Hi Erveryone,


I'm just a little curious on what is everones biggest struggle in losing weight.

Mine is the constant "want" to eat. I'm always wanting to snack on something and it takes everything I have to resist.

I look forward to everyones answer.

Stay strong.

My biggest struggle is overcoming me.  Sounds weird but if I would just get out of my own way I would be fine.  I am the queen of excuses and attitude, until I get a look at a picture or catch myself in the mirror.  I have no patience and expect instant results with little effort. 

I am working on getting out of my own way.  Logging calories and exercises.  I spend way to much time on my backside.  Intellectully I know all that I should be doing, yet emotionally I can rationalize all the know how away.

 

I would have to say my struggle is getting too  comfortable once I lose the weight, then I think oh.. it will be fine... then I don't work out and I think .. i am still below my goal so I can eat this and not work out.

Then the weight slowly creeps up and I struggle to get in the mindset again.

 

I really want a malta. I've literally drank them all my life, from the baby bottle on, but I stopped once I started to pay attention to the calories in things. (Cuban staple or not, malta is death-by-calories in a glass bottle. Coke is a health elixir by comparison.) Only the last fews days I just really, really want to drink this stuff! I guess I could skip a meal and have one...

My boyfriend dosen't get off work til 11:30pm and we live together so its always a constant battle not to eat late at night when he does.

snacking... AND overrestricting at times so much so that i end up going crazy on "bad for you" foods

any sweet thing - chocolate, icecream etc. Also alcohol mostly wine but also drink beer and my fav summer drink is Vodka, tonic and lemon or lime.

Will I lose weight if I eat the same food over and over?

You can lose weight despite eating the same food day-after-day as long as you eat fewer calories than you burn. In fact, eating the... Read more
