Someone on this board posted how they remained slim.
I know what to eat to lose weigt and stay slim. I know exactly what to do. Just, I'm not very good at it. If I ate a little bowl of porridge, a sandwich and little yogurt and piece of fruit at lunch and veggies, small portion of fish/meat and a fist full of carb in the evening with a small pudding I could lose weight. Here's where it goes wrong, that bowl of porridge, when I have one bowl I want five more, when I wake up I crave coffee and chocolate, and by 10-15:00 I crave eating to lift my mood. I don't want four squire of a chocolate bar. I want a 100 gram bar. I don't want a slice of breAd, I want the loaf. After breakfast I look forward to my next meal and food is on my mind far more than it should be.
When I start eating sensibly food becomes more on my mind.
So it's easy in theory but in practice in finding it tough. I had been doing well but the last few days had gone off the rails.
If I don't think about my approach every minute, if I relax. I will just gobble up whatever I come across.
I have terrible pmt and sometimes low mood too. Not a major excuse but when I was younger I would approach healthy eating with enthusiasm (yes really).
Now, I just want quantity and it's always stodge. Of course, it's greed but if I'm not eating loads, and I mean over eating (yes I now I'm an emotional eater, but I can't turn back the clock... I wish I wasn't and well done if you are not an emotional eater) I have realised I feel pretty miserable - I'm hoping this is because this has become a habit and once I have changwd myifestyle for a long time it will get easier.
I know I am weak, and need to get a grip but I would appreciate if anyone has advicw or support.
How do you lot reduce your appetite?
Is anyone else like me, I could just eat all day long if I let myself.
What do you enjoy doing that doesn't involve food?
