Whats your downfall?.

This was me up until about 9 years ago. Wouldn't say boo to a goose. I just wish I was like this a bit earlier in life. Mind you I probably would've been beaten to a pulp a bit more though.

Lack of self confidence and the ability to make a move when i should, rather than sit back and regret it.

Chocolate, biscuits, cakes etc. If there's any of these in the house I eat them in one sitting until they are finished. Even though I know I won't enjoy it and it's making me pile on pounds I just can't resist.
However if there's nothing in the house I don't even miss it!

I cant spell.
I have no idea why, I have tried to learn but I just cant lol
Don’t get me wrong, I am not stupid, I have been to medical school, I got good grades in school (except English and French). I setup my own business and at its high point employed 22 people but I still cant bloody spell and my grammar sucks.

Terrible with money. I'm still working my way out of debt, although in the crap job I'm in it's just crawling along on the cards. The loans are going, one finishes in February which will be a massive help. I'm vastly better these days but not as good as I could be. Improving as I go though, definitely.
Getting myself in trouble. I've lost a couple of jobs that I was very good at through either making mistakes through temper or whatever or allowing myself to be pushed into a mistake. My last job I was goaded and provoked and did exactly what the person wanted me to, and got fired. Went to tribunal and settled last minute, which I personally take as somewhat of an admission on their part that they don't think it'd stand up (they VERY rarely settle with anyone), but the tiny settlement isn't what I wanted, I wanted my job back and couldn't not fight it.
Although I was deliberately provoked, I allowed it to work, and I shouldn't have. Bitterly regret it. Currently on £8k less than I was at that job, and that was only £20k. Stupid.

Lacking self confidence, hesitant yet at times reckless with decisions. I'm also a worrier.

Self confidence and fear of failing can stop me from trying new things.
Similar to what Tank said, I started smoking weed when I was 16 everyday until I was 24 (quit when I immigrated to the UK)
Imho I peaked when I was 16 - had good grades, was healthy and slim, chicks on each arm etc. Weed totally took away all my motivation to the point I stopped playing sport, scraped through on grades, cba to do anything other than just get stoned/drink/party with mates.
Things have vastly improved since being in the UK except I am very overwieght and still lack the motivation to start getting healthy. I need to start soon even my wife says she is worried about me having a heart attack but that still doesn't motivate me
Wish I could just start!

I've been diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder So at the moment I think my tendency to go from Chill to Insane maniac is quite a hinderance to ones life. 
Later on though I will think something completely different & beleive it.
Just put me down as Mental.

Whack some Rocky on that always motivates me into dragging myself to the gym.
