It?s the only way I will get into the clothes I really want to wear, but I have good days and bad days when I actually start a diet. I?m quite disciplined most of the time though
Dieting is a good way to lose weight, provided it?s a proper, healthy diet and you lose weight slowly. Everything in moderation is the best route to success
I need to go on a diet now, but I don?t seem to be able to get my head round the concept at the moment
It makes me think of those flavored shakes you get in the drugstore

One where I can lose weight quickly without having to give up chocolate
A well balanced one where I can eat anything in moderation
One that?s easy to stick to, but I haven?t found it yet
Something where I can still go out and enjoy a big meal every now and again

I would hate to do that; I enjoy my lunches out with my work mates too much
I started doing that a while ago. I still eat out occasionally if we?re having a celebration in the office, but not very often
I would, but I really don?t have the time at the moment
Yes I would. I?ve done it before but I kept forgetting to do my lunch and every time I forgot it would take a few days to get back into the swing of it again

Yes I?ve already replaced high fat items with much lower fat alternatives, and I dry fry or grill now instead of using fat
I do try, yes. Sometimes it?s tricky if you have a favorite recipe, to cook a low fat alternative though. I should buy some cookbooks really
I don?t really cook anyway. I tend to stick with convenience foods
I am. I just need to get in the right frame of mind to do it I think

No I just want to lose some weight
Definitely. It?s not just about cookbooks, it?s about changing your whole way of looking at food
Yes I think so. I?m always tempted to slip back into old habits though
I suppose so. I don?t really have the time to do it at the moment but I should make time I think

Going back to proper meals after sticking to those milkshakes for a few weeks
Well a lot of my eating habits have already changed so I don?t tend to fancy the same foods I used to. I tend to slip up with my portion sizes I think
Chocolate or other sweet foods. I can go for ages without them and be eating really healthily and then I fall off the wagon in spectacular fashion
Not having the motivation to carry on

As much as possible ? if it?s coming off then I obviously don?t need it, do I?
Whatever I can manage to lose
A couple of pounds, but I?d like to lose more really
One to two pounds maximum

I?d probably binge eat; that tends to be a habit with me occasionally
Well it?s going to happen sometimes isn?t it? I?d just carry on as normal afterwards
That would probably be it ? the end of the diet
It would upset me; it has before. I?d probably fall off the diet for a day or two and then get back on it again

If I?m trying to lose weight I refuse to eat out
No, definitely not. I do tend to eat too much when I go out though, and I feel dreadful afterwards. I?m back on the diet the next day!
Absolutely not. I still eat out when I?m dieting; I just stick to the healthier dishes and avoid sauces and dessert ? unless it?s a fruit salad
No way! I always eat out and enjoy myself, but it can take me days to get back onto some semblance of a diet again afterwards

Yes ? I like to try and lose three to four pounds a week
Yes ? I don?t always achieve them though and it gets me down if I don?t
Yes I normally do. It won?t necessarily be to lose a certain amount of weight each week though ? it could be something as simple as cutting out using butter in sandwiches and switching to salad cream instead
I hadn?t actually thought of that

I try and ignore them but it never works so I end up having my cake and eating it too!
I try and ignore it but if it doesn?t go I eat as much as I want
I don?t tend to get cravings like that any more. If I do, I limit myself to a small portion as I find that?s usually enough to get rid of the craving
I usually end up eating way too much and regretting it the next day. It?s hard work getting back on the straight and narrow again after that

I?d like to ? time always seems to slip away but I keep thinking it would be good to find better ways to lose weight
I?m always open to looking at new ways to cook food and present it in ways that are attractive. I know that certain foods can speed up weight loss as well, so they could be good for when you naturally hit that plateau
I haven?t got the time at the moment ? maybe in the future?
No not really ? I always count on the milkshakes to help me lose what I need to
