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!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 "

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.

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!

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....

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!!! LOL

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!

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.

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.
