    You don't have to give up anything to lose weight!!! if you like ice cream, burgers and pizza eat them but COUNT THE CALORIES!!!! that's the main thing! I managed to lose weight eating burgers and ice cream almost every day!

    I know buttttttttt, I want to have a healthy eating life style and theirs no room in mine for sodas, chips, ice creams, ect.

    I honestly can't think of anything I've given up completely. Not even Bailey's cheesecake! :drinker: If I want it, I make room for it. And it's more about what your food is made of...for instance, if I want pizza, I have pizza, but I make it myself with fresh/natural ingredients and a whole wheat crust...none of this frozen or store bought stuff that's loaded with sodium, high fructose corn syrup, and other crap. As a general rule, the more ingredients it has, especially if you can't pronounce them, the worse it probably is for you. I focus more on clean eating than I do what I can and can't eat.

    Cheese. I love CHEESE!

    With the rest of stuff like pizzas and pasta's I still eat them but count calories. Swapped normal pop for diet pop. 1 calorie per can. That'll do me marvelous!

    Eating whatever I want when out, a lot of the chocolate, ben and jerries, all take out food - logging it just makes it impossible for me to justify it

    Oooh I still need my coffee, but I've weened myself off of cream and sugar and can easily drink it black now at least =D

    Coffee, juice and pop. I drink strictly water and my 1 cup of milk a day :D Coffee was so hard to quit I got terrible headaches for a few days but suffered through it.

    hahah cute.





    Also, mmmm cheezits. Those have been in my food log for the past two weeks, I can not resist the hot n spicy ones! Although, I do NOT recommend eating them before a work out or even anywhere close.. I pretty much felt my poor insides burning.



    Personally, while I am young, I want to eat all the yummy crap I can because my metabolism is a whole lot better then it will be in 10years when I will be able to easily notice the 600 calorie cake I just ate. I get "eating clean" but unless I can go all out, everything organic, free range chicken, etc.. its really only going halfway anyways (obv. this is only my opinion) I do make sure to eat lots of fruits and veges though :D

    I rarely drank pop/soda...but ever since MFP...i dont even look at the stuff.

    Also....Ive given up obsessing about food portions....MFP has trained me well enough, so far, to eat sensible portions without worrying if im eating too much of something. After logging in a certain weight/amount of food for so long and remembering the calorie count...its way easier to control my eating.

    Seriously. I avoid going out so I don't take in all the unnecessary liquid calories that come with hanging out at nightclubs.

    I gave up NOTHING!
    What's hard is simply keeping it between the ditches when it comes to calories and food intake.
    That was my downfall.
    And after 2 years winning this fight, I deny myself nothing in the way of cravings; however, moderation is key.
    And in time my eating gets cleaner and cleaner - not by design but by choice.
    All Is Possible!

    I have given up white bread, little debbie hostess cakes, and potato chips. The bread I just don't miss and the little debbie cakes I just end up craving more of, so I stopped them. And the chips, I just am not happy with one serving so I don't buy them. Everything else I can handle in moderation though without a problem. I do eat pretty healthy most of the time though.

    I've given up hating myself and feeling guilty if I eat too much chocolate.

    I just watch quantities and calories and enjoy life to the full. And what better motivation for exercise than a love of chocolate and cheese :tongue: :laugh:
