One Food/Drink you gave up

Chips. I'd mindlessly eat them with the kids I nanny, at BBQs, where everyone else is doing it etc. After eating them, I didn't feel it was worth it at all! If I need something similar, i'll go for the 100 calorie bags of popcorn.

One food, huh? There are lots more than 1... I gave up all things fried, butter, ice cream, cake, chocolate and that is the short list. I am adding things as I go. I have been on this merry-go-round more than once and when I try to eat a little, it becomes a lot and then, next thing I know, I am starting over... again! I am a food junkie that knows nothing of moderation. So.... just continue to choose not to eat things that will trigger me.

ALL fast food, soda, candy and honey buns. I use to LOVE honey buns

Im trying really hard to give up wine. I love a cold glass of rose wine after dinner but its so high in calories its hardly worth it!!! Maybe after I lose another 8 pounds I might deserve a small glass....

I had a huge calling for fried foods being from texas my family fry's everything ugh so thats what I gave up no more fried foods and being on guam its easier my hubby & I have really started watching what we eat !!!

Coca Cola and Pepsi. I try to drink mostly water, and tea. I do have diet sodas like Coke Zero or Pepsi Max. They don't taste so obviously like diet soda so it helps. Frozen foods for the most part, like Stouffer's Macaroni and Cheese. I loved that stuff. lol

Like some of the others I havent told myself certain foods are banned totally - otherwise I'll start craving them and obsessing over them! Plus for me its just not sustainable to ban things for the rest of my life!

Having said that, I have avoided some foods on a general day-to-day basis, either because I know they'll trigger a binge, or just because they arent good choices.

Also, I've just had my gallbladder removed due to gallstones and for the last few months high fat foods would have had me in agony/rushed into hospital.

These are the things I try to avoid most of the time, and then really enjoy them when I'm having a treat!

I've given up ice cream (your typical grocery store freezer variety or ice cream parlor scoops). However I still eat frozen yogurt and Skinny Cow type ice creams. But the ones at the grocery store are just pure evil to me. I can never stick to just one serving, so I gave them up, and really don't feel like I'm missing anything!

French fries, fried chicken and pizza (unless it's Lean Cuisine pizza).

Milk.

I used to drink it like water, now I drink water instead.

Also those small microwave pizzas, I don't eat them anymore.

Drink: Everything but water. I've been drinking very little but water for probably the last two years (even before I started fitnesspal or even started working hard to lose weight). So, I've given up basically everything else that I rarely (maybe once or twice a week) would drink. Water is all I drink except maybe... once or twice a month I'll have a hot tea with breakfast or a diet sprite with dinner.

I use to before all of that have a BIG addiction to sweet ice tea (southern girl here).

Food: Egg yolks, Non-whole grains, & pork and red-meat.

Luckily, I've never been completely dependent on one food, so for me, I've given up on eating any size portion I want, because that was my biggest issue. I have given up on ignoring the nutrition labels, as well as eating between meals except for when my body tells me I need food.
