Is there anything you have Given up because you go too far?

No.

I give nothing up. I manage accordingly.

Me too. I used to have major problems with not being able to control myself. Once I found this site and started seeing food as math, it took the emotional aspect out. That doesn't mean that I don't sometimes overeat, but I play the numbers game and get some more exercise or cut back the next day. And since I don't like to have to do that, it becomes easier to resist going overboard knowing that I'll have to make up for it. I also pre-log my foods a day ahead. Then I know where I'm sitting if I want to indulge.

Dr. Pepper & Lay's Kettle-Cooked Salt & Vinegar chips! I can't seem to manage moderation with those, so I just don't buy them anymore!

i stopped going to subway for a long time. yeah they have healthy options but i don't like them, lol - my old "usual" was a gigantic calorie bomb and if i ordered less, i would end up starving and snacking myself to death later.

i finally went back this week, managed to force myself to order a smaller, lighter version of my "usual" that fit within my allotted calories, and didn't come home and eat everything in the house. it was a major victory for me, but i still won't be doing it very often >.<

I thought that there were certain foods that I overeat no matter, that I never could go back to. After giving them up for a long time, and slowly reintroduction them--I don't overeat. I think if you get to the point where you really don't want those foods anymore, like I did--you'll be OK.

I can't have an open package of any type of candy in the house. I WILL eat the entire box/bag/sleeve. It's ridiculous how fast I can go through candy if I let myself. Haha.

Don't know if you have ever heard of the candy called "SMARTIES". I truly believe there is crack in that stuff! I had it so bad that I had to have an intervention. I went off for a year and then said I would only eat them in moderation. Sad to say, I was eating those little dusty candies by the bagful. Before I went cold turkey, I would salivate at the thought of eating one! Its been at least two years and I have vowed to NEVER touch another one.

I've given up on Captian Morgan because I went too far, way too many times. But that was less of a decision and more of a reflex...

Oh, tequila too. *shudders*

I had to give up buying gummy fruit snacks. I will binge binge binge on those. Which is weird because half the time i don't even like the taste.

I'm not giving this up forever but I'm avoiding alcohol for a while. I tried to drink in moderation but once I start I couldn't care less about anything in moderation.

lo mein, chips & any kind of dip, cake, pie, cookies, pasta, pizza, burgers.....and anything else that's delicious and not good for me. I have to avoid it all.

At the beginning of the summer, my mom bought us a box of Drumsticks (ice cream cones) from Costco. A really big box. I used to eat one of those and decide I was still "hungry" (more like bored and craving!) and move on to chips. Ketchup chips were my weakness!

So my problem was not that I'd eat too much of a single thing, it was that I'd eat one snack and want a bit of everything else!

Nowadays I find that I don't have to give up things entirely. I just have to keep in mind that my snacks, including junk, need to fit into my daily calorie budget. That's usually enough to remind me to snack in moderation. I've even counted out chips as I ate them (27 chips for a serving of Lay's Ketuchup chips!) and I find that it really is a decent size portion! I can put the bag away easily now.

I have to be really really careful with any carb from soda to chips to pizza. When they say empty calories, they mean empty calories. I start off with the best of intentions, but I go back for more because they're never filling. Now, I try to wait until the end of the day to eat them and only if I have extra calories, such as yesterday when I had over a 1000 calories left after eating dinner and the entire days worth of food. I have also found that I've been going after taste, not just that food. So, when I crave chips or fries, It's usually something salty, so I get an apple and spread some laughing cow. I get sweet and salty for 65 calories verses 160 for ten fritos and I still feel hunger after those ten fritos. I also found, that like most women, I don't get enough fiber. When I started eating things that had at least 2-3g of fiber in a snack and 5+g fiber in a meal, I felt fuller and didn't gorge myself. I love frito chili pie, so I just portioned out my chips, used extra chili (turkey with beans for less fat and high fiber) and a low fat cheese (I love weight watchers shredded) and you can add some lt. sour cream. I just had to find a way to make what I wanted work for me. This website has been a lifesaver. I can actually see how what I eat is affecting me. I lost 20lbs before I even got on here, but mfp helps me maintain my healthy lifestyle. But I still have to be so vary careful with carbs.

I haven't really cut anything out but I have stopped letting myself buy all the junk I'll make over a healthy meal. If I'm out and about with friends or I'm really stuck for options I don't mind having the occasional treat, but having it all in the house wasn't helping at all.

For me I love French Fries with gravy and vinegar....especially from this one restaurant my fiance and I always go to.

However, I started eating my chicken with the gravy and vinegar instead to mimic the same flavour that I craved... While Gravy isn't necessarily the healthiest option I limit it to a small portion that equals out to only 40 calories....so I am saving myself all that extra calories from those fries!

I haven't really given anything up completely but, gibe me a bag of salty pita chips at midnight and I'll eat half the bag. So I try to keep those kind of snacks out of the house.

Chinese takeout is my nemesis. I love it and can not eat one serving. Ever. I have definitely gotten better at the amount I eat (to that I am so proud) but it still has to be a once a month type thing.
