Just figured I ask this question. I know we all have things that trip us up, hard to give up treats, or something else that might get in the way of our journey. This way we know there are others having the same problems and maybe can get tips on how to overcome those.

This might not sound bad to some, but for me, the hardest thing is to make sure I eat enough healthy calories. It's so damn hard to find those... By the end of the day, I'm tried of eating. I'm enjoying all the exercising but it's just finding those calories and doing that on a budget...

Good Luck to everybody!!!

    Going out to eat...that's the hardest thing for me! I do fine during the weekend with structured meals at work and in the evenings. The weekend is all about socializing, especially in the South, so it's hard to eat right on the weekends! Just have to make more healthy decisions...

    I gave nothing up. Junk food is a treat now. Not part of my regular day.

    Being organized and managing my time! (Seriously) Especially lately while we've been moving apartments, I can't remember when I worked out last or cooked dinner at all, much less a healthy dinner! Everything's been getting done last minute or not at all lately.

    Night time snacking. I cannot live without my bedtime snack! I always have to make sure I "save" enough calories for it. Oh, and ice cream during TOM.

    For me lack of progress is the hardest thing. Not seeing inches or the scale move demotivates me in all other areas and it's been a month, I'm hanging on by a string.

    Candy and soda was hard for me to give up. I drank a lot of soda. The way I gave it up is to not have it with me. I pack a lunch bag with me everyday. I keep healthy stuff in it. So when I want to snack I don't have a choice but eat what's in my bag. I normally pack fruit and protein shakes along with my lunch. I pack extra snacks for those times when I'm out and about and find myself hungry. This way I avoid having to resort to fast food.

    Wine, I miss wine so very much. And my favorite thing to do is bake but I'm trying to give it up for a while, I know I could try to find healthy recipes but for now i think it's best if I just stay away from it!

    Weekends! I can eat healthy during the week when I'm on my normal routine/schedule. As soon as the weekend hit and all my time frames are messed up, I just go crazy with the food!
