What is your biggest roadblock?

What is the main thing holding you back from achieving your goals? I'd say my top derailer is work lunches. I tend to not get my act together enough to pack lunches on a regular basis, so I often buy from the cafeteria, and the meals are very high calorie. It's completely my fault for being lazy and I know it's holding me back because I do pretty well the rest of the time with my eating.

I know I need to get more organized and prepared if I want to reach my goal, which is about 19 more pounds to go!

    Easy food, like stuff from a gas station. It can be low calorie, but it's just not good.

    Me too! I don't drink often, but when I do I have a few and they are usually pretty high calorie. I like my girly drinks!

    Alcohol most definitely. I have all the willpower in the world when it comes to food, but it's a little more challenging where cocktails are concerned. Oh well, at least I'm fun! :bigsmile:

    Drinks and Social Gatherings. Family and friends are always pressuring me and making my feel guilted into eating more than I really need or want. The only person supportive of my goals is my BF.

    Superficial hunger. when that 3 o' clock "hungry!!" alarm starts going off and I'm out of veggies and fruit so I go straight for the peanut butter, nilla waffers, nutella, and crackers:/

    Developes my Will Power though :noway:

    Exercise. I'm fairly active at work because there's always something to do but on my days off I tend to do what feels like absolutely nothing and I've never had a good track record for forcing myself to exercise.

    Myself - using food to reward/self medicate.
