Weight a second...

That pun , was for you, urge. :)

Okay, here is my issue:
Almost a year ago, i was pushing 250. I had gotten too comfortable in my crappy job, Bree was pregnant, and i had spent 3 months looking for work after getting laid off from my last job. I had been cgowing down almost constantly, and many of you are well aware of my love affair with fast food.

So i was getting fat, complete with a double chin (which i never had before in my life) and sporty new stretch marks on my belly. Ick.

Once i had gotten canned, a combination of having no desire to eat, along with a more active attempt to lose weight and doing more physical activity, i dropped to a lowest point of 216.

As of last night, i was 226. Shit.

I dont really have a question, i know what i have to do, but the prospect of being good all the time scares the hell out of me. I have developed a compulsive need to eat and drink (alchohol, of course....) that has become overwhelming in the past couple of weeks. And its the holidays...

Bree and i agreed to help each other work out and try to lose 20 lbs by february. I think lunch today willbe my last hurrah. Im gonna get a couple of double cheeseburgers and savor them.

i'm up and down all the time ..
the fucked knee doesnt help.
my wofe is a junk food addict otherwise i wouldnt have it in the house ..
i dont enjoy eating out anymore either.
i'm overweight but not obese .. i'd like to be 40 pounds lighter .. that would make me pretty skinny but if i want to pursue competative volleyball well into my 50's - i'll need to be skinny.

its a goddamn struggle though .. we eat waaaay more than we need to sustain us each day .. north americans eat like pigs - we're trained to do it .

Same here. I am short so any lil weight gain shows up. Right now I would like to lose 10-15lbs. I was a fitness trainer at the ymca here for about 4 years. I worked out 6 days a week, boxed and ate really well. Now I have a job where I sit a majority of the time and I don't work out anymore. It sucks. Luckily I still eat healthy but as I said I would love to lose a few lbs.

I find it ironic that on top of my window for HDC there's all adds for weight loss lol.

Contextual ads by google, they read the page content and render related ads.


its funny, both of the women that have sounded off so far said they were short. My first girlfriend was 4' 9" (i was 5' 11" at the time), and was , well, rolly-polly. I had a hting for short women as a result, for quite a while, but the part that stuck for me was that she had curves.

I had always liked a rounder form, but since my first actual physical experiences with the female form were soft and round (not to mention big boobed... BIG, and not just for a short girl.) I imprinted on that.

espite her claims of being a beast, my wife is most definately not fat, but she has the curves (she is 5' 8", which is a much more comfortable match :D)

Anyway, it just got me thinking. Bree doesnt have a problem with me gaining weight, but i am getting neurotic about it, and it stresses her out because she was a "fat kid" most of her childhood. So if i think IM fat, then she starts worrying...

a little extra weight isnt a big deal when you're young - but as you get older its not good at all. and old habits die hard as you age.

i think the goal should always be to get to a decent weight before you're 50 if you want to continue to enjoy quality of life into your golden years.
