help change your body

I just feel better when I can have all the flavors I crave without being overly full but just satisfied.. but then, after a day of being satisfied and getting my work done, i feel disgusting for looking soo fat. i want to lose 15 pounds and keep it off so baadly because when i weigh less i feel so much better about my body. Every thing ive tried has failed, everything, except for the one time i excercised for an hour every day and ate about 100 calories a day. that time i lost 9 pounds! but i gained back four and i feel yucky and unhappy.. help me!!!

You have to change the way you are thinking about food. It sounds like you are an emotional eater. You need to find a better way to deal with your emotions.

You might also want to have your thyroid checked, because that can make you feel blue, and keep you from losing weight easily.

Drink lots of water. Place an outfit that is one size too small on the back of the closet door where you have to see it every day, so you know what you are working toward.

It takes about thirty days to make a permenant change on they way you think about food, but you need to really question every thing you put into your body and ask yourself, "Is this about being hungry and loving myself enough to make healthy choices, or is this about filling an emotional void I do not want to deal with?"

    First off all, you need to eat more than 100 cals a day! It's not healthy to drop your caloric intake that low! I understand you have stress at work, as we all do from time to time, however, you need to find another aveune to reduce your stress besides eating. Find a sport that you like, find a place to go wall climbing, ride a horse, take a spin class, take a pottery class, paint you could even take a baking class if you think you could take out your frustrations in cake decorating or bread making! Just give what you make away!

    As a final note, if you are so stressed by your job, and it's ALL the time, you might want to consider a career change!
