I Can't stick with a diet!?

May 16th, 2008 · 5 Comments



I have been on a 1200 calorie diet…but I keep screwing it up! I always go back to eating my normal calorie intake..How can I stick to a diet?
I am 115 pounds, 5'5; I know that I'm not fat, but I just want to lose about 8 pounds, because thats how much I USE to weigh. I have gained a bunch of "pudgy" pounds, and I can't fit into my jeans anymore! How frustrating!

How can I lose this weight realitively easy? I am sick of having to count every calorie, and stress out about what I'm eating..is there a way I can diet without having to count calories?

      the truth is the diet means nothing you have toxins in your body that preve4nt you losing weight. you to do cleanses and eat. Also when you are stressed you gain weight so dont take everyone so seriously

      You just described me perfectly! In terms of the height, weight and putting on some pudge :) What I do is be pretty strict about my diet monday-friday, and then loosen up a bit on the weekends. It makes it a lot easier. I also work out 4 times a week, though…

      Now don't go nuts and eat nothing but fried foods on the weekends…but just allow yourself a little here and there in order to keep you sane.

      you don't even have to diet. maybe your metabolism is just slower than others. diets don't usually work because when you eat less your body has less energy to use for things like metabolism. it also depends on the contents of your diet. it should be a balanced diet like having dairy's, meats, wheat, vegetables, and fruit. you can also do simple everyday things like walking around your block or jogging or riding a bike to a nearby store
