    I can live without commercial mayo. I've come to dislike the taste of soybean oil.

    My suggestions would be to eat smaller sandwiches if the amount of mayo would be a problem, or try making your own mayo with stronger flavored oils or more seasonings, so that you can eat less with the same amount of taste. I haven't tried making it since eating raw eggs has become an issue, so I don't know if you can do it with pasteurized eggs or egg beaters. (It's ridiculously easy with raw ones, but salmonella is not the way you want to lose weight :sick: .)

    That being said, cake batter is one of the things I'm not giving up. I can't let the kids lick the bowl, after all -- too dangerous for them!

    Coffee creamer & cheese! I really don't give up anything though...it's a lifestyle change like everyone says and I don't plan on permanently cutting out anything that I like from my diet in the long run so I don't do it now. It's about moderation!

    I gave up pop 2 weeks ago-something I never thought I'd do... and then just like that, I took it out. Cold turkey.
    I understand your mayo issue... I hate miracle whip (tried, just can't do it)...and I don't care for low fat mayo versions either... so I decided to just cut it out. I eat tuna with hot sauce and black pepper. Delicious! Although, I haven't given up on mayo the way I did with pop.
    A food I can't get rid of: chocolate (in some form).

    Coffee and Chocolate!!

    But then, my coffee is pure (no milk or sugar) and my chocolate is as dark as possible (70% plus is GOOD) so neither is that bad anyway!!

    Cheese
    Fresh pate
    Good artisan bread

    Preferable all of the above at the same time with a bottle of Gran Reserva Rioja

    Oh, and indian food

    I dont believe in giving up anything. Ive tried that, and the more foods I cut out, the more I wanted them all. Now I eat everything I want but less often and in smaller portions. I enjoy food too much to deny myself anything!!

    Cigarettes, red wine, and crisps. If I could give up these three I'd be skinny and healthy.

    Coffee!!! and sweets. I have both still daily. and I can't drink my coffee black, so yes I use creamer or milk and sugar. I also have something sweet every day....it may just be a sugar free pudding cup or a small piece of chocolate, but it is something. I just make sure I am always still in my calorie range.

    desserts after dinner here too. yoghurts, or i'm slightly obsessed with weight watchers desserts at the moment. sticky toffee cheesecake omfg!!!

    i didnt think id be able to live without things like chocolate/cheese but i manage just fine. i allow myself 1 chocolate bar once a month *ahem* and a small amount of cheese when i feel like i'm happy with my weight loss and deserve a treat. being half french i thought lack of cheese would be a killer but it's ok.

    I so understand... but I have at least switched to Vodka with no calorie add ins... not perfect because of the actual alcohols effect on the body, but Im trying! But I know I will NEVER completely give it up.... We all need a vice... :drinker:

    That doesn't necessarily mean that our vices have to be food related. Mine is TV. I had to first train myself to do my exercises while watching TV (which is probably why I now have trouble sitting still when I'm watching something), and then I started using shows as a reward for exercising.

    Skinny versions of drinks at starbucks.. and bread-like things. I can't do without a sandwich or a piece of garlic bread with dinner, or a piece of toast with breakfast. and pasta occasionally.

    Edit: Oh and cream cheese, I get reduced fat.. and cheesecake occasionally.. my Achilles heel when it comes to desserts.

    Milk
    Ice Cream
    Chocolate

    I could never completely give these up even though all of these are very high in calories, Every female needs chocolate and ice cream once and awile right? :3

    Agreed!! Add cheese in there, too.

    I love beer!! I am able to enjoy 1 a week. I go for a home brew or a micro brew. How much more enjoyable my beer is knowing this is all I get for a week!! I love pizza, but that is still out of reach.

    When I start thinking about foods I can never give up, I start thinking about when I said I could never loose weight and keep it off. Since I am still loosing and the weight is still off, I realize I can give up of ANYTHING that will help me reach my goals. That includes people and food. I am so WORTH it!
