What's the hardest thing for you to give up?

Mine is going to be straws! I drink everything with a straw. So good bye to my camel backs.

Wine! I know that makes me sound like a total lush, but it's been really tough, especially with warmer weather coming. My husband is a wine maker so it's kind of a big part of our life, and I know I'll be able to have it again, but for me it's been harder than any food I've given up.

I also really hate not being able to drink Water after I eat. That's been a strange transition, too.

BTW- I'm 11 weeks and I've used straws occasionally. But not until I was like a month out

I have such a nice wine collection. :( But I'm hauling it back to my friends back home. At least someone will drink it up.

I never gave up my straws!! I have never had a problem with gas, so I told them it just wasn't a concession I needed to make. They said as long as I'm getting all my Water, and I'm not having trouble with air, I was good to keep my straws!!

I have sensitive teeth so that's why i use straws in mostly all drinks. I've given up dt Pepsi before so i can do that easily again. I told my husband just be prepared to see different things in the refreshment fridge, also he drinks coke products and i can't stand them so soda is going to be no problem for me.

Popcorn and soda

I love popcorn but it does not reciprocate. My daughter is having me put a list of no no's on the fridge so she can keep a eagle eye on me.
