I gain about 15 pounds every winter (seasonal depression?) and I've found the best way to lose it is to just get so involved with something else, I forget to eat.
Seriously! Like this July I adopted this little psycho chihuahua and I started researching all her health problems, I was walking her a few times every day, trying to train her, reading doggie articles online, etc. I lost too much weight and had to purposely try to eat more fattening foods so I didn't look too thin.
Get a new hobby that interests you and excites you so much that you stop thinking about what you want to eat and food can actually become a pain. "Damn it, I'm hungry but I don't want to stop and eat...I wish there was a little food pill that I could just pop so I wouldn't have to stop and eat and chew and swallow and all that BS, it just takes too long"
Maybe I'm just weird, but it works for me.
Going to the gym also works beautifully, but it's not as easy.
Oh wait, one more idea! Get a job involving physical labor! Then you'd get paid to be active!
