I was eating so well when my wife was controlling my diet... She was obsessed, and it looked good on me. Now it's all gone to shit and I've just eaten my third chinese take away in two weeks. I guess I should do some shopping... for something other than cider....

Why does life have to be so complicated? Where's the vegetable aisle?

    I pretty much don't follow any kind of real healthy diet between Thanksgiving and New Year. What's the point? There is too much evil stuff that I like during the holiday. Helloooooo stuffing and gravy! I'm good all year long. I deserve a vacation.

    Maybe you should look at this time as a vacation from healthy eating. Start new in January. :)

    it sounds lame, but try spinning. its not hard on your joints like running can be and its a good cardio workout. there is also eliptical trainers, ect. just a thought.

    sign up for a half marathon :)

    but seriously, don't get too controling over what you eat, it only ends up backfiring. just go with the flow and exercise. if you go from not exercising regularly to exercising regularly, you are almost guaranteed to lose weight (but it tappers off the better shape you get in). plus, remember that everyone's weight goes up and down throughout their life for life style changes, biology, whatever. you might just be going through a fat phase!

    Smack down 5 of these a day. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6498304/

    The shock should be enough to cause the fat to explode off your body...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    but seriously, it IS ok.
    people act like gaining a few lbs here and there is the worst crime on earth, but it's so not. and if you stress too much about it, it will only make it harder to lose weight. I stressed A LOT about it, but then after seeing a nutritionist, a trainer, and reading a couple books, I've learned that my body is just in a different place right now and that's ok.

    Actually, a book I *highly* suggest is called Intuitive Eating. I would check it out.

    Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son - Dean Wormer


    SERIOUSLY - you need to get off of your eating take out/away!!!

    buy salad ingredients, and eat that during the week - it's easy and fast, and you can't get fat on romaine lettuce! add some garbaonzos and some parmesan with a little dressing (not a cream dressing...you can use that somewhere else ;) ) and you have a proteined up caesar salad...

    and you said you lifted weights, but it didn't remove the belly??? actually you can do weighted stomach crunches...and they can be done in a chair... :D

    you only need to take care of all of this if you feel unhealthy - if you are feeling healthy then you shouldn't worry about your weight for aesthetics...that is just superbly lame.

    (wooooh! a post that wasn't vulgar!!!)

    I highlighted my favourite part :D

    Na, I feel fine... not unhealthy.. yeah, aesthetics are lame!

    But no, thanks for the tips anyway.

    WTF is a garbaonzo? It sounds like an Italian muppet.

    Go veg. Excercise. Eat less.

    Let me stress the eat less part,.. Your body is used to eating a certain amount of food, but if you make an effort to actually stick to a smaller diet you'll adjust, and in two weeks (if it even takes that long) your hunger pains will go away and you'll feel normal.

    All three of those things depend on you eating better though. And if you decide to go veg (great desicion by the way, you'll feel lighter and more energetic than ever) make sure you don't become a junk food vegetarian! Tofu can be delicious if you know how to cook it, Morningstar Farms and other soy products are delicious, fruits and vegetables themselves are rather delicious too.. My point is, becoming a vegetarian doesn't mean having a boring diet.

    edit: Garbanzo beans are great but I prefer black beans :)

    mmmm muppets...and you just said the magic word to enter the failedpersephone fun castle of vulgar innuendo and joyfully wicked smack time!!!


    garbanzos are legumes...sometimes called chickpeas...and if it were an italian muppet, it would have to have a set of "garbanzos" made out of blue felt covered golf balls (for weight and density)

    *mmm mental image* :D:D:D

    would you like the verbal/ non image smack down or would you prefer to visualize as well...

    *takes it to the PM world*

    hey - this can also help you to lose weight!

    ahem: the average mental induced masturbation session (lasting no longer than 15 minutes) can use up to 200 calories.


    let's see if you can't beat that time record and use up all the chinese food calories...beat it, get it?? get it???
