I mentioned above that I stop tracking and holding myself accountable when I make bad choices. My BIGGEST downfalls are Pizza and Sweets and portion size.

Tell me yours!

    I have a problem with sweets and fast food. I just can't control myself and so I just don't keep them in the house and I work hard on the ability to drive past a fast food place.

    I have a problem with chips & sweets. We have a love/hate relationship. Right now there is cake in the fridge that is screaming my name, I haven't give in yet.

    Wine tasting parties - we do them often and I tend to over eat and drink.

    I've been at maintenance for about 14 and a half years now.

    Depending on the time...I'd say:
    Pizza
    nachos
    wine
    would be the three things that are challenging for me in terms of calories/diet compliance.
    The first two because, well, pizza and nachos. The last, because, well, useless calories galore.

    I am convinced that I am some kind of carb addict. Bread, cookies and cake are my kryptonite. I just can't seem to eat them in moderation.

    Portions for sure. I used to eat until I felt sick. As bad as it made me feel, I still get that urge, especially when I'm tired or anxious or bored. Now wine and takeout are my biggest calorie overages even while watching portions.

    Sweets. God I love sweets. And when I eat sweets it just makes me want to eat more sweets.

    Like, I keep thinking that when I go to maintenance I just want to add a slice of cake or a bowl of pudding to my day.

    Sugar and salt. More of a sweet tooth though. I have some delicious honey calling my name everyday in the cupboard. I don't think I've made it to my salt goal even one day so far. I don't even add the salt I add to food! I've been concentrating on my overall calories and I can't give up the salt just yet. The sugar keeps calling my name but I usually tell it to *kitten* off. Usually..

    Portion sizes. I can never have just one ice cream, just a few chips, just a row of chocolate. I'm the type of person that eats the entire packet. It's my biggest issue.

    Definitely pizza, so hard to resist ordering take out. Its my favorite food! Other thing that is a struggle is alcohol, those calories can quickly add up if you've had a couple drinks

    I can stay healthy for a few days but fall off the wagon and fall hard. I like salty foods and fast food, as well as ice cream. Because my will power is crap i definitely indulge in much more than I should
