    When you get a sudden craving for a certain food, but if you eat it, it would put you over your calorie limit for the day.

    Or when you fit it into your day, eat it and it's not as great as you thought it'd be...

    RIGHT?!? I hate wasting the delicious points (calories) on non-delicious foods! :mad:

    Especially when it's something you used to love when you were younger or before you lost weight.

    I used to love a lot of the Little Debbie snacks when I was younger & even when I was morbidly obese, but totally not worth it anymore!

    Well unless it's a Swiss Roll, Nuddy Buddy, or Pumpkin Face.

    Makes it really hard to enjoy the weekly treats that get brought in for our weekly staff meetings. I usually ignore them except the random week when something from a really good local bakery is brought in. Totally blows everything for the day, but at least it's maybe once a month that it happens.

    I'm still partial to the zebra cakes

    @Noreenmarie1234 (geek alert) they're symbols of my house in The Ilvermorny challenge I'm currently in (Harry Potter world, sort of). The bottom right one means I'm in Horned Serpent, and earning points for said house by completing various challenges, meeting my calorie goal etc.

    Having to sacrifice my social life because alcohol has calories

    You can't have a social life without or wth less alcohol? Hmmm, guess I must be doing something wrong then ...

    I'm 27 and love to go out to bars and watch football with my friends. Sue me!

    I just hate that it’s never ending. I really enjoy working out, I’ve got that part down. I do NOT enjoy paying constant attention to what I eat in order to maintain my weight. It’s like I can never truly relax, constant vigilance.
    Pretty much!

    Sick of looking at numbers.

    Can’t wait to hit maintenance so I won’t have to be so strict.


    Spoiler alert, maintenance is almost just as hard, lol.

    Way to rain on my parade 😅😊

    Frankly I think maintenance is the hardest part - when I relax a bit I gain my weight back and have to start all over again

    So do I (only I go to watch rugby instead of football). I guess I'm lucky that my friends in general don't drink (a beer or a cocktail, sure, but rarely more). I never understood the need to get drunk to have fun.
