Fat Enders

[snyprrr]

I'll just take this opportunity (NO! I'm not going to "apologize" for anything- lolz!) to say that I THOUGHT I was 5'11" my whole adult life. Last year I told my friend, and they looked at me funny and mocked me, and we went and got the tape--

(*^M@)@R#@!)MWG

I'M 5'8''

Seriously, do any of you have any idea??? I prided myself on KNOWING I was ALMOST 6 feet. I always had THAT confidence. Ohhh.... lolz... I MEAN- IT SAID SO ON MY DRIVER'S LIC!!!!!! I must've beefed up my profile in college, lolz. mm mm mm, what a card


But- it hasn't effected me really. I guess at this point it's just a number to me- though I always wondered why 6'4" always seemed SOOOO tall, haha!!

oy vey indeed


so, to all those who think I'm such a bigot-- I'M A VICTIM TOO!!





And I'm particularly attracted to Amazon Women.... when will I learn?






Surely this height thing would only open up another can o' owrms??            (owrms muuuch worse than worms by far!!)

YEA, IT'S OUTRAGEOUS WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO EAT (soorry caps)- to GAIN weight-- like 23,000 calories a day--- who can eat that muuu.... oh, yea,... nevermind...

I tried these little cookie dough shakes- tiny bottle/400 calories- it was great, but went right into my indigestion section, ugggh.

You can always whip up one of those peanut butter and oatmeal shakes- 2 a day- but you'll have to work out or you'll be back here complaining about yer gut.

I just can't seem to find the high fat food I want.


I hate eating.

I go to Chipotle and I just get tired thinking about having to eat that huge bowl of rice and chicken. I can only eat there once every six months- even though it's like a perfect meal. I just want shakes shakes shakes.... tired of chewing and eating (get the feeling I already Posted this here before)

I don't get the people that can't stop eating- they should start smoking and drinking coffee- simple.


Since I picked up this coffee habit again six months ago I haven't been ABLE to eat--- it's a struggle just to get a meal every few days--- ffffuuuu.... looove coffee... mwah mwah mwah... too much...

Shakes help me maintain an acceptable size. I need to count again, but I probably take in 3500 calories a day. There are certain tricks, too, to consuming healthy calories- such as 5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil is about 600 extra calories a day. Mainly I drink tons of milk, though.  It's a real pain finding affordable, enjoyable, somewhat healthy foods that are high in calories per bite.

  Not for me. This what I want to eat every minute of the day. But can't

230 really isn't all that bad for your height. If you were 5'2," I'd be seriously concerned... 

230 is not bad;  but the loss of another (say) 20lb. will ease burdens on my knees and back.  (At the time when I was floating in the 240-245 range, I had a mild-but-frequent lower back pain, arising from spending so much time on my feet at the shop, and which simply went away by my losing a few pounds.)  And in my case, the desire to exercise and lose weight also has the result of improving my cholesterol numbers.

None of these, to be sure, are concerns at your age.

Today (and twice):  229.6

So it's no fluke

Huzzah!   

[Karl Henning]

And again this morning: 228.2

Sometimes I get a little suspicious when the dial reads exactly the same two or three times in a row . . . so, monitoring the situation closely

I think I got a little carried away with this weight loss thing....187.4lbs

Very pleased with that, actually, knowing the distractions and temptations when off a-vacationing.

I busted the button on a pair of pants trying to squeeze into them. Time to get serious again. I went to the gym the last two days. Fast workouts, but I'm feelin' em...

[Karl Henning]

No! Not . . . binge exercising!   

Good luck!

[Mookalafalas]

No! Not . . . binge exercising!   

Good luck!

Well, naturally I want to make it a habit, but yeah, once my pants fit alright, I do lose my motivation

I understand.  How to keep purpose, when urgency has passed?

  My wife really got hooked on swimming, because she says if she doesn't go, now she feels sluggish all day. Maybe that's true for me, too, but I'm too sluggish and apathetic to notice
