Those who feel they are overweight...

and wish to lose...

What do you feel the biggest challenges are in your battle to lose? Is it what you eat? (What exactly are you eating or not eating?) Is it how much you eat? (How much are you eating? ) Is it lack of motivation to exercise?

I have a combination (which I think is fairly normal)
I gained so much weight since the wedding, that it seems like it's going to take soooo long to get rid of it.
I also have no motivation to exercise (nor a desire)
And I LOVE food....
I'm a mess

I just posted about this on another thread.
My biggest problem is exercise. I definitley dont get enough (although I rarely sit down @ work, I chase 2 year olds all day) but after work rather than coming on here..LOL, or watching TV I should be out doing something.
I also have a very bad sweet tooth!
Once again, my motivation to exercise is low..when it get nice out, I will be out there!!

I seriously think it's a combination of things:

I don't eat well, never did, probably never will.

Time management in my life is an unobtainable goal. Between the two jobs, the house, the baby and school, there is literally no time to eat a balanced meal, unless someone could invent a feedbag for humans. I have to zip through every meal because there's not enough hours in the day. Which brings me to my other issue, no time for exercise. Sure, everyone says 'Oh go take a walk with the baby'. Easier said than done when I get home at 9:00 or 10:00 at night and all I want to do is collapse from running nonstop from 6:30 in the morning on.

I often deal with depression which can factor in greatly too.

My life in a nutshell

I don't think I'm overweight, but I think I'm on the edge and would definitely like to lose a few pounds.

Exercise is the killer for me. One of my greatest skills is finding excuses not to!

Same here... PLUS I eat when I'm bored/depressed (which happens to be often)

my biggest challenge is snacks. I eat a decent healthy breakfast lunch and dinner and I drink water all day.....but I tend to have snack cravings

i stopped exercising and gained 20 pounds since the wedding

on that note, i am off for a walk!

i would say also motivation! i rather come on here and in my apartment complex the gym is free to us so i really should start taking advantage of it. i will start slowly but its hard. and i also have a sweet tooth for chocolate uh oh did I say the C word!

It is what i eat...since i am very picky and hate healthy food
and
i need to exercise more
