So, I have two problem food/drinks that I simply cannot seem to give up.....

Now, I understand a bit of popcorn and a energy drink now and again isn't a big deal. But, I have at least one energy drink a day (sometimes two), and a *huge* amount of popcorn almost every single night.

I'd love to start a group challenge so that I have to be accountable to others to stop these habits.

If you are wanting to stop an addiction that is getting in the way of your goals, join me! List your addiction, and I'll come up with a start date and add the group.

    I am in, I also eat a huge amount of popcorn almost everynight. Popcorn isnt a bad snack but i need to cut back the amount and quit eating it every single night. I am going to limit myself to 4 cups of popcorn 3 nights a week to start. We can do this

    I was addicted to soda O.o and it doesn't matter if it is zero-cal or full of them.. all the sugar is not good for me D; I have been successful so far.. I haven't had a soda since May 30th :D

    I also LOVE skittles.. and my boyfriend's mother gave me a GIANT bag of them for helping with a grad party for her daughter.. I munch on some almost daily.. And I really want to cut back when I have them (I can't quit them completely.. at least not cold turkey!)

    You lot are so wholesome.... I drink way too much alcohol and eat too much chocolate and usually one leads to the other.... not a good cycle to be in.

    I think mine would probably be excessive sauces/condiments, and tea because I just can't have tea without putting too much milk and sugar in it. :noway: Not good!

    I had an air popped popcorn addiction. The small kernel ladyfinger popcorn cured me of it.

    I had to stop buying those pillsbury mini frozen pizzas because I'd eat a box of 8 in a day. I UNDERSTAND YOU.

    I'd love to join!

    I need to stop with the soda! Granted, I've cut way back since joining MFP but I'd love to be able to go 30 days without it. I've only ever been able to do that once.

    I gave up coke/pepsi (brown pop) 2 and 1/2 years ago. I occasionally have a sprite or 7 up, MAYBE one a month if that.

    My addiction is ice cream. I start eating it and I can't stop til it's gone. I need to join this group and cut ice cream out for 30 days.

    I work in a fast food restaurant so the temptation is always in my face...I do really well at work except I just can't stop eating french fries! Granted I eat WAY less than I used to but I would like to kick the habit totally lol:smile:
