The other is a really bad one - sugar.

This is a hard one. I have an addictive personality so I tend to cling to things I really like.
My biggest vice I guess would be tea which has been very hard this pregnancy. We have switched all things to decaf as I love tea too much to just drink one or two small glasses a day. M has already said I will have a gallon of sweet tea with caffeine waiting for me after delivery.
Others would be all things spicy, the internet, and my power tools (cliche I know but I love to build and craft with wood when I cannot calm my mind, or need to think/problem solve.)

- I'll also be a little sad when I get pregnant that I can't have wine. Oh, I love wine. I'm also going to switch from Mountain Dew to caffiene free Pepsi and Sprite. There's no way I'll be able to give soda up entirely any time soon, so I figure switching to caffiene free will work.
My phone with internet access. It's just so darn convenient. Also, I might actually perish if I'm kept from watching sports (live or on TV).
I really thought I'd go absolutely nuts without beer and wine while pregnant, but it's been pretty easy so far. I will admit that in the last week or so it's gotten more difficult, but I have hope that it's a brief phase.
Also ... cheese.

I don't know that I necessarily consider coffee a vice, but it's not exactly vital to my survival, either. I would hate to give it up - it's cheap, filling b/c I drink it with milk, and so comforting. I just feel cooler, more competent, more productive and happier when I have a cup of coffee nearby.
My biggest vice I guess would be tea which has been very hard this pregnancy. We have switched all things to decaf as I love tea too much to just drink one or two small glasses a day.
I forgot tea! Mine is not iced tea, but English tea - PG tips, two bags with two sugars and milk. I've cut down to only one bag in a cup only once a day. Its HARD!

Oh, the internet. Hands down, no question. B and I always joke with each other things like "which do you love more, me or peanutbutter?" And the internet is always the hardest one to answer. Of course I love her more, but, you know... it's an addiction!!

I've been mixing PG tips with decaf Typhoo. Its not as good as double PG tips though. Definite addiction. Glad there's someone else who drinks tea the right way hehe

Cheese. It wouldn't be an issue if I weren't lactose intolerant, but my vice means I get really uncomfortable. I still can't stop myself from eating cheese, though.

Oh yeah, this was me for a long time. Oddly, my lactose intolerance has gone away since I stopped eating gluten. I'm obsessed with fresh mozzarella right now.
Same sex couple TTC with donor sperm. I am 35 and carrying. Endometriosis and DOR. AMH 0.5, AFC 5-8, FSH 7ish
I know I can give up sugar, or any other food related thing, it's just a matter of sticking with it. I know it's best for me to avoid gluten, but I still eat it semi-regularly. I just don't love the idea of being both vegan and gluten-free when it comes to social things. I've given up caffeine for months at a time, but sometimes make exceptions and usually then it's half-decaf lattes. Starting ttc I will give it up completely.

Totally understand about only wanting so many dietary restrictions at once. I know I could give up sugar if I wanted to, because I've made so many other dietary changes - no caffeine, gluten-free, and four months of a very restrictive elimination diet. But sticking to it long term is pretty hard for me. Even though I know it's better for my health to cut it out, sugar doesn't make me feel noticeably worse physically, which makes it harder.

Mmmmm I miss black tea and coffee with cream and sugar. Haven't had it in too long...
Right now my phone w/ internet would definitely be it.
Before that coffee/tea and gum (also no more do to fake sugar/breastfeeding...) :-P
