Im quitting even before i have started

I started by entering EVERYTHING on this site. I did not tell myself that I had to change but I kept track. When you end a day and t tells you what you would weigh in 5 weeks if you continued that way you WILL change. Even if it is just cutting out the high calorie things. I joined a gym with a year contract. A nice gym. I went everyday. No parties or Happy hours unless I went to the gym. At first I said I only have to stay half an hour. Then I upped it.
Baby steps. Change one thing.
Another trick ou can try is instead of taking something away add something. Instead of saying no McDonalds tell yourself you have to eat a banana before every lunch break.
Good luck!!!

But its easier said then done, im honestly failing and cant seem to get out of this deep hole

Do you know why you're struggling? If you can answer that question, great! If not, then that's where you need to start.

If it's because it all seems overwhelming, start by making small changes. Add exercise to your routine. Once you get that going, then start working on portion control. Then, move on to making changes in the foods that you eat. After that, add more things to your exercise routine to vary it.

Breaking it down can help make it not so overwhelming to make the changes. Usually, people will fail b/c they go all in and it's too much change all at once to manage (physically, emotionally, or demand on time, etc.), so they feel like they're failing and they give up.

Simple try to find some replacement foods for the junk, like replace soda with iced green tea, try it it tastes even better then that !!

Don't buy junk! Just don't let it be an option anymore/ Use your willpower. Pretend it will kill you if you put it in your mouth. That's how I stopped eating fries and chips because once I started, I could not stop. Now, I'm at a point where I can eat a few and stop, but until I could limit my portions I would not eat them.

If you can't quit cold turkey, start with one thing like chips or candy. Then keep taking away more things.

You will succeed better if you want to do this, like quitting anything, you can only really do it if you want to. You can pretend but you are only kidding yourself and opening yourself up to failure.

Maybe you need to ask yourself why you want to change your habits, or why you find it so hard. Is it convenience of the bad stuff around? It could be a modern day sugar and salt addiction. When I started changing my eating habits I found that after a few days I wasn't craving the bad stuff and I was starting to feel more energised and raring to continue with the change in lifestyle.

Logging everything in MFP and getting some support from people in the same situation makes the journey that little bit easier.

I am sure you can do this. Prove it to yourself! Good luck!

(oh and I should have said, you don't have to cut out the bad stuff totally, start by cutting down and replacing some with healthier options. Denying yourself totally will make you crave it more)

Starting is the biggest step. Deciding you are going to do it, and then take that first step. Just don't set unrealistic goals. Maybe start exercising, and not dieting, that way you can eat like normal, and then when you start feeling better from the exercise, it will motivate you to change your diet! I am like you. I like to eat and dieting is not my thing. My BF is 6' tall and weighs 250 lbs. I can eat as much as he can. I am 5'4 and 127 lbs. But since I started working out (almost 2 weeks ago) it has motivated me to change my eating habits as well, even though my goal isn't to really lose weight, but to tone up. Good luck.

Years ago I went to a Dietician for a few months. The first thing she had me do was write down everything that went into my mouth; sort of like MFP does. It shocked me into cutting way back on my eating. You might try that or go on a cleansing fast for a couple of days. Fruit juice, fruit and veggies for a couple of days might snap you out of some of the eating problems. First of all, it's like smoking. You really have to want to do it to quit. My father always said there is only three ways for an addict to change. One, a 12 step program. Two, a near death experience and three, a revelation of God. I'm not suggesting any of these although the third one got me off of a three pack a day cigarette habit 16 years ago. Letting yourself get really hungry sometimes will put food into the right perspective. Good luck and think positive. We can do anything we really want to do.

lifestyle change, not a diet. If you can't live without treats, figure them out into your diet. I don't stop eating my favorites, I just don't go crazy like I did before.
Start one thing at a time, work on changing your diet first, then maybe start walking, then maybe join a gym, try weight lifting and then add some other stuff. And before you know it you are living a healthy lifestyle.

Unfortunately there is nothing anyone can say or do to help you motivate yourself, it has to come from within. I was 260 pounds before I realized I needed to do something about it. I was appalled looking at myself in the mirror & said by my next birthday (the big 3-0!!) that I will not be this fat!

Fast forward: Now I’m 52 pounds lighter and committed to losing another 30 by November.

You can do it, but the key word is YOU.

First of all, you're not going on a diet. You are going to be making healthier food choices and adding in exercise.

I eat what I want, I just make it fit into my calorie goal. Some days my choices are healthier than others. For me healthy food choices are a work in progress.

As for exercise, you just have to make yourself do it. Sometimes I can't exercise until 9pm or later but I do it. I never regret exercising, no matter how much I don't want to do it. I always regret not exercising.

Each day is an opportunity for you to move closer to your goal.

love that! i always regret it when i dont work out, but i am always soo happy that i pushed myself to do it. i have just started the 530 am work outs..something i never thought i would do! but with my schedule its literally the only time i can work out, and now that ive started i really enjoy them! once you do something once and you realize its not so bad, it becomes easier each time. 90% of the battle is just DOING IT. good luck we're all here to support!

Eating junk food causes you to crave junk food. How about starting simply? A 5-10 minute walk at least 5 times a week, and an apple a day (or banana, or whatever piece of fruit you like). Those are both good for you, and simple ways to start changing your life. Once you see how good you feel getting out for a walk, you will want to walk more.

Yes that's a great idea. It won't take long before you realize that piece of chocolate cake wasn't nearly as filling as a plate of veggies would have been.
