My 2 current weaknesses:
 
Just recently began learning how to follow recipes and cooking videos on the You Tube web site. I enjoy learning to cook but sometimes I eat a bit much if no one else does as I don't like to waste food. :dizzy:

Also I crave chocolate during PMS, dark chocolate Raisinets are my favz. :mad::(

I fear that I am drinking so much water daily that I am also retaining water and this really scares me and so I have also began increasing my use of OTC water pills(Diurex type, :hug::p).

What a loaded question!!!

This wouldn't have been the same answer a year ago, and it would've been even more different 5 years ago - but right now, my biggest two weaknesses are:
  1. My knees. I was an athlete in school and tore the cartilage in my left knee on 3 occasions, starting at age 15 and going through age 26. At one point, I had no insurance and it was a bad tear, I couldn't bend or straighten it and it hurt with every step - that's when I gained a majority of my weight. It was almost a year and a half before I could have surgery and in turn, my right knee suffered since I limped on it for so long. I had 2 arthroscopic surgeries and went through rounds of steroid injections, joint fluid injections, rehab, drugs, etc. It ended that past December with total knee replacement (@ 43 years old!!). I am still healing that knee (sooooo slowwwww) and my right knee is still jacked up. I have to be very.very.very careful with exercise and activity.
  2. The unending heat wave in Charlotte. Seriously, this has to be the hottest summer EVER. I have lived here since 1995 and it has never been a picnic, but we've had so many days over 100 and we consider 93 a "cold snap" - all with 85-90% humidity, even though we are experiencing a major drought. I am absolutely convinced spontaneous combustion originated here. It is unrelenting this summer. Going outside makes me want to cry.
