Dear Lulu,
I had the same problem.Well still do. But my grandperents helped. They have a sweet-free house,well that is what I call it. They have nothing but helthy food in the fridge,counter,cabinets. So you said that you eat anything in your path,so now all you eat is healthy stuff. and at the supermarket I have no help for that. I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry.
your Blubberbuster friend,
Joclyn

just start incorporating more activity into your daily routine, and make some food switches. Instead of having frosted wheat, have half frosted wheat and half plain wheat, or instead of having fries, have a baked potato. Making healthier food choices will really help, and you'll be able to stick with it better than some diet in which you have to cut out certain foods. Plus, you can still eat whatever food you want, just not too much of the junk.

There could be one or two problems in your diet: Either you're eating less than 1,200 calories a day (Meaning you don't have enough calories for energy) or you are exersising so much that you become exausted and can't exersise anymore.

you don't have to do that much exercising to lose weight, I exercised for like 20 min a day (every other day) and just snacked a little less and lost 40 pounds

If u want to keep ur self from being sad or sumthin do a workout ypou enjoy or take a yoga or dance class if u want! but yes the best thing to do is exercise when u r sad because exercising makes u happy it is proven! good luck!

I think weight loss buddies help cuz if you start to get a craving for something you can go online and see if they are on so it is nice to have more then one so you can talk to them when you have a craving.

Everyone- I might have learned something wonderful- at the bookstore I was looking through a book called "101 ways to STOP eating after dinner" by Nancy Buthcer and here is a quote- "Pinch your ears. Applying pressure to the front of your ears may decrease your appetite, according to reflexologists." I don't know about you but I'm going to try it!
