I guess I'm back! I gained back 60 pounds last year and my weight keeps bouncing between 195-210, and my waist keeps going from 39 to about 44 inches -- ouch! The school nurse does body fat percentages, and today I was marked as now being in the 40-50% range, so now I plan on sticking to a diet. My problem is that I get TONS of cravings for everything. I started keeping a food journal, and my calorie range is usually 3000-4000 calories a day, but I can't stop eating when I'm full and pigging out between meals! Anyone have any tips for cravings?
