    Stones that get inside the gearbox.

    You are better off cutting down rather than cutting out for your own sanity. Nothing wrong with fish and chips, pie and mash, sticky toffee puddings etc. From April to November 2012 I ate that stuff regularly and smashed through my weight loss goal (see the banner below). In fact, I'm now eating more and am no more focused on losing weight.

    I wish!
    I have to cut out foods like that as i'm insulin resistant with pcos and foods like that even in moderate amounts can stall me for weeks so it's all or nothing for this gyal.

    What else really grinds my gears is some peoples assumptions that because i'm bigger I can't keep up like in classes at the gym etc so I work out at home where i'm my own critic and i'm doing alright. :)

    That's frustrating. Perhaps once a fortnight if you really fancy it, forgo a bit of weight loss to enjoy the food you miss, then get back on the wagon. I don't know enough about how what you have is affected by what you eat, though, so perhaps avoiding food that's bad for you is the best way forward - besides, you won't miss it if you stay off it long enough. :)

    People who say they struggle to eat enough calories....just...grr...(no offense, I'm just jealous!)

    Also people who say they "forget to eat"

    That reminds me...

    What grinds my gears? People that think they can't eat whatever they want and loose weight.
    You can eat whatever you want, honestly... you just can't eat it *whenever* you want... massive difference! My goodness, enjoy your food, enjoy your life.

    Also.. when people talk to me before my first sip of coffee. Stab to kill.

    THIS! especially the coffee part!!

    Perfectly said. But to add to the first sip of coffee...waking me up before 7 on a saturday/sunday morning without any coffee prepared. Damn you! Also the people that wear knit hats to the gym....LIKE REALLY????? ITS NOT A FRIKKEN IGLOO!

    If you wait long enough hunger "goes away", so, yes, it is possible to forget to eat when you are busy. I make the effort now, so it doesn't happen as often.

    What really grinds my gears, when people say "you're too skinny!" OR When my roommate decides she's going to starve herself to lose weight THEN she raids my closet when she loses weight to see if my clothes now fit her! Then when she squeezes into some of them, she stretches them out and I can't wear them anymore :(

    That the majority of food that tastes orgasmic :love: is bad for me and the good stuff doesn't leave me as satisfied as the bad. :sad:
    I love a cheese salad can eat it every day but never hits that sweet spot like a most chocolate cake or a portion of fish and chips.

    What grinds your gears?
    Lets do it Griffin style! :tongue:
    Food is neither bad or good.

    Exactly. Everything in moderation.

    It grinds my gears when people decide to go on a "diet" and deprive themselves of everything they once loved. Then, when they finally lose the weight, they go back to their old habits and don't consider what they just worked hard for to be a LIFESTYLE CHANGE.

    When I turn my "cheat meal" into a cheat weekend and then that full blown binge for days sets me back weeks worth of work :(

    I don't know how others do it but if I have a cheat meal it is soooo hard not to completely fall off the wagon. Its like it triggers me to just spiral out of control. Especially if there are leftovers in the house!!

    You need to give yourself time... I mean several weeks or a few months before you start with the cheat meal stuff. :)

    People that need a fad to loose weight o-o

    The need to;

    *Cut out bread
    *Chew EVERYTHING 100 times (woman at work, I'm swear she'd chew her soup!)
    *Diets endorsed by a celebrity
    *Remove chocolate
    *Go vegetarian/vegan for a period of time (you get over weight veggies too!) as apparently how to cleanse oneself
    *Fixate on a size or a specific weight (another pyscho at work will put her self on her 'bad girl' diet if she goes so much as a pound over her 'proper weight')
    *Poor quality shakes (ie purely sugar and simple carbs)

    Also other things health related;

    *People telling you that you're doing it wrong
    *The above people telling you to do one of the things listed above
    *Poor labeling (eg listing for values for the product but only noting in very small writing that it's not all that in the container.)

    I could go on x3

    People that tell me

    "Well it was EASY for you to lose the weight! I'm different, I have (insert BS excuse here) holding me back"

    I used to machine gun them with, Well I have had 3 major back surgeries, I have 6 plates & 24 screws in my spine, along with permanent nerve damage that makes walking/running excrutiatingly painful at times, also this screwed up thyroid that when my meds are not working wreaks havoc on my life with a rollerocaster of depression and inability to lose weight no matter how hard I try, BUT please tell me your issues!
    ...
    What grinds my gears is seeing a wonderful quote like the one above that screams out for a "Sarcastic Wonka" meme, but there's too much text to fit.:tongue:

    Oh well, it works in my mind...
