THIS IS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO GIVE IN TO CRAVINGS THAT RUIN YOUR WEIGHTLOSS PLANS.
Trust me, I'm no newcomer to cravings. It's simple, you restrict yourself from a food that you are use to, and you find that you miss that food, in some cases you expirience withdrawl. This happens in things that have caffine, which aren't all that good for you. So, the next time you have a craving for some salty oh so good potato chips, or that bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream, follow these steps, that will make you decide, and work for that craving.
1)You get that craving. Instead of heading straight to the kitchen to rummage around, go sit in some place that does not have food and make yourself stay there for at least 5 minutes. When your time is up, if you still REALLY want it, go to step #2.
2) Go drink a glass of ice cold water, or suck on some ice cubes. Once you've done this, you... (view more)THIS IS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO GIVE IN TO CRAVINGS THAT RUIN YOUR WEIGHTLOSS PLANS.

2) Go drink a glass of ice cold water, or suck on some ice cubes. Once you've done this, you can pretty much tell if your craving is actual hunger. If it is, then go ahead and have a piece of fruit.
3) You've gone through the first 2 steps, and yes, it truely is a craving. Some cravings are worth having, but first, you must pay for them. Do 10 push ups, 20 jumping jacks, and 5 crunches. Do you still want those potato chips? Yes? Well, then you can have them. BUT WAIT. Don't go take the bag and sit down in front of the t.v. That's the worst thing you can do. Take out the bag and count out each potato chip and put it in a bowl. Make sure you only have a small portion. You are responsible for every one of those chips. Next, go sit down at a table. No books, no t.v., no drawing. Just you and the food. Take a look at it. Is all this really worth it? If yes, go ahead and eat it. But remember, you have to do this all over again if you want more. You have to do this EVERYTIME you want something that you know you shouldn't have. Trust me, it's human nature not to be patient. Soon it won't be worth the 5 minutes, the jumping jacks, and the guilt. Good luck to all of you! (view less)

To bigboy: I tried twice to reply to your message, and it never came up, so I'll reply to you here.
Basically what I said was don't pay attention to the students, and focus on what you like about yourself, because it's more stressdul to constantly be worrying about your weight. Also, put your holiday candy away, and let yourself have a small bit every now and then. Treat yourself on Christmas and New Year's, but don't go totally wild, use moderation, and try to still workout if you have the time. Good luck!

Ht. 5'5", Start: 136 lb, Today: 178 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 136 lb - I feel so ashamed of myself! I've always been in pretty good health. 5 foot 5, around 130 or 140 pounds. Well at the beginning of the school year I was chosen to go live with a family in Germany. I was so happy! When I left I weighed 136 pounds, which is pretty much average. Well while I was there I figured I could let myself go a bit. Wow they have some great stuff there. Tons of chocolate, very good. I really didn't think I had changed much, having bought clothes there and stuff like that. Well when I got back (2 weeks ago) my friends were like, wow. And I really didn't get what was wrong and why people acted different. Then I decided to wear one of my old favorite outfits. These really cute jeans and a green T with glitter all over. Guess what.

I had only been gone for a little bit over 3 months! I was so shocked. The next day at school we were weighed and measured for gym and the nurse was just like, oh my. Probably seeing my old weights compared to me now. I feel so ashamed! I really want to get back to my old weight! Help! (view less)
