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.
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.0 -
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.0 -
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.0

The awful combination of eating too much and moving too little.0

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!

Yes! Me too!0 -
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".0

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
Cheez-its are my weakness too. That's probably why we don't have them in the house.0 -
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!0

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...0 -

Yep. This can be me and my dad if we don't eat in the morning on our way to work.0 -
Not eating dinner and grazing all night.0

Late to the party on this one - discovered this at a Navy reunion a few weeks back and only on my 30th distinct beer. Can't believe how up to date they are on all the crafts.
Was rather surprised that I got a comment from a brewery after pulling a no longer in production barley wine from my cellar.0 -
that extra shot of tequila...0

Believe this falls under "Medicinal purposes", so its ok.0 -
skipping breakfast will not affect your weight loss. i have actually trained myself to skip breakie, and run fasted every morning now. been doing it now for about 3 months and i love it. it helps me stick to my calorie goals.
re: my worst habit - my f'ing sweet tooth. it's a damn *kitten*. ice cream, donuts, cookies, pastries. it's a love/hate relationship. i'm working on training it to accept moderation, but it's been tough. c'est la vie.
i also tend to get a little crazy with my eating when drunk. but, i love a good buzz too and am not willing to forgo that every now and then.0 -
Definitely eating too fast. No matter how much I try, I cant seem to eat at a normal pace!0

I guess it depends on the person. I've been doing that for years and I noticed that when I did that combined with just drinking coffee, I ended up hungrier.0 -

It really does depend on the person. If it were me, not only would skipping breakfast make me binge on all manner and quantity of food, it'd also turn me into a Hangry Rage Monster. I can't function like a normal civilized human without some food within the first two hours of being awake.0 -

Hahahaha a Hangry Rage Monster! Lol that's funny! But yeah. I can't function without something in my stomach first thing in the morning. Otherwise I can't think clearly and I'll I'm thinking about is food.0 -

Night time gluttony. I will do a great job all day, then once 8/9pm rolls around I always get the kitchen itch!0

Tasting while I'm cooking--I try to avoid cooking when I'm famished or have some green tea/water beforehand so my stomach feels full.
Compelled to be a plate-cleaner--at restaurants I usually as for a to-go box right away and put half of my meal away. At home I take small portions and I make my son (he's 14) scrape his own plate into the trash if he doesn't finish.
Eating while at my desk instead of taking a proper lunch break--this one isn't horrible as I prelog/prepack my meals so I don't unintentionally eat too much, but sometimes I work through lunch/don't practice mindful eating and then I'm still hungry afterwards.0 -
Beer.... I really like beer... and then I really like to eat : (0

Eating too much processed food. Because it's quick and easy. I'm working on changing that now.0

Yep. I'm trying to cut it too, or at least get healthier versions of it.0
