My weaknesses.. I'm only human.

Everybody has weaknesses. We are only human, after all.

Just in case any of you think that I am the perfect dieter that never slips up and exercises 5 times a week here's a post to show I'm not. I am far from that. I simply don't post my bad days on my blog very often because I want you all to be inspired to do well, not tempted to eat junk. I am just like all of you. I struggle constantly to beat off cravings and I do occasionally slip up and binge and overeat. I hardly exercise regularly and when I do, I keep it up for a week or 2 and then give up because I ache or I'm too tired.. I go out once every 1-2 weeks drinking with my friends and I always end up drunk by the end of the night. So please don't feel you're struggling on your own. I have been battling my weight since 2009, so I know it's really hard, and I still have bad weeks - more often than not nowadays. My weight yo-yo's back and forth each week. But I won't give up - my dream of being skinny/healthy is too great to give up over something so silly. If I have a bad meal/day/week, I sulk for a little, feel guilty and fat. And then I put it behind me. Tomorrow's a new day. I normally then go food shopping and buy all the veggies and fruits I possibly can, which kind of motivates me in a way.. And then start fresh. And when I slip up again, I just repeat this.

My biggest weaknesses are:
- fizzy drinks, mainly diet coke and low-cal monster energy drink - I know they're both really, really bad for you, but I can't help it! I may even be slightly addicted, if that's even possible.
- chocolate (hence why I have a secret chocolate stash).
- takeaway pizza... I tend to have pizza nights at home with my boyfriend more often than I probably should.. It doesn't help that he can get 50% off in our local Domino's Pizza!
- alcohol.. I love dancing and socialising with my friends and alcohol just makes it so much funner! I just wish it wasn't so bad for you..
- cookies. Don't even get me started.. Me + cookies = lethal. I adore cookies. I wish I was allergic to them so I had an excuse to stop myself from ever eating them. I don't eat them as often as I use to though..
- Kripsy Kreme doughnuts. These are heavenly, they taste so good. I just don't know how something can taste or smell this amazing! A major weakness!

So yeah, there you go. Proof I'm normal. These are my weaknesses and the foods/drinks I crave the most - mainly because when I was at my heaviest, back in 2009, these were the foods/drinks I ate/drank the most.. Ideally I'd like to cut the majority of this out permanently or even just cut some of it right back so I can still have it, but very rarely.. But it's a lot harder said than done. I'm just going to have to work on it. I will not let these weaknesses defeat me or my dream! :)
