I don't think I can do this......... :(

Are you exercising? Exercising is more important than not eating. Drink lots of water and eat lots of healthy foods so you feel full. Have a treat now and then. The more you deprive yourself, the more likely you are to fail. Give yourself a break and get your body moving.

You must control yourself.The beggining is hard,but you must realise that you so that for your healthy.I haven't ate junk food since 2005 and i don't feel. the need.Try to focus about other things that you like to do. That way, maybe you could respect the diet.And you shouldn't forget about phisical exercises.

My Tip is get rid of the Temptation i.e Crisps Chocolates and all that lot and of course it takes a lot of Will Power to Now you are only on your First Day so you will be very tempted and possibly cheat a bit lol but try and set the Will Power in I hope you do it Girl

If you tell yourself that you can't have it then you will want it more. My daughter toasted a cheese sandwich for herself so I ask for 1 bite. I got it and enjoyed it and then got busy. I too am changing my diet at least til spring when I finally get back into the garden and so will not have the idle time to fill my face. I have chosen to reduce my bread intake and greatly reduce my pop and so we shall see how far I get. Just tell yourself that you are worth tending to and try drinking some tea instead or munch on salads like I am planning to do between breakfast and dinner. We can go this!! I stand with you for your success!!

I need to lose at least a stone myself! We should start a special discussion about weight loss or one of those interest groups so we could have a mini-support group. Ok, throw away all the junk food. Get a big water bottle. I have a 32 ounce one, which is 4 cups. If you fill it twice and drink it, you will be doing well. Get some of those crystal light single serving things. It gives the water a smidge of flavor and no calories. If you drink when you think you are hungry, you may not eat so much. Before the holidays, I was getting so close to my goal weight. At work there was always cookies and chocolate. I figured one wouldn't hurt. One of each every day did hurt! I gained 7 pounds! Now to get rid of it all, I will have to work my fanny off, literally. Good luck to you!

My advice would be to get all the junk food out of the house. It is not going to hurt your husband to start eating healthier too. If the temptation is gone it will be easier for you.

Yes that is too much junk food stored in house but what to do justv try to restrain yourself

Burn it, BittyBiddy! I'm 54 and a very good cook, I keep my weight under control by walking 15 miles a day and drinking huge amounts of water and grapefruit juice... I don't deny myself anything as far as food is concerned, I love and enjoy all of the goodies that you mentioned above and more... It's the element of motion combined with cooking my own food when I am hungry, that keep me fit... The addition, of motion to your regular diet, will take a little getting used to but the results are wonderful... I enjoy an increased metabolic rate, so I feel warm all the time, this makes me drink more water which is really the key to the best systems of losing weight. Grapefruit juice has elements that will help you lose weight, too... look it up on your favorite search engine. Increased activity when done steadily will certainly do it for you... "Move it, to lose it!" Blessed Be! :)

I know its hard, I think you just have to do more walking, I am trying but it is so hot at the moment, I hate going out in it, anyway good luck I will be watching this thread in case someone comes up with a magic remedy....:)

I started my diet today also. It's killing me and I feel like I can eat a cow I'm so hungry, BUT I'm going to try my best to stick with it because I need to loose some weight. I'm doing it for me and my happiness. Not for anyone else.

Mind over matter! Remember, dieting ain't easy. It will help though if your hubby supports you a lil and is considerate of what he eats in front of you. How bout getting him to join you in a healthy eating plan? My hubby is trying to lose weight so in doing that i have to keep him company. We now eat the same foods, altho i will admit that i do cheat now and again but at least then he doesn't feel alone in abstaining from all the niceties in the house. Try him out....if not, remember - if this is really what you want and your mind is made up to reach that goal in April, you will WILL yourself to do it. I'll eat with you from this side....

Hmmm i know the feeling i am on a diet as well. And with a household filled with big eaters and junk food eaters, it is hard to resist temptation...I have been on a diet for about a month, i have been doing good. I have tons of sweets, and chips, and junk food in my house. But an idea is say to yourself, your on the diet for a reason to lose weight, right?? So why give into temptation just because its there?!?! You need to incorporated a balanced food diet and exercise. Becuase without exercise, you will go no where! Also have you thought of a supplemental diet pill?

I have traveled to places all over the world, and regret that Ireland is not one of them, so I cannot fully appreciate the landscape. I don't even know what a stone is... unless we are talking about a rock. BUT, one thing I know is that if you want to lose weight and keep it off... you will have to change something about your routine. And the beauty is... you can still have cheese and chocolate... in moderation! Excercise! Excercise! Excercise! If you walk, run, hike, ride a bike, run in place, or do lunges (works very well), you don't have to starve yourself or give up certain foods. You will feel better and your changes will last much longer!

First, this advice I'm about to give you was, in fact, told to me by a certified nurse. Now, the process is simple, if you don't mind counting calories. Say your target weight is 130 pounds, then you would want to eat about 1300 calories until you reach that weight and then keep eating exactly 1300 calories. So, you see, all you have to do is take your desired weight and add one zero to the end of it and that is exactly how to determine how many calories to eat every day. Now, let me mention the wonderful thing about this. You can eat whatever, and I mean whatever, you want-including sweets of all kinds. Now, that doesn't mean that you eat mostly sweets because you wont have enough calories left to eat any normal food like your body needs. I'd say to even out your food and sweets to where you can enjoy a hearty meal of any kind, without exceeding your limit so you can have a few sweets afterwards.Trust me it is 100% true just try it.Of course if you're not all into having to keep up with counting calories then the only other thing I could suggest would be The South Beach Diet. Just go to this site: www.southbeachdiet.com or go out and purchase the book. Good luck and believe me just give it a shot and see what works for you because you shouldn't have to hurt your body just because its been a rumor to pretty much starve yourself. Remember that you only have one body so treat it right. Good luck.

My advice would be everytime you see or smell the food that is not healthy for you, would be to go somewhere where you will not smell the food or see it. If you stay away from it, you may find it easier to avoid the temptation of digging in to your husbands foods. That is what I would do in this case or go for a walk outside.

I think i have to dissappoint you but you have to get over your temptation of this junk food,the best way to do is to compel your husband also to stay away from this junk food because as long as it is out of sight you need not worry about the temptation.

I don't think that I have ever survived a diet. I have just given up on dieting and have accepted who I am. I am not a lot over weight, but I am a little heavy. You have to have a lot of disciplin to survive diets and I just don't have it. GOOD LUCK!!!

Keep away from the junk food! Sweets, crips, mince pies, chocolate are fond of young ladies, but if you are seeking svelte, you must eat more fruites, vegetables... and less junk food...

control ur self ,take all the junk food from ur house. make a very strict decision in ur mind not to overeat .

I know the feeling! I have been trying to get all the sweets out of the house so I man not tempted. I am also writing down everything I eat and drink so I can look back at the day and see where I had problems. Good luck, I know that's what I need!
