What's the biggest weakness in your diet or lifestyle?

also alcohol, it seems like i just can't have control

Not Nutella?

nutella is the reason why i gained 13 lbs in a month

@Nutella91.....ditch the nutella and use PB2 instead, Oh my gosh there is life without nutella, who knew?!!

Snacks...chocolate.... cheese........:sad:

Sweets:(

Crisps / Potato Chips - Food Addiction

Lots of stuff, but mainly chicken wings, pizza, ice cream, cheese and chocolate.

Food. I am a professional personal chef. I like food. I dislike exercise, but know if I want to enjoy all food, I better do it. I read, and search new recipes daily.

My entire pantry, late at night. I can go all day without even breaking a sweating eating good. Once 11pm rolls around I crave and almost die until I have something that's not good for me.

Sugar. I like cake, ice cream, poptarts, and reese's peanut butter cups. I mean. I really like them. Like this past week I said **** IT and I personally am responsible for taking down a 62 oz lemon cooler cake from costco, a 42 oz tuxedo mousse cake from costco, 20 brown sugar cinnamon poptarts, 1 pint of dulce de leche haagen dazs, 1 box of mini magnum gold ice cream bars, and 60 reese's pb eggs. No, I don't have diabetes (I actually have low blood sugar most of the time). And I weigh 95 lbs. I weighed 92 before this week though lolll

I have no problems sticking to a calorie intake until I start eating sweets again and then it all goes to hell because I can't do moderation when it comes to sugar. For stuff like pizza, fries, potato salad, bagel with cream cheese? Sure. Even though those foods are energy dense/high cal and not that filling, I can stop after 1 - 2 servings. Dessert? Nope. I don't have an off switch.

For me it's dairy..pretty much any kind. I LOVE ice cream!! I can't keep it in the house. I love baking brie, or having nacho's, I love cream in my coffee the whole spectrum of dairy I worship.

Problem is I have a sensitivity to it. So when I am on dairy no word of a lie I can gain 10 lbs in a week from all the water my body holds on to. My body just swells like like a member of the Klump family. 90% of the time I can be off of dairy and use substitues ( soy, almond etc) be totally cool with that and happy as a clam. But I will slip up and go to DQ or something with friends and then for like 2 weeks I am a FEIND. I will feel awful and bloated, get earaches and have all these other horrible symptoms from eating it but it's like I have been possessed by the power of the cow. I will have to go up at dress size while I eat it b/c my stomach expands until I look like I am roughly 6. months pregnant

So once I have gotten over it I have re-lose 10 or so pounds that I have gained with eating ( luckily most of it is water my body held on to trying to protect me from....me) Why do I do this to myself??? I will never fully understand

Other then that mabe ice tea comes in as a very distant 2nd...lol

-emotional/stress eating
-carbs (bread, bake goods, sweets)
-using more calories for snacks compared to meals

Meats
Dairy
Breads
Restaurant Foods

The scale pounds drop like water off of a duck's back when I avoid eating meat, dairy, restaurant foods (NOT junk restaurant foods, but the so-called "good" restaurant foods). When I eat these foods...I gain weight--even though I eat them well within my macros and NEVER above calorie intake for the day :noway: :grumble: :noway: These good foods for others hinders my progress in losing weight.
