    I've give up most chips as they won't fit in my daily calorie allowances, but I just can't give up on my ramen. It's all empty calories and salt, but mmm noodles... I eat less for breakfast/lunch on days I eat it so I can make it fit. Totally worth it every now and then!

    Ice cream stays in my plan. I do not have it often, but it is certainly part of my options.

    I've given up quite a few things or reduced them out of my diet. But vanilla syrup in my morning coffee - I only put a small amount but I just can't resist.

    (I don't count it, or the milk!)

    I'm the same as most others have said -- I haven't specifically given up things, but I have stopped eating the junk on a frequent/daily basis. I used to eat a ton of chips, cookies, donuts, and ice cream... now I am doing ice cream about once a week and trying to avoid the rest. On the weekend I made healthier homemade cookies... things like that. For me it's all about being consistent and making good choices, while still living life.

    Chocolate. I have one dove dark chocolate square every day with my noon vitamins & meds. I consider it my "don't be mean" medicine.

    Several here:

    1. I *LOVE* real Vermont maple syrup (lived in Vermont for awhile) so use it on Belgian waffles occasionally.
    2. Real cheese. I like all kinds of interesting cheeses and still buy them, just try to limit them to 1-2 ounces a day. My current favorite is Old Croc Australian Extra Sharp Cheddar--a tiny bit goes a long way in taste.
    3. Keeping with the cheese theme--real homemade mac and cheese on occasion. This is a HUGE indulgence, though--real cheese, real milk, real butter, breadcrumbs, the works. Don't do this one very often.
    4. Cake--I can resist crappy supermarket cakes, but real bakery cakes with lots of buttercream icing. Again, another HUGE indulgence so only a few times a year.

    Can't give up my latte! One or two a day (nonfat milk and no sugar). But still can't go on with my day without it!

    You really don't need to give up anything. Just make it fit your calories.

    Says me sat here with a HUGE glass of wine :Do:)

    Exactly this. Easy on the wine though lol.

    I never have and never will give up anything! I'm a strong believer in everything in moderation and not denying myself the foods I enjoy every now and then :smile:

    I haven't given up anything. I eat less of it, but I haven't given up anything.

    Sometimes I give things up for a period of time, especially if I've been on a streak of poor decisions, because I come out of it feeling soooooo good! No heartburn, no bloating, more energy, better sleep. BUT I will not give anything up permanently because I do believe moderation is the key long-term. Wine is one thing I especially try to keep some cals saved for!

    Dark chocolate. I have to have about 2 squares a day. Super calorie dense but worth every tiny bite. It's so weird though because when I'm not actively eating healthy I could care less about chocolate.

    I won't give up my Monster Java Loca Moca. I consider it my breakfast.

    Cheesecake for me but when shedding weight it is a once every ten weeks treat rather than the more frequent indulgence when off the wagon.

    You only live once, it's a once a week treat for me. Millionaires Cheesecake. Mmmm...cheesecake :smiley:

    Newp, nothing is off-limits. That just creates a "forbidden fruit" situation for me. I have had to teach myself that I can eat as much as I want of anything, anytime. Otherwise, the food-hoarder/binge-extraordinaire monster shows up, and I feel like I have to eat all the things, now. Instead, I remind myself to make the choice with my long-term goggles on, instead of my tantrum/beer/'instant grat' goggles, and usually that's enough to CHOOSE not to eat that thing I'm allowed. Other times, it's worth it, and I make it fit.

    For me it's real cream in my coffee. I have two cups in the morning and that's all. I enjoy it so much it's worth the calories. A friend commented that I could save a lot of calories by using low fat milk, but it just is not the same, so I count the calories and enjoy. Does anyone else have something they like so much they won't give up?

    I was the same way with 1/2 and 1/2 in my coffee. Then I went to fat free 1/2 and 1/2 which surprisingly is just as creamy to me. And just a couple of weeks ago I discovered So Delicious Coconut Creamer which I love! Non dairy and lower calorie. It doesn't taste like coconut - it's just creamy and delicious.

    Ranch dressing. If I have a salad I want ranch dressing. And not the fat free stuff.
