Like several people have already said, craft beer is my weakness. I've done a dry two weeks and lost 10 pounds, so that's good motivation. I don't really fight it, I've just decided that if I'm going to imbibe, it'll be a small amount or a very good craft beer. Doing this, I'm losing weight, saving money, and drinking better beer.

For me, I think it's a vicious cycle of snacking and perfectionism. Logging calories helps, but sometimes I get stuck on things not being accurate.... Like having food cooked for you and not knowing what's in it precisely. Then I give up and return to snacking / not caring. I also don't like being a calorie-counting maniac.

I guess it's about making a good estimate and logging it.. And that will help with the not snacking.

Weakness, everything. Once I start, I can't stop. How I fight it. I'll have my regular meal if it's close to meal time. Have a protein shake if meal time is a while away, have a glass of water. If I feel like a late snack, I have a tablespoon of peanut butter. I would include the spoonful of peanut butter into my macros.

For me it is finding the time to cook and to eat enough. I spend more time making sure my son has healthy meals that by the time I realize I need to eat I just end up throwing together something quick or easy without regard for nutrition. I do my best but I'd like to get my Ish together and meal prep properly.

Late nighr snacks in bed right before sleep. I try to be cognizant of the time I'm eating and avoid it but man I like going to bed feeling full lol

My weakness is bulk salt water taffee at the supermarket. That and my grocery store has a bakery with fresh doughnuts. I tell myself if I walk away I can have a good beer later. I guess I have a problem with foods I could eat on the way home from the store. If it never makes it to the kitchen it doesn't count, right?

Craft beer for me. I live in a suburb of Portland, OR. So it's everywhere. Trying to switch to moderate light beer instead of complete abstinence.

I have the same prob...living in Chicago doesn't make it any easier! Haha
I switched over to vodka only, recently, but I make sure to treat myself with 1 or 2 craft brews each week so I don't feel as deprived.

My two biggest dietary struggles right now are the always tasty Taco Bell, and the wine and craft beers. I've been diverting my eyes when passing Taco Bells but ideally I'd like to just know its crap and I really don't want/need it. Craft beers and wine are a little bit harder to give up. I see I'm not the only one with this problem. One, it is so delicious. Two, my favorite place reminds me of Cheers or something. (You know, where everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came and so on.) I've been trying to be good and only go out a few times a week and drink one bottle of water per beer. And perhaps, just maybe, dinners do not require wine. I've been takeing it one day and one foot at a time. Good luck to all of us. Oh, and CHEERS!!!

My two biggest weaknesses are stopping for treats in the morning between kid drop off and work and staying away from a well stocked soda fridge at work. I've been trying to do smoothies for breakfast so I already have something tasty in the car in the morning. I've also switched to coffee and unsweetened iced tea at work, which is at least better from a calories standpoint.

My weakness is fast food! It's an emotional thing for me; whenever i feel sad i just go out and get a burger and the minute that fat and sugar hits my tongue it's bliss and i feel better. Since I commute to school as well (Go GSU Panthers!!) it's too easy to just grab Wendy's instead of taking lunch with me. So i've decided to plan my meals every week and take lunch with me and stuff like that. Cheaper and healthier!

Booze just in general. Beer, wine, whiskey, rum it doesn't matter. I don't drink a ton but I drink at least one or two of those every day. I have been cutting back on the nights that I allow myself to have more than one drink. That's helped because I'm not cutting it completely out.

Ice cream! I love Haagen Dazs.. I make a point if not keeping it in the house. Then, if I want it, I have to walk to the grocery store and buy a single serve portion. I get a cappuccino gelato about 1/2 cup (118 ml) , delicious and only 250 calories.

Beer and cheese. The Wisconsin stereotype is real.

Glad I'm not the only one for whom booze is the biggest hurdle! God I just love cocktails. I love to make them, I love to go to swanky cocktail bars, I love them. Not all day or every day of course, but yeah. Oh and wine. God I just love wine. LOL I know I do sound like a giant alco. I'm really not, it's just that these are my Achilles Heel.

Sugar: candy, donuts and ice cream.
