4 good quotes:-dont eat anything you'll regret tommorw-if i eat anything, i will eat everything, so i eat nothing-Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go-Do not give up on what you want most, for what you want at the moment.

Hey guys i was just sitting here thinking to myself at work (we're not busy at all...its quite boring) about the last time i cheated and bought a starbucks on my way to the bank. I know what happened and i think that i can give myself & others some advice that might stop cheating. When i splurged and bought the starbucks i had money with me (obviusely) and i guess it was the feeling of knowing i had the money and i COULD buy it that overwhelmed the shrinking "no its bad" feeling. So a simple solution to this would be dont put yourself in a suituation where you could buy sweets for no reason. I guess its hard to say stop carrying money but it really makes sense if you think about it. I saw a post on here earlier about going to the movies, and knowing what to not eat and it got me thinking that what if the person only brought enough for the ticket then they wouldnt be tempted to buy more. I dont know if im making sense or not but it kinda makes sense to me. I'll shush now. Toodles!

I had been dieting a few weeks and I was doing good, but this week I got depressed and totaly pigged out! It's bad and now I can't seem to get back to dieting, we're getting a pool soon so hopefully I can burn calories swimming and get back on the diet. I don't have much motivation so it's hard, no one is suporrting me. Especially my bf because he has got a fetish with this... chubbiness or whatever. I only want to lose enough weight to fit into a size 14 pants and maybe lose weight off my arms, by the way I am 5'4" 229 pounds. Any tips?

I HAVE AN IDEA--Ok when your family or whoever buys junk food, look at the nutrition facts on the package for the total fat. After reading that you will not want to eat them. You should have 30g of fat or less a day. A crispy cream glazed doughnut has 12 grams of fat, and most of the snack cakes have more than that!!!!

I know ive posted this message before, but i felt that if people saw it that hadnt seen it before, it would be good advice..Hi everybody, Don't ever get discouraged when you can't lose that weight as fast or as easily as you want, it will happen if you believe in yourself, and have confidence that you will lose the extra pounds.I started out at 140 pounds. That may not sound like a lot, but when your only 4 feet 10 inches, that is like huge.My daily diet (before the weight loss) consisted of a big breakfast, usually doughnuts, cereal, or something unhealthy, lunch at school (always french fries and pizza) and dinner at home, usually a starch, meat and something else. And never forget the snacks in between. When I started my diet, my breakfast was usually eggs, or a breakfast shake from herbalife, and a glass of orange juice. For lunch, I had a salad and skim milk, and for dinner, a small... (view more)
