Trying to lose weight and stick to a diet, but can't..I blow

I agree with a lot of what's been posted already. Don't buy the junk so it's not in the house. If it's not there, you won't be tempted by it. Bring your gym bag with you to work, and go to the gym after work.

Protein is another big one. I don't know what you're eating, but I find that it's a big one for me. Also fat. Really. Working with my dietitian, she has told me that I should never have a meal that doesn't have some of each protein, carbs and fat. Never eat carbs on their own. Try things like a lowfat yogurt or veggies with hummus for your snacks. It doesn't take a lot of fat to make a meal that much more satisfying and stick with you that much longer. I really have upped the protein. Nuts are another good snack - particularly almonds.

Better planning can solve this problem. Plan out exactly what you're going to eat tomorrow and at exactly what times. Don't worry that "dinner time" is usually 7pm or whatever. Allocate your calories throughout the day. Stick to your plan. Repeat this day after day. Enjoy your new lean self.

Make sure you are logging in all of your food--accounting for the extra servings. I look at the labels and say "ok--is this worth wasting 200 calories on this?"

This is so true! I've been doing this the past week and when you look at the numbers like that the junk food just isn't worth it!

Best of luck!

I do this and compare it to even how long it takes me to work off a 100 calorie pack of something simple (aka: goldfish) and think "hmmm another 20-25 minutes...I could skip that and have more free time to sit on the couch." for some reason it does the trick. I did that with Cheetos today...they looked so good but i knew i would hate myself for making me stay on the stair machine for 20 more minutes.

They are good, but not THAT good!
