Mine are increasing water and decreasing sodium. I'm curious what others might struggle with?

Cutting back the sweets and fatty foods like pizza, cheeseburgers, fries1

Beer, wine and scotch. I know that's three but you get the idea.6

Cutting back on sugars and sweets and drinking more water2
-
Sugar, it's always refined sugar that takes me over my calorie limit. Gummy bears, chocolate, cookies, Nutella. I'm not terribly discerning when it comes to my sweet tooth.2
-
Resisting the urge to eat: 1.) out of boredom while at home and 2.) out with coworkers while at work.4
-
Staying away from dessert. I love cake! Also trying to stay in calorie range eat healthy when outside the home2

Increasing water intake and staying motivated to workout1

It's not much of a struggle any more. Even when I was trying to stay low on sodium, once I learned how, it was easy. The biggest sadness was that I had to avoid soy sauce. Now that I've returned to consuming sodium with abandon, I haven't even cared to add soy sauce to anything. For water, I drink coffee all morning and water all afternoon and evening. Once I count 8 cups I quit caring for precision.
I even got out in the hallway this afternoon and did quick laps for 30 minutes. I just wanted to go fast. There was a woman out there doing laps and talking on her phone. For each 1.2 of her laps, I was getting 2.2.2 -
Trusting the process and not wigging out with every scale fluctuation.
Mindless eating (but pre-logging has sorted this for me).2 -
1) Not eating when bored.
2) Medication-induced eating.2 -
I am my own biggest challenge2
-
Not eating all the foods. Because I still eat any of the foods I want to.1

Definitely cutting down on sweets (mainly chocolate and cakes) + not eating until I'm literally stuffed. It's always a rollercoaster for me as my moods (boredom, depression) can influence how I eat. Also fluctuations on the scale suck a lot.

Not eating food2

Reducing sodium, and sugar ... There is so much hidden in everything these days... If I can add a third, it would definitely be alcohol. I really need to reduce my drinking..1
-
Sugar I can keep low no problem, would love to hear about how to keep sodium down. That's a hurdle I've yet to conquer1
-
Time, patience, money, staying away from salty chips...oh wait, only two?1
-
(1.) Batch cooking!
(2.) Planned exercising!1 -
TIME! I'm away from the house 13 hours daily and have little time for anything. So I cook tub of eggs, tub o oatmeal, tub of greens and bean soup, a meatloaf and a salmon loaf on the weekends for dinner and breakfast and eat off of the salad bar at work. I still manage to get 30 miles of walking in a week though. I don't understand the water challenge though. Just drink it with your meals, right?1
