The struggle is real.

Talk about temptation. What are they trying to do… kill me?

2. Nobody else wants to hear about your new diet

"It’s a no-gluten, all paleo, clean, no carbs, no fat, all liquid diet. It’s absolutely miserable but it’ll help me lose three pounds..."

3. You’re starving. Like, all the time

I just want to eat something… more! I need more out of life than this! (Post continues after gallery.)

4. You are constantly thinking about food

I need food. I need it now. I need it to be somewhat unhealthy, substantial and I need all the guilty feelings to leave me alone about it.

5. You break down and eat your "safety net" food

I can’t believe I ate all my special snacks… they were supposed to last me for the next month!

…for like an hour. Then you realise you’re hungry so you get something to eat.

"So, I’m back on the wagon again and now I’m going to add 40 minutes of cardio and maybe some weights to my health regimen…"

Even though you realise salad is crap and never fills you up like you want it to.

11. You get sick of people telling you, “You don’t need to lose weight.”
