Too Funny To Eat
According to this survey, one of the most common New Year's resolutions among Americans is to lose weight and get in shape. This is unsurprising in a country that has the highest obesity rate in the world. In 2016, ten U.S. states reported that approximately 70 percent of their population was either overweight or obese, pointing to a significant public health crisis.
Of course, most people recognize the danger of obesity to their overall health, and dieting is popular among those who are looking to improve their general well-being. However, despite the fact that most Americans are overweight or obese, obesity is often seen as unattractive or a sign of laziness or poor character. This also drives much of the motivation to lose weight. It's hardly surprising then, that the U.S. weight loss industry was worth a staggering $70.3 billion in 2018.
At The Gym
Choices Were Made
But why do 4 out of 5 new diet plans fail within a month? Well, there are lots of reasons, not least of which is focusing too much on the food while neglecting lifestyle changes and the importance of breaking and forming habits. In order to achieve lasting change, most people will need to embrace a whole new way of living, one that goes beyond simply hopping from one fad diet to the next.
Sticking To Your Diet
Nothing Good To Eat
Just Throw It Away Already
Here are some common problems that people find when embarking on a weight loss attempt.
- Failing to nourish the body - Your body needs certain nutrients to function properly, withholding food with starvation diets will cause metabolic and hormonal changes that can be damaging in the long run. Instead of punishing yourself by going hungry to lose weight, see food as a medicine than can heal and nourish and promote healthy changes in your body.
The Same Thing For Every Meal
It Only Took Two Weeks
- Unrealistic goals - Many people give up too soon on their weight loss journey because they were expecting quick and easy results. Set short term goals that are achievable, and slowly form new habits and routines that encourage a healthier lifestyle. Sustained weight loss takes time and patience!

Well, the bracelet is on the same hand in both the pics.

actually what happened is, her diet is so good that the tattoo starved to death and fell off. Services are next week.
apparently someone doesn't understand how mirrors work...One is a selfie in mirror, the other pic, someone took of her. different side showing b/c one is a reflection.
Right, you don't. It doesn't make a difference if she took a photo of her reflection then her friend took IRL. You are still looking at her Right hand. If the second pic is of her Left side, then the image is flipped in photo editor so both are facing the same way.

The phone is in her right hand. Go stand in front of a mirror with a phone in your right hand...your left hand is in front, just like the picture.

Wow. That’s the saddest self-delusion I’ve seen on a while... Would like to have read her friends comments in post same day and then hearing them when meeting her soon after...
In the first pic, mirror image shows her left side. In the 2nd pic, left side is to the wall, and tat doesn't show ...
Everybody wants to fool us. Everybody wants to take the easy way out, like those moms cheating to get their kids in college. Sooo much dishonesty in the world.
In both pictures you are liking at her right side. It is not a mirror issue.
Different side. The first one is in the mirror, the second one is made by someone else

A Healthy Diet
- Physiological issues - Sometimes you can do everything right and still not succeed, leading to feelings of hopelessness and shame. This is where you can go to a doctor to investigate deeper, underlying issues such as hormonal imbalances, adrenal fatigue, gut flora conditions and thyroid problems. These kind of things can cause weight gain that is entirely not your fault, and by finding the root cause of your struggles you can hopefully address them and move on with a healthy eating regime. Eventually when you regain your full health, weight loss will naturally follow!

Eating Healthy
I get the feeling that most people do not really know how to loose weight in a healthy way.
I think, most people know if they gave it some thought, but it does mean giving up very tasty items and that choice is not easy.

I'm going to Weight Watchers, and I've lost almost 20 pounds so far. Wish me luck. :-) Temptation is everywhere. Loved the humor in this article.
Good luck, keep going!! I've lost over 100 and am holding steady at my goal weight.

You can eat everything and lose weight. All you need to do is ask yourself before eating "am I eating because I am hungry?" If no, put that cake down and wait until you are hungry. If you start feeling sated while eating - put that pizza down. Also eat slowly, enjoying every bite. Don't be afraid to leave food. If you can't stop eating - put smaller portions in your plate. That helped me.
"I've been on a diet for 2 weeks and all I've lost is 14 days." - Totie Fields
This happened to me: Me: I think I'll start a diet and start going to the gym Also me: Meh, I'm a stick. Don't need that c**p. Me: *Gains 13 pounds a week later* Me: No matter! Me: *Splits pants within an hour of saying that* Me: Ok, I'll diet. Lo and behold, I now relate to all of these memes.
Unfortunately, the types of food that satisfy hunger and provide the fastest gratification are the highest calorie. ie- large McDonalds, pizza, pasta, fries, etc. Therefore it is easy to consume 1000 calories in 10 minutes before you stop feeling hungry - 20 mins later you will feel over-full and guilty. 500 calories of healthier food will take a little longer for the body to tell the brain it is no longer hungry. 300 calories of low fat protein will satisfy your body way longer than a piece of cake - if this makes sense.
Me-has a healthy, balanced diet with no bread and sugar, portions are small and a good amount of exercise... Still getting fat just by having a 5g piece of chocolate on Sunday. My classmates-don't give a c**p about their weight, eat like fat pigs and still skinnier than I am. You know, I hate my metabolism. Am I ever going to get the better deal out of any aspect of life?!
Ever considered heavy workout? Slow metabolism may be beneficial in low-repetition, heavy-load exercises, typical for powerlifting and similar exercises. You won't lose body fat as fast, but you'll make up with muscle mass that will allow you to train harder. I assume, of course, that you know well how much do you eat, as cutting on the sugars does not automatically mean that you do not consume to much every day.
Load More Replies... Few people can enjoy eating mainly plain salad and fruit - plus lettuce has little/no nutritional value. Tip - grated carrot is actually a good thing to make salad from as it does actually make the body feel satisfied. Favorite salad is 50% carrot, 10% peppers, bit of chopped onion, chopped spinach and a tin of tuna (not in oil), with a tablespoon of low fat mayonnaise and a splash of healthy vineagar. Low calorie meal, containing a whole day's protein requirement, lots of nutrition and leaved you feeling full very quickly and stops you feeling hungry for hours. The key with restricting food intake is time and patience. Once you have eaten your low calorie healthy meal - wait 20/30 mins before deciding if you are still hungry as different types of food take varying amounts of time to kick if before the body lets the brain know it's had enough. Someone can consume a vast amount of excess calories in that 20 mins before the urge to eat stops. - cont..

Hello are you knowledgeable about Blank ATM card? Check out these blank ATM cards today. My name is Newt Trump from California. A successful business owner and father. I got one of these already programmed blank ATM cards that allows me withdraw a maximum of $5,000 daily for 30 days. I am so happy about these cards because I received mine last week and have already used it to get $20,000. Mr ERIC MARK is giving out these cards to support people in any kind of financial problem. I must be sincere to you, when i first saw the advert, I believed it to be illegal and a hoax but when I contacted Mr ERIC MARK, he confirmed to me that although it is illegal, nobody gets caught while using these cards because they have been programmed to disable every communication once inserted into any Automated Teller Machine(ATM). If interested kindly contact him via Email: ericmarkatm88@gmail.com
I have loss weight in the past 10days still eating everything I was asked not to eat. Custom keto diet did it all for me. You all can try it to https://bit.ly/Ketodiethub
I tried to go gym but it didn't help me, but i really wanted to loose weight so i tried some ayurvedic products it really helped me alot although it takes time but it was really effective. vedguru
Please remember these rules.... If you are standing whilst eating the calories dont count. Each time you cut the food, came etc. The calories are halved. Each time!!! What really bothers me is if i dont eat something why don't I drop pounds??
It only shows that people know awfully little about such simple thing as eating. First whole idea of 'dieting' lacks sense - bad diet is what made you fat, so you need to change that permanently. Do not expect it to be fast, but it will last, as opposed to some short-term fad diet. Second, calories are you friends, saying otherwise is a slap across the face of millions starving people in the world. Just know how much do you consume and make sure you burn the excess (and a bit more if you want to lose fat). Third, weighing is a bad idea, as you goal is loss of excessive fat, not weight in general. Apparent weight loss may be caused by loss of muscle tissue (good way to get diabetes) and dehydration (something you need to avoid at any time). Measuring your girth/thigh is much, much better way of checking whether you actually lose fat, it also gives you a healthy goal. Fourth, weight loss is not a religious practice, it is a simple math. Food is not a sin, just a reason to workout more.
I've found that the secret to dieting is to identify what healthy foods you actually like, and make sure they are in your fridge for the inevitable snack attacks. For me, cherries, berries, grapes, raw pea pods, ready sliced pineapple or melon. If it's there, easily available, and yummy, it helps you avoid cheating. Diets are doomed to fail if you are trying to force yourself to stick to food you hate.
I just try to drink as much water before meals to curb how much I eat and stay hydrated
