When I don't go shopping when in fact I need to. I start to freestyle with meals and it can get out of hand.0

Pizza, Chinese takeaway, wine, skittles, French bread & butter... so far I still track it all, even when it's depressing to look at all that red...

I pick throughout the day rather than eating an actual meal0

I went back to college part-time several years ago, which is a lot with a job. I get into study/writing papers mode for hours and just want to get through it and don't care what I eat as long as I get the work done.
I have to watch that destructive attitude and plan snacks ahead, a piece of fruit, some almonds, sugarless gum, and coffee work for me.0 -
Pasta! I love it so much. And a single serving is so depressing...1

Mine is definitely fast food.0

Life stress which usually ends up with me eating fast food and just letting my diet in general go to pot. I've been developing better coping skills so that I don't let life get me down so easily.0

Pizza, Ice creams, burgers and butter chicken (indian dish).
I get weak when around any of these0 -
My biggest downfall is when I'm bored or I'm out at a family function and there is nothing healthy for me to eat. I'm a "pescatarian" so my family often forgets to include a healthy meatless item on the menu for me at gatherings and just assume I'll just fill up on chips and sweets, which I do0

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.
This is EXACTLY me! I could seriously eat desserts for breakfast, lunch and dinner.0 -
Sweets and eating them after 9pm! I have set that I will be drinking a chocolate protein shake (with water) tonight for my snack. Chocolate, sweet and cold...if I do it in the blender I can add ice and it will be like ice cream...or at least I hope!
Once I get in the habit of measuring and weighing stuff I am good with portion sizes. I just have to make sure I bring out the scale or the measuring cups!0 -
Beer watching Survivor, beer watching football, beer watching soccer... maybe if i got rid of the TV, I would be ok.

WINE & Snacking after dinner. It totally ruins my day because I make it a habit to be great all day long!0

Mines is snacking a lot when I'm bored. Unhealthy snacks at that. Also I have a hard time eating smaller portions or stop eating when I go out to eat or eat fast food. I end up eating until I am overly full. But as long as I cook at home I am fine.0

Historically, my biggest downfalls have been not eating vegetables followed by a lack of portion control.0

It's frustrating that I can have multiple slices of cake, a whole sleeve of cookies, or even an all out 3000 calorie meal and bounce right back next meal/day with relatively little effort, but as soon as I get lenient with nuts I'm back to combating daily tendencies to sneak in more of them and it takes at least a couple of weeks to retrain my discipline around them.
I really just have to give them up.
