Ht. 5'4", Wt. - - I am going crazy! Every time I try to start eating healthier, I can't stay motivated and fall back into old eating habits. How can I stay motivated to eat healthy when there's junk food right in front of me? Help please!

Reply from Kaylee, Age 14 - 06/16/06 - IP#: 66.82.9.xxx You are so right Alexis!! You need to eat breakfast!! it's so important!! even if you don't feel hungry it's best to eat something!! Just remember if you have a big breakfast you have all day to work it off!! But if you have a big dinner and then a desert at 8 at night you arn't going to be working it off!! Fuel your body the right way and it will thank you!!
Reply from alexis, Age 13 - 06/16/06 - IP#: 64.12.117.xxx yes but dont listen to the "dont eat breakfast" part. BREAKFAST IS YOUR ENERGY!!! if you dont eat breakfast your body will go into starvation mode and will hold onto the fat in every food you eat, no matter hwo healthy,so EAT BREAKFAST! and i no this because i have a nutritionist.

Reply from alexis, Age 13 - 06/16/06 - IP#: 64.12.117.xxx just say " i no if i eat this i am wasting all of my time and ill never get any thinner." There is many healthy alternatives and just stay focused and think "i need 2 take this seriously or im wasting my time". GOOD LUCK =)
Reply from Kaylee, Age 14 - 06/16/06 - IP#: 66.82.9.xxx Try getting rid of the junk foods and bring healthy food into the house. Also if you want something sweet get 100 cal packs or ever real cookies. Just make sure you only eat 1 cookie a day!! I know that my eating habits changed a lot when I stared asking my mom for healthier things like yogurt, bananas, apples, and a smoothie maker!! Yum!! But there are always cookies around my house and icecream. Because I have junk at my house I have just had to learn self control. I will eat 1 cookie a day but I will take like 1/4 of the cookie and I will leave the ketchen before I eat it. That way I don't eat the whole cookie and then go back for more. It really helps. Also try and stay away from food unless your hungry and when your hungry think of something healthy to eat befor you go and get it. YOu can do it!! It's self control at 1st but then it becomes habit!! Good Luck!!

Reply from Megan, Age 14 - 06/16/06 - IP#: 67.11.151.xxx Just think of something healthlier to eat like fruit or some other diet food you like and stick with it! Have you printed the posted they have here with the pig?
