Difficult question to understand, maybe.?
All of my friends say I’m the greatest advice giver with all their problems, because even though I am opinonated I still can look at things from other people’s perspective.
Anyways, I need to learn how to practice what I preach. My cousin was loosing weight quickly and I basically told her what she was doing to her body was wrong but still deep inside I would starve myself for a couple of days to loose some pounds.
Althought I cant, because of hunger pangs and because I know too much, I know the consequences.
Does anyone have any advice for me? Basically I give out advice but I dont take my own.

Oh honey! If we all took our own advice, there wouldn’t be sites like this! I don’t think you are alone in that at all. Just try to excercise you best judgement in anything you do. Think: If this was a friend, what would I tell them to do? And live by that, or at least try. Mistakes are what make us grow.

OK another how to lose weight question. Starving yourself is not going to help because you will cave in (in some cases literally) and eat something. The body needs nourishment so therefore you have to eat. Just eat the healthy stuff and leave the non-healthy stuff alone. Get active and don’t sit on your arse all the time. People believe they can take a pill and sit on their arse and lose weight. It’s nonsense. That is how you got fat to begin with; sitting on your arse and eating unhealthy stuff. Get up get out and do something. The best kind of advice to give is to allow the person who is seeking advice to come up with it on their own. You will still get credit for it.

Did she ask for your opinion? If not, there’s not really any advice to give here. If you know she’s loosing weight quickly due to unhealthy means and you are genuinely concerned, then let her know that you’re there if she needs you. Otherwise, butt out. You’re not required to always have the answer. Sometimes you just need to listen.
