  • Cheese, I love cheese. Which is why I do calorie counting, I can have cheese if I want it like Laughing Cow Lite or lite string cheese.

    What will you not give up?
  • cheese for me too! i have a drawer in my fridge that i kid you not is filled with cheese. laughing cow, string cheese, feta, brie, swiss, provolone, cheddar... and on and on. i can keep eating it though because i hardly ever cook with it. i'd rather have it as a snack or on the side so i can really enjoy the taste than to mix it in and waste the cals.

    mmmm cheese.....
  • Well I am trying really hard to give up pop.. but for some reason (AKA ADDICTION!!!) I am having a really hard time. I am doing a lot better than I used to, but it is still tough.

    The one thing that I cant give up.. is granola bars. I have made better decisions in the types that I buy, but I know they arent 100% the best thing for me to eat! lol
  • If cheese was one of my absolute favorites, like yours, then Laughing Cow and lite string cheese are definitely the way to go.

    I was willing to give up any food in order to lose the weight and end my misery. That's just how badly I wanted the weight off. At least temporarily that is. I assumed one day, down the road I could bring back some favorites - like cheesecake and ice cream, pasta and the like. But for me, they had no place in my life as I was losing weight.

    But I was not willing to give up - under any circumstances - delicious tasty food. I searched for recipes and revised them to fit my needs, tweaked my old favorites. I was not/am not willing to eat food I don't like.

    Oh and I was not/am not willing to be hungry.
  • I would have said cheese, too, but I lived in Asia for many years and now know that a cheese-less life is possible. Not as great, a life, maybe . . . but actually, once I embraced local food completely I didn't miss it much. That being said, I did buy it for exorbitant prices when it was available at the import food store.

    So I guess my answer is that othe favorite - chocolate. LOVE dark chocolate, and I know that, if I plan for it, I can have it everyday. Yay for calorie counting!
  • diet soda and sugar free red bull. I'm sorry, I have 5 kids and work nights, I need it. I'm fully aware that they aren't good for you but uh, I don't care.
  • lo mein noodles
  • Carbs.
  • I guess we're all on the same page: cheese, dark chocolate, and carbs. I'll add to the list that I won't give up wine, or the occasional shot of Irish cream (Carolans has fewer cals than Bailey's).
  • Yep, cheese, dark chocolate, carbs, but also won't give up going out for Chinese or Mexican every now and again. Just can't envision life without getting those treats occasionally!
  • Italian food, wine, and good bread. I make my own bread so I know exactly what's in it.
  • I will not give up cheese, pizza or mashed potatoes
  • Pizza and movie night on Friday.

    Ditto the cheese. I love LC and string.
  • cheese, pizza, and bagels. sigh.
  • I would have to say pizza. I also love chocolate and Doritos...
