WTH Is It So Damn Difficult...

To stick to a diet....

From like nov 2002 to march 2003 i went from 260 to 200. It was awesome, and dieting was so damn easy cause i was working 6 days a week (50+hrs) and i had no time to wonder about my fav foods.

I am one of those people that live to eat..instead of eat to live.. It's just that i'm still looking for another job, and hadn't have the best of years... 04 sucked for me, plus i lost my job...place closed..

So here i was/am..on unemployment...with all the time on my hands, i did squat for like 7 months...and jumped back to 250lbs.. You see, for me, losing the weight is easy..i can lose 6lbs a week with dieting and light exercise. BUT..it's sticking to the diet, and not going out at MIDNITE to go to wendys to get 2 jr bacon cheeseburgers, large fries and a sprite damnit..

Somehow, everything will fall back into place ONCE i get a job, cause when your home...you eat out of bordom...

Anyone got any helping words...

PS, it sucks to see old friends...and there like "oh you gained the weight back, HAHA", and i'm like F*CK YOU..

What the hell do you want to hear? If you didn't eat so much and got off your fat ass once in a while you wouldn't be 250lbs?

To me diets are stupid. Everyone i know doesnt stick to them. Just change what you eat and limit your intake of foods and excercise, IMO. It's better than saying I"m starting a diet. No need to do any super-duper excercises either. Just walk everyday. My parents do that, well use to and they lost the weight they wanted to felt healthier.

And it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. A diet's what you are on for awhile. Making a change to your lifestyle can be permanent.

And Solaris didn't you say you were like 6'6" (198cm) anyway? Seems like 200lbs(91kg) would be awfully thin.

i'm the same way, i love eating. Maybe its cause i'm european so we put alotta importance on dinner and food. And mostly i eat after midnight too

Thats why i say, fuck a diet... eat whatever you want, just excercise and you're good

Thanks Gotti..and others..

6'6...lol, i wish, i'm 5'8-big boned.....lol, yeah i know what you're thinking.. I'm not fat...i'm big boned...

What i have to do, is hopefully get accepted at a job...lose the weight, go back to 200..then change my way of eating, then thats it. Maintain that weight by eating healthy.

LOL, thanks for the ego boost Oz...

Gotti is right. As long as you exercise and control your eating habits, you'll be fine.
BTW if you're a fat bastard(not saying you are), be proud that you're a fat bastard. Things could be much worse.

GET IN MY BELLAYYYY!!!!

I dont know. I just got the urge.

anyways, I have two things to say. 6'6 200 would not be AWFULLY thin. I'm 6'8, and when I eat a lot, and work out a lot I weigh around 195-200. Yeah, skinny, but I havent been called lanky in years. In photos I see the difference between me when I was awfully skinny, and now, I am just thin. BTW tall guys hate the word lanky. Its like using the N word. Its seriously not cool. When I was 6'5, 155 I heard that word a lot. I Hated everybody that said it... seriously. Now days I would kick somebody's F'n ass for calling me lanky. Not because Im insecure, but just because I dont like assholes and I think they should get what they deserve.

the second thing is... I forget, but I understand about how hard it is to change your lifestyle. Sometimes I just cant make time to work out, and I cant make time to eat a lot. For me it sucks because I get skinnier than I want to be, and its too hard to do anything about it. But losing weight is easier than keeping it, so just eat healthier food, and work out.

lanky lanky lanky, you can't kick my ass cuz you are too damn skinny. I was lanky too back in the days. there is this bball player on our team -- he is 6'11" and weighs 215.....so sad.

Dude, get a friend and go together to the gym for motivation. Or goto the gym to scope girls. That's the way I do it.

Walking doesn't burn fat very efficiently. Don't get me wrong, it can feel good to go for a walk and it gets the heart pumping, but 35-45 minutes of fast paced jogging is much better for burning fat.

You only get out what you put in. If you don't want to weigh 250 lbs for the rest of your life, it is up to you and only you to change yourself. It takes some will power I understand, but it is all about how much you want it.
