Aaaah, trying to lose weight can be such a frustrating thing to do!!! I keep looking at my weight loss ticker which I so happily installed a year back, and it moves down a notch occasionally, and then it surely moves up again. After Christmas and New Year, I am right back to where I started now. I have to wear my “fat pants” (you know, I am sure everybody who is trying to lose weight has at least one pair of them in their wardrobe – the only pants that are still comfortable after you reach a certain weight, the pants you wear when everything else just feels too tight), and I feel really not good. I don’t want to admit that I might actually have to start buying more pants that size, because I sure will fit back into my size 12 pants, eventually???? 
Yeah dreaming!
The problem is, I think, that the more we think about having to lose weight, the more we think about eating, and the more we seem to crave food and to eat. If we could stop ourselves from thinking about food all the time, and about diets, wouldn’t we all be much happier (and thinner)?
Many, many people who are trying to lose weight are actually stuck in the same rut – the diet yo-yo effect. Losing a few kilos (hooray!!!) and then putting them straight back on. I still tend to step on the scales at least twice a day (yes, I did not end up throwing them out, I should have!), and sometimes I am successful at losing a kilo or two, and then I am so elated that I go straight to the fridge to celebrate! How sick is that!
Emotional eating is the killer of every weight loss plan. No matter how prepared you are, if you are dealing with your emotions with food, then the emotions will take over your sound mind every time. Because they are stronger. A lot of us will have to deal with their emotional issues that make them turn to food, and find something else that will comfort us if things get tough.
Looks like I have not dealt with my emotions yet….
You can avoid eating junk foods which will help you a lot.
“Aaaah, trying to lose weight can be such a frustrating thing to do!!!” I think this line is very familiar with me. I think I’ve also used that before.
But this post is really something worth pondering upon. Especially this line “The problem is, I think, that the more we think about having to lose weight, the more we think about eating, and the more we seem to crave food and to eat.” I very much agree with this. Yet, I am still on the pursuit.

Avoid oily items in your diet. This will help alot.
Everyone seems to say these days to go ahead and eat all you want. Just concentrate on protein and good fat, like moderate amounts of olive oil and clarified butter (the best fat!). Check it out.
Finally, eat all you want as above, but drink and sip warm or room temperature water throughout the day. I drink a gallon of distilled each day, minimum.
Any honest diet doctor will agree with the water suggestion. It’s almost the best you can do for any health concern, and sooooo inexpensive.
We must have control over eating. Though we like to eat our favorite food, if we have control over it we can lose weight easily.
The only effective way to combat the “yo-yo” effect with dieting is to implement a complete lifestyle change, but one that is relaxed enough to be sustainable.
The best diet is the one you can stick to!
Hi Petra,
It seems simple, does it not. “Just eat less fat and carbs.” But we have to learn to do it like babies. We have learned too many bad habits and need a way to change them. Visit lose a pound a day to find a strategy to change your eating pattern.
I so agree that unsuccessful dieting is all to do with unresolved emotions. I’m a yo yo dieter. I start with good intentions and I exercise and eat properly, but as soon as I see some success, I want to treat myself for being so good.
Definitely an emotional response and yes, you guessed it, that treat is eating. I don’t mind whether it’s Italian, Indian, Chinese, Greek, English or any thing else as long as they have a sweet menu for afters!

Just a enough self discipline and perseverance and everything will be fine. Dieting isn’t easy but being in a huge weight is even more difficult.
Your page is simply what I was looking for at this point. I’ve never been interested in this topic and I’ve got to say your website is the first one to write it suitable.
I’ve saved your website for future reference.
It is definitely true! It is easy to say eat less carbs and more on fiber and fruits. It is frustrating when you have exhausted enough and see little to no results at all. Having said that, though it is hard, if we really want to attain something, we must strive to reach for that goal. This is the essence of self-disciple.
Generally I don’t read article on blogs, however I wish to say that this write-up very pressured me to take a look at and do so! Your writing style has been surprised me. Thank you, quite nice post.

This is the first time i’m visiting your site. I see lots of usefull stuffs in your site. Well done good job.
You are 100% right. When we are always thinking about losing weight, we are thinking about food. A good way to stop thinking about these two topics is by having your free time full with activities. If your mind is busy with something else, you will not be thinking about food all the time.

I have the same problem, but in reverse! It’s so hard to gain weight.. if I don’t stay on a strict routine, I’ll lose everything I’ve gained. Some may think a high metabolism is a blessing, but to those of us who have it, it’s a curse!
Yep! your right about when you keep on thinking about food. The more you are prone to them and the result? More eating
