So, I'm really one of those people that likes being really active. I am always on the go. I pretty much like anything that has to do with physical activity. Running, biking, hiking, being in the outdoors, etc... I have always been able to be in a healthy body as well. Well, I've noticed since this fall that my metabolism is slowing if you know what I mean. I've added a few pounds. About 10. Not too bad. But for me, I feel it's a little too much.
Anyway, like I said, I'm a very active person but I can't seem to drop this extra 10. I don't really worry too much about it but it does bug me a little. So I've been working out a lot like I normally do. Run, bike and work out. The norm for me. Well, nothing works. Everyone I talk to says "how's your diet." I tell them that I like my food. So what "right." NO! I hear from everyone. You can't do what you do and expect good results is what everyone tells me. I'm active. How come it doesn't work?
I work out fairly hard and run and bike a decent amount but the weight stays. They say that as long as I do what I do, the weight is going to stay on. I don't get it. Work hard and stay heavier. It sucks. I like to eat and work out. Why can't there be a happy medium. I don't want to just be a runner or biker or just work out. I like doing it all. And I like to eat. It's a gift. I have always been able to. But I want the extra weight to go.
I'm really struggling because I really struggle giving up food. I like to eat. I'm one of those people. How do I do it?

I like food too, especially tuna fish sandwiches made my way back in the states. I'll probably gain when I get home from eating good, yummy tuna fish sandwiches. Love em when they're done right.
Try this. I'm following it right now.

food is awesome. i'd like to help you, but you're dealing with a guy that has basically stopped running because it interferes too much with his schedule.
I with you, dude. I'm starting to shed the pounds now after I made a couple changes: I increased how much I run (and the duration) and I eat about 6 times a day (small meals/snacks). I also stopped lifting weights (made me crazy hungry and I always overate). This weight stuff is very personal/subjective, but those are the things I did. Oh, and I cut back on the fast food a bit. Now, when I have fast food, I get the dukes. TMI, I bet. :>)
