How to stay on diet and not give up ?
When I first started my diet I was eating right and everything and I lost 40 pounds. Now Im starting my diet again because I keep cheating. I dont feel bad until after I eat the junk food. I weigh 144 and I want to lose 20 pounds . I always give up in 2,3 days when I'm on diet and I start eating junk food and everything again. How do I to stay on my diet? :/
BEFORE you go to cheat, stop yourself, and focus on your thoughts which are gonna say "it's ok, I won't do it again, just one time"! Try turning that thought a round, and visualize yourself, on the beach looking great. And tell yourself, NO I will not do this! Self disclipine is the key ;) and remind yourself about that pound you need to lose by the end of the week! But when that thought comes around, use whatever motivation you have, even if it means going on the scale and seeing that dreaded number. Ask yourself; do I really want this number to go up? Do I want to start over?
What also helps is to keep a food diary, you don't have to count your calories, but it will help you manage your portions and keep track of what you ate.
And if you wanna cheat, do it ONCE everyweek.

Counting calories is the best way to lose weight. Don't forget to add in exercise as well. [ xomegaroni's advice column | Ask xomegaroni A Question ]
