im becoming a fat kid.

no it's not. again, spoken like a 21 year old.

 

It shocks me how many people lack basic dietary sense and instincts.

for the most part, it really is simple to stay thin. for one thing: WATER. water. water. steers instead of elevator, fruits and veggies, walk the last half mile to work, water, herbs and spices, water, sleep 7-8 hours, water (you know, cause it lessens your appetite and works better than any phony diet flavor of the week program). its easy. than you can splurge now and than.

 

Simple doesn't mean easy

People want quick and easy...

 

It never ceases to amaze me how some of you are so wrapped up in what society considers "ideal". I'd rather date someone REAL than date someone who has 18% BMI and a 22 inch waist. And I say that not because I happen to like fat girls but because I would rather not have to deal with someone who worries about caloric intake and 30 minutes of cardio daily. I'd rather spend those moments with someone comfortable with who they are, sitting in a tree, listening to birds or watching the ocean.

Try being a little less self-involved, Hmm?

 

I don't follow what society says is ideal

However I rather be not fat

 

Couldn't really happen to me. I like the taste of healthier food, and I like what I do for exercise. I like tossing the basketball around with the mates too.

I wish people would stay somewhere between being unhealthy and being obsessed with their weight all the time.

 

I'm never going to be happy until I get back to 170
might have to lose a limb but I'm gonna do it

 

I'm 165 now, so I could drop down to 155 if I ever needed to drop to weight again.

I wouldn't mind being a ripped 180 though.

 

I don't believe that it is being self-involved to want to keep fit and healthy. I do agree that there are many people who become obsessed with their weight(which is, after all, just a number).
I couldn't care less how society sees me, but I do like to excercise(not too much) and I also enjot feeling able to do things like go for a hike or climb the stairs without being out of breath.

 

I like the strong/powerful feeling I get after hitting the gym, and the feeling of not being able to get tired you get when you're in really good shape. Society isn't telling me that.

 

once i start going to the gym i get seriously addicted. it makes me feel better about myself phsically, and i feel like im acomplishing something. that and i hate feeling sqishy.

 

Me too. I started doing push-ups and sit-ups about 3 months ago, to try and get a little stronger after a bad motorcycle accident.
Now, I can't sleep unless I have done my daily quota. It's amazing how quickly something can become a habit.
