I've been Dieting the last 6 months. I've got a kid on the way and I don't want to be a fat dad. Have you been on a diet in the past?
In the past yes and I'm currently expecting a baby in another month so I will be back to dieting, the key is to eat healthy and work out.
I'm an athlete so I'm always hungry. I compete in the Highland Games and Surf. I have trouble with the restriction of the diet. I'm always hungry.
Have you ever considered doing protein shakes they are good for diets as well and great for staying on track because it makes you full  and not want to eat.
Yea, the run through me.  I wish I was like my dad he has to diet to gain weight.
Try just eating much healthier food it will be the start like baked chicken, do salmon and cut out sweets and starch. 
I don't want diabetes so I use that for motivation to prevent diabetes.
That is a kind of scary but I guess a reliable way to stick to your diet lol you can do it plus doing sports it won't be hard for you.
