Name something that was easy for you to give up

Shisha (hookah)

Soda especially sprite and coke.
Whenever I was thirsty it was one of these I picked up.
I gave it up more than 3 years ago and it was easy cause I substituted it with something more healthy like coconut water or buttermilk and after a while I switched to lemon and ginger water or cucumber water.
Finally now its just plain water for me 🤩🤩

In between I had tried pepsi once and I was shocked I used to drink these before. I did not like the tatse of it.

-Baked good (except whole wheat or rye bread)
-Diary products (during the holidays I do have a slice of pizza or 2 so there is cheese from that. But otherwise no. I dont make them. I dont buy them)

I switched over to plant based milk for my coffee and at the beginning it was a little weird but my sinusitis flare ups just stopped and I was over the moon for it !!!

Soda, but that was because I figured out through an inadvertent experiment that I had WAY less fibromyalgia pain when I did not drink it than when I did. Now I don't like the taste.

Things that were easy for me to quit - not weight loss related:

(1) As a teen somewhat susceptible to peer pressure wrt certain things, I was on a class outing and we could have soda with lunch and I noticed all the other girls were picking diet beverages so I did that too (I wasn't a big pop drinker at the time, but ordinarily would have chosen a Coke), and thought it was fine and just started drinking diet when I consumed pop after that. After a few years if I accidentally got served a non diet soda I could tell immediately and didn't like the tasty, too syrupy.

(2) When I was 29, I started a new job with a soda fountain where we could get soda or water for free and was drinking quite a lot of soda for a while (I rarely drank soda at home because it was heavy to carry home from the grocery store). For some reason at some point I decided to cut back and just switched to water as my main drink.

(3) I started drinking coffee in college and at first drank it about half milk/half coffee (I've never liked sugar in coffee, sweet coffee just tastes weird and off to me). I gradually reduced the amount of milk and when I was working at my fulltime, non summer job I was at a meeting where the only milk-like option available was that powdered creamer stuff that didn't seem appealing so I tried it black and found I liked it that way. Never went back. ;-) (I will on rare occasion have something like a latte, and for breakfast when traveling in some countries I do also.)

Things easy to quit - weight loss related:

When I decided to lose weight I went through my diet to see where I was getting excess cals that would be easy to cut calories. What I saw was that I did a lot of mindless eating, where I wasn't really loving the foods but just eating them because they were there. So I (mostly) eliminated those things:

(1) Most of the time, the bread on the table before dinner at a restaurant. I don't care about bread all that much, and was only eating because it was there, others were, and I was hungry for dinner. So I stopped.

(2) Large servings of rice, pasta -- I realized that although I enjoy these foods (so long as they are paired with other foods), I would often eat more than I really wanted just because of portion distortion or because they were there. This was true even when I made them, since I'd misjudge how large a serving dry rice and pasta would be. I started measuring them and sticking to a serving size or less and creating more volume from the other components of the dish (like veg), and again found that easy.

(3) Mindless eating of stuff at work. Every once in a while something truly amazing turns up at my office and I decide it's worth the cals to eat. Otherwise, it's stuff I don't love, but used to eat because it's there and free. Similarly, I don't eat foods I don't care about that just happen to end up in my house (like leftover candy bars from Halloween). Since none of this was foods I cared about, it just naturally happened as a result of having to think about whether a particular source of calories was worth the cals to me. Other foods I liked more and planned to have that day always won out.

Everything has been easy to give up because I haven't actually given anything up. Lager used to be my drink of choice in the pub but I haven't drunk a drop for four years or so. I noticed it was much easier to control my weight if I stayed off it, so I adopted a "not today" basis. Now it wouldn't even cross my mind to order a lager. Chocolate - I barely eat it and don't miss it. But if I do eat it, it will be top quality stuff. Not mindlessly stuffing a paving slab in front of the TV. Bread - similar to chocolate. In fact I actively dislike white bread now.

I can't have carbonation now, and I thought I was basically gonna die without soda, I drank diet and caffeine free root beer a can a day usually and it didn't have any calories but now it's been like a little more than a week and I am fine now, I have been encouraged more to drink water or flavored water

Strangely, chocolate, which I could eat in industrial quantities but don't crave now that I need to use my calorie allowance wisely.

For me the easiest thing to give up was soda. I didn't/don't drink coffee, and that was always my caffeine source. Didn't want to get started on energy drinks. Don't get me wrong I still like the stuff, and will order a coke or a pepsi when out to have a good time (I drink alcohol maybe 3-4 times per year) so it's my celebration beverage of choice. I'll have one or two with dinner as long as it's budgeted in and go for broke. Initially cutting it meant I got more sleep since I wasn't kicking back a can of soda right before bed. Replacing the majority of it with water. I do drink a pre-workout before the gym, or if I'm having a bad/dragging day but good overall!

Best thing I ever did was to stop having it in the house. I don't miss it and it was so easy in the end to give up.

When your health is on the line, you'll do anything to get it back. This is serious business.

Coke and Dr. Pepper. Drank a lot of them and I still love the taste, but Diet Coke and iced tea have scratched that itch.

I wasn't a huge diet soda drinker but I gave it up cold turkey when I realized I wasn't drinking enough (any) water.

I've since gone back to the diet soda tho.

I gave up pasta and breads for a while (THAT was bad!). This was mostly when I was eating lunch in fast food joints and getting sandwiches. I switched it to just the chicken filet or whatever and a side salad to save on calories.

I still can't moderate pasta so rarely eat it.
