Diet Discussions - View Single Post - New and need some help

Hi everone,

I hope you can help me out a bit, here's my story:

I've been dieting for quite a while now and lost 25 lbs in total with a lot of effort. I struggled a great deal with saying no to all those yummy deserts snacks and stuff ppl on a diet better keep their hands off. Later though, it became easy.

Then there was vacation. And for vacation, I went to visit my grandmother, who lives at the other side of the world, for 5 weeks. That was great, only I had one problem: she wouldn't cooperate with my diet, saying: "it's the summervacation, vacation is for fun, you can pick up dieting afterwards." Result: gained 10 pounds and not linking it. "But once you pick up your diet again, all those pounds will melt away, just like before" I said to myself. I was wrong. I was back where I started: I'm having such a hard time saying no to foods with loads of calories or controlling my portions, simply because I hadn't been doing so for 5 weeks.

Any tips to get me started again? I really need to control my cravings. I don't wanna gain all those pounds again!
