Love food lose weight

1) Change the way you think about food. It's just food, not good or bad. Give yourself positive feedback when you make good choices. Don't give yourself negative feedback for poor choices.

2) Eat whatever food you want (Remember it isn't good or bad.) But practice portion control. If you eat fast food, make the next meal low in fat and calories.

3) Record everything you eat. Honestly recording your intake makes you accountable. Don't fudge on this one.

4) Exercise. It really does help burn the extra calories off.

I've lost 52# in 7 mos this way. I have 100# to go. If I can do it, ANYONE can do it.

PM if you want, or let me know if I can help in any way.

(wow, bakin_april great job!

* I too would keep a journal of what I ate and make sure I know how many calories I ate.

* I also really recommend getting a "diet" book. The reason I put 'diet' into inverted commas is because I don't mean silly diets like cabbage soup/atkins/ect - no offence to anyone who follow them - because they tend to only work as quick fixes. Don't know about you, but I want a healthy body and I want it for life.
Try no-nonsense ones like Skinny !**@! by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin, one I have: Supermodel's Diet Secrets by Victoria Nixon - I finished reading that with a smile on my face. These books show you how to eat well without feeling deprived or let down at the end.

* Also think about one of those books which show you the calorie content of pretty much everything. Its a good investment =)

* Excersicing is really great too. It needn't be boring - do something you really enjoy. I have started trampolining, it fun and in ten minutes you benefit as much as a jogger would in 30! Its also a top cellulite buster!

* To break the habit of over-eating (not stopping when you're satisfied and eating because its there!) is to always, ALWAYS leave something on your plate. Its a childhood habit: where you always told to eat everything on your plate?

* Good luck!

Some short term diets are supposed to eliminate cravings. One in particular that I can tell you first hand is very difficult to get through but once you do it's so much easier to eat healthy... anyways it's called the detox diet. I'm currently on it and basically what you do is you give up meat (except fish) completely, also no dairy, no wheat, no sugar, no caffeine, and no alcohol but only for a week (which is no piece of cake) you just have to plan your meals and there are cereals you can eat made with corn meal and peanut butter and stuff that you can eat with soy milk also stock up on fish cause it's a lifesaver. I've heard from several sources that this diet helps you really overcome cravings and after 5 days it actually is starting to work for me as well. It is a little extreme so if you're not up for it just try to maybe give up some empty calories you might be consuming, like candy, soda or alcohol, and start to exercise for 30-90 minutes a day if you don't want to drastically alter your diet, you need to exercise lots.
