Tips for fighting off unhealthy food cravings?

[ButterflyXkisses]

Currently I'm a pescatarian, but I'd love to go back vegetarian. I'm just scared to because last time I was vegetarian I got pretty hefty by making poor food choices, i. e., lots of cheese and breads and pasta (with more cheese and bread on the side). I need some good tips on how to fight the temptation! Because apparently I have no self control and should not be allowed to make my own food choices.

I'm looking to shed some extra fat and tone up, and avoid gaining back all the weight I'd put on previously so this is very important to me. Also, I'd just like to feel healthier and be healthier and take good care of my body for once in my life.

number one tip and probably best tip, start slow. if you have those crazy cravings for bread then take baby steps towards your goal by switching out white bread with wheat bread for example, then cutting the portion sizes smaller over time, etc etc. people usually always fail diets and workouts because they decide to start at the extreme level and end up not being able to do it for obvious fucking reasons LOL and then give up and go back to their old habits. start slow and at your own pace, take it day by day and trust me you will be victorious and shine! :D

Yeah knowing me I'd try to cut it all out at once and never look back and then lapse and be sad about it.

its cool a lot of people try to do that because they want their desires results ASAP. but knowing this and admitting it will help you start taking it day by day.

By following your advice and taking the pressure off I've actually been able to eat a lot better already.

Now that I'm slowly on the path to giving up bad foods, I should really focus on getting a little muscle. I is too soft.

hahaa you are a little squishy? :D that is cute so don't worry about that ^-^ buuutttt if you wanna gain some then more power to you!

[ButterflyXkisses]

Haha its mostly my thighs I'm concerned about, and my tummy, I'd prefer it be completely flat, although I've come a long way.

[BertMacklinFBI]

oooh how long has your journey been?

[ButterflyXkisses]

Four months give or take. Most of the weight I lost was due to stress, but I figured if it's coming off I'm gonna work to keep it off. I've lost almost 30 pounds and I didn't even work to do it, where's the pride in that?

[BertMacklinFBI]

4 months not bad! you're over the hill already :D and true that, working for it has such a better feeling than not working for it lol. heyy im proud of you :D

My biggest weakness is still cheese haha but I'm working on it.

[BertMacklinFBI]

hey I love cheese hahaa. and cheese is actually a good source of dairy just eat it within moderation lol.

[ButterflyXkisses]

Moderation is my problem haha.

[BertMacklinFBI]
