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?

Did anyone say why they were quitting cheese?

Agreed! Cheese is good in my mind and I can't understand wanting to give it up? cheese nuts and avocados are high in fat, but they are healthy and I personally think smart choices as long as you measure.

I am about whole foods and to me that means real milk, cream in my coffee, eggs, cheese and even bacon. It is about measuring, acknowledging and eating healthy for me. I am a huge advocate for food Journaling and while there are days I am not as 'clean' as others, I can track using that tool.

I say yay to all cheese!

Oh..and I shall never give up cheese. As I move further into maintenance I migrate toward small quantities of STRONG cheese. I notice I do that more and more..bring on flavor, fat - but in modest quantity.

I went out tonight and amazingly only "tasted" the most delicious nachos ever made. It makes me feel like a normal human that I didn't need to wolf them.

Agreed! Love strong cheeese, and small quantities give me what I need. I say I've never met a cheese I don't like! Except that processed crap they call "cheese" that starts with a vel and ends with a veeta! ewww!!

For me it's definitely sweetened iced tea. I love that stuff. But unsweetened isn't so bad now, as long as it's brewed strong enough.
