Someone please help me!

If you're hungry all the time you may simply not be eating enough or eating too much junk and not enough filling stuff. Can't tell since your diary is closed.

You absolutely CAN stop yourself from overeating. You are not a victim.

The biggest thing I have learned over the last 2 years is that getting my eating under control was going to be critical to my success. I used to have cravings and binge and then undereat to compensate. That did not work. It's a vicious cycle.

I knew I could clean house and never have any foods I loved on hand - but who are we kidding - we're adults with the ability to get food whenever we want it.

I recommend that you start trying to delay the urge to eat something when you have these feelings. Maybe you only make it 2 minutes. Next time, maybe you'll make it 3. Maybe you can talk to yourself and only have a little of something rather than all. As you are able to talk yourself into better choices, you will feel stronger. Make sure you are eating enough every day and eat enough protein to keep you satiated. TEACH yourself to make good choices. Retrain your brain to understand why you do what you do.

Learning moderation is a skill. Once you master this skill, you will find that you feel stronger about your ability to control your cravings and bingeing. In the long run, it's what is going to keep you healthy.

Hi! It is such a struggle when you feel super hungry and there are just no calories left in your day. My name is Kim and my weight loss journey began two years ago. I was at my heaviest (225) and things were not good. I couldn't keep up with my kids, I was tired all the time, and my doctor told me that my cholesterol was on the rise! I decided something needed to change. I started walking, and eventually doing some weight training. I am down over 70 pounds! I feel so much better, and I love supporting and encouraging people to do the same. I would be happy to be an accountability partner with you. I still have some weight to lose, so we can work at it together! Getting your nutrition under control is a big key to losing weight. I can share what has worked for me if you are interested. If you work hard, I know you can reach your goal! So what do ya say? Are you in?

I am so upset and frustrated right now!!! I have lost 70 lbs since November 2013. For the last 1-2 months I have been totally back to binge eating and eating all the wrong foods. I ALWAYS sabotage myself like this. IDK how to stop. I know I'm not hungry and I feel so crappy when I do it, but I seriously cannot stop myself. Fortunately, I have been a physco about working out so I have managed not to put any weight back on, yet. But, I know it will catch up to me soon. I just always feel so hungry. WHAT DO I DO? I don't want to gain the weight back!! I am still 20 lbs from my goal. Please, any tips would be much appreciated.

First of all you are human, that's very important. It's ok to take a break from your diet especially after the results you achieved, in fact your body needs it.

Here's what I would do if I were you.

First, get back on the horse, its ok. you're human, you're not going to undo everything you worked so hard for.

Second, next time you take a break try eating at maintenance instead. The new found freedom will be wonderful and you'll be able to eat more of your favorite foods. You can't go on a diet, lose a few pounds, then go back to eating "normal" (normal meaning how you ate before you started a diet) and not expect to gain weight back.

Third, the gym helps but remember weight loss is done mostly in the kitchen, don't make yourself workout 7 days a week to support poor eating habits. You can eat what ever you want, just practice moderation and making better choices.
