I have no self control when trying to lose weight

89% Normal
5 Comments

I'm okay in the morning and during the day but when I get home from work I can't control myself and I eat plenty during the day. I eat healthy, vegetables lean meat and all that but I go over my calorie limit at night with dried fruits and nuts and other stuff. My mind is taken over by a different person and I cannot keep the promise I made to myself earlier.

    I remember reading somewhere that the majority of times you think you're hungry you're actually just thirsty ..
    I tell myself that every time I get a craving and just get something nice to drink :)

    Are you obese? If not then chances are you don't need to lose weight in the first place.

    Normal. Lots of people have trouble with dieting, so that's why the diet industry got so huge by selling dietary/weight loss aids.

    You practically described me as well.

    Save the carb-heavy foods for later in the day, they only make you hungrier. Drink coffee in the morning to stave off your first meal.

    Cravings are insulin-driven, it's why skinny people tend to stay skinny and fat people stay fat. Next time you get a craving: set your timer for 20 minutes. Only eat if you're still hungry afterwards.

    Losing self-control is never normal. I have no clue what the solution to this would be though.
