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?

For me it is nuts! I love them, they are decent protein but i find myself eating them more than I should. My favorite right now are unshelled pistachios.

Quest bars

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

I'm with you--especially at work. You have to go by the coffee and snacks to get to the bathroom in our workroom!! Some days it's just fine, but even though I tell myself that I already know what they taste like, they still get me!!

I wish I knew how to quit loving someone. Sigh

@@proudgrammy I've never tired either of those flavors! Lord help my husbands wallet if I do!

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!

Why cheese?

I wish I could quit grazing. I'm never hungry, but have developed the habit of noshing frequently during the day on whatever is available.... pretzels, crackers, leftover lunch items, etc. I've been in another stall, and I know that this is the reason why.

I absolutely have to take myself physically away from the food--and start thinking of something else. And I'm not always successful at doing that--I fight it every day--especially when I'm at work. I don't know if it's avoidance of doing something I don't want to do--or I just like to have something in my mouth. Sometimes gum will help.

It's really hard not to have coffee this weekend since I'm snowbound here in Chicago today. But I'm drinking water.

I really wish I could quit you... a certain person in my life - ha!

For the people who said Quest bars--does this mean that we shouldn't be eating them? WHy not? I don't have them very often but I thought they were ok to have. Sigh. I need a really good list of what we can and can't have!! not just protein and carbs but actually items. My head really has a hard time processing what is a carb, what isn't, what is ok, what to stay away from unless they are extremely obvious. Chicken=yes; ice cream=no.

@@esskay77, Quest bars are only bad if you abuse them like I do. I let them take the place of a non-processed natural breakfast or snack pretty much every day. They haven't interfered with my weight loss, but I believe my digestive issues might be improved if I was eating more "cleanly." That being said, I'm still planning to have another one for breakfast this morning. They're really my favorite breakfast.

Peanut butter! Yeah, yeah, I know - there's the stuff you grind yourself, there's PB2, there's Peanut Butter flavored Protein - I've tried those and even use them sometimes.

But they're just not Jif.

That's what my mother fed me, and I will always, always love it!

@@IcanMakeit If you were to have a "clean" breakfast, what would it be? I have gotten hooked on Kashi Trail Mix bars for breakfast and know I should have something else but mmmmm.

@@roundisashape -- JIF!! So many chemicals but SO GOOD! Honestly, it is the best tasting peanut butter out there! lol. I try to switch to real natural peanut butter but it just isn't the same. I also need to lay off the peanut butter. I have gotten into the habit of having peanut butter on multigrain crackers with my meals. I HAVE to stop! And I never used to be a peanut butter fanatic but now I can't stop!
