I hate dieting HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT!

[dorktv]

I hate the wanting stuff that I cannot have, the wanting of things I should not eat, and the fact that I still crave snickers!

But I want to be 150 lbs so I must keep on...:cry:

1. Hang in there!

It'll be worth it. I just lost 15 lbs. and I can fit in my PANTS again! I still have more to lose, but I am happy with my progress.
You can do it! :hi:

2. I know...80 lbs to go after about 20 gone...

unfortunately I bloat during the you know when and that makes me feel like I am not getting anywhere.

7. Oh yes.

My pants are still tight at THAT time. The cravings are worse then too. Yikes!

9. well that explains why last week I was okay and this week I am going

insane with desire for all the bad stuff I love.

3. You can still enjoy the things you love ...

all things in moderation so the story goes.

5. thanks for this link! Yes I know but if I start on one, I know how I am..

I go nuts...better to try to get in the habit of eating right first.

8. weight watchers is good...I am thinking of just going with Healthy Choice

meals and eating lots of veggies to go with it. The diet I am on is too restrictive in the way it is formed I think.

11. I eat frozen lean cuisines and augment them with fruit and veggies

I also have eliminated a lot of the junk food in my household...

I am tired of dealing with stuff I know is bad for me.

So have been throwing away or giving my kids and the other kids in the neighborhood all the goodies while they play outside...(they are all pretty thin and healthy kids...so a box of Girl Scout thin mints will not be a detriment to them...)

12. those frozen meals are pretty good now...used to be they were icky but

not anymore.

[bleedingheart]

14. they aren't bad and they have taught me portion control

I used to fill an entire plate with spaghetti...I can literally eat and drink my poor hubby under the table....but I have to moderate my diet.

I need to lose about 20-30 pounds to be in a heart healthy area.

I joined a group to keep myself honest and be good.

[dorktv]

16. I just whine to anyone who will listen. :D But yes, portion control is

so important.

13. It is okay to sneak a small taste...

Moderation. One small piece per week won't be bad (cut up one bar into small segments...)

I was a bad boy over the weekend and splurged...

If I had self control, I wouldn't have eaten the whole bag...

Of course, I didn't need to buy the bag either... :9

15. Well I reserve Saturdays as my day to "cheat" and get a few things off

diet. But what an above post said, this is more to do with my hormones then anything else...Last week I was fine.
