Eating and trading

I too like sweets, particularly chocolate ice cream! But in a way it's like trading ... one needs to exercise discipline.
How true!
Get rid of the sugar...go on Atkins or something. It proabably won't last, but if you do it for two months you'll take off the pounds and hopefully kick the sugar habit. Then transition into a balanced eating program coupled with exercise.
With Atkins you can eat as much as you want as long as it's protein...you have to limit your carbs to <20 per day. However, you have to plan your meals so you don't get sick of things.
Seriously, if you get rid of the sugar, that should go a long way.
I have the same problem...being sedentary and so close to the fridge...now I try to keep only healthy foods in the house. If I don't I'm dead. My wife once left me alone for a weekend with a chocolate cake. That's all I ate for the weekend!
Good luck!

Do ONLY two sessions a week , one for upper body, one for lower body at the beginning, otherwise you will burn out, later, after one or two months you add third session if you must.
unfortunately I seem the crave sweet foods, particularly in the late afternoon. I try and snack on fruit buy it doesn't satisfy me.
You have to switch to low glycemic index foods . Sweets and some fruits spike your insulin and make you crave more.
weight is not a most important factor in determining if you are overweight, body fat is. Measure your body fat in your gym, they should have the caliper.

EVERYONE,
eating good foods is not enough. sure, it's healthier to eat good foods, but to lose weight you need a caloric defecit. you can achieve this through exercise, eating less, or a combination of both. there's a lot more to it than this, but most people are just totally clueless when it comes to eating/exercising right.

Each day: eat 215 grams of protein, no sugar, less than 50 grams of carbs, no processed wheat, very little fat, 2 salads with color, ride the bike watching cnbc 5 times a week, hit the weights hard.
Oh yeah, and eat whatever you want on Saturdays.

Yeah I'm serious. Im about 210 pounds at the moment at 6 feet, so I'm about 20 pounds over my ideal weight. Im a meso. i build muscle pretty fast when I hit the weights but it I've been a bit slack over the past two years. I just started back at gym and I'm aiming for four sessions a week, however at 31 Im not finding it as easy as I used to in my mid twenties.

Do a 4-day work-out split on the weights and don't forget the creatine!! Works wonders -- my goal is 3 plates (315) per side on the bench by July.
