How do you diet?

dream_ozn @dream_ozn (1754) • Singapore 14 Apr 13

I'm currently on a study abroad program in London and i realised that because of the cold and being very undisciplined, i gained about 6kg in 3 months. This is extremely terrible as i see my tummy bulging, my thights getting...

Lindalinda You are smart to realize that you have to stop gaining weight. It is particularly hard for someone who is new to a country and wants to try all the local foods. I don't know if you eat in a cafeteria or live in a residence where you can cook your own meals....

danishcanadian @danishcanadian (28953) • Canada 12 Apr 13

Do you sacrifice certain luxuries so that you can do other things?

Dominique25 @Dominique25 (9464) • United States 13 Apr 13
