    My budget. I eat a whole lot more when I workout, and I get really frustrated trying to have the right foods available at all times!

    Weekends. I love to eat at pubs and drink beer and then go to Mcdonalds for a hangover breakfast (and usually a midnight snack too!!)
    If there was no weekend, I would be skinny.

    Oh I hear you! I call them "Gym Worms" (cause if you get stomach worms they eat away at your insides and you constantly feel hungry...) LOL

    But yes, I need to constantly have the right types of food around otherwise I can just go nuts eating everything in sight somedays after working out in the morning!

    How much I miss candy, particulary Swedish Fish. People tell me I can still have some so long as I measure out my servings, but when it comes to my favorite candies, the whole box feels like a serving to me. lol

    My schedule. Doesn't lend itself to eating right and I tend to eat too late.

    my habit of reverting to an oh F&%K it attitude when I make a tiny slip... generally causes me to go months repeating "I'll restart tomorrow, I'll restart Monday, For SURE I'm restarting Wednesday" always followed up with "but since I've already blown it for today..."

    usually results in ice cream, cupcakes, pizza, candy blah blah blah. badness!!!

    I think for me is would be that I'm surrounded every day with people eating junk food. Sometimes I do just want to say "yeah i'll have a soda/fast food." Then I watch them eat, and I get happy with my meal. Also understanding what that food does to my body really helps lol.

    Usually I cave when I haven't had enough sleep - then I eat to stay awake and it all goes wrong from there :( I have a 1.5 year old who dictates just how much rest I get (or don't get) .
