What most people who are trying to lose weight usually find difficult to change are eating habits that may have been well established since their childhood days. Weight loss is often difficult because these habits usually lead to overeating which of course, can easily add more calories.
For instance, if you were often rewarded by food for being a good kid when you were little, you may continue to look at food as symbol of reward or comfort as you grow older. You may also have been having midday heavy snacks since you were a little child, so it may be just difficult to break that habit as you mature.
One of the most common unhealthy eating habits is eating in front of the television. This can lead to mindless eating, where you keep eating even after you are full, because you are not focused on the eating process, but instead, your mind is distracted by other things. Maybe you've also acquired the habit of eating icecream before you sleep! That can really add the pounds without you even noticing it!
Don't despair and think that you can no longer change your ways. What you need to do is make a list of some of the eating habits you have acquired through the years and analyze which ones are bad for your weight loss program. Like any other bad habit, it takes a lot of discipline to break those habits that do not help you to lose weight. After analyzing what these eating habits are, be honest with yourself and find ways to break them one by one.
