Weight loss thread

Can you not snack on more salad? carrot? raw cabbage? that kind of thing? Could that help to take away the hunger pains and also to fool your body into believing that it's being fed more too?

Drinking a lot of water can help with hunger pains

I might have some more fruit if I get really bad. Its sugar I am craving. I even have a bit of a headache. I think I might be physically addicted to chocolate! But I need encouragement that I can do this... no giving in .... because I need to lose weight and I have very little willpower.

Yep I've been trying that too, thanks

That sounds horrible Paula. At least you know why you are gaining weight, but its not much consolation I bet.

No, it's not much consolation at all, i never lose it as quickly as I gain it. It's really upsetting me today, though I've been feeling particularly rough and keep falling asleep upright on the sofa, so that's not helping. And of course, one of the symptoms is depression .....

Paula - - how long does it usually take to stabilise?

Awake at 5am, hungry. I've had a banana, that seemed to help. Wow, this is hard.

About 2 months

I lost off some ( few in fact) inches of my back and breast, but not an inch off my waist.

I've been on diet, but it's all hormonal problems I guess.

They say that your boobs are the first to lose weight and last to gain weight. I don't know if that's true though!!!

My weight is falling, so the pain is worth it. All I have done is cut out my chocolate intake from my diet, so its perfectly safe.

to everyone who needs them. Dieting sucks.
