Overwhelmed

Lots of people here have problems with binge eating even after a long time at this. It's something we'll struggle with for a long time if we don't find ways around it. I try to only buy single serving sizes of the foods I know I tend to overeat, and if that's not possible, I stay away from the food for a while (don't buy it). If I still want that food, I'll buy it after like a week, and portion it out. Just find what works for you, and you'll get some great advice from others here as well. It's not just about changing your eating habits, it's about changing your mindset that there is no other option. You have to want to change. And it's okay if you mess up sometimes...tomorrow is a new chance. Good luck!

I started really slowly. I got sick of the same New Year's resolution every year. Finally I went with one I knew I could keep. 2 servings of veggies every day. How does this translate to dieting? Well, I started eating better, then the next step was one hour of exercise every week. I kept a log. I rented DVD' s from Netflix (by mail) which turned out great because it gave me time to figure out what I liked. I started building on the exercise and started logging food. For me it's about controlling snacks.

You don't have to start big. You don't have to be drastic. Just make one change today, and continue to build on small successes. Consistency (not perfection) is the key. Good luck!

I got sick of being sick. I had a 1 yr old baby and didn't want to be an obese diabetic dad. I still struggle, but small changes, small victories will add up. If you completely give up each time you try you'll never make progress. Start chipping away at it and before you know it, you're a success story.

I've always have had this issue but recently it worsened to a point I couldn't take anymore. I also came to the conclusion with doctors that my BC had much to do with my weight gain. I was using the deposhot since the time of originally recieving this shot til last month my weight was sky rocketing. It is always a good idea to think about this aspect because birth control may have this affect on some women. But on a good note! I changed this and have seen an improvement and less cravings and binge eatting. I started the Balanced Protein Diet, which is strict but worth it. My mother had tried this diet and lost close to 30 pounds in 7 weeks. This diet is all protein based and keeps you full and satisfied which has always been a battle for me. Looking at pictures that are completely dreadful to me are what motivates me. I also took the time to delete all the food instagram accounts that I was following and replaced them with work out and dieting ones. This has helped me get modivated!
