Mine was mostly portion size. I never ate biscuits or chocolate, etc (which makes it easy that I don't have to give stuff like that up) but I have always eaten too much. Still finding portion size difficult to be honest.

    There is a magical quality about the manner in which meat and cheese interact on a fundamental level that jacks into my stunted, uneducated taste receptacles and unleashes its wonderous mana, shooting hot electric bolts of joy through my primitive ape-brain...while at the same time engendering a fear that this buffet, this spread of food before me, this bacon burger stand may be the last food on Earth, ever...before the universe comes to a cold, hungry end...

    ...and salt. Dear, loving, tasty sodium...how I loathe when you are away from me.

    I think my biggest issue was ignorance. Simply not KNOWING how many calories (and nutritional info details) were in things, and going along believing that whatever I ate, ordered, or cooked was "semi healthy" but not having a clue. As a result, I routinely made some pretty silly decisions that I thought were okay. For example, getting a latte instead of a Snickers bar when the calories were actually higher and I would have been more satisfied by the Snickers. Not putting sour cream on my frozen burrito to "save calories" but still covering it in way too much cheese. Forcing myself to eat a bowl of shredded wheat with 1% milk for breakfast thinking it was a healthier meal than a cooked egg and a slice of toast with butter or jam.

    I am much happier now that I KNOW what I'm eating and I actually feel more satisfied with what I do eat. I find myself eating more sweets and treats now actually!

    Portion control, I do not eat often...I am trying too it helps with portions. I eat as often as I did when I was slim, not an emotional eater or binge but at dinner time if I really like something I eat way more than I need to. Also Milk, a lot of my calories went to milk even 1% I have found....thought that I was good because I don't ever drink soda (hate the stuff) :huh:
