    Good wine. I can drink a bottle without even noticing

    This. Especially hard when someone else is refilling your glass, then I am not even sure how to track!

    This x100!

    The fact that I'm a woman.

    Which means I can maintain around only 1500-1700 calories.

    Which is rubbish.

    All of it. I love food. I love fruit and vegetables and grains and meat and casseroles and stew and chili and fish and seafood and sauces and dips and chips and wine and beer and stir fry and sushi and pizza and hummus and bread and pie and food.

    I love entertaining with food and drink. I love being entertained with food and drink. I love to eat drink and be merry. I will gladly eat my veggies (and maybe yours too if left unguarded).

    My biggest obstacle with diet is quantity.

    Hormones. It's not hard for me to keep a deficit, even after 3 years, but those 10 days a month totally mess me up because I get crazy hungry.

    This. It's insane. This week I've ordered out sushi (two meals worth), and chicken fried steak, just while at work. Brownies, full sized snickers, over eating at dinner a couple nights and over snacking while at work. Even a co-worker asked me what's going on. This has all been leading up to my birthday this weekend which means I will be over indulging, a lot.

    All sweets. Once in a while I'll go on a sweets-free diet for a month or two, and completely lose my cravings/addiction, but I always tend to fall back in love with sweets no matter what.

    I can't answer your question. I'm not afraid of food anymore. I've figured out what kinds of food I can eat to satiety and what that amount is. I've learnt to eat my vegetables and not fear fat. My taste preferences have changed somewhat. So has my definition of "want" and "full", and some other words I thought I knew :# . I eat anything I want, but not everything at once, and not all the time. I enjoy meal planning, cooking, eating, shopping and even washing up (filing the dishwasher, lol).

    Having the time to prep the meals I enjoy eating. I honestly hate cutting up vegetables. I also have trouble with portion control when I'm not at home (buffet, appetizer spread)

    Wine. I can easily drink a bottle. Red or white.
    And I'm not one to measure out 4oz which is one serving. My one glass is probably 8oz.

    Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person that enjoys cutting up vegetables. I have cabinets full of chopping and shredding gadgets people keeping giving me as gifts because they know I cook a lot. They rarely see any use because I prefer to do it all by hand. Even when my husband cooks I usually do the chopping. I find it relaxing.

    1) Portion Control. I really had no idea how much I was really eating until I started weighing.
    2) "Grazing." No idea how much I was really eating (in small, continuous amounts) until I started logging.

    Oh, la. My thoughts exactly.

    For me, it's soda. As long as I can drink water, I'm good. But give me a Coke and then I need chips, then I need candy.... If you give a mouse a cookie....

    Sugar. I'm a recovering sugar addict. For real. My coworkers keep swedish berries and chocolate out and visible in the office. It's a constant battle trying to convince myself not to devour the whole jar.[/quote

    The struggle is real. I would probably have to quit this job. Not kidding. At our house, any kind of sweet has to live in the basement family room kitchen or it goes in the trash. I am finished with the old ways of eating.
