    Pizza and beer. Pizza is definitely my cryptonite. I can't stop at a slice or two. As for beer, I love it and will be happy to put a few down at any given time.

    Wine and anything salty or starchy, breads and cheeses. Yikes!

    Mine: Wine. Weekends.
    I do SOOO well working out daily, eating right & adhering to my target calories all week & then the weekend rolls around & everything I've worked hard on all week goes out the window. Sigh!
    A glass of wine (OK, I lie... 2, maybe 3) on Friday, a beer (or 2) Saturday etc... Lots of snacking here & there & almost always exceed my max calories.
    I'm catholic so I'm HOPING to give up

    Weekends are the hardest for me too! The structure of a workday Mon-Fri helps. But when the weekend is here all bets are off! I'm just starting to log EVERYTHING and I'm hoping the fact that others will be looking at my food log wil make me be more self-aware of what I eat.

    Anything in arms reach between 10-11 p.m. I hit the sack to avoid this witching hour of snack craziness.

    This does help! I doubt people really care what I eat but knowing I have to log it for everyone to see makes me more accountable. If you are honest with the logging it helps!

    Baked goods. Especially cinnamon rolls pulled out of the oven right before I walk into my fav coffee shop... Ugh... And no time for the gym today.

    Cheese and chocolate. I gave up bread and butter, but I'm still gaining. Maybe this buddy system will help.

    I my gosh you guys must be long lost siblings!!!! I do Log everything I eat including those sweets ! If I didn't eat them I know I'd lose faster but to be honest if feel deprived and resentful. Better to have one kiss or one candy and keep it real as far as I'm concerned !

    Sweets for sure (mmmm....chocolate). But I tend to stress eat, so all those snacks at work are fair game! It's the worst, especially when it's not even something that I really love, but I eat it anyway.

    Oh, and restaurant food, of course. We eat out frequently (esp. weekends), and trying to find something delicious that's not a calorie bomb is tough! Los Angeles restaurants are so delicious

    Getting hungry - I'll do great all day, and then the evening hits and I shouldn't eat anymore and I get hungry and BAM, eat way too much, usually craving fat and sweet at the same time.

    Ice cream. Daily. It fits my macros. :smile:

    Everyone 3 months or so I crave cake. White cake with white frosting is the only thing that'll do. So my wife makes me a cake and I eat the entire thing in two days, snarling at anyone who approaches it. Then I'm tired of cake and can refocus until the next cycle. I also log that I had two pieces when in fact it was more like 6.

    Sometimes I take it a step further. Sometimes the cake stares at me, damning me with guilt over it's high caloric content and zero nutritional value. So I cover it with ice cream. Problem solved.

    My weakness is large dinner then evening snacking. The bad habit started when I worked nights and caused a 15 lb weight gain this past holiday season. Working hard to break both of these. :p

    Chocolate , Beer and more Chocolate with some Red Wine thrown in for good luck.

    On a normal day I can't walk past the fridge without stopping off to get a Chocolate fix

    And I wish the local Kebab and Pizza joint didn't deliver

    I love to eat everything including veggies but my weakness is sugar:( sometimes half my calories for the day goes to chocolate. .. I know bad but I also have night eating issues. .. I try to stay out of my house as much as possible! ! So I don't eat what's in the house but I think I'm improving. .. going out is hard and I usually do once a week so I try not to go to crazy and use it as my cheat day for the week... usually doesn't hurt me as long as only the once
