    Ditto on the portion sizes thing, although I've gotten much better. However, at stuff like parties I probably take a little bit of everything rather than a little bit of just a few things, so it's just as bad LOL.

    And then when I go out to eat I tend to order horribly (or horribly good? lol) and end up going way over my calorie limit.

    AND then I have a hard time saying no when my boyfriend comes home with food (even though he knows better). Like yesterday, he brought home taco bell. *sigh* ... and the day before, it was a big ol' ice cream cone *sigh*.

    My emotions...I'm having a bad day and I'm torn between a full-on stupid binge or the bottle of wine sitting in my fridge when I get home tonight. Either one will add calories.

    But not once did exercising my frustrations away pop in my head, until just now. Sigh... guess I'll put my big girl panties on and run it out when I get home instead.

    The nine year old in me just giggled at "big girl panties." LOL. I know...exercise almost always makes me feel better, less stressed and more energetic...but when I am feeling down, I always pout and whine and gripe before I push myself to exercise and work it on out.

    My biggest obstacle is the scale not moving like I think it should. Since March 7th, I have lost 21 pounds, I began seeing a trainer last week. She told me to stop concentrating on the scale because it will move with cardio and proper diet. About 3 weeks ago a friend who also uses MFP sent me this site, I ditched weight watchers and began to use this as I feel it's more user friendly. Hopefully the scale won't own me much longer...LOL

    My biggest obstacle is exercising during that "time of the month!" I always do really well up until, and then I struggle to keep with it. I am hoping to break that pattern soon.

    Also, working in a place where their are lots of treats.

    Date NIghts.

    Sweets

    AND portion size!

    Free food. There is always something on my desk, usually donuts. I can't resist donuts. I wish they would just give me the money....

    LOL, I vote for money too!!!

    Think my biggest obstacle right now is my knee. I damaged it last year from excessive jogging but I've taken up cycling now and that seem to ease it a bit. Also knowing what to eat each day. I'm not even bothered what I eat but I'm just not that creative in the kitchen! I just want something quick and easy. My t.o.m puts me down a lot too because of the mad cravings and I get a bit sulky with exercise. lol. These are just little things so its not too bad actually :P There's always a way around it.

    I wish I could switch to diet soda, but I hate the taste of artificial sweeteners. Unless I do 1/2 Diet Dr Pepper & 1/2 Dr Pepper and add Coconut Syrup (Dirty Dr Pepper) but I think the Syrup has more calories then what I am taking out by getting 1/2 Diet. Uggg!
