... that you just HAD to give up to lose weight?

For me, it's cereal with milk. I can't do it, and I probably won't ever eat when I'm maintaining my weight. I just can't stop when I eat it. It's the one food that does that to me. I could eat an entire box of cereal and not feel full, and I'm hungry half an hour later.

Do you guys have a food like that? Or is it just me?

    I like batter. Any kind of batter. So I dont go there. Its too hard to not eat. Banana muffin batter is the best.

    I've for the most part given up peanut butter because its so high in cals and when i make a PB and J i lay it on thick. I still eat milk and cereal for breakfast but I measure out servings.

    Movie theatre butter popcorn...I can't do just the healthy popcorn...it's gotta be dripping in butter...but I feel *disgusting* after I eat it, especially when I used to go through a whole bag...so I just don't eat it anymore.

    Juice - I used to drink about 8 glasses a day, but now I've replaced about 6 of those with water. Can't quite give it all up, but I've cut out a lot of calories!

    I haven't had to give up anything in particular, but I do have to give up take out food. I love to cook and I trained as a chef so I can cook, I just can't be bothered to cook. Lol. Take out was much more convenient. And it might have something to do with the weight gain..

    Joining this site has forced me to look at what I eat and really think about things, it's also encouraging me to try different recipes and meal plans which is great.

    Keep the Galaxy Caramel chocolate bars away from me though. I can devour 150g bar in minutes. Bloody delicious.

    I cannot trust myself to not over eat. I could eat 3000calories/day no problem, if I let my old eating habits creep back in. So I have to give up over-eating more than not eating any one particular food.

    I totally agree about cereal. I was the same way. One box would last me a few days. Eating cereal like this is partially why I am 50lbs overweight.

    I also don't think I can eat candy bars like I used to. They are so high in calories and do not quell the hunger.

    I am a homemade dessert girl. I love to make them, then eat the whole thing. I can make fabulous pies, cakes, brownies, bars, cookies, cobblers, puddings, choc mousse, cheesecake. You name it, I can make it, and it tastes world-class. But I eat 5portions at one late-night go. So I have to be very careful about having a single portion, like a slender girl would.

    I haven't cut anything out completely, but I try my best to avoid buying chips, because I could eat the whole bag in a day or two. Mmmm chips.

    Movie butter popcorn is my weakness too, I can easily eat a bag in one sitting. So I don't even keep it in the house anymore.
