So I am ready to get serious about dieting and weightloss but I want to get some advice about cravings and how in the world to avoid giving into them. Sometimes I have a hard time following a certain plan because I get tired of eating the same old things over and over again…and I also have many fruit allergies, so I am limited as to what fruits I can eat.

I mostly overeat when I am stressed and emotional..and I also eat when I am bored. My family has always been more of a meat and potatoes family rather than a fruits and veggies family. I do enjoy to eat a salad now and then and green beans are my favorite veggie, but I can’t seem to get my head wrapped around the fact that I should be eating raw veggies atleast 4-5 times a day! How do I do that without cravings? I mean I love crackers and pretzels…that’s what I munch on all day long at work (I have an office job)…

If anyone has any tips or tricks that could help me learn to curb my cravings for junk food, I would appreciate them all. I know that it won’t be an easy task but I think I can do this if I put my mind to it. It is just going to take time, a lot of effort and a lot of support!

So I am totally stressed out right now due to moving on the 1st, Christmas, bills, raising a 2 year old and taking care of my younger brother who is still in high school and on top of that, I want to lose weight. So the past two nights I have been cooped up in my house not going to the gym because I feel all depressed

 How do you push yourself to just GO when all you want to do is curl up in bed and cry?? I need to figure out how to talk myself into going even on the days when I feel like crap! If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I get emotional, and I eat when I get emotional and then that’s when I gain weight instead of lose it! HELP!

This is my first post to BuddySlim and I am very excited to have found this site!

I have had no success in the weightloss department-I have been paying for a gym membership for 3 or 4 months now and have only gone twice-I can’t seem to put down the junk food-and all of my attempts and home exercise have ended in panting and the eating of chips or sweets.

 I need support to help motivate me. If I get atleast one response today, I plan on hitting the gym this evening! So please-tell me you will support me in my efforts to better my health for myself and my family! Thank you!
