Just some quick wieghtloss tips
- Dont deny yourself anything use portion control, its easier to only have one sweet or one chocolate if they are individually wrapped.
- Look at when and why we binge, bordem, stress, depression ect (you will not loose weight untill you have worked out the underlying causes).
- Craving sugar, dont cut it out cold turkey, sugar is an addiction as bad as smoking and alcohol. Reduce the intake slowly you will be more likely not to binge.
- Dont reward yourself with food, use another means of reward. Just because you have been good today doesnt mean you can go and have 2 slices of cake tommorow.
From someone that has managed to loose 30kg (through the help of a weight psychologist) hope these tips help

Thank you trust me its taken a lot of hard work and delving into other places I never thought i would go (it amazing how much of weight gain is psychological). I still have lots of work to do (about 20kg still from my goal weight) but im working at it and I sent out good wishes to all those that are starting or continuing their journies.Car Loan [STRIKE]$4471.47[/STRIKE] $1,254.70, CC1 Approx $4900, CC2 $108.00, HECS (student loan) $26,213 Total Debt - [STRIKE]$35,712.76[/STRIKE] $32,475.70DFD - September 2014Savings: Not smoking pot $397.98 (16/7/10), House Deposit $11,925.24 (16/7/10)Savings Total - [STRIKE]$12,013.06[/STRIKE] 12,323.22NSD Challenge June: 15/15 July: 9/120
