I'll be honest I am overweight and it is mu fault. I'm not extremely overweight. If I lose 20 more pounds I'll be at my healthy weight. I'm on a diet and have lost over 70 pounds. However the only way I can lose weight is by starving myself. I tried doing it healthy and it didn't work. I had to go to the hospital because I didn't have enough nutrients in me. I lost my -blam!-ing mind when I was a kid and ate everything in my dam sight. So now I'm paying the price.

  • You don't have to starve yourself to lose weight, you just have to eat the right foods. An example: chicken salad (with a low-cal dressing if you want) You get your protein and other nutrients depending on what other stuff you add. It can be pretty filling. Mix a good diet with exercise (something more on the cardio side since you're trying to lose weight) and you'll shred fat quickly. Hard part is starting a routine and being committed but, once you get the ball rolling, you'll build momentum. Keep up the good work and don't give up!

  • Thanks. Lately I have been eating salads with grilled chicken. I don't need salad dressing with my salads, so that's a plus. I also have been eating frozen fruit. I love cold sweets so anytime I get a craving for sweets I eat the fruit instead.

  • That's good! Also fruit smoothies are pretty tasty and make for a nice snack/small meal.

  • I love smoothies. I am hooked to iced coffee and drink them as a dessert so maybe instead of the coffee I could do the smoothies.

  • Thanks. I am learning from my mistakes. I have a hard time eating though because I feel so guilty. When I was anorexic I told myself that eating was bad. Even if it was something healthy. So it's hard to actually eat.

  • Yeah that's not good. There's a balance. I work out 4 days a week and so I have to keep up a high energy/protein diet to repair muscle damage. If I don't then I become scrawny, if I can't get the proteins or nutrients I burn muscle and cause fat. We aren't designed for our current society, we are designed for manual labor and hard work so a lot of times when long hours are spent not doing physical activities you can kind of get out of the biological balance. Keep up the work

  • Yeah but in order to succeed that's what you have to do. You wonder why corporate America suddenly became obese. Any job that requires movement for the most part won't be as rewarding financially. There are ways around everything though. And another thing, I don't know if you've got a problem with this but stay the hell away from drugs and cut down or switch off the porn. Trust me builds willpower/self-esteem

  • Thanks. I hate how overweight people make up excuses. Yes you work and your work involves you sitting at a desk all day. However you don't need to sit at your desk and eat Resses all day.

    Yeah I'm blessed with a runners body and metabolism. I have to be carful that I keep my body lean not stickish. I get to avoid social ridicule though which really is probably a natural thing. You instinctually don't want to be paired with the more out of shape people for herd security. Luckily we can still help people out to get in shape because we don't need instincts. Just a question are you a guy or a girl? Just wondering with the name and how I've never met a guy who has had problems and I would like to know how to prevent them for everyone
