What's the biggest thing stopping you from losing weight.

[helensmith02]

I'm interested to know what others have struggled with - because it can be so tough sometimes - has anyone used any good products that can help?

Thanks

Yummy food

Food addiction/ mental dependancy on food.

I love food. Chocolate, cake, sweets, roast dinners, stews with dumplings, puddings with custard. It’s all too good and life is too short.

ADHD - binge eating/stimulus craving

Wine

My stomach.

Food is nice mainly

I have never considered this before, but the main thing is me...the choices I make every day and lack of commitment to myself

Apathy and bereavement. Lost 10 stone and have put 4 back on in last two years. Am.having more pain now so need to sort it.good luck everyone.

Lipoedema. Gluten intolerance. Obesegenic culture.

Greed and lack of will power. It really is, for me.

Also not being busy. I lack accountability to anyone else for my time. Few deadlines etc, so too much time to be thinking of the ice cream in the fridge etc.

I need to Keep Busy, away from the fridge, and Not Buy The Stuff in the first place.

Can't motivate myself to exercise. Also like crisps too much.

Wine and takeaways

Having to cater for others as well as myself. It would be much easier to buy and prepare healthy stuff I like for meals if I only had to consider my own eating habits and tastes. Having to cook and cater for DH and the DC definitely does not help.

Lack of commitment to self is important for me, too.

I do need to cut down a lot on both sugar and cheese to address a bit of a cholesterol issue. Properly nurturing myself is not having a mini Magnum for a bit of a treat. (Mini because I thought it was better than buying full size....you know the story...only small, have another one...)

Frankly the amount of shit I’m dealing with at the moment. I cannot add one more thing to have to think about, so I don’t.

Antidepressants

No body else in the house wants to eat brown rice or pasta, and I’m not using two rings to cook the same thing, so I eat white.

Good: snacks mainly. Sugar addiction. Like to drink socially but once I've had some alcohol I eat even more rubbish than normal. No willpower.

Booze. If I don't drink, I eat well. A few glasses of wine and the next day I'm troughing for England.

ADHD / constant snacking. Luckily exercise is my longstanding hyperfixation otherwise I'd have a problem.

The fact that I love food - simple as. I probably need to lose a stone which is not much I know, but getting it off the last time was not fun.

Complete lack of self-discipline and menopausal addiction to sugar.

Mindset. I'm currently using food/drink as a weapon against myself and I'm unsure (unwilling) to change 😕

I like food too much. I don’t enjoy exercise, apart from walking which I do try and do more of. I don’t really care what I look like so not motivated that way. My health is bad through multiple chronic autoimmune issues anyway so being thin or fat doesn’t really make any difference.
