I wanted to know, what is everybody's biggest food challenge?
Last week, I was keeping track of my calories to see where most of them go, and to my surprise, I discovered that a HUGE number were going towards beverages: Soda, iced tea, juice and milk. (I .love milk - I guess I will never have to worry about osteoperosis - lol) We're talking hundreds of calories here. I guess I must get really thirsty during the day.
So for me, it would have to be beverages. I am going to replace most of them with water, and my beloved whole milk with skim (this'll be hard because I would drink heavy cream if I could - I know: Gross!).
What about you?
PS - It would have been chocolate, but there is just no way I could possibly cut chocolate. How would I live?!

The triple threat: Chocolate, cheese and butter.

Soda - I have to give up my Diet Coke habit, but I am SO addicted
Water - I just can't motivate myself to drink it when I'm not working out. I know I have to, but SO HARD.
Snacking - I LOVE snacks - pretty much every chip, popcorn, chocolate, ice cream, cookie, cake ever invented I LOVE - I know I can't eliminate these snacks totally, but I am trying to restrict ALOT. I've been doing good the last week or so, so hopefully I can keep it up.

I can take or leave most things - luckily I LOVE water!!! But, here are some pitfalls...
movie popcorn - I can eat the hugest bucket of it all by myself... but I don't like that slimy topping they put on - ick...
Corn chips - just the blue corn chips - no other kind....

cookies and sweets. I just cant f-ing live w/o them and it kills me. So.... i substitute by eating natural PB on rice cake or on ONE reduced fat Chips Ahoy cookie or I will have a small scoop of lowfat icecream or if i am still craving after that- i make French Vanilla tea and that usually satisfies me bc its sweet and filling

Re: What is your biggest weight-loss food challenge?
On my own, I'm okay for the most part, but I have trouble resisting rich foods and desserts served at restaurants or special events. A splurge is okay now and then, but I've been doing it too much lately.
Same for sweets/muffins, etc. served at meetings. It's a shame fruit isn't cheaper and easier to serve--I think more people would offer it at meetings if it was.

Re: What is your biggest weight-loss food challenge?
My biggest issue is definitely snacking after I get home from work/after dinner. I eat so many empty calories during that time and I probably would've lost alot more by now if I got that under control.
My other issue is portion control. Blah

Starbucks, fast-food, and the fries that the deli in my building makes! I can smell them from my desk and they are just perfect! I've never found another place that makes their fries to such a perfect combo of crisp outside and soft inside! mmmmmmmm
