    Dr. Pepper. I've found it harder to give that up then the smoking i gave up a year ago! I do try to keep it to 1 bottle a day though.

    Cheapo chocolate spread. Since before I can remember there's been nothing I like more than scooping a massive spoonful when I have the taste for something sweet (which is all the time, but I've managed to moderate better nowadays rather than devour a whole jar like a savage beast). I've not given it up, but I've moved from tablespoons to teaspoons at a time, which is better than nothing. ;)

    I agree. I am not giving up anything I love to eat. Just eating 'em in normal portions. :)

    Probably canned soup. It almost always makes my sodium go too high, but it's so quick and easy and I've loved it my whole life. I try not to eat it every day but sometimes I'm just too lazy to make anything.

    Besides that, I don't really think people need to give up things for good, just have it once in a while as a treat. I know in the past when I've said "i'm never going to eat ___ again, it made me crave it more, and I ended up eating a lot of it". For instance, ice cream, I used to eat every night. I love ice cream too much to give it up completely for the rest of my life, so now I save it for special occasions (like visiting family and going out for ice cream 1x while there). Now that I don't eat it as much, it kinda makes me feel icky when I do

    I cant give up white bread. I've tried brown but I just cant get on with it! I just... cant. So the white bread is staying, I have compromised and buy Weightwatchers white bread which at least reduces all the bad stuff in it a little :smile:

    I really need to give up pints of cider - a pint is about the same as a small meal, nearly 350 cal. A small glass of wine is much better for me, but I've moved to a country where we go to the pub all the time and a pint just feels so much more refreshing and enjoyable! But really, I should drink water if I'm thirsty and small glasses of wine. Yup... that's what I should do...

    NUTS! im in LOVE with nuts, its kind of sickening. i eat literally like 10 handfuls of different nuts every single day. i know this is bad but the raw almonds and walnuts are just so delicious. salted pistachios and peanuts are just so crunchy and yummy.
    i try to stay away from too many nuts but i just can't resist. in nuts about nuts :(

    I have a love affair with loaded super nachos! I love them, and I know that every bite is like 500 calories so I try to stay away, but this is the food that whenever I turn down for like a week I am kicking myself lol! No good feeling about being strong its like " man I should have just eaten those nachos!"
  • JESUS!!!! :) Okay, I know you're referring to food... I dunno.... I've been not eating so many things I used to eat I've lost the taste for them and prefer the stuff I'm eating now... bwahahahaha!!! that's gonna change again tho'... I want to get more serious about losing this post preg pouch...

    so far i haven't technically given up anything. i either have a smaller portion, exercise more for more calories, or have a healthier version :)

    I haven't really given up any foods. I've found healthier replacements such as meatless burgers in place of other burger patties and I've learned a lot about portion control. I no longer eat half the bag of chips, I eat 1 serving.

    Diet coke and pickles. I have a sad, sick, long term love affair with both.....luckily the pickles won't kill me and I have cut WAYYYY back on the DC.

    I won't give up anything and I won't eat "light" or "diet" versions of anything other than the occasional soda.

    I either eat less or exercise more so I can afford it.

    or I say, "screw it!!!" and revel in my failure and eat or drink whatever pleases me. I just limit it to once a week tops, and enjoy every bit of it. that's the secret... enjoying without guilt.
