    Being so tired in the morning and talking myself out of waking up early to work out

    Drug reps bringing restaurant food to my work for lunch every single day - it is soooooo hard to turn down free and yummy food!

    Getting caught up in how tired I am when doing cardio and not pushing myself as much as I should be

    Oh I'm great eating-wise until about 6:00pm.
    Then everything in sight (food wise), run for your life!

    Sugary foods, also.

    Those devilish processed carbs and sugar. Preferably at the same time. Cake, desserts, chocolate etc. Not fussed about the savoury stuff....

    Feeling a need to reward myself after accomplishments and I'm a goal oriented individual, for everyday things, like cleaning up paperwork, organizing, running errands. After getting a bulk down I want to decompress with (blank) and when I don't I feel deprived. I am now learning that the accomplishment is the reward!!!!

    Snacking in the evening. I eat dinner at 6pm (because I am really hungry by then) but I am rarely in bed before 12. Learning to divide my calories into 4 and eat at 8am, 1pm, 6pm and then a small evening snack at 9pm.

    My weakness is my husband! He can eat whatever he wants and not gain weight. :smile: Ok, so I guess it's not him as it is that I enjoy all fattening foods. We both enjoy buffalo chicken wings, fries dipped and ranch...and other high fat/calorie foods. Sometimes I get in this rut...eating large portions of these foods. The more I eat the lazier I get...therefore not exercising!

    My biggest down fall is STRESS , it prevents me from letting go of my weight no matter what I do … I have been in a plateau for over 2 months, staying within my calorie range , adding more aerobics / weights to no avail . I know its the stress but not sure how to go about not stressing .

    Has anyone ever made the spinach dip off the back of Knorr vegetable soup mix?
    That with Tostios always has me craving a can of Coke, then I turn ravenous, like Cookie Monster.

    Crisps, specifically pringles or kettle chips. I can easily eat a full tub/sharing bag in one go. That said i'm also partial to a bag of walkers/tyrells/squares/wotsits....well you get the idea

    Oh and wine. Love wine...and gin, vodka, cider....Okay i like alcohol in general which then makes me eat more

    Crunchy things that comes in small bite size. I can eat a piece of cake or two and stop myself, telling myself that I have eat enough. Yet, when it comes to small bite size things, it just feel like its calorie should not be added up much, but it does. -__-

    after just, ridiculous amounts of time doing this (this is my second major weight loss in 11 years and there was a 7 year maintenance in the middle) I have learned to not crave sweets very much, and not be addicted to carbs, and not be in the habit of zombie-like munching. I don't have snacks in front of the TV, and I don't go crazy with food at parties. BUT, I have transformed into a fat & protein addict. I crave meat and cheese pretty much every day. I have to work to limit my protein most of all.

    I think mine are
    1. Chocolate 2. Cookies (the dominos type) 3. Cakes

    Going to my parents house or being in a place where food is forced upon me. There are only soo many times you have the willpower to say no.......
