Being Fat is such a conspiracy

[link to home.myspace.com]

I think this is a real good idea. I guess I do this, I didn't realize it. Like I got a lunch portion today at a Thai restaurant and ate half. And I didn't get the noodle dish either, I get the one that is really hot and not sweet with an egg on top.

What worked for me was Atkins modified to my needs. I cut out sweets (switched to sugar free) and starches. I eat mostly protein and vegetables. If you follow Atkins they will say that veg are carbs, but that got too complicated.

I think that eating more protein and not worrying about the fat, like this poster suggested, really cut the cravings. At least it worked for me. I weigh 20 lbs less than I did in high school, but I was an athelete then and now I'm old. Still it's not easy, ever. My mother counts calories, I could never do that. You have to try everything and finally when you hit on it, the weight just starts going down. But you have to remember that as you lose you need less and less.

Then when about a year passes all the muscle that you had from weighing more has vanished.
I think that's what makes it hard to maintain.
Now I jump rope a lot, that is incredible for the arms too, it's like lifting weights.
And I always try to focus on the meat and veg, with a little bit of dessert now and then.

If you have a bad day don't beat yourself up or give up, or worse yet, don't try to make up for it. I see people say they had a bad day so they skip breakfast the next day. That leads to major binging in the evening. Or people say they will start dieting "tomorrow" or "this Monday." What works for me is start that second and just keep slowly working at it. I read on an anorexic website once that the person who could lose the most weight and keep it off was the one who ate "moderately", trying to stay at 1200-1500 cal per day, none of that crazy 500 cal. stuff. Because plugging away will eventually reap the rewards.
It might take forever but it's sustainable.

It's true though, that the rewards are incredible. I was always "normal weight" but now that I'm extra thin I have men 10, 12 yrs my junior hitting on me seriously. I never had a tenth of the attention I get now. It's addicting once you make it. That's why I said that earlier about how it's a cycle, once you get on it and make it you're set.
Good luck with it, I think it's incredible that you're thinking about it now, that's a great attitude. Most people would just give up and wait until Jan. 1.

I knooooow. Maybe I'll get plastic surgery one day when i'm older and he'll take a tuck there and a nip there with a stretch mark scar and I'll be the perfection god intended me to be. Winning. I always want to win and then I look around and the team is just not that cool. I never enjoyed someones conversation who expects me to do plastic surgery why does it mean something to me? Cause it does. I d want to win, but sometimes I debate why.

lol

what good advice and thank you for saying something. I am a big woman thats a pear shape. my only question is how do you get the 10 to 12 years guys that are younger to NOT hit on you? lol

Those broke asses! lol

You hit an important key though when you reached out back. Exercise is important. I get bummed out and the gym gets weird for me on some days. i know I should go but I don't. I must get back into makining myself. I need to do it. You're right!

post a photo so we can see

riderr on break preparing for surgery. Wow! If I was that lean I could poke a couple of peoples eyes out with my nipples. You are RIPPED! Is that you? You're so healthy!

Thanks and yes thats me this august.Um,I need my eyes,but I do like nipples:O

people are gonna think I'm inside my motel room thinking weird shit about me that i'm doing weird shit, when all I'm doing is battling with calling the Italian food place,sipping on gatorade and stuffing cabbage into my mouth cause I know cabbage is safe!

E mail me here in godlike and give me your e mail. I'll post my fat picture. In a jacuzzi even. I'm big (no doubt)

I look sad though. I can't relax in a bathing suit and I'm uncomfortable. You can see it on my face.

cause that's my name dude. Ignore my profile photo though. i'll give you a new picture through e mail that was taken of me this month. you can tell the woman in my myspace acount is me but it is 7 years old. What's sad is I know I can still get back to that. i just get depressed and when people are rude it hurts my feelings. I just can't pick myself up on some days. I get angry and then just pull the covers over my head.

I used to weigh 252 pounds.Thats when I got on my kids bmx bike and rode 7 miles.Must have looked really gay.But it became me.Know I ride all the time.Never give up.I didnt and I went through 5 telephone poles in a truck accident.The seizure meds made me fat.I cured a 7 year migraine headache with a certain treatment that improves your mood,skin, sleep, energy,and also melts fat.Ill try and find ya

oooohhh I saw you.Theres potential!

I feel like I'm 50 even though I'm 34. I just don't have the life experiences a 50 year old would have so you'll have to forgive me, but i feel 50. Make sense? I just e mailed your myspace account. Post my pic?

You emailed me.I just checked and myspace.maybe it didnt arrive.If you not in debt,I can tell you how to buy health products that will fight aging.

ever read mother earth mg? they had a great article on why and it is eating all this food that is not eaten the way it was intended to be eaten but the next article had a how to brew your own beer which is one of my favorite pastimes,talk about ironic as it goes right to the belly that one!

no but I do wonder what they were talking about in the book of Enoch and other books by Sitchen what they were talking about when they forbid us humans not to eat the forbidden food of the Gods. I can't help but think this pizza I'm craving is trivial compared to the "food of the gods"

I'm concerned...

Replace one craving with another.One less harmful or just as fun as pizza.Im starting to crave pizza

I know it sounds good huh?

Get this,

Las Vegas Bella Linda delivers till 10

What I want to order is,

medium Bella Linda's favorite garlic pizza with extra red sauce and cheese but add pepperoni and olives. Ha!

Brillant order!

I've been eating cabbage all day so I can pass on the salad but an apetizer sounds nice too... I don't know if I'm gonna do it but Nutri system sounds good soon and this guy hasn't posted my picture yet! I'm not shy. i know I'm fat. I just think it's a conspiracy I get these cravings and my life is so shitty. I really think it's a conspiracy!

ah the food of the gods=pizza, cheesesteaks{philly of course MAMAS to be excact} and deep fried french fries without skin!

I've found that chewing food until it's liquid makes it take 3 times longer to eat. Fucking kicks ass.

I hope the fucking works cause I finally broke down and ordered a mediem garlic red sauce pizza and I'm up so who knows! Let the dice roll in Vegas!!!
