    3 things I've given up are:

    1. driving to Chinese buffets
    2. going inside Chinese buffets
    3. eating at Chinese buffets

    Chinese buffets are a big deal to me... in case you can't tell.

    1. Sodas
    2. Monogamy
    3. Fried foods

    What say you?


    1. Beer during the weekdays (I'll still tilt a few during the weekend)
    2. Mindless eating (No more mowing through a box of Cheez-its or eating a dozen fast-food burgers)
    3. Being lazy (All the extra energy makes it hard for me to want to sit around)

    You go on a diet and get more sex partners??? :love: I live in the wrong state...damn!!

    I didn't say I have more sex partners, I just said I gave up monogamy, that's all. I haven't had a sex partner since the Reagan Administration.
    so I am curious, what the definition of monogamy is in TX? And here's some :flowerforyou: and a free pass to spend your summer in Mass! :love:

    1. Soda, because it isn't enjoyable like it used to be. I still have a little now and then but it's not the same.
    2. Some of my shoes, since they are too loose now.
    3. Er... several pounds of fat!

    I don't believe you have to give up anything... at least I didn't. Maybe those who have a real trigger (like the one who mentioned Chinese buffets) would need to stay away from those things. But if you can use portion control, you can have pretty much anything.

    I feel really sad for the person who said they had to give up guilt-free eating. Eating should not have anything to do with guilt.

    I agree with whoever said that they gained so many new food options. I don't really deny myself certain foods, but I just don't want the bad things anymore. Thinking about eating fast food makes me want to hurl. Just the lack of quality nutrition in fast food disgusts me which I guess is a good thing. I find myself craving my apple with natural peanut butter, or grapes and cottage cheese as a way to satisfy my sweet tooth. But there are things that I crave and usually don't give into because of the amount of calories in them.
    1- White chocolate mochas (I used to drink one basically every day, now I drink brewed coffee with SF creamer)
    2- Blizzards from Dairy Queen (I never really ate these often, but one small blizzard has 600 calories. Yikes! Not worth it.)
    3- Can't think of anything else that I don't eat in moderation still.
    I have gained so much more
    1- Endurance
    2- A new outlook on life
    3- Self confidence

    Nothing, nothing, and nothing! I just don't pig out and guzzle Dr. Pepper all day, every day. I had NO IDEA how insane my calorie intake was before I joined MFP. ><

    I gave up a lot more than 3 things:

    sodas
    fried foods
    sweets
    pizza
    white bread
    chips
    red meat
    alcohol

    Thing is, most of thost things, except the alcohol, was something I craved after drinking a soda or 5 a day. Now that I don't drink soda, I don't crave any of those and don't miss a thing.

    I never was much of a drinker so that was no big deal, too.

    For some foods, a saner portion ends up just being a tease. Like seeing a great mahogany desk, only to discover that it's laminate covered particle board.
