Dear Righteous,\n\nIt is wise of you to observe that your environment is inspiring you to eat more.\n\nMany people do not ever achieve this particular wisdom.\n\nTwo things can happen:\n\n1. The easy part: you can change certain things about your environment such as using TV sparingly, avoiding places where food is the center of attention, making new friends who place value on physical health and fitness, and other ideas you might come up with.\n\n2. The harder part: you can change the way you respond to your environment ... learning to focus on what you want rather than on what you don't want, nurturing your inner emotional life so that you don't "live to eat", and other inner-life oriented changes.\n\nGood luck on your new venture.

Eat when youre hungry!  I dont understand how people can starve themselves... That being said, dont stuff yourself when you eat.  Eat until you're full.  Make sure you drink a full 8oz WHILE youre eating.  Chew every bite as if it might be your last.  This will make you get full faster and eat less.  You should eat every 2-3 hours.  Make sure youre drinking water all day as well.  Keep lots of snacks at your desk and try to avoid eating more than one at a time and less than 2 hours after the last one.  Things I keep at work: soy chips, raw almonds, yogurt, kashi dry cereal, weight control oatmeal, Pria (energy/protein bars).  That way I can eat what I feel like.  Keep it to only serving (I actually count out the chips I can eat and put the rest of the bag away before I start).  You should find yourself eating 5-8 times per day.  Make sure youre getting at least 1000 cal per day (visit www.thedailyplate.com if you dont want to keep track of your cal yourself).  Most importantly, remember that a "diet" should be a lifestyle change.  Don't do anything you can't stick with long term or you'll see all the weight you lose just come back.

You're going to hate me, but eat less and exercise more.\n\nI mean, find something you like to do and promise yourself you will do it at least x times a week. (I promise myself I'll run at least 3 times a week, take at least two long walks and do yoga 4 times). \n\nAs for food, I am a huge snacker, so my big thing is to write things down when I eat them. It keeps me remembering that I'm eating (yes, I know that sounds lame, but otherwise, I tend to stand in the kitchen and stuff things in my mouth while I'm reading the mail or whatever.) I count calories, but I think I'd do that in my sleep at this point.\n\nMy last suggestions is to find something you adore and make sure you make room in your "diet" for it. I adore really great dark chocolate. I end each evening with a small piece of wonderful chocolate (about 75 calories). It makes me feel good to know that it is waiting for me. It also makes it easier to say "no" to the rest of the temptations in the day.\n\nOK - one more "final" suggestion. I try to remind myself that this is not a case of deprivation, but rather that I'm taking care of myself. Pampering my body with good food and good exercise. I try to work in things like doing my nails and taking bubble baths, but that seems to fall off the page often.\n\nBefore I risk sounding like I have this all figured out, let me admit that I would love to drop 5 - 10 pounds, but... I'm energetic, my husband thinks I look great (yes, he's a guy, but still...) and my doctor tells me that I'm at an ok weight (although she'd love it if I were a bit lighter, too.)\n\nHope this helps.

just eat sensibly. less of the junk food, more of the veggies & moderate consumption of meat & sugar-laced food.

Eat more veggies,  If you eat less meat they will slaughter less cows, keep smaller heards, and have less methane as a result  ;)

Ok first off, calm down. This is simply nothing, just dont let yourself consuming anymore. Your body is simply craving for more energy, which means your diet is wrong. Best to eat full with 4 to 6 little snacks in a day. This keep you going with an energized body all the time without letting you slip off the routine. Now we have to plan how we are going to do this.\n At first, start with a journal what kind of food you're usually thinking of. If it's bad, replace it with something more healthy. Like when you're devastated for a coke, go make/buy yourself a nice strawberry smoothie that not only helps your sking but also your skin and diet. When think of a burger, take off a trip to your kitchen to make yourself a delicous sandwich filled with lettuce, 1 to 2 slices of fresh ham/turkey and a bit of nonfat cheese. See? Easy. Be creative and think of some more. Not only that, you also save your money by eating food that makes you slim. If you are desperately craving for food, that means something is wrong in your HEAD. Your brain is invaded with some sorts of stress. Think about it, why am i eating when i'm not even that hungry? Am I stressed about something coming up or already happend? You can certainly consulted to your psychologist about this too. Remember, control yourself in any circumstances.

Eat more frequently but in smaller portions. Of course, exercise as well. See your doctor for advice.

Eat less.  Exercise more.\n\nIt's as simple as that.

Eat when you do not feel like eating.\nKeep your meals more regular, dont wait too long to eat.\nEat your largest meal in the morning or by noon hour.\nEat more fruits. Eat salads, endless cold veggies. Basically eat veggies for snacks. Fats crave more fatty foods, and sugar craves more sugar food. When you eat more fruits and vegetables regularly you will actually crave for less fatty, salty, sugary foods.

I am in the same predicament you are in. My doctor is telling me stuff I already know and i have no will power. like tonight i ate 3 bags of m&ms and a king sized twix but i will start tomorrow a new and try not to eat that crap.  what I do is excersice with a friend always because if I didnt i would do it. Its motivation. and I use a smaller plate so it can look full for the eyes and when I cook I only cook enough for 1 serving so when I want some more its none so I have to drink water to get full. Yeah, sometimes I dont always follow my rules but I wake up everyday and try again and harder. I havent weighed myself in a while because when i do and see that I have lost weight, my mind goes " what are you doing? lets eat more" and i gain it back but the best thing is to Wake up everyday and start brand new each day. if you break a day, its ok, try again. What I have learned is to not stop eating what you eat(as long if its not too much junk)just eat less of it. and excercise like crazy. oh, I also have been eating alot of fruits. I really dont like all the fruit thats available to me locally but i eat what i like apples, oranges, grapes, watermelon, strawberries, i just eat a different one a day.its called food rotating. Lucky with my job, one of my clients love to walk so 2 days out the week i have a good walk and my other client has to excercise more, so i motivate her by excercising with her and get strength training incorparated into those days. oh, i try to eat at least 6 times a day. breakfast lunch and dinner and 3 snacks but i dont always succeed, but i am losing weight, something i am doing is right because i can feel it in my feet and legs and sides where my bra is. hey, if you want a person to talk to about your days to give you motivation to keep trying im here for you sweety. so good luck. if you want to eat fast foods, try nuggets instead of burgers. and eat tacos. the whole point is to burn more calories than  you eat. good luck.

Be creative! Put a picture of your favorite model or one of you when you were thinner on the frigerator.  Get inspired.  Eat less and move more.  It worked for me!
