Food. Gooood.
Exercise. Yuccck.

In my case, on top of loving food, I attend many potlucks, and eat foods that are hard to know the exact amount of calories, and it just is really hard to stay below 1400 calories. I can easily eat a 700 calorie lunch and be like ok what's for dessert.

Your self defeating thoughts.

Sometimes we believe that we deserve a treat and in reality we are just punishing our bodies and health with junk food.

It is helping me a lot to learn the different kinds of foods and their effect on the body.

I think is mostly the lack of real knowledge. There are many misconceptions and a lot of information out there is misleading which creates a very confusing environment for anybody that is trying to make any sense on how to lose weight. I include your mind, brain, thoughts, willpower here. When you learn and understand better what's going on you are able to work with your mind or brain in your favor. I think there is a real need to go back to basics.

Why time? You mean the time you need to get your groceries and to cook to have healthy and weight management friendly meals?

The biggest challenge, by far, is not gaining it back. (Spoken from experience)

Why did you gain the weight back? It is usually because you didn't learn enough while losing weight so you went back to the previous way of eating and exercising. Was that your case?
