Haven't lost a pound, and I eat extremely healthy too.

I want to cry. I don't want to restrict anymore, but it looks like my only option.

Have you tried running? You can trick your body into burning fat by mixing your routine with jogging, walking, and then sprinting. Your body won't have time to adjust. This has worked for me in the past. I have trouble losing weight too. I used to use diet coke to lose weight and that definitely messed up my body.

I also found that doing weights has helped. I gain muscle a lot faster than I lose weight, which is rare. Give it a try!

I know exactly what you mean. A few years back, I had nightmares about how fat I was getting. Seriously, I was thinking about it at school and at work.

I was so good for the whole day when it came to eating. I would eat fruit all day and then at night, I had to eat. I ate pizza pops, chocolate cakes, ichiban noodles. I just couldn't help it. I would stand in front of the fridge or the cubboards and fight with myself. Then, I would lose the fight eat it all and feel like crap at the end. And, nothing gets rid of the urge. Even today I struggle not to do it. And it isn't even because I'm hungry. It's a habit. Like any habit, you just have to stop cold turkey. The only problem with that is that you can't give up food completely. And so, you have to balance. Really, if you struggle like I do, all you can do is think about it. Think really hard. Say to yourself "How good will this taste, really?" "am I hungry?" "Will I hate myself afterwards?" Obviously, it's human nature to want the big reward right away. We have trouble holding off for the reward down the line. So, we want the food NOW. Like any human being, you have to keep thinking and talking yourself through it. If you need help, please feel free to email me anytime. I will happily talk you through it.
