    fresh bakery white bread. yum!!!
    that being said the only things I have given up are cake & cheesecake - everything else in moderation has been working for me so far.

    oh God yes, that's another thing I save for cheat day, my favourite white bread is Ciabatta with marg or butter of course!

    Definitely bread but I found a cheat. I got a recipe for no knead ciabatta bread and I make it quite often. It's much healthier this way and I don't even eat as much b/c I have to plan to make it due rising time.

    Ooh yum are you willing to share your recipe with us?

    I haven't really given up anything, I still have pizza, Chinese food, chocolate (these are things I couldn't give up completely) but there are a few things I avoid having in the house because I can't stop at just one:

    Cakes
    Biscuits / cookies
    Bread and cheese at the same time (I'd go mental with cheese on toast)

    I will still have these things occasionally if I'm out or at someone else's house but if I have them at home it's too hard on the willpower. Yes I CAN eat a whole pack of jaffa cakes in one go.

    There's no reason to give anything up. So I don't.

    In my opinion, unless you were eating heroin or urinal cakes or plutonium before, there's really nothing that you absolutely must give up in order to eat healthier and lose weight.

    Chocolate.. I would go crazy without any :)

    To be totally honest, I haven't really given anything up. I've just been eating the same things but less of it :) Unless you put pizza in front of me.. then it's all over for the day lol

    ^^THIS^^ Totally. And even then I'm still not doing too great! :/

    Chocolate - I have a couple of squares almost everyday - it makes me happy:)
  • Cheese for me. Odd because I thought it would be chocolate but not touched any for two weeks now and not bothered. I just have a thin slice of cheese half way through the day and I'm good :)

    Why give up anything? The key, surely, is moderation.

    bread, bagels and cheese. I do like some lower fat cheese like philadelphia but sometimes only a strong cheddar will do :(

    I cannot give up anything. But I have no problem with other people giving up stuff. More for me. :p

    LMAO! Tooo funny! I just busted my gut. HA!

    Chocolate - I have to have it after lunch and dinner EVERY DAY!

    I thought cheese would be near-impossible too, but I gave it up for lent this year and found it surprisingly okay. I did try and give up chocolate for lent a couple of years ago and lasted 4 days :)

    Mexican food would also be difficult - I think I'd be depressed without guacamole!

    I haven't given up anything that I really love. I simply eat it moderation. I don't want to go the rest of my life without a Reese's peanut butter cup or bread or pizza.
    This. :) No need to give up anything, unless it makes you ill of course.

    Pasta and bread

    Its not that I can't give them up on my own, its just very HARD to because that is all that my fiance's italian family cooks and eats.

    I will NEVER EVER EVER give up whole milk and sugar in my coffee. NEVER.
  • I would actively struggle giving up cheese. Is there anything betta then chedda and feta?

    Also, eggs. Nature's candy, those things.
