    I have been okay with removing certain things from my diet. No more sodas or fast food -- I thought those would be hard, but I haven't missed any of it. I think I would miss it more if I had been drinking soda with caffeine, but I would always drink caffeine free, so I don't have any headaches. If I want a treat (like Ice Cream), I let myself have it -- but I make sure to track it, and I don't have it often.

    My biggest struggle right now is with sodium! It is hard to cook fresh all the time. I cook dinner every night, but the other two meals are difficult. I had been buying the progresso light soup -- but I never tracked the sodium or even looked at the can. Tonight I noticed one can was half my sodium limit for the day, and I'd usually have 2 during the course of a day. Not anymore. Those cans will be coming out of my pantry and going to charity, as will some other things we have in our pantry that I never paid attention to.

    Over the next few days I am going to try to come up with something cheap but healthy not only with calories and carbs, but with sodium as well. I'm thinking I'll make my own soup, and freeze the servings so I can control how much salt goes into it.

    And ahhh.... look at those one word/sentence replies, and I write a novel.

    TLDR: Sodium!

    I'm on two medications that make me hungry most of the time. A few months ago I was off of them and I could really see the difference. DEB

    FOOD!!

    Seriously...remember that chip commercial that said you couldn't eat just one? That's me....if I start it, I have to finish it, no matter what.....so I guess you could say portion control is my biggest issue at the moment! :ohwell:

    Mine is stress snacking. I had an amazing day, then one dumb thing happens and first instinct, go for the snack. Im grateful tonights were Healthy snacks since i have zero junk food in the house, but it was definately and extra 300 cals that I didnt need. Imagine if that was fattening snacks. I wouldve thrown my whole day off. My weakness is "stress" snacking. I let dumb things get to me, and then i lose control. Definately need to find other ways of dealing. Like going for a walk or something. this will be the biggest feat mentally and physically for me. if i can beat the results from stress, id have a clear head and healthier body*

    Sweets, and not enough excercise is my downfall. At work I sit most of the day, but as soon as the holiday break ends (1.7.13) I'm going to park further away, walk the halls (at school) on my breaks. I'm pumped up about joining Myfitnesspal.
    I wish all you members the best of everything. I got your backs!

    Losing control and total binging on fast food. Like, 3 drive thrus binging. It's terrible. Re-routed my way to work even! And sweet sugary cereals! I'm embarrassed to say I can eat a whole box of Fruity Pebbles in one sitting...

    Moderating carbs is difficult for me, but important because of my insulin resistance. And I'm trying to pretty much give up a lot of sweets because sugar just wreaks havoc on my system.

    Also, being so big is a struggle in itself. It's like I constantly want to do things, but I just physically can't. I need to learn to take it slow :smile:
