    Not eating enough calories during the day. Sounds funny I know but I do really well during the day and have over 1/2 my calories (regular not exercise) when I go home. Where I eat and eat and eat.

    Wine.cheese.Beer.Wings.

    all my major weekend issues

    Add chocolate to that and there you have it!

    This! And if I'm having a bad day, getting to the gym. If I'm in a bad mood normally I'll end up being like "WHO CARES" to everything. So that's never a good time. :')

    All or nothing thinking for me. I do really well and if I take a "break" for a night it turns in to a "break" for a month because I make excuses and do the "Well, I'll start again tomorrow." I'm a little worried about allowing my comfort foods, which run the spectrum, because they've historically triggered me in to that all or nothing line of thinking.

    I have been doing very well tracking calories on another site and now this site, so my focus is to eat healthy and get nutrition in while staying within calorie limits to lose.

    I'm working on not being ruled by food though, and allowing those things in within nutrition and calorie limits. Still keeping away from stuff until I feel ready... When do you ever feel ready for this? :)

    ok, so in just a quick search - it seems my best options are dry white wine, or gin/vodka and tonic . Ill stick with my wine :) ...and probably try adding the water ;)

    My life quote used to be" "Diet Starts Tomorrow", so I totally feel you on this. One of the hardest things is not letting a set back or "break" completely erase all your hard work.

    Resisting dessert for me! It's so hard. One minute I am focused and the next minute I am getting cookies! I did it today. lol

    Same for me! My sweet tooth tries to get the best of me daily! I have gotten better, I usually have hard candy(Jolly Ranchers ect) w/ me at all times...it usually helps stave off the sugar cravings.

    Weekends are a challenge because my boyfriend and I like to go out to eat one or two times. Add in a couple of glasses of wine and my boyfriend asking do you want to go for ice cream...........arghhh. Some weekends I resist, sometimes I cave in. Also, I love to work out, but finding the time to do it as often as I would like is hard. I would love to get 6 work outs a week in.....most weeks I only manage 4 though. Oh well, never give up, never surrender!!!

    I do this too! I try not to even come home till supper time so I can start cooking right away!!! If I sit without food then I will eat whatever isn't nailed down!! My weakness is carbs. I love chips and salsa, chips, pretzels, you name it and I love it!

    Going out to eat with family, which I think is their favorite past time. Plus I'm getting scared for Christmas we are going to be away at family's and that woman can cook, good Lord she has some great stuff. Moderation, moderation moderation then exercise exercise and exercise :)

    Eating with my friends especially if it was not a planned thing: I am pretty much going to eat approximately what they are eating, whether or not it fits with the calories I had eaten/burned that day.

    Consistency: If I skip more than a couple of days of logging, it is harder for me to get back in the groove

    Injuries: They have limited my running and impact working out so I have had to focus more on the calorie intake, which I am way worse at.

    Food in general. I just really love food. A lot. Too much. I love healthy stuff and I love UNhealthy stuff. So there's really no reason why I have a problem "dieting" but I do. I can last two weeks without fast food, salty snacks, deep fried foods...but then...a craving comes and just does not go away.

    my biggest struggle is not sampling.... If my mom has like a Mcdonalds hamburger I will be like " ooooo one bite wont kill me" ya but when you break it down that one bite is 70 calories and if u do that with everything throughout the day it adds up alot...
