    My family's eating habits. (It's too rude to not eat with them or to bring my own stuff!)

    Depression/Anxiety (too depressed to cook, too anxious to exercise in front of anyone)

    Being too depressed to go to the store and ending up having fast food. D:

    Stress- It puts me off my game and causes sleep issues...being tired just makes me eat bad and not excercise.

    TOM- cravings, boob tenderness (I have to double up on sports bras during this time), and hormones...ick.

    Salty foods- chips, pickles, fries, nuts...ect...I'll eat so much that I bloat no matter how much water I consume.

    1: No motivation, and finiding excuses not to eat healthy or work out.
    2: Junk food, around my boyfriends house, and not mine
    3:Boredom, and eating.


    I want to add a fourth becus I know my biggest issue is finding an excuse for everything: instead of doing it!

    1. Pasta: Italian food is my FAVORITE and the worst part is I love creamy alfredo type pasta dishes and the calories add up.

    2. Liquor: I'm in college so I obviously drink often and my favorite drink when I'm with friends is Captain and Monster Energy Drinks. I usually use one can for two drinks but that means about 320 calories after only two drinks (and who stops at 2? lol)

    3. Queso Dip: All time favorite snack of ALL time.

    1) Soda - I can't drink diet because fake sweeteners make me ill.
    2) Coffee with lots of milk and sugar.
    3) Chocolate Milk. I can drink a ton of it if I'm not careful.
    1. Stress
    2. Chocolate/Cheez Its - come on, they're equally bad!(once I get a little taste, I can't stop thinking about it!)
    3. Wine

    I just found a recipe for homemade Cheez-its last night. And I will be making them. So bad.

    PASTA: AHHH. I am absolutely in love with every type of Italian food and they are so carb/diary HEAVY!!


    My three are probably

    1) eating out - i eat out a LOT and everytime i eat out i always feel the need to have a really really enjoyable meal (read: calorific) and a desert (cause... i like desert.)

    2) baking - i bake for the family and i generally don't eat my creations - but i eat the mix before it goes in the oven LOL

    3) potatoes - bloody northern irish parents and their bloody potato dinners. i am not a fan of potatoes but my mother ALWAYS cooks them so when i get lazy i just eat parts of what they eat which normally means poatoes...

    Oh I have a fourth ;)

    Milk! I love Milk. I don't drink fizzy drinks (like rarely-never don't drink them. I sometimes CRAVE a sip!) so Milk has always been my main source of liquid. AHH.

    Well, not to be a follower, but I will jump on the STRESS wagon with you all.

    Plus, wine. And snacking after dinner. I can be really great at watching my portions at dinner, and then I'll be hungry in 2 hours and want a snack. Inevitably it will be ice cream.

    I can't have my husband watch me work out either. He just can't help 'coaching'. If I wanted 'help' lifting, I'd get him to lift it. Makes me want to throw dumbbells at him. It raises my blood pressure and, quite frankly, ruins it for me. I know. I'm a baby.
    Top Three:
    1) hubby watching me work out with that "isn't that cute" look on his face

    UGH! I know how ya feel. Ggggggrrrrrr
