What was your main downfall when it came to packing on the pounds?

Snacking without thinking.
I stopped this by asking myself "am I really hungry or am I just eating for the sake of eating?"

Eating too much food in general.0

Wine. Lots of it.
I had to stop completely for a time to realise fully how much it hinders every aspect of your mental, emotional and physical health.
I have a few drinks (3-4) once a month now. No wine. Sugarfree alco pop things....1 bottle = 1 drink. Not the massive bucket red wine glasses I could fit half a wine bottle into.
I feel 100% better.
Birthday is even coming up and I have opted out of "drinks with friends" for a night with my kids and partner at a nice restaurant. I will probably have a mojito or mai tai whilst there though0 -
Not eating and Stress. May sound odd but I was working two jobs, being a mom of 2 under 3, and the lack of sleep I still kept packing on the weight! I would end up killing a bag of candy at my evening job instead eating real food. The stress (or a better word would be anxiety) was keeping me awake at night cuz my mind would just go to awful places and I would get barely any sleep. After no sleep and constant working and trying to make time for my kids it was a crazy life for a minute.0

eating anything and everything0 -
Oh man where to begin??? Going out to dinner way to often. Enjoying way too many mixed drinks at restaurants. And definitely drinking way too much coffee and lattes because I was in school. Had no idea how much sugar and carbs was in that crap! Lack of working out. I was able to eat anything in sight without gaining weight. Then my senior year in high school I developed a terrible habit of not eating. So then when I started eating I found all this extra weight over the course of a couple years0

Boredom eating and portion control. Stopped keeping anything in my desk drawer at work, and started paying attention to what a portion actually means... got me down to here. Now I'm here because I need to figure what else to change to get rid of the last few pounds!0
