    Im sorry to hear of everyones struggles but they make me feel relieved some people on here are like just stop eating and run its so easy to lose weight, im glad im not the only one who thinks sometimes losing weight is BS! I have rage isssues (can you tell) the scales piss me off and it ruins my day completely. I never expected this journey to be easy but when im killing myself at the gym sweating in like 32 degree heat with no aircon and the windows are locked to make you sweat and ive been munching on the carrots all day and the frickin scales go up, i want to throw the dam thing out the window give up and drown in a bath of icecream! arrrrggggghhhhh
    BUT
    I will not give up, i need to be patience but sometimes when those scales play mind games i can understand why people give up most of the time! I will beat you scales and when i get to my goal i will take a sledge hammer to your wicked tormenting cruel ways mwh mah ha ha ha

    You go girl!!! and yes everyday can be a struggle but as long as you get up each morning working at it then it will get there. :flowerforyou:

    Consistency and not feeling like a slave to logging and food. I do very well for weeks on end, then totally backslide because I get burned out on numbers and macros and manipulating meals for it to all work.

    Night time snacking. Most "bad days" for me actually consist of good days capped with ridiculous dinner/post dinner overeating.

    Me too. Post-dinner is the worst for me.

    Like many others I mostly struggle with sugar. I know I'm totally addicted to it! I also struggle with getting motivated to exercise. I've been trying to lose weight (80 lbs) for a while now. I know what I need to do, I just can't seem to do it. I am hoping that joining the MFP community will help :smile:

    I struggle with keeping my confidence to be the leader I need to be.
    I struggle with some physical addictions.
    I struggle to keep from settling in to mediocrity that surrounds me.

    I struggle with tempation. If I don't have bad foods in my house I eat clean and lose weight, but the minute I go to my boyfriend's house, all he has is food that I shouldn't eat (chips and salty snacks are my weakness). I almost always give in. I want him to notice that I have gotten healthier but it seems to be backfiring. He's been out of town for two weeks and I have lost 6 pounds! How do I get him to eat better with me?! He's extremely fit because he plays a lot of sports, so he can eat whatever he likes. (Or so he thinks)

    I also struggle with getting to the gym...haha. I always make excuses for why I don't have to go. Lately this has turned around because I tell myself to just shut up and go. I feel great after my workout, but I always need to mentally battle myself to go to the gym.

    Binge eating, and recovering from a night of it.

    1. Getting enough protein. I know WHAT I need to eat to get enough, but actually doing it is another thing altogether.

    2. Not overeating. I love pasta and bread, and it's tough sometimes to limit the portions.

    3. Avoiding Pepsi. I love my Pepsi, but boy that's a lot of empty calories!

    Not eating the whole box of chocolates or whole bag of dark chocolate chips. Both of which have happened.

    And getting enough protein. Since I've switched to Intermittent Fasting, I'm finding it more difficult to meet my protein goal.

    Portion control.

    I don't have a scale (can't afford one) but after a few paychecks, I want one.

    My food scale cost $12 at Walmart.

    Mine was $12 on Amazon.

    While we're on the subject though, I struggle with people who make excuses.
