I LOVE pizza but I have MAJORLY cut back on it the past year and a half.

I think this reduction has really helped me with my weight struggles. Two years ago I would have had it for lunch when the office ordered out, but now I never get it. I do occasionally enjoy some for dinner but not very often.

Also, when i started losing weight 5 years ago I cut out most caloric beverage and switched to crystal light. Now I mostly drink water and black coffee.


What food have you cut down on that has helped you the most in this way?

I have cut right back on:

chocolate (the taste doesn't seem as good)
pork (I loved fatty roasts)
cheese (it just looks like slabs of fat now)
bought bread (it makes my ankles swell)

I don't explode if I eat them, and if I go to a function when one or other of them is on the menu, especially if someone personal has made it, I'll have a very small amount by choice - I want to live in the real world and not be frightened by food - but I don't eat them myself any more.

Cheese. I still have it sometimes, but I used to eat about three pieces of string cheese a day.
Candy. I used to snack on candy at work, but now I NEVER do that.

Foods I've eliminated:

Fast food
Sugary soda
Packaged baked goods
Cream-based sauces

Foods I've cut way back on:

Alcohol
Cheese (mostly because cheese doesn't like me anymore)
Fried foods
Baked goods
Candy (occasional piece of dark chocolate)
Pizza (rare treat)

Ice cream
Dessert of any kind, on a daily basis
Cereal (except granola)
Diet Coke - except I'm fighting that battle *again* now
French fries

I am cutting back on ice cream,fried foods{especially french fries}!Pasta,chips,doritos,and,oreos,and other all cookies.

Eliminated:
French fries
deep fat fried foods
breaded foods, unless I bread them and know the calorie count

Cut back on:
Pizza- it is loaded with calories
Sweets- I still have them, but not as much at one time, before I would just eat 6 cookies, or a couple of brownies- I love sweets
Sauces: have to keep an eye on how many calories they have
Cheese: have to keep an eye on how much goes in, rather than just dumping in a whole bunch
