    Eating when Im not really hungry (usually at night), finishing up my kids plates...because I don't want it to "go to waste."

    I've learned that 9/10 times I drink enough alcohol, I lose ability to exercise willpower control: I will eat all the things on top of drinking all the things. The way I can stuff myself after a few drinks is almost impressive.

    I haven't cut out alcohol altogether, but these days I don't have more than two drinks a week, total. I only ever go a little over when I'm out dancing, but then I spend a good two or three hours trying to dance the boozy feeling off.

    I had to give up alcohol all together or I was eating entire boxes of cookies at night.

    Anything salty and crunchy! Chips, popcorn, crackers of any kind but my faves and downfalls have to be black pepper & sea salt Triscut and smoked Almond thins. But hey, let's not forget about cheeze its, saltines, and omg I could eat a ton of croutons! yup, very dangerous for me! I used to eat toast with butter and mustard for breakfast... YUM

    Tim hortons Cheese bagel with herb and garlic creamcheese for breakfast WAS a bad habit (but SO yummy). No longer go to Tims for breakfast.
    These days, its the alcohol.

    Buying a pack of food and feeling obligated to consume it asap before expiration date -_-

    Snacking on alll the foods while I'm preparing food in the kitchen, and overeating on cheese... one ounce is such a small amount and I hate spending my allotment for the day on just cheese!

    This is one of my worst habit too. Also, the weekends, I don't stick with my plan very well on Saturdays.

    Definitely beer. If I quit drinking it I know I'd meet my goal relatively quickly. But in a season of hot weather and backyard barbecues it is really tough to avoid tipping back a cold one.

    Distracted eating (whether because I'm doing something like browsing my phone, reading, or worried about something) which leads to eating past the point of fullness because I'm not checking in with my satiety levels.

    I could eat a whole friggin pizza after a bottle of wine, something I could easily get away with when I was marathon training...not so much when I spent my whole day at a desk and then on the couch.

    Stroopwafels or in english treacle waffle, when i eat one i want another and another...but one is 180kcal so its not really a healthy snack. Sometimes i fit one in my day but its really difficult to quit after one.
    o and having a glass of wine with my friends, almost everytime its leads to another and another.

    In the past it was because i didnt want to waste anything so i eat the leftovers. But i have been able to quit that habit.

    Snacking on the couch at night. Any mindless eating activity. It's been 4 years since I started improving my diet and changing my lifestyle but I still struggle with both.

    The awful combination of eating too much and moving too little.

    Yup...this coupled with the Untappd app have slowed my athletic progress, but what a way to go!

    Untappd is the bomb-diggity.

    Logged my 300th (and 303rd) distinct beer last night.

    Yeah, that too - I have 410 distinct...504 check ins. I think I may have a problem!

    Eating too much. I don't have that cue in my head that says "stop when you're full", not "stop when you feel like you're gonna die".

    Cheez-its are my weakness too. That's probably why we don't have them in the house.

    Not planning and then going for the easiest or tastiest thing in the vicinity. This morning I realized I had nothing for lunch so I stopped at McDonald's and had two burritos and a egg cheese mcmuffin. Granted now I'm stuffed and no longer want lunch but I could have just as easily stopped at subway but I started thinking about those sausage burritos!

    Cheat days every Wednesday and Friday. Wednesday its a take-away pizza. Fridays its usually a Falafel shwarma.
    Daily bread is one of my more expensive (calorie wise) food items.
    Anything sweet or salty that I can hide in my office draw...
