What can't you seem to give up even though you know you should?

For me it's diet soda and processed granola bars. I know both are full of awful crap yet I just can't seem to live without them. Especially if the granola bar has peanut butter in it.

    I haven't "given anything up" if I'm going to eat this way for the rest of my life, it's going to be my way. Moderation is key.

    McDonald's Mocha Frappe. Damn things are addictive. I just account for it in my daily calories.

    Sweets! I went without any sugar or processed foods for an entire year and never got over the craving. I am keeping track of sugar, but have only stayed in the green once so far. It's a goal, but for the beginning of this journey, I am working harder on the calorie count. How about you?

    Unfortunately I have a hard time getting away from Facebook and it's monotonous yet strangely addictive games. While I left the Farmvilles and sims behind a while back I can't seem to shake the Indiana Jones game and find myself logging in many times a day just to get through one adventure after another.

    I've already gotten rid of most of the junk. I don't miss it as much as I used to.

    Jelly beans, licorice, jube jubes, gummy worms, dots..........I just don't buy the bulk bags any more. Small quanties, and I count them as a snack.

    I really don't have anything I can't give up, I just eat it in moderation and account for it in my calories. I LOVE root beer floats but instead of having a giant one I just do 3/4 a cup of reg ice cream and 1 cup of root beer and even though its still over 300 calories sometimes its nice to indulge when I've earned it. I don't want to give up anything and think "I'll never be able to eat that again." I also have a cheat day a week where I still eat in moderation but I just don't think about it as much, those are the days I choose to have fettucini alfredo or a nice slab of prime rib or movie theater popcorn (yum!). I don't think you have to give up anything really, just be more conscious.

    but really - extra salt.

    sure - i still eat all of my "cravings" once in awhile since this i need to live like this for, well, ever. but it's really hard to lay off the salt. i did, however, throw out my salt lick.

    Chocolate covered almonds or peanuts.... And yogurt covered almonds or peanuts. I just love them even though they are bad for me.
