I wish I knew how to quit you, (fill in the blank)!

[JustWatchMe 7,117]

I want to give up chewing gum. I chew gum because I have coffee breath. I recently went from caffeinated coffee to Decaf only. Today I stayed away from the coffee entirely and drank bottled Water. My breath is better and I survived without the gum. It's also got to be healthier drinking Water than coffee. But I don't know how long I can do this.

So "I wish I knew how to quit you",

Gum,

Coffee,

And movie crapcorn!

What's the monkey on your back?

Quest bars. I eat one almost every day. They aren't really that bad once in a while, but I need to eat more real food and less processed, artificially sweetened insta-food. They are now my standard weekday breakfast.

Anything sweet. chocolate, Cookies, fudge, brownies, ice cream, sigh............ my kryptonite, especially if it has nuts I it.

Premier Protein bars. Lately I've been using them to help boost my Protein intake. I have a shake and a bar almost every day. Between the two it's 60 grams of protein quick, but I want to make time for myself to eat more real food.

Salty, crunchy snacks....pretzels, tortilla chips, etc.

I wish I could quit.....cheese. I put eat string cheese once a day but I also use laughing cow once a day and if I can justify it I put a cheese slice on my chicken at dinner. "protein" I tell myself.....even though I could easily skip it and still meet my Protein goal. I'm determined to get it down to one serving a day, period!

I also wish I could quit coffee creamer.....no I don't....yes I do.....no I don't! Ugh!! I feel deprived if I don't have my chocolate carmel coffee creamer in the morning! Since I absolutely positively refuse to deprive myself of anything ever again I will probably have it every morning in my coffee until I go to my grave!

My husband....(oh you meant food) believe it or not I never drank coffee until I had surgery but I crave sweet and coffee and truvia just hit the spot. I love cheese, and I don't even want to smell chocolate that's how bad I am about that.

@@IcanMakeit Ha! I eat them everyday..sometimes twice. In fact my husband just bought me 3 more boxes Of them. It's just easier and I lose weight without any stalls (that I know of, I only weigh biweekly) I doubt I will give them up

[Susanjoyce392 66]

coffee Creamer for me, too! And chocolate

[jess9395 5,450]

LOL I figure I gave up enough I can keep the few "sins" that remain--real coffee, gum, cheese, Quest bars--I do all of em and don't regret any of it!

[jess9395 5,450]

Oh coffee creamer! I use Atkins vanilla Protein Shake for it and love it! Just a suggestion for that one. It's higher in fat/carbs than my regular Protein shake so I save it for a treat in my coffee!

My nemesis used to be the leftover part trays of deli sandwiches at my old job. Now my nemesis is the free Raisin Bran dispenser we have at work. But it's not really that hard to pass it by or at least really really limit how much I eat. An ounce or 2 is enough.

I'm right there with you JustWatchMe. I just stopped having a caramel mocha every morning, caffeine, sodas, dairy and refined sugar. Started this process last week and I felt angry! Lol

I'm definitely in a better place this week and I feel like I can go on (in my Celine Dion) voice.

[esskay77 785]

Oh, so many things! Interestingly chocolate is one of those things that I keep thinking I can't give up but when I eat it, it really doesn't satisfy me or taste that great so I need to learn to remember that! I think my cravings go in waves. REcently it was tortilla chips with salsa and sour cream. And I had some. And now I need to throw the rest of it away!

My other craving is fast food. I know, I know--most of my friends turn up their noses at fast food but I LOVED it! Nothing better than a Big Mac with extra mac sauce on the side (I remove the inner bun and eat that first, then put the extra mac sauce on what is left and eat that!), some french fries and a really big diet coke!! Yes, diet! I probably won't ever have it again but I sure do think about it every once in a while. Though I was thinking about what it was that I liked about it and I think it all centers around the pickles! lol. I love their pickles.

I could go on about food but I'm learning from my support group that this is "romanticising" and is a bad thing. Yikes!

But .... mmmmmmm. lol

[esskay77 785]

Oh, and ice cream!!!!
