bad habits...

I'm not sure how to help you. Maybe when you get home you can prepare some carrots or so"heathly" snacks for work the next day. I have to be to work at 5 am so i know where your coming from.

Go to your local grocery store & see what they have in produce that you could take with you or have waiting at home. Or try to balance out the fast food with healthy foods.

You also have to account for calories you might be burning during your longs days. But I don't think your going to reach your goal with your current game plan.

I know they say veggies are better but I find that fruit is great for travel & doesn't need refrigeration like veggies do to eat them on the spot.

High fiber foods might help with hunger because they will stay in your system longer so your not as hungry.

I wish you luck.3

One small thing that could help a little but you must take this weightloss thing serious and yes you cannot starve yourself is...when I eat crap I drink a protein powder with water with it...it feel me up quicker so I don't so much crap.

Time management is hard. I know. Those extra long hours seem to be the time I definitely don't want to go home and cook because I'm already hungry. Do you have a crock pot? Mine is a life-saver. There are so many healthy options you can throw in it in the morning and come home to a cooked meal. I cook roasts, ribs, chickens, soups, red beans, etc. in mine. Even if it's not really low cal, they are always healthier than fast food.

Your company is required to give you lunch time and breaks. Take them and at least eat a snack. Buy some fruit or healthy snacks that you can eat quickly. Pack a turkey sandwich in a small cooler if need be. There are options, you just need to take a deep breath and take them.

Kashi makes a great line of healthy snacks - cereals, granola bars, snack mixes - easy to eat on the go and full of grains and healthy fats to keep you full - and it's relatively low calorie. If you can just get a little healthy food in you during the day I bet the other late night bad habits will be easier to change.

We eat the Kashi high fiber cookies,taste good and takes hunger away. Good reply!:drinker:

I've been working stupidly long hours these past two weeks, that combined with a night out has really hit my calorie intake hard.
I dont seem to want to eat during my working day (6 till 6) just because of being busy but I am drinking water.

Then right after work it hits me like a ton of bricks!! Soooo hungry!! then I just eat crap:
This week its been a HUGE burger king meal.
Indian take away.
Ready made pasta salad loaded with creamy dressing.
Indian microwave meal take away.
pizza & burgers in one night!
Mexican food complete with starters, ( and many cocktails..oops)

everyday i wake up and tell myself it wont happen today, but it does!!

Is anyone doing the same thing and still losing weight?

Any advice? I can't make time to have proper foods in work time and never have time for a proper breakfast, usually just a cup of tea

Im too scared for the scales to see the damages

Sadly, in order to lose weight you really must make time to eat proper foods. I know that's not what you want to hear, but it's true. You can do your best to make quick and healthy foods available to yourself or if you absolutely HAVE to order out, there are many healthier options to choose from--they will probably still be high in sodium though, so try to up your water intake throughout the day.

I'd say keep something healthy and quick that you like with you all day... Not eating during the work day hours is probably your BIGGEST issue, seeing as if you're sooo hungry after work, you dont really care what you eat and will revert to the quickest and easiest solution to feed yourself.

But on a slightly different note, your post was filled with a whole lot of you being really hard on yourself. Possibly, it might help if you don't put all that pressure on yourself in the morning. Be kind to yourself, after all, that's what eating healthily and exercising is, your mind needs to be kind to yourself too. Stop beating yourself up over anything you think is "incorrect". Forgive yourself, and love yourself and try doing as that old saying goes "Speak to yourself as you would your best friend."

Because I pretty much promise that you wouldn't say even 1/2 the things you think about your eating habits to your friend. Go easy on yourself, FEED yourself during the day when you are using more calories and need it more and (also because it sounds like you are a busy busy person) remember to get rest!! Hope that helps some.
