    looking at your diary your barely ever eating the amount of calories you are allowing yourself...don't deprive yourself, it just makes it harder to succeed!

    I looked at your diary....boring and only 940 calories to boot. Are you a vegetarian or something? Why are you only eating salad and cucumbers and tuna?

    yeah having a pescatarian october and unfortunately REALLY out of ideas!!

    I'm struggle to juggling/add proteins and carbs into this !

    Add in some black beans and rice. It'll make you feel fuller and act as an amino acid (protein). Put garbanzo beans or black beans in your salads. Add in more vegetables (brocolli, tomatoes, cauliflower, peppers) to give more variety and colors that will enrichen your vitamin intake as well. Try a lentil soup (Progresso makes some really good ones).

    Don't give up! I think every one of us here has felt exactly like this as some point, probably several times at least! But this place is also filled with success stories, people who have made it through those days and gone on to meet their goal. And not only meet their weight loss goal, but do things they never thought they would do, like run a marathon, or even fit into a normal chair! You can do it! And food does not have to be boring just because it is healthy. You just have to spend a little time learning to make new things, and fnding the healthy things that you like. I have been vegan since March, and I absolutely love the food that I eat. It's all about finding what you enjoy!

    Dont give up.....you sound very busy and stressing over exams, life changesand they are all coming together. Stop focusing on the changes and let it happen. I just started back yestersay and I have been thinking about food also,so I started making menus and food options. I ate a piece of choclate, didn't kill me, I didn't eat the slice of bread i wasgoing to have.

    Change is not easy change is necessary. Remind yourself why you started this in the first place and let's do it together. You and me, let's go through this together. I also startedthe Body for Life 12 week fintness challenge yester day. I am trying to stay under 1300 calaries daily.
