I'd give up sex. I really really love sex but I haven't had it in awhile now because of first being heavily pregnant and then having given birth. I don't feel like having sex, the drive isn't there because I'm in pain down there but I miss the intimacy with my husband. We still cuddle and kiss but it's not the same. I want to have sex without feeling the physical need so I know giving up the desire won't make the want go away. That being said my marriage hasn't changed from not having sex. If anything my paranoia about being cheated on has vanished and I could still be happy not having sex. (Mind you we have done open relationship before so if he kept the need for sex and I lost it I would let him have sex else where if he stayed in love with only me)
As for food our lives and cultures are built around food. Our holidays are spent cooking all day then enjoying the results as a family. Our gatherings with friends are over lunch and dinner. To not be a part of that anymore would be devastating. When I was on a strict diet I couldn't eat much so when we went out to lunch with family I sat there watching everyone else eat all the good stuff. I wasn't hungry so I didn't want food but I missed taking part in it.
Long story short- sex is losing something with one person that I could make up for in other ways. Food I lose culture and feeling like I'm part of something.
