    Are you logging it all? Logging alone is enough to set me straight! I'm not a fan of putting a time limit on weight loss. It must be a lifestyle change in order for it to work. Log everything, everyday! And find exercise you like so that it isn't a chore!

    Keep your mind busy thinking on other things instead of eating :)

    The only advice I have to give is to take it one day at a time - or even smaller than that - one meal at a time. If you are having a craving that you simply can't get rid of allow yourself a small amount and put the rest away. Out of sight out of mind. Another thing is be prepared to work off the calories if you choose to have something that isn't good for you. I hope this helps. Good Luck!!

    Don't give up! You can do it! I am the worst at sticking to a diet, but I have been logging into this website since Feb. 6! Put the junk food away in a cabinet or closet out of sight and just have the good snacks, like celery, pickles, carrot sticks, and drink lots and lots of water.
    Hiding the junk food will be out of sight, out of mind.
    Go for a walk and listen to a IPod to get your mind off of eating.
    Yard work is another good idea.
    If you are religious and live near your church, go to church and just sit and pray for a bit, reflecting on your life and how you are trying to improve it by being healthier and trying to live longer.
    You can do it! Your friends and family have probably noticed a difference in you, and ask them for sincere encouragement as well.

    You can't ride on will power alone because it is a exhaustible resource. And also think on longer terms than 4 weeks. You probably didn't put the weight on on 4 weeks and unless you have a few extra pounds setting a deadline will kinda set you up for failure. Better commit to sticking to your plan, sooner or later you WILL SEE results.
    I know it's not the magical spark that you might have been expecting but if you are ready to stop yo-yoing then think long term. And don't push too hard as too need will power to do it. :)

    I understand that feeling. Once again I am up and down with the weight. ( on the up climb at the moment) But I am learning the signs of the "unwanted" munchie moments. Such as: when I get stressed, I don't think I can handle something or dealing with difficult situations. I have also learned what happens to my energy level, emotional stamina, and overall self-esteem and that is not a place a want to stay at. So with lots of prayer and a very supportive husband, I don't add time limits to my weight loss. I measure my healthy by how I handle live. Sometimes you need to eat a little of the sweet, the salty or fruity but press on. Healthy is the key not perfection.
