Meandering

I took myself out for a car ride this afternoon. Some part of me wanted to get lost in the city, just driving around, being a part of the Phoenix afternoon. However, I found that it is almost impossible to lose direction here because I ended up, accidentally, exactly where I needed to be ( Read more... )

Boy do I relate to this statement: "Making a big deal out of it will only doom it from the beginning."

I've decided to make a conscious effort to watch my portions. I eat way more than I need to and don't stop when I am full. I am doing this because I know if I go on a diet and start restricting what I eat instead of how much I will inevitably fail.

Let me know how those supplements work for ya!

Growing up in an Italian family, the words "portion control" never existed. It is by far the hardest habit to break for me, besides bored/emotional eating.

Does the supplement boost your metabolism as well?

I've always wondered about that kind of thing.

This one is just an appetite suppresant. There is sooo much selection! I need a pill that allows me to lose weight while I sleep. Now that, I would pay good money for.

Its doomed because NOT eating will cause your body to go into starvation mode. Eat lots of SMALL healthy meals throughout the day. Sure you will lose weight but what happens when you stop taking the pills? You will baloon back up.
No diet program is complete without excerise. Your college educated I'm sure you know that but if you're at the point that you want to take a pill, your just looking for a quick fix anyway.
I'm assuming your in your 20s so lets just say.. it took 10 years to put on the weight, its going to take time to take it off too.

I'm assuming that you don't really know me that well. If you did, then you would realize that I am a fat girl and I will always be a fat girl. Believe me, I've seen my moher go through so many fad diets with no avail. I'm not trying to lose 50 pounds, I just want to be healthier. The main reason why I'm taking the supplements is to condition myself into not being hungry all the time, especially when I'm bored or at midnight. Pretty simple.
