There is nothing better than fine wine, fine cheese and fine chocolate. The tricky part is enjoying them moderately. True, they should be avoided when you're trying to lose weight. But life without chocolate, where's the fun in that? :)"
Elaine said: "Moderation is the key to everything.
I find that if I cut foods out of my diet, it leads to a meltdown later.
If I HAVE to have chocolate, 1 regular sized Heath bar normally is enough to give me my fix. I would rather do that than binge on a lot of it."
Darren said: "I agree. Chocolate is one the "finest foods" out there. Having it as a dessert occasionally is no problem."
helplesscase said: "My eating habits are very bad not to mention unhealthy. Its like im addicted to food and I eat all the time even when im not at all hungry. I know I shouldn't do this, but I do it anyway. Very frustrating. :mad:
Anyway, i've decided to change my habits or atleast "TRY" for one week and then see how it goes from there. Here's my plan:
-Substitute all drinks for water. Try to drink atleast 6 glasses a day.
-No junk food (chocolate, etc;)
-Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. And thats it. All those meals should equal up to around 1200 calories.
For exercises I think i'll do 50-100 situps and 20 lunges.
Does this sound good? :p"
