hi! i dont necessarily want to lose any weight, but i do want to loose inches...the only thing is im lacking the discipline and the strength. it seems that every time i get motivated, im only motivated until im huingry for my favorite chips or cookies. any words of wisdom to get me on my way?

There is no easy answer as far as I know! I have gotten a lot of good advice on this board about cravings and motivation...I am looking at the bad carbs and junk food as a drug now. I CAN'T give in, or the addiction cycle will continue. It is going to be several weeks of agony, but I am really hoping that once my body is off this stuff, then I won't crave them anymore. Good luck!

Rocko...Christin is completely right. There are no easy answers.
Maybe set a goal for youself as in somethin new you really want to buy yourself to wear and work for that. I'm a girl so I like that sorta thing

In my mind I think about next summer and going to the beach and feeling comfortable in a bathing suit(but not a bikini christin) LOL
I am so obsessed with losing weight and eating everything in sight at the same time it drives me crazy so I really have no room to talk here but as far as motivation goes...we're here for you and we can offer friendship when times get hard.
