I really can't stop thinking about food unless I bienge eat, like the past couple nights around 10 or 11 at night I've been going to In-N-Out ordering two #1's and just going crazy but yet the next day all I can think about is great tasteing food.
My whole day consist of 2 meals which is basically baked chicken breasts and a salad twice a day and a snack like yogurt.
UGHH! It's so frustrating! every time I fall off this diet I keep pushing myself to get back on the horse and pull threw but damn its just ughhhhh,
I'm 20 years old, male, 5'10 & 340 lb and I've been big all my life even when I played football, and I've come to a point in my life where I just want to put my foot down but yet I'm finding it harder to put the KFC down.
When I'm at work I walk ALLOT I'm basically on my feet all day so I burn about 600-800 calories in a 9 hour shift, and I counsume about 2000-2200 calories a day but when I'm at home on my days off I can't seem to stick to my diet. I have no friends and no place to go besides work and school.

I need advise on how to break this cycle or tips from someone who went threw the same situation.

    I'm not an expert on this - just wanted to bump you ahead as your thread is quickly getting buried. Search for information about your TDEE and BMR. if you try to restrict your diet too much you are just going to get into trouble with binging or giving up. Good Luck

    "My whole day consist of 2 meals which is basically baked chicken breasts and a salad twice a day and a snack like yogurt."

    Plan your meals and snacks. Do some research about healthy foods. You do not have to eat just chicken breasts and salads in order to lose weight. If my daily diet was that restrictive I would be binge eating too. If I want a "double, double, animal style with fries light well done" then I get it. I just make sure I try to fit it into my calories for the day. If I go over, I don't really worry - as long as my calories average out over a week then I'm fine. Eat more during the day and you might not binge as much at night!!

    Good luck!! I know you can do it.

    Thanks for the reply everyone but my biggest reason I choose chicken and salad is because its low in calories and I can still get full without the extra calories, it's not just plain boiled chicken, I maranade it for 2 days and the salad is just a plain salad about 25 calories because I eat 1 1/2 servings to fill full. Is it my portion size?

    No one could last on a diet of two chicken salads and yogurt for very long. I'd want a #1 on a daily basis if I did that, too. So what you're doing isn't working. You gotta come up with another plan that you can stick to and be successful. A successful plan is rarely a starvation/binge diet. Read what is linked and try it. You don't have to starve to lose weight. Right now you're creating a cycle where you set yourself up for failure.
