For me it's how much I eat. I have always eaten healthy with few unhealthy items, but instead of one bowl of cereal I'd have 2.5.
Just wanted to see what else people have problems with while dieting.

Now I have measured my servings and made sure I don't overeat.

    binging. i binge almost daily, and find it is really hard to make it through the day without gorging myself on at least one meal.

    Beer...I find that at social events it's hard to not drink. I have actually had beers after work with my coworkers and gone to spin....it's not pleasant. I have always gotten in the workouts no matter what...it really does not feel good.

    My biggest problem...

    The items my family bring into the house. Ahem... But at least things don't "call to me" all day anymore. I love having more control over my foods. I love it.

    I have tried subbing healthier choices on certain foods like turkey for ground beef... whole grain rice and pastas... whole wheat bread... 2% cheese and skim milk. My fiance is thin.. can eat whatever he wants and never gain a pound. He absolutely refuses to eat the healthier choices because "it doesn't taste as good". So I either have to eat the fattier choices.... or make 2 meals.

    Binging- it is how I gained 20 some pounds in 3 months! But, I got on anti-anxiety medicine and now have some self control! It is amazing to feel like those normal people who don't hide in their house and eat themselves sick. I am on my way back to my happy weight.:drinker:

    *sighs* Binging is totally my biggest problem. One taco never tastes as good as three . . . :blushing:

    i just love food too.. all kinds, anytime.. i just like to eat.. not particularly an emotional eater.. not particularly an un-emotional eater.. nothing really "triggers" me wanting to eat, other than food itself.. love to buy it, love to cook it, love to smell it, and love to eat it.

    Vegtables! I like them but I have to be in the mood for them. I do not eat enough of them. I'd rather have a bowl of cereal.

    Meds and heartrate. I am on pain med for an inj and xanax for anxiety. I didnt realize (duh) that they would lower my heartrate. So i am working my butt off and my HR is 115...when w/o medicine it would be 135-140.

    So I have learned something new and pass this on to my MFP friends.

    BTW since starting this liveit I have reduced both meds by 1/2,

    I second that. My mom hates veggies and my dad is thin as can be, even though he eats high calorie foods. I really didn't have an example to learn from.

    I'm ashamed to say but my weakness is eating crap when I am on my own & in secret. I just turn my mind off momentarily and eat what ever is in sight. The incredible thing is I can go a week even 2 and then I bring myself undone in 15 short minutes

    It's like when I'm on my own I become a self destroying stranger, not all the time just everynow and then. Result I feel revoluting and don't like me very much. At these times I have to rely on the other 99% of the time I am ok.

    this problem can be very lonely which ever way you look at it!

    :embarassed:
