Hi,
I know a little bit about weight loss and issues people often have around weight loss, which has helped me to understand that the issue is often not a one size fits all solution.

I.e some people have cravings for chocolate, others have no interest in healthy foods, while others have not desire, motivation or simply time for exercise. What I would really like to hear is what people find there most difficult issue that stops them from being the weight that they would like to be?

Thanks, and good to be a part of the community
 
I would say that my biggest issues are

  • food control when stress increases
  • food control when I am feeling ill
  • peer pressure when with big people - particularly when I am either feeling stressed, unwell or feel that there is something to celebrate... ( I sometimes manage to cope with things like stress / ill - but it gets harder with peer pressure)...
 
- I hate vegetables, and can barely tolerate most fruit. If I eat either, I'm forcing myself to, and don't enjoy it at all. I tried countless times, but I just can't stand it.

- I go from one extreme to the next - either eating too much, or not enough, and even not eating at all if I don't feel like it.

- Chronic pain making it difficult for me to move sometimes, let alone exercise.

That's pretty much the biggest problems for me.
 
I hate vege's with the exception of potatoes and a few others. (I can do salads so I try and focus on making these)

I only like a select range of fruits

I'm a fussy eater

I can't enjoy one biscuit or one piece of chocolate, I feel like I need / have to eat the whole packet or 200 gm bar. Almost like I will never get a chance to taste it again.

Pasta or rice needs a creamy or cheesy sauce

I crave sugar

As from whre this comes from, I'm still trying to figure this out.
It definitly all started when I was 20 and had a very controlling partner (stayed with him one year) he would cook fatty meals but tell me off for having a chocolate. I ate secretly to prove to myself I could do as I wished and I was in control of my life :eek:
Im now 32 and while this is no longer an issue as my hubby is nothing like this and I don't feel like I have no control on my own life... Maybe it was just a habit from that experience that kept going as a way of life?
I think that's why I overheat during pregnancy also as I feel restricted and need to prove I can do as I wish?
I really don't know as it all seems illogical and I try to anylise it very so often to figure it out
