What Should I Do????

[CourtasanSatine]

My reason for losing 5 pounds sounds vain,smaller jeans.But I'm hitting blocks left and right,the first being time of the month.I'm craving caffinee just to stay sane and I'm on my 2nd cup of latte(from a mix in the microwave).I just feel guilty for wanting smaller jeans,I guess a shot in the arm and ideas is all I need(I hate the idea of diets and the programs and not the best idea for me with my insane lifestyle)

All this for smaller jeans

I would say about the only thing you could do is to drink LOTS of water and watch your sugar intake,etc. If you do not want or need to diet a little more exercize would also help. I would try to drink at least 90-100 ounces of water each day. You would be amazed how that would help!!

I agree with Sheila ... lots of water and some exercise. Add a little bit of old fashioned portion control to that As you are eating, take note of when you are feeling somewhat full, and if there is still some left on the plate, get up from the table and throw the rest out.

As for your reasons, we all have different reasons as to why we're on this journey. And as long as it's something that YOU want, it doesn't matter what the reason is

I agree with Sheila and MaryLiz. Your reason doesn't matter, does it? I want jeans in a smaller size too! I started at in a size 12 (OK, they were getting tight but they were still a 12!) and just wanted to get to a size 10. Now that I'm in 10s, I'm looking at my body and realizing that I may need to exercise more and lose just a couple more pounds to get to 8s.

Whatever your reason, I say go for it! Drink lots of water, cut back on sugar, white flour, rice, noodles, potatoes. You'd be amazed at how much you can lose just doing those things!

Best wishes for smaller jeans soon!
