I put this on strugglers but no response so ill try here.
Ive started my diet today - decided to join this forum to see if it helps, hopefully keep me focused, hopefully get support from other members and ill do the same.
Im a 23 year old man. I was always thin when i was young, until I was about 15. I started to overeat and went up to about 14 stone. I then went on a diet and got down to about 13 stone. I stayed 13 stone for a long time but gradually my weight increased and the heaviest I ever got to was 17 stone at 21 years old. I went on a diet straight away and got down to 15 1/2 stone. For the last year or so I have been 15 1/2 stone give or take 7lb - I keep going up and down from 15 to 16 stone averaging 15 1/2.
I am a binge eater - once I start I eat until I cant eat anymore - usually fast food, sweets and coca cola.:cry:
The diet I have come up with is:
1.Everyday (except Saturday) eat about 1000cal - 3 points
2. Do 1/2 Treadmill or walk: Monday - Friday - 1 point
3. Everyday No Fast Food, Fried Food, Sweets or Fizzy Minerals (except Saturday) - 1 point
The main thing is to stick to number 1.
I come up with this points system because I think this will work for me - There is a possible 29 points per week.
I will take Saturday as a day off. I will also get weighed on Saturday mornings. I wont overeat all day Saturday but I will have a treat Saturday night, which for me is about 3000 - 3500 calories.
I drink a few cups of coffee everyday too - usually 3 - 6 cups with milk and 1 sugar, i find it helps - only 50cal/cup and it gives you energy and stops you eating as much apparently
I also drink lots of 'dilute' orange or blackcurrant juice as it has next to no calories so you can drink as much as you want - and it makes sure you are properly hydrated - a lot of the time apparently when you think you are hungry, you are actually just thirsty
I really hope I can follow this through and get into shape, then the next problem will be staying that way.
