What is the hardest part of losing weight for you? Is it eating? Exercising? Health?

    The hardest part for me is staying away from the sugary foods!

    The hardest part for me is telling the kids I need time to exercise and it's really NOT something I can't wait to do everyday! So I vote for exercise!

    probably the eating, but i have got much better at it. i was on a fast for the past month that prohibited me from eating meats and sweets, etc. no caffiene either, now that its over i find myself not craving any of the bad foods that i used to eat. i think also being here having friends to encourage and inspire you really helps

    I find the hardest part is keeping with it for the long run. I like to be active so exercise really isn't a problem. I have a heard time with the food since I love it, and I will admit to going back for seconds when I shouldn't but.

    I've done better now then I ever have and I have results to prove it.

    Getting enough water in is probably the most difficult. My eating has improved dramatically, but the bite-size candies like Mounds, Almond Joy and Twix get the best of me from time to time.

    God Bless!

    The planning - If I could have a live in chef that would prepare all of the food each day, I would be very grateful. :smile:

    Emotional eating! I definitely have to watch myself when I'm upset or anxious---

    Avoiding sodium. Because I have high blood pressure, getting my sodium under control is critical. That means very little eating out and very little processed food. Preparing three meals a day form scratch is a bit exhausting right now. I have to be so careful with my planning. And even then, I’m over y recommended maximum of 1500 mg almost every day.

    Sodium. I was the queen of the packaged food. Frozen pizza. Rice a Roni. Hamburger, Chicken & Tuna Helpers. Going just by calories, I can fit all those into my food budget, easily, but once I saw the sodium content. Yikes! :noway:
