For me : eating one bad food on a good day and just saying "well, I already messed it up... might as well just not try the rest of the day". I know this isn't good, but it's what I'm working on!
Anyone else have this problem? What's your weakness?

Nights are my weakness- I eat well all day, only until I'm satisfied... then night comes and all of that goes out the window. I eat crap until I'm beyond stuffed =/0

Lately it's the Halloween candy :sad:0

All or nothing thinking has really messed with me. I am learning to do the best I can for where I am in my journey.
Also, boredom eating -- I know you just said one 0 -
Night eating for sure

Yeah.. I'm sadly doing it now. And realizing that I shouldn't, especially since the scale this morning was the lowest it's been in a while.. So much for that!! 0 -

My weakness is arriving home from work and eating a snack and another snack, I have eaten my dinner. Overall I am trying to maintain my calorie 1,200 this week was a tremendous challenge due to work stress.0

Same!! And it seems like it's been a lot more common for me lately. Like i'll do really good a few days or a week and then just go off the handle for a day or two! Like cheating on a cheat day.0 -
For me I think it's self sabotage. If I hit my next goal weight, I'm "committed" to hitting the pool to train for the swim part of a triathlon. But I hate being shirtless in public. So maybe I'll just make sure I never hit that goal.Same!! And it seems like it's been a lot more common for me lately.

And yes, talking about it is kinda therapeutic. 0 -
Eating when I'm supposed to be sleeping.. At 3 in the morning everything is tasty.0

Hey that's me... I messed it up. Who cares, right? Wrong...every day should be better to get to my goal!!! Weekends are better since hubby is hard core on me!0 -
Exercising. It's weird. Two years ago I was working out with a trainer and four other women three times a week and having trouble committing to eating right so I was strong but not losing weight. I stopped going after losing my mom in-law and my own mom within six months of each other. Now I'm losing weight and can't seem to get motivated to exercise. I even moved my awesome treadmill into the family room. It would be nice if I could be eating healthy AND exercising at the same time!0

That's good you have a little support though! My bf will help and tell me to stop, but I usually just yell at him and keep eating. I swear I feel like an eating monster!! Hahaha0 -
It's awful!! I have kidney/bladder problems so I wake up a lot to pee and somehow a long time ago I formed a night eating habit. I get up and I immediately want a snack of some sort. It's so hard to break! I'll go weeks doing really well and then all of a sudden I'll go back to my horrible ways I have a feeling that if I could just sleep through the damn night it would go away *sigh* 0

Aaah.. well what do you snack on? Could you maybe start with trying to swap the snacks for something better?0 -
Think about how amazing your body will look if you exercise and lose the weight at the same time! All of that exercise you're missing out on will help firm and tighten your skin. Get with it...you'll be so happy you did!!
Ooops, that was supposed to be a reply to the poster who was having a hard time finding motivation to exercise.0 -

I definitely could. If I switched to fruit or veggies I'd be waayyy better off than my go to peanut butter or protein bars (did I just admit that!?). I sense a new challenge coming on...0 -
Yes! Maybe try and pre-measure things out for yourself. Maybe bag up some baby carrots, cut an apple in half, etc..It's awful!!

It is the weirdest thing.....since drinking green smoothies I have no cravings, no desire to eat at night nothing.,...Even with all the Halloween candy nothing...I don't crave salt anymore, my sodium is way down. I don't crave sugar at all...pop none, I even gave up tim hortons steeped tea's and they played a big role in weight gain...I am not complaining because it is cool...my hardest thing is my emotions..I feel like I am cleansing this fat girl....no I don't feel like I want to beat her up anymore....I feel like it is okay for her to let it go....
I think my hardest thing is weighing myself too much....maybe...0 -
