Hi everybody! I've been using the myfitnesspal app for just under 2 years now and have had some weight loss success with it. However, I've had my fair dose of fat shaming, being told I'm lazy, and fighting/succumbing to junk food temptations. I have found that voicing frustrations can help. I was just wondering what sort of things have frustrated you the most about losing weight. Thanks guys!

who tells you you're lazy?
Seems to me like the weight you need to lose is friends/family who would try to "motivate" you by demeaning you.0 -
The most frustrating obstacle has been myself. Overcoming my own issues with food. Learning about food. Learning when/how much to eat. lastly exercising discipline and self control not to eat all of my calories from one junk food and then have none for the rest of the day.0

For me it's hunger (usually during PMS) and yeah, willpower when it comes to sweets.0

I think you should be proud of what you have acheived so far!!! I find it most frustrating when I've been dieting for so so so long that I start to hit a wall and no more weight comes off. I guess I get bored. I never ended up reaching my goal weight!0

yea, sometimes friends and family say that which does kind of sting , But they're overall good peoples. Sometimes I see people telling others they're lazy on discussion boards. I find that diverting my attention towards useful advice and ignoring the demeaning ones very helpful.0

Your ticker confuses me.0 -
My biggest obstacle is staying motivated to exercise.0
-
I would say for me, it's patience.0

Injuries. I'd rather eat more and do more. Figuring out how to just eat less is a pain.0

@ barbecuesauce- I don't understand your statement, please clarify if you'd like
@shell1005- i don't shame my self anymore as that name was chosen about 2 years ago. But my response to you is, it takes one to know one. Just wanted to get some insight on people's common weight loss obstacles.-4 -

Your ticker states that you haven't lost anything and are 1820 pounds to goal.

I see. I use this app to count my macros only. I find it more sustainable with greater fat loss success. I also don't place too much emphasis on weight lost. I use a tape measure to track my progress.0

The only obstacle I faced was inaccurate or outright false information on how to lose weight. Unlearning the garbage and learning how to set and maintain an appropriate calorie deficit put me on the right path.0

It takes one to know one? really?0

I lol'd a bit, but at the same time, it's refreshing to see posters who aren't so keen on the art of insult.
OP I've seen many people with names that reflect dissatisfaction with their weight as a motivator - not sure why people jumped on it, as you're far from the only one. (If you did happen to want to change your handle, you can do that one time, I think.)0 -
Getting my mind to catch up with my loss. Still see an obese person in the mirror....0
