Ah Love2Know, I have the exact same problem. I eat and eat and eat. And even though I'm full, I still eat more. I gained 4 pounds in 3 weeks... so now I weigh 175... And my boyfriend has been after me to eat less and exercise because he doesn't want me to end up having a heart attack or diabetes. I know I have to, but I just can't get the energy to do it. I already made him cry by breaking the promise that I would work hard. And it breaks my heart, but I just can't do it. I love eating.
I guess the only thing to do would be to TRY to stop eating a lot all at once??
what's your bloodtype (just curious) I don't have a picture of you but I'm guessing O.
do NOT stop eating, that's a very poor choice. instead, let me recommend a few things?
I eat 6 meals a day, small portions, and usually only chicken breast and romaine lettuce, shaved carrots, and green pepper. This is a small portion, if I have to i'll submit a picture to show you, it's not alot, and it keeps me feeling great all day. I wake up at 7am (ish) and eat oatmeal (very important to have fiber) then protein the rest of the day. you are allowed to eat whatever you want really, this is just what I eat because I work out for 1 hour 20 minutes, then do a 15 minute core exercise, then yoga for 30 (and some meditation, like around the last 10 minutes of my yoga) it's perfect and gives you results, everyone is different however and everyone has their own thing. I eat almonds sometimes before my meal for the oils, and I also sometimes eat fruit (an apple or bananna) but not often, it's not needed.
I drink water about an hour after I eat, and continue drinking until I'm ready to eat again, it's not hard to regulate this routine once you get used to it.
I also do target training at the gym, I avoid weights as much as possible to keep from injury when you are first getting back into it. Once you start to take shape, move to the dumbells. You do not need vitamins, suppliments, shakes or whey protein to stay looking good, your body does all you need for you. some people DO need a kick start, so something like a BCAA powder is fine, mixed with an energy powder (like noxipro or jacked3d etc etc)
it's also important to note you do NOT need to lift heavy! do 40 minutes of target weight training (IE your quads/calfs monday, tricepts/chest tuesday, core wednesday, biceps/back thursday, delts friday, light cardio saturday/sunday and/or rest those days)
it takes a wile! you have to realize you took YEARS to put on that weight yes? (if not years, at least months) so you have to get your body used to thinking it needs to be a machine, this takes some time.
