i can't stop eating

My dress fitting is on Friday and I am so worried my dress won't fit.

I have had no ability to avoid food the last few weeks. I wish stress did not cause me to eat!

Any tips to help shed a few pounds in the 3 weeks I have left.

You will be fine!! we always think its worse than it is!!! I am sure your dress willjust fine!!

I try toeat 5 meals a day...lots of veggies and protein and it helps me stay fuller longer!

i cant stop eating either! it's insane. every day i keep telling myself, 'today is the day i start being serious about my diet' and it never happens!

i tend to lose weight when i eat breakfast/lunch/dinner - protein and carbs (using brown rice and wheat bread instead of white rice/bread)

and small snacks throughout the day like fruit and granolda bars and yogurt

i just have to start doing that!

I can't stop eating either lately!!! ugghh My slip barely fits as it is.... why won't I stop?

I've been spending extra time doing cardio to try to balance it out. And something about seeing how freakin' long it takes to actually BURN those calories has helped curve my out-of-control eating a little...

i am really wishing i had picked a less form fitting dress!!! I was almost 10 pounds thinner when I ordered it :(

keep some healthy snacks around so you have no excuse to binge on junk instead of healthy food when you get stressed!!!

i keep some almonds and dried cherries with me at all times!!

teatea tea tea . .. it really helps me

---

i can totally drink tea!

This is probably the worst diet advice ever, but with 3 weeks to go id stick to caffiene and small amounts of junk food lol. I totally agree with the tea situation especially if ur stressed.

(I know, such healthy advice).

My mom always said 'its dinner or dessert, never both.' It might not be healthy, but i swear, in the game of counting calories it works, and ur way less likely to eat a salad, 30 almonds, 4 apples, an orange and THEN reach for the chocolate bar if u just eat half the chocolate bar first and call it a day.

Oh boy! I'm laughing about the last post about the candy bar - I like that advice! Anyway, I had a VERRRRY stressful day at work, then came home to pet messes everywhere (my cat has a peeing problem) so needless to say - I GOT WENDYS tonight!!!!!

I compromised: Got a grilled chx sandwich so I could eat fries. Not TOO, TOO bad, right?

I feel the same way! If we had ballgowns we wouldn't have to worry!

The way I lose weight in a pinch is by doing absolutely NO carbs, NO sugar (not even fruit).
Like literally I'll eat:

Breakfast: 1 cup fat free cottage cheese
Snack: low sodium V8 vegetable juice
lunch: mixed green salad w/ veggies, oil & vinegar, grilled chicken (or shrimp, or steak)
Snack: low fat string cheese
dinner: grilled fish or chicken (or tofu) with green veggies
Snack: sugar free jello pudding (a lifesaver!)

Instead of soda, drink lots of water and crystal light.
No alcohol
Watch your sodium intake! It bloats you..

**this is REALLY hard to do, and it's not necessarily the healthiest, but IT WORKS...this is a sample day of South Beach Diet Phase 1..DO NOT eat like this for more than 2 weeks. You are gonna go through mega carb withdrawals but you will slim down perfectly in 2 weeks. FM me if you have any more questions.
