Hi, for several weeks, maybe a month and a half now, I've been going to the gym for a good 2 hours a day, about 5 days a week. I have also read about the paul mckenna weight loss programme and I am trying to apply those rules to my lifestyle. For those who do not know, they are

1/ When you're hungry, eat
2/ Eat what you want
3/ Eat consciously

and

4/ stop when full

I have been applying them quite well and in the first 2 weeks noticed quite big differences in the size of my stomach. However sometimes i find i have really bad days when i return to my old eating habits of just eating for no reason and not being able to stop myself. On good days it means that i actually don't eat much at all, often skipping a meal because im not even hungry for it. It is not this that i have the problem with, but how to stop myself on the bad days, and how these bad days have an effect on my overall weight loss. Presently, I feel like my stomach has actually got bigger not smaller and I'd really like some help in what i'm doing wrong! and how i can improve what i am doing. I'd say in a period of 2 weeks i'd have 3 bad days, 4 average and the rest good.

please help!

Thanks

Hi gymgoer, I think all of us here fitness enthusiast experience the Bad day in our "fitness" cycle(mine was even monstrous). But one of the most powerful counter technique I learned is the phrase: "Will eating this lead me closer to my goal?" That single phrase alone was my secret weapon every time that hotdog, the cakes, the porkchop, burgers, and other delicious confections at home or at an event looks so irresistable. After all the battle for fitness is within ourselves so go and get your amour...beat Evil Craving!
