is it normal to be miserable while dieting?

Question

ok so im one of those people who "live to eat". im on my third attempt at dieting, but ive realized dieting makes me miserable. am i an anomaly or is this normal? and how can i fix it?

Answer 1

if you truly love to eat then switching to whole foods and cooking meals should be easy. if you seem to be predisposed for easy weight gain then trying to manage the weight with out exercise is just about impossible

Answer 2

I'm one of those people too. Strangely enough, I find myself in a sport which dictates that the participant "must" maintain a healthy and "strict" diet (wrestling). While many practices concerning food in wrestling may not always be healthy, I do try to maintain a nutritious and weight-regulating diet (at least during wrestling season). And yes....I'm miserable while doing it.

If you just want to eat more healthily, then moderation and balance is the key. Although, a loose, at best, plan catered to your needs would be ideal. That way you can stick to your goals. Even though it may be hard, It also helps to have a positive outlook; focus on the good, not the bad.

Hi fear of......

I too LOVE food and ENJOY eating. This has caused me to become about 30 pounds over weight. Unfortunately, I learned that I am a compulsive over eater. I realized that in order to lose the weight and keep it off I needed to figure out why I LOVE food and over eat, and then fix it.

I read this great book called, "Taming of the Chew", which has helped me to solve and correct the problem. I highly recommend this book if you suspect that you may have a eating disorder of any kind. Without correcting an eating disorder problem, a person will never be successful at losing weight AND keeping it off.

Now to help me lose the 30 pounds I gained this is what I'm currently doing.

A couple of weeks ago I heard about a weight loss drug called phentermine 37.5mg from a girl who lost about 25 pounds in 2 months using it. Her cousin lost about 50 pounds in 3 months using phentermine 37.5mg. Naturally I was interested in phentermine 37.5 mg and began to do some research on it. After my research I decided to give it a try.

I ordered my phentermine (37.5 mg) on 4/19/07 from a website called US-Pills.com. I received my order in 6 days, 4/25/07. They do have express shipping if you want to receive your order sooner. I paid $199.00 for 90 pills, which is a 3 month supply. I know that sounds expensive, but I checked NUMEROUS web sites and this site seemed to have the best prices and also seemed to be a legit site. If you can get a prescription from your doctor it would be a lot cheaper. Unfortunately, my doctor refused to provide me a prescription because she said I was not obese and she only will prescribe phentermine to obese patients.

I've been taking my phentermine (37.5 mg) since 4/26/07 and I can tell already that it's working!! Here are some of my results so far. I feel like I'm melting. My closes are fitting loser and when I look at myself in the mirror after I get out of the shower I look smaller.

My phentermine came with instructions, which instructed me to take 1 pill per day in the morning 30 minutes prior to breakfast. I take my pill as soon as I get up and go to the gym about 30 minutes later. I feel so energized and have the best workouts then I have had in a long time. I am able to work out longer and harder. I eat my breakfast when I get home from the gym. I'm not hungry all day and have no cravings for sweets or bad foods like I normally would before I started using phentermine. Because I no longer have the bad cravings I eat healthy small meals throughout the day. Since I'm not hungry anymore, I'm probably consuming about 800-1000 calories per day. The only side effect I have experienced so far is dry mouth. The dry mouth causes me to drink a ton of water, which is great anyway for weight loss success. I'm now drinking about 80 ounces of water a day. Before phentermine I had to force myself to drink water and only drunk about 20-30 ounces a day.

I'm very excited about this product. I believe I finally found something that will help me reach my weight loss goal.

I help this was helpful to you. Good luck!!
