Just curious everyone,
What was (or is) the hardest thing you have faced on your weight loss journey? (Cravings, bad emotions, etc). We all know weight loss isn't easy and there are bound to be at least a few struggles.

Mine is JUNK FOOD! I can't seem to stick to my calories for any length of time before I just have a binge day and eat junk all day....

    Mine is the constant stream of junk food that gets bought into my office for someone's birthday/leaving/because its Friday. So hard to resist when it's staring you in the face!!

    chocolate. I can be doing great all day, and then go to the store and can't stop myself from grabbing a candy bar. I hate myself after wards.

    Mine is resisting chocolate and cookies. I used to eat so many chocolate bean cookies before I went on a diet and lots of chocolate bars. Whenever I see people eating them now I feel this huge surge of jealousy and bad cravings, but I know if I eat well for the week then I can allow myself a treat. Just one cookie rather than the whole bag though!

    Having the energy to get to the gym after taking care of my 5 kids all day is the hardest thing for me.

    Patience and not letting small setbacks send me toward failure.

    Oh, yeah, and alcohol, too...

    For me it is exercise! Like someone said, putting yourself first is harder than you think.

    Probably alcohol, and spending all my time around guys who are bigger (and therefore can eat more) than I. I don't want to just give up and embrace my role as The Chick and start eating and drinking nothing but salads and water, because pizza and beer is delicious.
