    i am not banning anything but i am not having it unless i have the absolute best version of it. currently i really want buffalo wings but can't decide where the best ones are so i am passing it up. actually truth is mine are the best...i guess i should just make some wings this week ;-)

    i looove buffalo wings! To get my fix i bake a chicken breast and tear it up, cook some franks red hot buffalo sauce into it and throw it into a fat free torilla! Its so good!

    My banned foods are anything with MSG, hydrogenated anything or franken sugars.
    I will make exceptions once a month for most anytng else.

    I haven't really banned anything... because anytime I do that, I end up turning it into some kind of forbidden fruit thing and craving it all. the. time. But I try to avoid white foods (white bread, refined sugar - when possible, potatoes, white rice) because I honestly tend to to feel hungrier after I eat those foods. And right now, I'm not drinking soda of any kind - 8 days without so far! I always try to give myself permission to slip up every once in awhile though, because I have found in the past, if I don't do that, I beat myself up when I make the slightest unhealthy choice and then feel so guilty, I decide I don't want to get with the program. I haven't begun to work on my sodium intake, but that is part of the plan. It's one nutrient at a time for me.

    Betty Crocker's cheesy scalloped potatoes. They are SO good, but so high in sodium and fat :(

    Nothing is banned for me, I just try not to eat processed meals if I can (though I make exceptions occasionally). I have always stayed away from the really bad microwave dinners though (and generally ready-made meals) so it's not been that hard. The only really processed food I eat (aside from ice cream ;)) is my favorite cheese pasta sauce (one of those Knorr packets where you just mix the powder with water - probably not that good in terms of sodium but I don't eat it every week so whatever).

    I try to stay away from fried foods even on weekends when I'm a little more relaxed about things. Last Sunday I made Captain Crunch Chicken for some friends and I ended up eating myself sick. I've got most of my eating under control but I have absolutely no will power where fried foods are concerned.

    Nothing is banned. I just try to choose healthier options. So I always eat wheat bread, but if I really wanted bread and white was all there was I'd eat it, Banning foods kind of makes me want it more.

    OH those frozen meals! I'm trying to keep my sodium below 1200mg/day due to hypertension and severe salt sensitivity, so I'm avoiding all high sodium stuff - canned/frozen and processed foods

    Chinese take out is the one thing I just can't let myself eat anymore, as much as I love it. Everything that tastes good has soooo much sodium and any healthier options just aren't worth it since they don't taste great. I feel terrible after I eat it, so I decided I just have to say no.

    I don't really ban anything, but there are things that I know I can't eat just a little of, so I avoid them. But in my mind, I keep telling myself I can have them if I want - that way I don't develop an obsession about them.

    Well, this isn't so much a diet thing as it is something I do regardless of whether I'm watching what I eat or not. I do not buy foods with high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oil in them. I typically don't buy a lot of processed food, but on occasion I'll eat it, and if it's high in sodium, so be it.

    ( hard to believe) mayonaise

    Not hard for me to believe, in fact mayonnaise makes the short list of completely, totally, absolutely banned foods. I think I still have mayonnaise packets in the purse I was using before last.

    I really avoid candy -- but I usually don't even want it anymore.
