Can you answer Jessica B’s question about Weight Loss?:
I was just curious what everyone else struggles with when trying to diet. Mine is just hunger, I have a hearty appetite and loathe the feeling of being hungry so its hard to say no to tasty, greasy foods that are available when I’m dieting. Whats your obstacle? And have you overcome it or are you still battling?

Weight Loss Feedback: Don’t starve yourself
Weight Loss Feedback: My biggest obstacle was eating properly. I now use the Fat X diet and it’s strategies and it really helps.
Weight Loss Feedback: just step back and look at your life for a minute.
If you can’t live without foods that taste good, then you are living off a drug (seretonin) a chemical in your brain that makes you feel good. How important is that to you? Try living 1 week without any “good” tasting food. If you can’t, just realize that your purpose in life may be limited to a chemical in your brain you can’t go any longer than 1 week without.
Weight Loss Feedback: I have the same problem. PLUS I just stay or gain wait no matter what i do,, which is annoying. eating out of boredom can also be tough.
Weight Loss Feedback: motivation!!! you really gotta be motivated, try friends to exercise with.
Weight Loss Feedback: My biggest obstacle is always sweets. I love them, especially chocolate. They way I get around it is by still allowing myself a little. I usually will try things that are sugar free or much smaller so I don’t consume too many calories. I have found if I try to take it away I end up going crazy and eating a bunch.
Weight Loss Feedback: I know exactly what you mean…that is the exact same for me…In particular my parents work late, so sometimes they only have time to pick up fast food. I know most fast food places offer salads, but why would i get that when i could have a burger and friessss. I have yet to overcome this, but hopefully someday i will realize that junk is no good for me
Weight Loss Feedback: bleh
Weight Loss Feedback: For me, it’s resisting foods that simply taste colourful in my mouth lol. i.e. chips…. (are a big guilty pleasure for me)
I think I only overcome that when I really choose to though… I usually give in when I feel like I haven’t eaten them for a long while, and that’s when I truly INDULGE (in every sense of the word).
But overall, I think I’ve overcome it. A tip is to just stay away from the foods altogether, and have the willpower to resist walking over and buying/taking the specific food out of the cupboard.
Weight Loss Feedback: I am still in the process… but i’ve found that drinking lots of water keeps my stomach full
Weight Loss Feedback: soda and snacks. I have now over come the soda but the chocolate and the chips i still crave very much. I guess its Mind over matter if you want to gain control!! Food can be an addiction!! WILL POWER!!
Weight Loss Feedback: Staying the course even when there is no visable progress.
And the fact that healthy and weight are always thrown together like one determines the other. I think that is my biggest chalenge. Does weight determine health? Is this answer a fat girl passive aggressive answer or is there some truth to it.
I don’t like to struggle in life and I don’t think being healthy is a hard thing. I do think struggling to be a “target weight’ set on some random chart should be the driving factor to keep people buying is immoral.
Weight Loss Feedback: Chocolate. I can’t have it in my house. Everything else I’m o.k. going without but chocolate is my obsession. As long as I don’t see it, I don’t think about it.
