Night time eating and binging due to stress, anxiety and /or boredom.
Two trigger foods:
bread
ice cream
My two weaknesses are laziness to cook home meals and wanting to eat when I'm bored. Trigger foods are cheese and pasta. Macaroni and cheese... no! I can't think about it! Lol
Foods I can't resist and weakness in my willpower.
FOOD - especially chocolate!
STRESS - leading to unplanned eating or headaches or sleeplessness...
My weaknesses are: addiction to sugar and flour (so I avoid it) as well as chronic daily migraines and anxiety about my son. My worst time of the day is at night. That's when I have the hardest time controlling myself. Also, I almost forgot to mention that I"m not a good sleeper and that also weakens me.
My two weaknesses that stall my attempt to lose weight and live a healthy active lifestyle are my mind and body. Mind: when I'm stressed to high levels of anxiety, I run for the wine bottle without a second thought (I should be running on the treadmill but the thought is too far gone by that point)...body: because of an illness I suffered 11 years ago and an accident last year, I'm very prone to injury and muscle pain and it stops me regularly from being active the way I want to be.
But I do make efforts at preventing those weaknesses from ruining my spirit and motivation.
My new answer is-
Sweets&Stress
I'm not a 40-something, but managing exercise time is a big difficulty, as is abstaining from cocktails.
My fience wants me to make desserts for him

I was born without the "I'm full" gene.
I can't leave snack food alone (alternate between savoury and sweet)
Today I am starting day 1 of the vegetarian GM diet. I figure if I can't be super strict with myself for only 7 days, there is something seriously wrong with my psyche.
Soda, soda, soda...
Chips
The only thing that has consistently screwed me up is my attitude. I can deal with any obstacle if my attitude is in check. Basically, I ask myself these days, "Do I want results or not?" If the answer is yes then I make a way and find a way. Easier said than done, but working my brain muscle makes the hard decisions less hard the next time around. So, bad attitude is my weakness.
1) Making time for myself.
2) Specialty coffee.
Only two? I'm lazy and I like to eat and drink. LOL

Emotional eating is a huge weakness for me. I am recently divorce and let me say that was a challenge. On the other hand, I was now in charge of the grocery shopping, and I just don't buy foods that I love for emotional eating.
Also, I pretty much hate exercise. It's getting better, but I'm not a fan.
