(Which is only half of my problem.) I also tend to overeat while at work (I am a restaurant manager). I have a horrid habit of mindless eating and snacking. If you have any advice for me I would love to hear it! I think the tips are great if you over eat when you are at home. (Which is only half of my problem.)

If you'd like I could work out the estimated amount of calories you need to see if you're actually consuming enough food. Sometimes when you restrict yourself too much the weight won't shift either. Contact me privately via the contact form at the top of the page with your age, weight, height and current activity level (ie light, medium, heavy) and I'll work it out for you. Hey John, That's a great tip to keep a food journal to see what your calorie intake actually looked like. As you say, it's all about the person and they need to decide to do it for themselves!

Zimmer Tue, 02 Jun 2009 03:15:25 +0000 http://www.dietriffic.com/?p=2392#comment-5539 Hi Melanie, All of these suggestions sound like good advice. What is now making a difference to me is just realizing that my 52 year-old body cannot eat 22 year-old portions anymore. I journaled for a week so I can see what 1500 to 1800 calories looked like and now I am sticking with it. I don't have the luxury of eating a little more and then just working out harder to burn more calories (trust me the extra workouts won't happen for me). Anyway all of your hints will work, and a person just has to decide and do it. Great post! <abbr><em>John W.

Anyway, I moved to the UK almost a year ago and I don't know what happened to me here. I put on 5 kg since I came and I just can't get rid of them here. I have tried everything I can imagine, I thought it was because I wasn't hungry when I ate (that's why I was reading this post) but then I kept a food journal and Im eating around 1200 kcal per day and exercising 5 times a week and the weight just don't go. Im starting to think if everythings really a matter of portions or theres something else out there. Anyway I love your blog :) Hello Melanie,
