GREAT TOPIC!¡
Well I have hypothyroidism which causes slow metabolism and weight gain! But thats not all to blame! I got pregnant and gained 60 pounds due to pop, pizza, and stress. After the pregnancy I felt as though all never be fit. And accepted the fact that I would be fat for the rest of my life, so I got lazy and enjoyed all kinds of foods. Now I'm realizing this is not how I want to spend the rest of my life. Tired, weak, out of breath, and uncomfortable with my belly. I want to enjoy the skin im in, wear lingerie for my husband and have fun having sex with him lol.0 -
eating late. in the past i worked overnight, and would eat and fall to sleep. now I'm off the night shift and i try to stop eating before 7:00. I did say try didn't i

Quitting smoking and sheer boredom. Food never excited me. prefer alcohol and clothes.0

chinese food in general.0

alcohol...not in an alcoholic way...but in the way that I litterally can FEEL my hands (and body) blow up the second I drink the stuff...If i drink even 2 drinks I will gain 3 lbs!! I know its water retention...but still frustrating!
So weird. I lost weight when I drank. I stopped drinking and didnt lose a pound from it.0 -
It crawled inside me and grew for 9 months. I still have it. The exorcism didnt work.
Sweetie you only had 30 pounds to lose I have 80 pounds and 50 pounds is due to my lil demon, only I wouldn't call him that, I'd call him my little angel! You have a beautiful baby boy.0 -
Potatoes... didn't matter if they were fried, baked, mashed, au grautin, whatever! That's why I had to go cold turkey in December. Now I onlly eat white potatoes if I'm on vacation (which is typically 3-4 times a year). I think I'm physically incapable of eating them in moderation. I'm like a drug addict it's sickening, really!0

Like many people, I've had, and still have multiple demons. Luckily I have them more under control these days.
I'd say that my worst were 1) portion control 2) late eating after games (played or watched) and 3) the choices made for those after game feedings...beer, fries, wings.0 -
The Chili's menu, The Cheesecake Factory menu, the Olive Garden menu, Potbelly's, Taco Bell, and any other restaurant that has a menu! and of course my favorite restaurant HOME...My husband is a great cook, and since we are both changing the way we eat and look at food, he's been trying different ways to lower the caloric intake and decrease the sodium.0

Oh I have a bunch but I would say my number battle is going to be with emotional eating. I tend to overeat terribly if I am stressed worried, or just not in a good mood.0
-
Not food. The feeling that "I'm not good enough."
Once I exorcised that demon, everything else fell into place.0 -
Fast food and laziness and self loathing.....:frown:0

Stress and eating out. My love likes to eat out and it feels like every meal. I had t really learn how to plan.0

just junk in general, bad carbs, empty calories etc. it wasnt just one thing, it was all things with no moderation at all.0

Doritos and second servings0

Being Lazy/Lack of exercise although my food choices haven't helped if I had exercised I wouldn't be nearly as bad off as I am today.0

Yup... I can relate to this... *deep sigh* Note, that I'm now single and 17 lbs lighter... smh0 -
pasta and bread with butter and cheese...
and chocolate, and cookies, and (weirdly) trail mix.
measuring, portions, and MFP calorie "sticker shock" have helped, though0 -

Mindness eating combined with two pregnancies. As I've gotten older, my metabolism has slowed but my calorie consumption hasn't. I'm not young enough to sit down with a tub of ice cream and a spoon while I watch trash tv late at night...0
