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 =/

    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. :smile:

    Also, boredom eating -- I know you just said one :)

    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!! :(

    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.

    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.

    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. :/

    And yes, talking about it is kinda therapeutic. :)

    Eating when I'm supposed to be sleeping.. At 3 in the morning everything is tasty.

    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!

    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!

    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!! Hahaha

    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*

    Aaah.. well what do you snack on? Could you maybe start with trying to swap the snacks for something better?
