I work in an office and it's like the salesman and customers think we live on donuts and cookies with the odd batch of cupcakes thrown in every now and then for good measure. I walk right past that crap now. I do keep 100 calorie packs of hostess chocolate cakes with cream filling in my desk drawer for when the 'filing cabinet food' becomes tempting.0

You don't need to give it up entirely - just switch it to a wholegrain pasta. Or use an alternative - a tasty recipe I make myself is sweet potato and spinach gnocchi and I'd now rather have that than pasta pretty much every time. It's still around 200 calories, but they are SO worth it.
I have the recipe on my blog here: http://losingitallwithmfp.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/sweet-potato-and-spinach-gnocchi/

Giving up something you love is just begging for you to go on a binge. Learn to keep it in your diet and tweek it to make it a little healthier. I lost all my weight while eating pasta, bread, fried food and even my beloved Samoas.0

Mostly bread, white rice, milk chocolate (only have dark chocolate) and pasta.0

One food I crave like crazy (because I LOVE it) is pasta. This would be the food I have basically given up all together. It doesn't seem worth it to only be able to eat 2 ounces of it for about 200 calories!
What food did you give up??
2 ounces is a whole plateful and quite filling. Just sayin'.
I gave up nothing. I choose healthier options most of the time, but I still eat everything I used to eat.
^^THIS. I still eat anything I want, just in smaller quantities and less frequently.0 -
Mine food is queso and ruffles0

For now? Sweets. They're just too much of a trigger food. It's spring and usually my sister and I make a ton of ice cream or Rita's runs, but so far not yet. Right now, I'm keeping my sweet tooth in check by eating fruit or things like greek yogurt cups, or (no sugar added) applesauce. So far so good as I didn't attack the Easter basket this year, the pie in the fridge, and I've driven past the ice cream shop many times (I have a coupon for a free sundae, mind you.)0

Potato chips. Technically I haven't completely given them up, but I've cut WAAAAAY down. I'm trying to give them up though.
I've always been a sucker for salty snacks - I could give up candy in a heartbeat, & I don't even drink enough soda to consider giving it up (one a month, maybe), but I used to eat half a large bag of chips in one sitting, a couple times a week 0_00 -
I no longer drink Soda! I would drink it all day if I had the option so I just omit from my diet.0

There's really no such thing as "good" or "bad" food, so I haven't given up anything.
That depends on the food and person. But for everyone there are better and worse foods.0 -
I can't give up on anything but I cut down on a lot bad habits, soda, baked goods, excessive sugar, fried foods, chips, etc.0

Nothing!!!!!!!!! :-) I gave up absolutely nothing. I'm trying to live my life now the way I will want to live it until I die. Do I really want to go my entire life without a single bag of buttered popcorn, not one oreo cookie? Nooooo... moderation, baby.

I used to enjoy the occasional Cinnabon, but can't justify blowing through two-thirds of my daily calories to have one.0
