Eating less

Determination and Willpower.

Just keep telling yourself how much better you're going to look and feel by not indulging in a ton of unnessessary food.

If you want to look good, you'll eat healthier. If you don't truly want it, you want get it.

I was just having an arguement with someone about this. My point of view is that you don't have to eat less, you just have to choose your food differently.

I eat pretty well, but incorporate lots of low-calorie foods into my diet.

The person i was arguing with stated you needed to feel hungry to lose weight. I'm not buying that at all.

I totally agree with you. Why should you have to starve yourself to lose weight? That'a a bit ridiculous if you ask me, headed down the wrong path towards anorexia, belemic (sp?), binge eating.

I concur! I know a lot of people (me included) that say they eat MORE since they move to a healthier lifestyle because the foods they eat are naturally lower in calories.

Fill your day up with lots of delicious (healthy) snacks and prepackage them. When you get ready to eat your raspberries (or blueberries in my case), pull out your premeasured exact 1/2 cup of blueberries and munch away. Don't sit there with the entire pint in front of you I went to Family Dollar and bought boxes and boxes of ziploc bags and 1/2 cup tupperware containers. I weight, measure and prepackage EVERYTHING so I know exactly how much I'm eating at all times.



edit cuz I can't spael

I agree, Stormieweather. Having a set portion is always a good idea (and in some cases mandatory) for most people so that they don't over-indulge.

And, like I said before - Willpower. Just tell yourself "no." If you eat those extra 10, you've only failed yourself. I think personal failure is one of the best forms of motivation. If YOU want to eat right and look good, you WILL.
