We all have our vices. Most of us probably have the same ones, let's see what they are. Wether they be food, family or feelings.
1. I can't have pickles in my house. I will eat the whole jar in one sitting. No calories, but oh man the sodium!
2. My husband. God bless him, I still can't work out infront of him. I have to do my 30 day shred when he's at work. Otherwise I feel like I'm being judged.
3. Oreos!!! Back in the day... When I used to have "munchies" this was my downfall. Don't do that anymore, but I can still put away quite a few and a tall glass of milk to go with.

1) Not packing my lunch - we have a mall style food court in my building at work, I always eat too much
2) Not working out right away in the morning - If I don't do it first thing, it usually doesn't get done
3) Alcohol - I love to go and drink with my friends, but the calories do add up!0 -
kids doing a flipping sponsored swim in an adult only session!
Yes I'm mad, my exercise which I try bloody hard to keep at has been interrupted by kids!
The rest is wine and steak!0 -

2) Potato chips
3) Working full time and going to school full time.0 -

stress - when I get stressed out I turn to food.0 -
1. My husband when he wants to eat out, he always wants to make it a three course meal!
2. Not being able to stay on my schedual
3. Coke, I love it. I know it is terrible, I know I should give it up, but I just can't bringing myself to do it. I can limit myself, but I just am not ready to give it up. ( I mean the soda fyi, :laugh: )0 -
I know what you mean about working out in front your husband, as my much as I love my guy I can not workout when his around... I just feel odd

2. Beer.
3. Carbs. (Perfect meal for me would be mashed potatoes, bread, noodles and rice!)0 -
1) Stress (even though working out can make you feel better after a bad day at work, sometimes you're just beat)
2) House/garden chores (yeah, I dont count these as burning calories, and sometimes doing these things tire me out)
3) ICE CREAM (seriously, who can resist it in the summer??)0 -
1. Lunch meetings
2. Cookies
3. Family events0 -
1) working at a restaurant - too much ice cream that i can't resist
2) family's eating habits, although they try to support me the best they can
3) alcohol! especially in the summertime0 -
Ice cream, chocolate, and potato chips. They are evil.0

My mum having junk food in the house--GRR!
Alabama heat...it's always too hot to take the puppy for a walk, no matter what time it is

3-STRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
1. long hours at work
2. pretzel crisps/ pop chips/ any other carby crappy snack you can't stop eating till the bag is done
3. my manager bringing in bags of peanut m&ms, pretzels, twizzlers for the team....you just find yourself reaching for it all day long b/c of sheer boredom0 -
1. Stress
2. Eating out
3. The weekend0 -
1. Chocolate, candy, cookies, cake, pie... anything sweet and delicious, especially if it is chocolatey too!
2. Hanging out with my family... Whether I go to my mom's or go to my dad's, I end up eating way too much food because it's so delicious! Plus they encourage me to stay late, go out with them, etc. so it soaks up gym time.
3. Anything that disrupts my routine. Like tonight I am going to see the re-release of LotR: Return of the King, which takes like 4.5 hours out of my day for the movie alone, not to mention driving to the theater, getting there early to get a good seat, etc. So no gym, no real dinner, and my sleep will be messed up too! It's a fun disruption but it does throw things out of whack.0 -
Any kind of sugar - love it
French fries
milky coffee drinks - soy lattes (yum!!)0 -
1. Boredom (thus it's crucial for me to keep only healthy snacks in the house, like fruit and veggies, and not cookies)
2. TOM (I think I use it as an excuse to eat whatever and not workout)
3. Free food (put a candy bowl in the breakroom, I'm going to check it out)0 -
Alcohol
Ice Cream
Bread.0 -
1) TOM
2) Carbohydrates. I literally MISS them.
3) Special Occasions. My entire family celebrates with food. I either have to have extreme willpower or exclude myself. I don't like to do either LOL0 -
1. Lack of sleep
2. self doubt
3. bread0 -
1. Cheese
2. Wine
3. Stress

2. Any thing that has chocolate and zero peanuts
3. Being bored or sleepy0 -
Sodium!!!!! Why oh why is it in everything???? So frustrating!!!!
Beer - I limit my drinking to Friday nights only and I try to leave myself enough calories to do so and get in a good workout!
French Fries, Potato Chips - Those are my enemy, but I love them!!!! Only once in a while though0 -
