then I do overeat and mess up my blood sugar for days or weeks. It's not worth it ... yet if I am at a party or dinner out and dessert is on the menu, I'll have some ... I just don't keep it in the house.

Ice cream. I have never liked ice cream but I ate it because I thought I was suppose to like it because everyone else likes it. Now that I see all the calories wasted on ice cream and how it sucks to begin with, I'll stick to my no-ice-cream-but-lots-of-pizza diet.

Nothing really.....
Just learning to just take 1 slice of cake instead og 3
And that sodas and candy are occasional and not everyday. Only using 1 tsp of sugar in the coffee instead of 2 etc.
White bread is almost completely out of my diet, but that is more because it gives me constipation and stomach ache.
I can't make the ultimate demands to lets say cut candy off completely - if I do that, I will focus on that it is forbidden, and end up overeating it . And knowing that, I allow myself to it, but limits the intake.

Like others said, I wouldn't give up any food I love for weight loss.

However, there are many foods that I've essentially 'given up' as in haven't eaten in years, and will try not to eat outside of exceptional circumstances - not because of weight but because they're gross, horrible for you, and just not food. That means pretty much everything with any kind of artificial additives or any overprocessed junk - I don't drink soda, eat chips or cheetos etc, nothing with artificial colors or flavors, no fat-free dairy, no artificial sweeteners of any kind, no Kraft dinners or processed cheese slices or wonderbread etc. I'll eat 'processed' packaged foods ocassionally but only the all-natural organic kinds, like Kind bars or Annie's frozen meals, in a pinch. I also don't eat standard fast food, although I can very rarely have a really good restaurant quality burger and fries.

None of those things are big sacrifices to me, they were all easy to give up and I don't want or crave them even a bit. We don't buy them as a family and don't keep them in the house.

I DO eat, and won't give up, real butter, full-fat dairy (love plain greek yogurt), good quality bread, really good baked goods (from a good bakery or homemade), cheese, dark chocolate, all-natural ice cream and other sugary treats on occasion. This to me is the only way to eat.
