It's been three days now that I am eating a lot. And it's not good. I'm feeling heavier than usual. Uh-oh. I hate it but i just can't say no when my friends invite me for a late lunch after office hours. I just can't say no when they order a lot of food and i just can't say no to my craving stomach eating plenty of those food served in the table. It's just so tempting seeing delicious food infront of me:) Who can say no to it? Right?

It can be hard when we want foods that we enjoy, but the truth is simply that we are not able to maintain a healthy weight while we are doing this. The trick is to try and give yourself treats every so often and be healthy the rest of the time as this means that it wouldn't make all that much of a difference in the long term, but in the short term you would certainly enjoy your treat. I have managed to lose 115 pounds over the course of the past two years, and I do allow myself to eat a certain amount of junk food every so often.

Oh really? Well good for your sister. Her metabolism is working very well so she is not gaining weight. I am not that fat though it's just that when I'm feeling heavy I get tired easily..:)

I can't say no to food either, especially my favorite :p So I just eat them. It's a good thing for me that I can never get fat, or I'd be like a beached whale right now, lol! If you're anything like me, just enjoy the food. But make sure to exercise regularly for a health's sake. Enjoy ;)

Good hing for both of us. I don't get that fat either. I will gain weight, yes, but if I would love lose weight it won't be a problem as well. My metabolism is fast so we can eat really what we want;)

If you don't start saying No with all the food being offered to you, you'll definitely be sorry later. Gaining a few pounds may be okay, but if you continue to be eating a lot for a long period of time, that may cause you some health problems in the future. Take it slow. It is nice to be able to eat anything that you want. But we should also learn to control our appetite.

That's absolutely right.. I am pretty aware. Good thing Im not doing it everyday. It just so happened I really wasnt able to say no to myself for that 3 days.. Lol.. Im happy that today I was able to say no to my oficemate when she asked me for another late luch. Pretty sure they will be going to the near fast food in the office..

Hi, It is hard to resist temptations like that, just like being in a room with a sexy partner with no clothes on. The best way to avoid it is to stay away every time I see the opportunity. When friends and co-workers call me for an after hour lunch or dinner, I make it a point to ignore them and go straight home. There's no point in being in the group and pretend that I am not craving that sweet thing or fatty food on the table up for grabs. I'd rather be home safely eating that vegetable and drinking that plain water before going to sleep at nine in the evening.

You have a point. But maybe once in a while we also have to pamper ourselves through eating..When it is too much its really bad. That's why I'm kinda guilty. Good thing it is already my rest day. At least I can rest my tummy for a while.

I know how you are feeling at the moment. I get this kind of feelings all the time. I do not go out with friends to eat, I basically buy junkies myself on and on. So what I did, whenever I am tempted to eat something, I eat fruits or vegetables now.

Good for you, you are able to resists temptation. I am happy to know you have healthy diet by means of eating fruits and veggies. It's kinda ironic for me. Way back when i wasn't on this job yet, I used to do health teachings. Diet modification, healthy lifestyle, exercise, no sedentary lifestyle. But now, I can't even educate myself. It's hard for me to avoid things especially if i just came from a stressful shift. Eating has been one of my outlet of releasing stress especially sweets. Oh wow. I just love chocolates now.:)

Hahaha ... you are just like my second sister. She just love food, glorious food She had her dinner, but once she reached home, she will check what is on the table. If the food is delicious, she will sit down and eat again. I used to tell her that may be she has double stomach space to store all the food she ate. Amazingly she is not fat
