When I'm having a bad meltdown I have a new rule where I wait like 45 minutes and if I feel more crazy I just give in to the temptation. You have to take a step back and think, "okay, how often do I feel this desperate for junk food? Maybe once a week, or once every two weeks?" I no longer plan cheat meals or cheat days…

Sorry to burst your bubble, these people clearly want to eat broccoli and quinoa and chia seeds and wheat grass......... If I got to eat what I wanted, and still stay close to my defecit calories, I would basically get like 1 scoop of ice cream, 6 fries, 2 cheese sticks, a slice of toast, and that would be my entire day…

Those little candy mints you get at the restaurant after your meal. They can be 100 calories!!! For like 1 minute of fame! And I usually grab a handful! Also ALL condiments, especially ketchup and mayo :( SO delicious and so bad... I eat broccoli and tofu for dinner and I add this Kraft Asian Sesame dressing, 1 tbsp is…

For me it doesn't seem to matter what I ate or didn't eat that day, when I get a craving for bad food, and after like half an hour of trying to fight it off, I will go WAY out of my way to get what I want!! Will walk to get the pizza, or to the cornerstore to get the chips/chocolate/candy/ice cream or go to a restaurant…

I don't think I'm built for running, but I still run 5k 3 times a week, I hit a PB yesterday, 28:25! Usually I am around 32 mins if I take it easy. I have short legs, big boobs, wide shoulders, I sweat and gasp for air like a fiend, I'm pretty sure people would hover around me with the AED if it was considered…

I weigh myself naked every morning and log that, and I weigh myself at the gym before and after my workout to see how much water I lost and make a note to drink lots. The number flucctuates which is fine, mostly I feel really happy seeing my weight because I'm so close to my goal! It keeps me really motivated, to see a…

I'm pretty sure this has to do with dopamine levels. Running increases dopamine, which is the chemical that crashes when your brain needs to tell you you're hungry/craving things. It's the same with smoking, nicotine increases dopamine levels, which curbs your appetite. If running has this effect on you, consider yourself…

Thanks for understanding, it's great to hear someone knows how I am feeling :) and who has been there.

You are totally right, I should be noting my coffees with cream and sugar, and the details I figure don't matter, because they do... I will have to figure out exactly what I can consume to keep the deficit and not feel so restricted. It's worth it to me to look into it.
