I'm about to enjoy my last coca cola/soda till I reach my goal weight.
What is something that was hard for you to give up completely, not talking about moderation?

Also looking for some friends add me, I keep my food dairy open for viewing. Just starting to get on the healthy eating wagon though! xD

    I gave up pop/soda completely. I started my journey 5 weeks ago and thats the last time I had a sip of pop. Nothing but water for the last 5 weeks!!! I never thought that would be possible for me. But I'm doing it and everyday it's getting easier to live without my beloved pop. Good luck to you!

    Thanks I like soda a lot but I LOVE water so I think the transition to just water, unsweetened teas, and occasionally coffee will be just fine, Congrats on your 5 weeks w/o soda! :D

    Every unhealthy food and drink for the last 1 and a half months, plan to continue the healthy lifestyle for a very long time.

    Twiztedbeing - nice, I don't think I have the will power just yet to cut out every unhealthy food. Slowly but surely my list will grow. So far no sweets, chips or sodas. Keep up the good work you look really good and healthy!

    iqbalkaurthin - oh don't get me started mmm missing those long islands. Now its down to beer that tastes like water -__- for me hahaa.

    I haven't had sodas, fast foods, fried foods, and red meats in 502 days of logging into mfp.

    Aw, I hope it wasn't too hard of a break up?! On the bright side you could lose the "boyfriend weight". When my bf of 3 years broke up with me, I lost 20lbs pretty fast. Probably from the depression though. Ha D:

    Juice.

    I realized it wasn't worth the calories, it doesn't fully quench my thirst or hunger so I been sticking to water. And after 2 weeks of sticking to water I found juice way too sweet...so no more juice for me

    Gluttony.

    Greed, wrath, pride, envy, sloth and lust are calorie-free. I'm on my way to perfection!

    lilorphann - wow good job too you! I couldn't imagine going without fast food for that many days. I'm cutting down to twice a month the after I do that for a couple months, I'll just eat fast food once a month. This is coming from someone who would eat fast food at twice a week! :o

    Chameleone - I love juice but yea its not worth the calories, and its hard picking one that's actually good for you. I tried juicing, myself but it was just too much effort haha. Rather just eat the fruit.

    LittleNicci - Can't imagine not drinking alcohol, let alone cutting back more than I have already!

    Since joining this site I don't even set foot in the snack/chips/candy aisles at the grocery store. There's no room for Chex Mix, Combos, Cheez-Its, or Skittles in my new lifestyle.

    I'm also fighting to give up Pepsi. Sometimes I can go forever without soda, other times I just give in. But I always log it and make sure I still stay under my limit.
