It is a mind game. In the past when I told myself I am on a diet, I would want to eat everything in the refrigerator and be so hungry, because I thought I am being deprived. If you push past those kinds of thoughts, you can get active and forget about eating. Drink more water and tea between meals to quench your thirst. Be strong. You can do this.  

yeah that shit happens to me as well...cant seem to shake it thou guess im just gonna have to figure it out as i go along....will take ur advice to heart deb, hope it helps :) 

It also has a lot to do with the quality of food. Some foods just make you hungrier. Try to stick with wholesome food and you'll cut the cravings.  

You so right Deb....this was a lifestyle for me and I enjoyed it @Moe, I normally do binge eat but never to this extent..It's good to splurge not only for your mind but for your body as well...It just shouldn't happen often @NowIunderstand, I normally do eat wholesome food but family and fast food came over this weekend and messed things up!...I think I am feeling stressed coz I am meeting up with friends in two weeks time...they haven't seen me in forever and I want to impress them...I went on a fad diet and the pressure mounted when fast food came knocking on the door...well it's Monday...new beginning - will have to up the antic with excercise! xoxo 

You can still eat junk food but only in small amounts. It's easy to go over your RDI with it because it is so rich in calories. When everybody around you eats pizza you eat just a slice and then a veggies salad that will make you full. Ice cream? Sure, but only one scoop etc. Even when you mess everything up by lunch time that doesn't man you have to binge for the rest of the day. Don't get stressed out because you want your friends to notice your weight loss. If they are the jealous type like some women are, then they will not say anything. My sister and my cousin are like that.  

just reading all your comments you gave Fati i must say I feel motivated u all rock, i feel like eating today because i have pass the bad stuff over the weekend think if i ate all the stuff that came my way this weekend it would have been 5000+ calories. gonna make me another cup of tea maybe this feeling will pass. :-(  

yeah i tend to do that lol fuk up once during the day and then lose all hope for the rest of the day :x 

Emotional eating can really get to me on the weekends too, as well as, the carbs. But today is a new day and new chance to make choices that make you feel better! xoxo 

Thanks friends! Emotional eating sucks!  

Well then I guess I can consider myself lucky that I can't eat when I feel like crying. That's the reason I can't have a snack even when I'm just watching a sad movie. I got fat because I love the taste of food, not because I'm an emotional eater.  

wow in that way you very lucky!!!....just practice portion control when trying different foods...I am sure you know that though
