Answer 1

Eat regularly so that you don't feel starved. Also do something when you have the urge, like work on a hobby, go for a walk, take a shower.

Answer 2

Congratulations on your weight loss, to answer your question, find something to do that takes your mind off food...or better yet, when you have a craving outside of your normal eating go for a walk. Cravings last approximately 20 minutes so by walking you're not only defeating the craving but burning calories and helping your fitness level. Just make sure you're keeping within the daily caloric intake and vitamin levels necessary to be healthy.

Aah, that's tough.
Well, in my own personal case, if I start eating something considered "bad", then I'm unable to stop eating it.
I don't know if that's how it is for you, but I'm just saying.

Well, I know you'll most likely get a lot of answers telling you this but, try doing something that'll take your mind off it.
Read a book, go outside and do something, listen to music, sleep, etcetc.
However, this doesn't work with me either.

What you could also do is right down in a journal or on a piece of paper how you feel about your body, how you feel about food, and how much you want to keep the fat off.

Also, if you just can't stay away from those foods, make them, but healthier. For burgers, try lean meat and use lettuce, tomato, etc.
For pizza, try a little bit of cheese and top it with a lot of veggies.
For bread, don't eat white, eat WHOLE GRAIN.

There's always a healthy solution to junk food, in my opinion.

Good luck. :]

I know this may sound like a wierd angle. But you could try hypnosis. I know its a bit different, but since you've tried so hard it would be a shame for all that work to be wasted. Hypnosis has a good record if you have an open mind. You could try and do it so that you stay motivated to keep off the bad food. If you combine that with everything else such as eating healthy it should work. Its worth a shot, I reckon.

Answer 5

Think about how bad you used to feel before you lost weight and how good you feel now that you're so close to your goal weight.

Answer 6

Good for you! That's fantastic progress - and no, you aren't going to put it all back on. One of the things that really helped me control my weight (and also control thinking about food) was to give myself something to do. I learned how to knit, how to crochet, and how to embroider - you can't be thinking about food when you're counting stiches, and you can't munch on stuff while your hands are busy.
Just a suggestion, but it worked for me. Plus it solved all my gift problems - I knit, crocheted and embroidered stuff for all my family!

Answer 8

allow yourself small portions of what u crave-just dont over do it. if u dont allow yourself to eat anything u crave-eventually u will give in and eat TONS.
