A huge problem for me is just motivating myself to get going. Once I get started I'm fine but getting out there and doing it is the hard part.

Also the chocolate.

my weakness is actually remembering to eat snacks in between meals. i get busy doing something and forget to eat a snack, by then it's lunch time, so i eat my snack then and push my lunch back and pray i don't get busy again and forget about it. that's a neverending process for me...i should start setting an alarm so i know it's time to eat.

My biggest challenge is you know, resisting urges and actually exercising. :\

mine's breaking the cycle of a lifetime.
over-eating.. then doing well for a few days.. then binging and so on.
I lose a few lbs.. then gain them back.
for me, it's always been ''tomorrow will be a fresh start'' or ''tomorrow is THE day''.. it was almost like I lived for tomorrow but tomorrow never came.
I'm doing okay now.. I take each day as it comes and if I make a mistake then so be it. i put it behind me straight away. but it's very early days. i just hope it gets easier!

Mine is that I really don't want to do it.

Sure I want to be thinner and I want to be healthy and live a long time. I want to live the benefits of being healthy, I don't want to try and get there. I can exercise, I don't have problems exercising even at my weight exercise has never been the issue for me.

I don't want to have to control my eating like I do. I want to be able to eat anything I want (and A LOT of it!), whenever I want and be able to be healthy which isn't the case for anyone.

I'm holding onto the hope that once I get used to eating less that I won't feel so terribly about it all. I think I need to find something to replace my addiction to food with.

A couple things for me:

1. Eating out. I love to dine out and the food isn't always the best but I try to stay on track cutting back on my portions.

2. Not eating when I'm bored!! I'm like to munch.

seems like im not hungry.. but once i have a snack.. then im Starving!!

Hi All!

I'm new to this site and I totally relate with you all I have been struggling with myself to excercise again and control my binge eating for so long now that I lost hope in finding that motivation again but after I read your posts I have enough motivation and this time I feel that i'm going to succeed anyone care to join? we can do this together

This is me exactly. I finally started to focus on living a normal life, and have realized that slow weight loss is so much better in the long run. I'm so much happier than I ever was trying to lose all the weight as fast as possible. Why I didn't do it this way from the beginning, I have no idea.

Portion control and eating when I'm not hungry.
