Ht. 5'7, Wt. 160ish - Ok i have a major problem, i used to be really dedicated to losing weight and i loved when it when i was because with each pound i lost i felt that i was feeling better and looking better. For the past year i've gained 25 pounds which i lost 2 years ago and when i get back on track i lose like 5 pounds then i go off of my diet again and i'm right back to where i started and it really sucks. I get home earlier from school because i have a spare at the end of the day so i come home and i eat, but thats not my only problem, i do not to bad on the week days but once the weekends come i totally lose it and go crazy on eating ice cream and cookies, chips, u name it i eat it. I was wondering what all of you do on the weekends to stay on ur diet and not go overboard?? Like when i go out to a reaturant with my friends or to a friends house i can't help but stuff my face. If any of u have suggestions that will help me not go all crazy on the weekends because i can't have junk food that would greatly be appreciated.

Reply from Shekina, Age 17 - 09/18/05 - IP#: 156.56.122.xxx I understand. I have so much trouble on the weekends too. Maybe just try to eat the things you like on the weekend but like half as much. It's hard I know. I just came to the point where I was like I just have to do it, cause I am so sick of being fat and everything. I just had to be honest with myself, that I knew how to do it and didn't want to but I know I should for my health and happiness, and it will so be worht it so keep your chin up and try to stay focused.
Reply from Catherine, Age 16 - 09/18/05 - IP#: 67.160.93.xxx You sound just like me. I did almost the exact same thing. A few years ago I lost 25 pounds and then in like 2 years I gained like 55 pounds. And I would lose 10 then gain it back then lose 5 then gain it back. Well 3 weeks ago I made a promise to myself that I was just going to do it. So far I have lost 18 pounds. The weekdays I do great, but the weekends are tough because you dont have school. Yesterday I wanted to eat so bad, I just had the urge to snack all day, but I didn't I talked myself out of it and had 94% fat free popcorn (250) for a whole big size bag and that helped my snack attack. I ended up having 1300 calories total. Today I am so glad I didn't overeat. I just kept busy and thats what you have to do. 1) Talk yourself out of it 2) find something to do. What I did was looked through a bunch of magazines that I haven't looked at for a while and then called my friend to go to the movies.
