Well I'm at 380 from 427 and it seems like everyone is always trying to get me to eat something unhealthy or tell me what I'm doing wrong. It's always the same thing. I'm so paranoid when I mess up I get this attitude like owell I messed up for the day I might as well keep messing up. It's so hard going out to eat or eating at families house. Monday threw Friday I'm good eat good work gym the weekends this urge for sweets and snacks and eating out becomes so hard....I don't know I'm hard on my self if I mess up....I don't know what to do
 
Hi Gerard,
I'm the same sometimes, well I've been really good for a few weeks now, but I used to think the same way. If I ate one bad thing, say a chocolate biscuit, I'd think, stuff it, may as well have the rest of the packet etc. Once I started I'd just keep having more and more .
It's not easy to break bad habits - you just have to keep trying :)
Keep your chin up, and just try and focus on the weekends. You could try and write a plan for what you're going to have and put it on the fridge or something to keep you reminded?
I think you're doing great so far!

I have the same problem! I have a fiancee who likes to eat whatever he wants, cheese burgers, chips with cheese, the works!

The problem with me is if I eat that stuff my butt grows two sizes in a week!

You really need to be firm with your decisions. If you know that weekends are hard for you, pack snacks and foods that are healthy and bring them with you when you go out.

Also if you just HAVE to eat out and you have to eat something bad for you, get a to-go box right when your food comes and put half away so you don't eat the whole plate.

Especially when I go out with groups of friends it's very hard for me because I'm 25 and all of my friends eat cheese burgers and drink beer all day. If I decide to have a beer or cookies or whatever I make sure to tell myself that I HAVE to work it off later. So I make sure to go to bed an hour earlier so I can get up and work out in the morning and then again in the evening the next day.

I think the most important thing is to be firm with your friends! My friends do the same thing, they will say things like "what? you're not drinking, why not....just have one!!"

It's very hard to say no but you have to remember what you're working for.

I've started saying "No thanks, I've just got really good will power today and I don't want any."

Thanks for all the lifting words...today and yesterday has been a big disaster. It's like when I'm stresses I want to hurt my self by eating. I'm getting married this weekend and I'm just depressed for messing up these last two days. I don't know what to do when I eat it makes this empty feeling go away...anyways this forum is the only place I can go to talk bout it
