What was the hardest thing for you to give up?
The only things I hated to give up for my new diet were Dr. Pepper and curly fries! Luckily I already enjoyed all of the healthy things I eat today, so the transition was pretty easy. What do you miss from your old diet? (not that you can't squeeze it in every once in a while ;) )
