Will power is an evil thing, as are cakes and all things fattening. Resisting food is KILLING me. Why does all the unhealthy stuff have to taste so goooood.
Is anyone else struggling with a diet atm? Don't tell me I'm all alone

I'm aiming to be 8 stone by the 18th of May, so that gives me 3 weeks to lose a whole stone. It's gunna kill me this is

I'v been to the gym today and now I ache all over and I am sick of the sight of salad stuff. But I'm bloody determined

And this is after only 3 days of dieting, it's making me cranky

AlternTIVELY, if anyone knows any good diet plans post them here

I've already told you the best diet: drink as much as you can so that you lose almost all your appetite. It takes about 10 litres a day though, so it's rather expensive.

I don't think I could drink that much, I get my 8 glasses and thats about it, plus I wee enough aas it is. And can't you like drown yourself if you drink to much water?

I love how theres an ad for healthy eating at the top of the page

I don't LIKE apples

I'm currently scoffing grapes *is so hungrrrry*

Cutting back on food is a bad idea!! Sure swapping some cakes for greens helps, but eating a significant amount less makes your body go into "fasting mode", which means it will hold on to any fat at all in your diet instead of burning it, in the end you'll have more that way AARGH!!!

So do eat some cakes every once in a while, just go easy. And your body will chill out and be more responsive to the greens when you eat them ^^

Exercise is really much more important to the loss than eating habits. I've found that when you get exercising you forget about your appetite anyway, especially if it's stuff you enjoy doing. Gyms SUCK!!! They are no fun at all, no fun means more likely to binge afterwards ^^

And green tea of course, on top of all the water Juliet suggested. It will help speed up your metabolism and burn fat faster. Hope I'm helping with all this

just exchange bread and carbs for meat and vegetables

Stay away from sodas and drink lots of water, before you know it you will enjoy water more than soda

I don't drink pop anyway, all I ever drink is cordial. I know my downfall is alcohol and bread, I really need to cut back on those nasty critters

todays not gone to bad after the initial hunger, I'v just been scoffing lots of fruit

Fruit is good for a snack but it's nutritional value is still not enough.

i have never needed to diet as i have always known that as long as i am happy with my body then i don't care but if you do quite alot of exercise then it will be alot easier to loose weight as your body will start to burn off any excess fat

OH GOD... Dont mention it!
Last year I used to go CRAZY with all those diets! For 2 weeks I ate nothing but 3 sticks of celery a day...I used to be skinny before, than became an anorexic(kinda)....Im recovered now though =3... Still really skinny (Bweh! DX)

I agree. Cutting back is definitely not cool as it will actually do the reverse on your body. (That and it's not healthy at all. You want to do your diet the right and healthy way.) Just watch what kind of food you eat and alternate when necessary - as long as you eat three meals a day, you're all good. Healthy snacks in between won't hurt at all, but yeah, I do agree that the healthier snacks don't really taste as good. Still, it's something though, right?

Hmm, cutting back on carbs will also help, but don't cut back too much to the point where you're actually frustrated for not having your bread. Just limit the amount you eat and you should be fine.

Jogging will also help greatly, so don't forget that.

Finally, if it makes you feel better, I am also having a hard time with my diet at the moment. xD I really should start taking my own advice more often.
