How do you guys control yourself from not eating all day? I REALLY want to lose weight, and as soon as I get the okay from the doctor in 2 weeks I'll be hitting the gym, but diet is still the best way to lose weight. I'm home all day watching Emuna, generally on my own and I just constantly walk into the kitchen and grab snacks. I'm not even hungry, it's just out of boredom and not having anything else to do....

How do you guys control yourself from not walking into the kitchen and grabbing food every 20 minutes?

Maybe you could take your daughter out on walks in her stroller or take her to the park ya know? That way it gives you a bit of time to avoid food.

If you don't buy snacks you can't eat them

haha. Uhm i had the same problem thats all i wanted to was eat... well there was nothing else to do. When hawley was napping id either sleep eat or be on the computer...i have terrible self control... so im not sure how to help you.. maybe put all the snacks somewhere thats hard to get to... or have someone else grocery shop.. that helped me then i didnt get a whole bunch of crap food lol.

Maybe buy healthy snacks. Like fruit n stuff. Thats what i eat. Im eating like breakfast sometimes lunch and i eat dinner n i might have one or two snscks a day.

Lir I am the SAME WAY I am home ALL day with Emily..and there is a 711 and Mcdonolds, and popeyes across the street from my house I hate to say I am always there =x I agree with Amanda..Just buy like healthy snacks I don't know if you like cottage cheese but cottage cheese and fruit is a really good snack or veggies and dips anything that is ok to snack on but won't make u gain a lot of weight?

try healthy snacks. right after i had jake i ate a lot of carrots. now i eat baked potato chips, like a bag a day but still. haha.

and i know i didn't really want to eat when i first had jake and now all i do is eat so i totally understand. just try to remind yourself that you'll be happier skinnier. haha.

LOL I really will be happier skinner. It's so messed up, I get al upset about my weight and I start crying...so I go into the kitchen to make myself feel better and grab something.

aww lir, ha yeah i snack a ton even now it's just like saltines and stuff . but yeah just try ONLY buying fruits and veggies or healthy stuff. Tell us how you're doing girly

aw im like that now and i dont even have my baby yet! im always craving something sweet and i literally feel better after i eat like oreos or something, its no good "(
