New here and have a question....

[samara]

How do you stay on track? Where do you find the will power? I have the hardest time trying not to eat junk, I love chocolate and sweets. In fact, I am addicted to them. What do I do?

Thanks in advance.

You will need to find motivation. It never is easy when you start out but it should get easier with time. Don't get discourged if you don't see results right away. Don't weigh yourself every week, bad bad thing to do.

Always come back here if you get into a slump, we are here for you.

Might require modification of buying habits.

Hi Samara,

Having a plan in place is really helpful. Keeping the junk out of the house is best as well. You can have a nutrition plan in place that incorporates foods you like, but still helps you to lose fat.
Also, keep reminding yourself of the reasons you want to eat healthy.

make up food diary so you are held accountable

Try and keep all the cheat foods out of your house. If its not in your kitchen, you cant cheat and will need to get in your car, drive to the store and buy the cheat food. If its within reach, its much easier to just snag it and start munching.

Couldn't agree more, I've said that before now, and on here as well .

Also buy food with Money, NO cards. Cards allow overindulgence, money runs out, you can't spend what's not about your person, so to speak.

Also make sure money is tight. So find an old receipt, work out how much the healthy food cost, by taking money spent on junk off the grand total, and then allowing for a few possible price flucatuations, take about $10-15 more than that with you next time. Then you've got just enough money for what you need.

Can't buy junk if it means sacrificing some Chicken, or some Cereal etc ect, but you can when you've got say a spare $50 to play with.

i know that it was much easier for me to keep on working out when i was working out everyday, so maybe a program helps...
Also, i always found hat watching someone else train and seeing them actually improving and getting results really gets people motivated to work out (like the rocky movies, i can't watch one without working out after)...
