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

for LIMITED amounts of times I will "give-up" some things with out realizing it. i think i'm like that with cookies. i have a habit, a bad one, or not eating something for awhile, and then when i have it again, it's like a monster is unleashed. i love ice-coffee, just not the 500calories that go along with it. i usually manage by just having my go at the cravings, and then like after a week, I don't want it anymore, maybe because i gained too much weight, haha.

but fyi salsa/chips are not that bad of a snack. i'd say buy a small bag or tortillas, and have a go at the salsa, it's only like 10calories a serving

Chocolate covered pretzels. It's impossible for me to eat them without binging and consuming the entire bag, so I avoid them entirely.

forgot about those, YES

I have had to do this with a few things!!

Sweet & Salty Almond Granola Bars
Fiber One Brownies
Pita Chips & Spinach Dip
Any type of Sweet!


If I get these things and am able to- I will Eat ALL of it... throughout the day I will eat the whole thing and still want more!
What a Horrible feeling afterward too!


I have started to add the Granola Bar as a "something sweet" to my week. However- I have to have my Sister give me just 1 or 2 at most for a day and keep the others hidden from me!! It's sad... Ugh

To be honest, I do not have a food weakness and if I do I do not know if because I just choose to not bring that stuff into the house. I have it when I am out, just a serving size, but I will not bring it home.

If I had to pick an item, it would be UTZ potato chips...sour cream and onion to be specific. I will buy a small single serving bag but NEVER buy a large bag unless we are having a cookout or an event that requires them.

Baked Lays Cheddar and Sour Cream chips and Ben and Jerry's Peanut Butter cup ice cream.


I've ruined many otherwise good days with these!

Don't give up anything fully. Maybe you could bag two servings of chips for the entire bag. Then when you pull down the chips you are getting more than one serving, but you're not eating half the bag. Also, dry eating an apple or something with a lot of fiber before you begin your chip frenzy, then you may not be as hungry to eat more than you should. If you tackle your "addiction" in smaller chunks, maybe it will be easier. I love salsa and chips too. Also, look at labels to find out which chip you can have more of. Chips are not always made the same and you might get an extra chip or two if it's a thinner chip or baked, etc. Look for different chips at different stores. Some stores carry different brands and you may find a different brand that will give you that extra chip or two. Salsa, in itself, doesn't have many calories. I think even on Weight Watchers it doesn't even count a point.

not really--I just had a Trader Joe's coconut bonbon. I'll have another one tomorrow. If I just snack mindlessly on a bag of chips, it'll be gone, but now I measure out a serving (or half) and put the package away. I used to have no self control--I don't know what happened to me. :happy:

I've given up juice and soda completely! I used to drink almost a gallon a day, but now my primary source of hydration is water. I mean, I don't even drink diet soda or crystal light or anything like that anymore. Occasionally I'll have a glass of skim milk, some tea, or a cocktail but very rarely.

just give it up for 3 weeks and you won't want it anymore. i used to work at a personal fitness studio (i was the secretary..lol) and they say if you want to give something up, do it for 3 weeks. Works great if you're trying to break a sugar habit, soda etc. Easier said than done, i know

Ice cream. I can have it at an ice cream shop once or twice a summer, where the staff kindly limits me to the single serving I buy. I can't have it in the house, because I will just keep going back for one more serving until I've eaten all 8 or 10 or however many servings in the carton.

As for the person who said Timbits ... it's a good thing I don't live in Canada. I drove to Quebec a few summers ago and later I swore I'd stopped at nearly every Tim Horton's I passed. I'd weigh half a ton if we had Tim Horton's in Kansas.

No, I refuse.
Just eat or drink in moderation.
Once you start cutting things out totally, you have just merged onto the road to nowhere.

I give up nothing.......but, I won't keep guacamole in the house on any sort of regular basis. Once every other month or so, I'll make some or buy some (Dean's if I'm getting ready made) but it's with the understanding that I'm going to eat it all in one sitting. LOL

It's my occasional reward for eating clean 95% of the time.

I just can't stop, so no, I didn't give it up but I do what you might call "calculated cheats" with it.

Fruit and nut chocolate just because I ate it in slabs not bars - to be honest I dont feel like ive gien up alot i just look at it different as now i think 210 cals on chocolate that will not fill me up or cure my hunger or 210cals on something that will not make me hungry after, I just choose right choice ..... for now

I was addicted to mini eggs. I would eat a colour from a huge bag a day. I had to give them up. Though, I was given some for Easter, and I was fine when they were gone. I was addicted to Fun Dip. I had to give that up. I haven't had any yet, though there's a package from the weekend I was on vacation that I haven't opened yet. Most recently I had to give up Nutella. I can't help but eat half a large container in a day.

Chips-Will eat until I'm sick and then keep eating!
Ice Cream-I will eat 2 or 3 servings. Try to order small when I go out.
