so i got a weighing scale.. coz im tired of guessing how much i weigh and coz i wanna know if im gaining weight.

well, last time i weighed myself..mmm... 2 years ago.. i was 110lbs.

today..

130lbs.

ouch.


i have to do something about my eating problem.. i mean, i walk a mile everyday and im still gaining weight.. why?

within 2 hours of waking up yesterday (9am - 11am) i ate:

  • A big bowl of cereal
  • a soda
  • a pb&j sandwhich with chips
  • a slim fast meal bar


its like i cant stop eating, im never hungry but i just keep eating.. ive estimated that i eat about 8 meals a day.

i dont wanna be fat.. i really dont..

ya, i wanna do (as cheesy as this sounds) that scrapbooking stuff coz i like it.. maybe that will take up my time.

Muscle weighs 7x more than fat- it could be that you built up a lot more muscle and that put more "weight" on you. A friend of mine is almost twice my size, but only about 10lbs more than I am.. but in her case, it's all mush while I have a lot of muscle on me.

As for the eating.. it could be that your metabolism is high and you need to keep feeding it. Grazing all day isn't bad, it's WHAT you eat: cut out the junk food (i.e. the soda and chips), go for stuff like baby carrots with hummus, lots of fruit + veggies, and it's all good.

ya thats the problem is im eating all day but its stuff like cookies, soda, chips.

i calculated that i comsume about 800 calories a day just with soda alone.

im going on a strict healthy diet (no stupid fad, just the food pyramid and exercise.. lots of it.)

GAH!!! no soda!! *chuckle*
If you have a hard time with the soda, check out organic stuff like Blue Sky, or else (and this is awesome) get berry syrups like Ribena and mix it with club soda: all the bubbles, none of the crap. S'how I weaned my husband off Coke.

berry syrups? never thought if that.. and what is blue sky?

"healthy" soda (you can find 'em in health food stores like Trader Joe's)

Berry + fruit syrups are great.. you can also use flavouring syrups for mixed drinks like margarita mixes, pina colada, etc.

excellent, see this is the stuff i need to be thinkin about, rather than killing myself to stay away from yummy stuff, i need alternatives. thanks man.

2005-06-10 08:25:48 ET

Hey, anytime. ;)

S'not about depriving yourself, it's ALL about the healthy alternatives.

2005-06-10 08:26:35 ET

2005-06-10 09:27:45 ET
