One thing that no one knows about me even my husband is that when we would have snacks in the house (sweets or salty) I would take out one for me when i got my husband or kids something. But then I would eat even more when no one was looking. Its like I couldnt control myself. There is no telling how many calories I was consuming because I couldnt remember how much I was eating. I blame it on my depression and my anxiety but truth is I knew what I was doing and I was doing it just because.

I have a hard time with dieting. I know I should eat healthier but it's just so hard with all the junk food dh likes to keep around. He's 6' and never has had a problem with his weight. Some times when I wake up in the middle of the night I find myself grazing thru the fridge...bad habit I've got to work on!!0

There are days that I JUST DON'T CARE!! I've learned to manage them most of the time, but I find myself occasionally just going "You know what? I am going to eat this [insert delicious but SO unhealthy food here] because it's awesome and I JUST DON'T CARE what it's going to do to me!!"
Which isn't so bad if it's ONE food occasionally, but usually it's a whole day, which turns into two, a week, a month... and then I'm back to the start!0 -
I am having trouble eating all my calories every day.
(I am attempting a metabolism reset, which requires eight weeks of eating at TDEE).
No, I am not anorexic. I am morbidly obese with a BMI of 41.2
The problem?
I have very little interest in eating healthy food, especially if I have to prepare it myself. And I really have problems eating in the first half of my day. I have been drinking generic Slim Fast shakes every morning as soon as I get up because I find those and chocolate milk are the only thing I can get down in the first hour or so after rising.
On the other hand, I love greasy, spicy, sugary, cheesy, chocolatey, high calorie, low nutrition junk food. I could be full and still find room for more ... which is exactly how I got into this mess in the first place.0 -
I can't give up my two squares of dark chocolate every day....0

I am so proud of all of us! We are looking at the new year with high hopes in our weight loss journey. I really think this is going to be a year with a lot of successes. Keep focusing on our goals and we will achieve them.

i hate eating in front of ANY one, when the kids were at home we ALWAYS sat for family meals 5-7 days a week but when the youngest moved out, i stopped eating at the table with my husband and tell him to GO AWAY while i eat alone in front of the TV, when i am done he can come back in if he likes. sometimes it is because i do not want any "witnesses" to my poor choices, but most of the time it is just because i feel judged by everyone when i eat, about my choices and my amounts. even when it is a good choice...i feel uncomfortable and judged.0

I'm a middle of the night binge eater....well, maybe more like 10 pm...but you get the picture. I do GREAT the first month or two eating healthy and exercising, then I just quit...so I am hoping that you all will keep me going!0
-
Now that I'm in my 50s I have doubts about whether I can still lose the weight...is it too late? But I haven't given up.0
-
My friends think that I am crazy to get up and hour early, every morning to exercise. BUT if I don't then I am not as relaxed and focused at work.0

I know I need to lose weight and when I think about how much weight I have gained then i want to eat, then i get mad at myself. Laugh for today, I walk around last night holding my stomach because it was just plain heavy on my body. Hubby was slept so he did not see me doing this I looked really funny hold that weight but it also let me see how much extra stuff my body is carrying around. Have a great day0

I have lost and gained back the same 30 or so pounds several times over the last ten to fifteen years and I am worried that the same thing will happen again this time, but I hope my willpower will win over the urge to eat this time.0
-
I am embarrassed to be seen in public in my local area because I'm 70lbs heavier then I was 6 years ago.
I hate bumping into people I know so I TRY to avoid them because I'm afraid when I was away, they'll talk crap about me and tell everyone how big I've gotten.0 -
I think I am a pretty honest person, and I don't really hide things so I had a hard time coming up with a truth. However, I have also hid stuff that I eat from people. I eat "normal portions" in front of everyone and go back for seconds in secret. I know that it is too much, but I have had very low will-power for a while, so I still eat it, but hide it. This is a habit that has gone back years now, not just when I was overeating. So it will be hard to break, but I think with a group like this I will get the support I need to break it.0

Everything people posted is soooo true. Weight lose is a frustrating journey. I lose weight then have to do it again. In the past it has always been gained during pregnancy. This year not so. I am scared that I won't be able to lose it and keep it off. I look at my mom, she has lost weight in the past, them gained it back so many times. A couple of years ago she just gave up. I don't want to be that way. I want to lose the weight and keep it off. Sometimes I think my fears are what prevents me from being successful. If I don't really try then when I fail I can blame my lack of effort, not my inability to truly lose weight.0

I buy special food for me- usually healthier snacks that make me feel bad & I hide them so none of my family can find and eat them LOL
I dont share my food very well- you know those animal shows where they test the dog for aggressive behaviour with food- & he growls and bites the hand- THATS ME lol now dont get me wrong i am a mom of 3 & give up my plate ALL the time but seriously there are times i just want to hold my food and become like golum "my precious, my precious "0 -
I am addicted to chocolate. I haven't had it for 2 days and think about it way more than I should!
I also found out last night that I really like Zumba!0 -
I always do good with my eating during the week days. But I have a hard time with the weekends when my husband is home.
So any weight that I lose during the weigh I tend to put back on because of the weekend. So I'm always up and down the same couple of pounds.
This is the one area I need the most help with. So I'm right were I started last year at this time.0 -
I am normally a happy person and today I am so angry at one of my sons I could just strangle him. He is almost 16 and making mistakes that can affect his whole life if he doesn't turn it around. Just grrrr!0
-
I here voices, they are especially loud now that I am trying to get healthy, but it's only food wise, you girls and work girls and the hubby have been very great and supportive thank you!0

I have no will power what so ever. I am gluten free because of health issues, but if it looks good and I want it I'll eat it. I am sabotaging my own health for the simple pleasure of a cookie here and there.0
-
Before trying to better my health, I would regularly (like everyday) binge eat. When my husband asked where all the donuts went or the cookies I would always say something like, "The kids got into them", or "We shared them", or "I had people over that shared them with me". What a fatty move of me!!! I was embarrassed that I put it all down myself, so lied about it..... Stupid lies, but they still made me cringe everytime they came out of my mouth. Eventually I would end up telling him though cause it would eat me alive! Another thing, when nobody is looking I used to always go for seconds on cupcakes or whatever the dessert was....0

I have become somewhat of a social recluse since I have gained some of my weight back. I dislike going anywhere in public anymore

I am trying to quit smoking and lose weight at the same time. I have quit a couple times before, so I know I can do it cold turkey. But, I must admit, trying to stop smoking and not pig out at the same time is really making me struggle this time around. However, I am doing better with the eating part. I am watching what I eat, and record everything on here. Just think happy thoughts for me while I try to stop the other habit! I am finding that doing both really makes me a moody momma and wife!!! LOL0

I sometimes secretly snack, or hide snacks so i can eat them later when no one is around..0

I started Zumba in December and also love it! I haven't been in a while with the holiday and last night I had a migraine - so no class for me. I am so excited to get back tonight! It's a great burn too! Good for you!0

My truth...
1. I'm completely obscessed with the number on the scale. I haven't weighed in since before Christmas and it's killing me.
2. I need to overhaul my life in many ways this year, not just in terms of healthIf I don't get organized and start pulling my weight I am afraid my relationship will suffer.0 -
I can identify with what many of you are saying, especially hiding snacks so people don't see me eating things I know I shouldn't be eating. I guess my biggest truth is that I act like a full blown diva who loves her body. In reality, I am ashamed of my weight and find myself getting jealous of my thin friends who seemingly do not put any effort into maintaining their figures.0

I love sweets so somedays the anxiety attack me and Eat a kiss oen two or three no more like that lol
I feel like alcoholic person each day is a race and in the end of the day I feel like a champion. Pray to my lord Jesus and say thanks for another day... :flowerforyou: 0 -
I haven't been diagnosed or anything, but I'm worried that my weight is causing sleep apnea. Diabetes also runs in my family and I'm kinda afraid to get my numbers run. Hoping to lose a few before getting those things checked out.0
