I have been starting my diet for like 3 months now. My biggest problem is eating healthy. I always go for the unhealthy foods mostly sugar. Sometimes im not even in the mood for it but i will eat it anyways and then i feel like the whole day is wasted anyways and continue eating like crap the whole rest of the day and say "ill start tomorrow" and it is a vicious cycle. I think that once i get into the swing of things i will become more in the habit of healthy eating. So a little about me, i am 23 years old, 5'6" and 216 pounds. 4 years ago i lost a lot of weight and ate super healthy. I got down to 112 which wasnt healthy at all. So i started just eating whatever to gain weigjt and here i am, fat at 216 pounds. Im looking for any advice/tips/motivation to get myself going. I do see a trainer at the gym twice a week and it almost seems like a waste of money since i cant seem to gt the healthy diet going along with it and therefore havent lost any weight although i do feel stronger. Pleasr help!! Thanks in advance:)

    I've found that failing to prepare is preparing to fail... so my goal is to be prepared for the day ahead. I drink a smoothie every morning, which is really helpful because when I wake up, my instinct is to have a sugary cereal, but since I already have the ingredients and the blender is clean and on the counter, it's much easier to follow through with my plan. My breakfast smoothie contains: a cup(ish) of orange juice, handful of frozen fruit, a scoop of whey protein powder, a scoop of Axe Naturals Green Superfood, and a squirt of honey. I sometimes throw in a few clumps of frozen chopped kale. I pack a snack baggie of pistachios and sunflower seeds for when I'm hungry mid-morning for a healthy snack (bonus! protein!). I'm still working on a lunch and dinner routine, but my breakfast routine is pretty solid, so I'm pretty happy with my progress so far :)

    Checking labels is really important. I'm not really good at it yet, but I don't buy anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup. If I don't even have it in the house, I'm not likely to eat it.

    I agree with the post above.. if you are not prepared it is super easy just to eat anything. I have my meals planned out the night before (I basically eat the same things everyday, so that is easy). Also start small.. make little goals everyday and remember it takes 2 weeks to detox sugar out of your body.. it's a tough 2 weeks. ;). I lost 100 pounds 2 years ago and have kept it off so I know what you are going thru. You can do this.. it might also help to count your macros to make sure you are getting enough protein. I find this easier then counting calories.
