    The inevitable plateaus. Oh and a love of scotch and dessert neither of which I've had in over a month!

    I have eliminated 7 foods from my intake. Soda, trans fats, regular pasta, high fat dairy, white sugar and white flour, fried foods and white bread. So far I am doing fine. There are alot of other things besides those I can munch on. :-)

    Baked goods. Nothing but empty carbs, but boy do they taste good.

    I'm lazy and like food. Only way I've figured out to get by is to eat less (enough to not be hungry but not enough to be satisfied). It works for a few months, then I do silly things like eat 300g of cookie dough.

    I used to be a baker, and there is an air duct that turned on whenever I opened the oven to take out my snickerdoodle cookies or Italian bread....stores are sneaky :-)

    Pizza is my absolute weakness haha. All kidding aside...sometimes I lose focus and slip up. Staying focused is key though. Keep my eyes on the prize!

    Being sick (a lot lately), being a chocolate/junk food addict and being a busy parents and sometimes just snacking on whatever I can grab because I don't get time to cook a decent meal.

    I admit, I was a great salesperson. After I took the cookies out, (maybe 10 containers worth), I would sample out one containers worth. Walk around with a platter and they would say, "It THAT what I was smelling??" "Yep", I would reply. I would say simply, "You want these, wait 10 min, shop around, and I will box it up for you". I was even sneakier than the store. hahaha
