Here is another suggestion. Make sure you fully plan out your day in regards to meals. When I leave the house I pretty much know exactly how many calories I will be eating that day. It keeps me on task and keeps me exactly where I need to be. There is no guessing involved. When you are hungry and have nothing planned, you make bad choices. Why do you think Fast Food drive-thrus are so popular? Quick and easy. It takes a little extra work and planning but you will thank yourself.
 
As far as snacks go. Try to stay away from processed "diet" foods. They usually suck and it just reminds you that you are on a diet. I eat a lot of fruit. Took me a while to get in the habit but now I munch on at least 3 pieces a day. Hard Boiled eggs are good. Turkey breast is great. Popcorn is awesome if you get the healthy kind and not the ones swimming in fat. Whole wheat pretzels are good if you need a good salty, crunchy snack. Just limit yourself to 1 serving.
I try to stay away from any food that contains High Fructose Corn Syrup. That usually keeps me pretty safe.
Keep your diet as varied as possible, eating the same thing day in and day out gets old really fast and that leads to breakdowns.

I'm not suggesting you're lying. But people can fool themselves to the point they believe just about anything.

You listed that you ate 1800 calories yesterday.

You honestly feel that you eat that level of calories every single day of the week?

Because if you do, what you're saying is:

a) Your body is magic and can create energy (fat) our of nothing

b) You have some sort of medical condition that is unheard of to date

With regards to (a), to maintain 500 lbs requires at least 3 times the amount of food you're eating, if not more.

With regards to (b), obese individuals enter clinics or are researched more than just about any other subset of the population and there's never been a person who, once placed on a clinically controlled diet, didn't lose weight.

I'm not being a hard ass here. I'm trying to get to ONE OF the core issues at play here.

???

I think the core issue is that he's already lost 250 lbs. Yet, you're acting like he's defeating himself somehow. I don't understand why you're trying to dig around for some deep-rooted issue. Dude, he's already lost a ton of weight. Pat him on the back and tell him that he's doing an awesome job (because he is). Don't poke at him and try to create some sort of issue that doesn't exist.

He's overweight, he knows he's overweight, he knows he needs to lose weight and he's doing it quite successfully. Leave it at that.

well my first 100 of that 250 was forced lol i was in prison for a while and when i got out my grandparents made me walk quite a bit...and the next 75 pounds was prolly due to diabetese (however you spell it) then the next 75 was hard work and dieting ithink DW's concern is just that i do this healthy...and not drastic hard core military i understand his views and respect them.......chef it also means alot to me that you would defend me :Dcuz i respect you too man alot.....fact is i due have trouble loosing weight that 250 pounds was nothing i was totally un-educated on how to do this and fighting alot of demonds i know DW's just helping me find the root....my "drug addiction" has been food and i need to break through them so i really enjoy all the help i get from here seriously its such a great networking tool and extremely helpful
 
ok so to finish off the day i had a nice quesadilla witha low carb tortilla and white cheese plenty of veggies and chicken fajitas
 
You sound like you are doing awesome.
You are someone I admire for all the hard work you did and are still doing.
I have about 80lbs to lose, I wish I can pull 100lbs,and you still lost more which is awesome because you show me that it can be done, it's not impossible like it seems at the moment.

Thank you and I hope you continue to do this because truly you have done wonderful and you'll be at your goal in no time. I think it will all be worth it for you and me, even if it is hard work and a pain in the butt.
 
thank you very much i hear alot of that from different people but in my eyes i am just a nother guy struggling to get through this....i am very open with m6y struggles even after the 250 weight loss because i wanna let people know it doesnt get amazingly easier after you loose almost half the fight gets harder in my opinion....but thank you so very much it makes me wanna keep pushing

I totally feel you.
I once lost a good amount of weight, It was awesome.
But now you'd think having the tools from before, it'd be easier? Well it's not. Its much more harder. I think that we just need to push on because life is too darn short to live in misery.

Sometimes I think we have to say to ourselves, yes this is hard, yes I crave this and that, and if we fall back to our old ways, sure it might make us happy for a month maybe even 2, but then we'd get motivated again to lose weight and by then we'd be looking at another 20lbs to lose, so I think we need to step up NOW and control it NOW before it gets worse.

I weighed myself yesterday and I couldnt believe my eyes, I tried BOTH my scales out lol, and the number wasnt lieing. I gained 10lbs...GREAT!

Seriously, we just need to suck it upppp and keep it uppp.
Or else...a month or two from now..we r still gonna feel like (Sh*t).

yepppieee:nopity:
 
Thought that I was all alone
Broken and afraid
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me

And I didn’t even know
That I had lost my way
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me

‘Til You opened up my eyes
I never knew
That I couldn’t ever make it
Without You

Even though the journey’s long
And I know the road is hard
Well, the One who’s gone before me
He will help me carry on
After all that I’ve been through
Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God


As I travel on the road
That You have lead me down
You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me
I have need for nothing more
Oh, now that I have found
That You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me

I confess from time to time
I lose my way
But You are always there
To bring me back again

Sometimes I think of where it is I’ve come from
And the things I’ve left behind
But of all I’ve had, what I possessed
Nothing can quite compare
With what’s in front of me

Love it!

If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me Luke 9:23
