how to get my motivation back?

Lully

hi,
i’m 22 years old girl, and since high school i’m 132 pounds stretched over 5’2’’. about two years ago, when i started college i gained another 20 pounds, that made me understand i’m overweight, and then i started a diet – mainly thinking before i eat something. i already lost those extra pounds, an i wish to lose another 10 pounds, but i feel i lost my motivation to restrict myself. suddenly i find myself eating way too much, which makes me down, which makes me eat again… any advice?

First of all, well done for the first 20 pounds – you’re on the right track. Maintaining regular meals schedule may help you to control what you eat. If you feel hungry for something sweet, try first tea or a fruit before you turn to the chocolate snacks. There are many other tips here:

You can keep an eating diary – it’ll motivate you (many times we judge ourselves too severely) and will help you recognize problematic times (e.g. when you’re tired from work, before your period etc.). There is an example here: http://web4health.info/en/images/food-diary-en.pdf

If you feel a craving for food, you can try to go to sleep – it helps me.
Good luck!
