Going through this thread makes me wonder "wow, you guys are very well disciplined and the willpower are pretty strong". I find it so hard to control my appetite these days. And with my new job which "allows" me to sit in the office from morning to evening, it's making things worst for myself. How do you guys control your urge? rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

I just think of the consequences of I do indulge in these "urges".

I carb load during weekends so that helps too

I do think of the consequences. Unfortunately it can never triumph over my urges. I just feel like eating something yummy all the time. Self discipline so lacking. cry.gif

I don't think about weight problems actually. For me it's others things like insulin sensitivity which leads to diabetes, heart disease, diminished gut performance leading to poor digestive health and nutrition absorption, potential development of cancer, etc. These factors are enough to deter me from touching most unhealthy food.

I think nothing can save me now. Even I think of that kind of consequence, it still cannot deter me from eating. Trying my very best to control. Used to eat quite heavy for 3 meals. Now cut down quite alot-but still insufficient. Still feel hungry, itchy mouth, urge to be glutton all the time.

Somehow this phrase is stuck in my head. Hit a chord for me I guess

You're already hurting. Get a reward from it!

I hope I can control myself really soon before I balloon up out of control. Put on tons of weight since January 2013. Not too sure if I'm finding excuse for myself or what, I used to workout at the gym 2-3 times a week since it's just 2 level above my office. But now, after I've moved on to a new company, I've just lost the "energy" to do that. The nearest gym to my office is at Tropicana Mall. The idea of going to the gym after working and reaching home at 9pm just really turn me off. Thought of jogging around my neighborhood; but I kinda freak out a little due to the unsafe environment these days. >.< .

Hmm, it doesn't mean you can't eat though. Just make the right choices. E.g. roasted chicken breast over ice cream, green salad over a milkshake, tofu over ais kacang. The ability to just stick with the choice ensures success. Just like how you deal with work stress - either swim or sink - those that are resilient eventually rise to the top - those that are weak just remain where they are.

I know I can eat. Unfortunately it's so hard for me to resist those unhealthy yummy food. but I'm trying really hard now to replace it with good ones e.g. salad. If only I can just switch off the urge. Is there medication or something to suppress the appetite huh? rclxub.gif
