People with ugly attitudes are fat..... fat heads. Hi Lee! Miss you girl!  I just stumbled across this thread. This topic is very close to my heart since I am fitness trainer. I deal with the gamut of people who want to change their body image. Most are typical, but some people are so distorted in their thinking because of the media. The mantra and lifestyle I implore to my clients is to exercise for health. If you have good physicals, blood work-ups, etc, and you like the way you look in the mirror naked -- then be happy! (hoping they have a healthy expectation of body image). I play counselor more times than fitness guru. I encourage my clients to think in terms of BMI or body fat percentage rather than using the scale. My biggest, daily hurdles include deprogramming the young girls from the myths of diets, eating disorders, and those infomercial exercise divas! This is a subjective discussion. Everyone remember to play nice and try not to hurt anyone’s feelings regarding their bodies. Beauty is meant for broad interpretation. |

im a size 6 and sometimes a 4 and im STILL FAT ...and then there's the OPPOSITE EXTREME...where a view of your back is like looking at a catfish carcass that someone has picked clean. "Different strokes for different folks!" Sorry folks, this is a long one, but chock-full of good, tested advice: Any or all the following may be making you fat: 1) ...salt (water retention)  2) ...sugar 3) ...ALCOHOL  4) ...well, uhm...FAT. Try to keep your fat intake below thirty grams, unless you happen to be nursing 5) ...caffeine.  If the first thing you dump into your stomach each morning is coffee, then any resulting low-blood sugar issues causes you to binge on fatty foods AND sugar in an attempt to bring your blood sugar back up. This, of course, makes you fat. 6) ...comfort foods.  If you must eat this, try making your own pita chips! Just toss a few whole pitas into your oven, set to 400 degrees. Bake for around five minutes in a preheated oven. Take out and break apart. Make hummus out of two cans of garbanzo beans ("chick" peas)/one cup of vegetable broth/one teaspoon olive oil/one fourth cup parmesan cheese/season to taste with no-salt seasoning/I like fresh cilantro in mine. Blend in a food processor. The idea is to eat low-to-no fat comfort foods. 7) ...eating too few meals.  Eat like a diabetic! Never let yourself get hungry...food should always be on your stomach. Funny, huh? Eat around 8-7 small meals each day. I keep my meals around 300 calories each. Check the internet on what your optimal caloric intake might be, taking height, body-type, and age into consideration. More on this: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm 8) ...drink lots of water. 9) Keep up with your glycemic load. Very, very important! It should be low. Different foods have a different glycemic index.  More on this: http://www.glycemicindex.com/ 10) If you get hunger pangs, tell yourself this is the feeling of the fat melting off your body.  11) MelodyGirl seems to have her fat-fighting game down.  12) Beware those who want to persuade you to sabotage your diet!  They WANT YOU TO FAIL, so they will have an excuse NOT to diet! Your own willpower will piss off others. Keep this in mind. 13) Never go to the grocery store hungry.  14) If you MUST eat butter (which is just not a healthy food, period), put HALF the amount described on the container on the side of your plate, take a bite of potato, etc., then eat just a tiny bit of butter. NEVER just slog it onto your food!  The idea is to be mindful of every tiny bit of it you eat, while still allowing yourself to enjoy it, yet trying to come BELOW the amount described on the container. Gradually diminish the actual amount you eat, until you no longer crave it. 15) Eat high fiber foods. These make you feel more full, longer, and the other benefits are many, including the absorption and elimination of cholesterol.  16) Eat as you do normally, then introduce an every-third-day approach toward changing your eating habits. On the third day you employ these and any other methods of reducing your caloric/fat intake, as well as the fat-inducing foods listed above. Then, after you are comfortable with this, change this schedule to a "every-second-day" routine. When comfortable with this, change to a "every day" routine, having ONE designated day when you eat what you've been accustomed to eating...BUT NO BINGING.  If you have the opportunity, SWIM!  Fat seems to dissolve off me very, very quickly when I swim around 3-7.5 miles per week. RESIST THE URGE TO EAT AFTER YOUR SWIM, BECAUSE YOU WILL BE STARVING AFTERWARDS! Have some designated snack waiting for you after your swim. Contrary to the notion that swimming DOES NOT make you lose weight, YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT! GOBS OF IT! The reason why swimming may NOT make you lose weight is because of the intense HUNGER and resultant BINGING afterwards, UNLESS YOU HAVE A PLAN TO RESIST THIS. 17) HAVE A PLAN TO FIGHT YOUR DIETING WEAKNESSES! And no cheating! One lap = from one end AND BACK. Thirty three laps are required in your typical fitness club pool to equal one mile. Ask the pool attendant to be sure.  Only do this if you really want to and only to please yourself. Never do it for others or to make yourself something others want you to be. If eating fatty foods makes you happy and you like your roll and you are healthy then do what you do. Don't let anyone tell ya different. There are people who will love you regardless to your body type and or weight. Adhering to this ONLY to please others, or some significant other, is quite difficult. Adhering to this ONLY to please YOURSELF, is quite difficult, or virtually IMPOSSIBLE to do. If someone in the gym told me they were only doing it for themselves, I'd be very skeptical, unless they were fighting some chronic illness, like heart disease. There is ALWAYS someone out there they seek to impress. IMHO, it takes BOTH, and this occurs naturally in your subconscious, but not until later, when you come to this realization...hoping that someone you see every day might notice your new muscularity and fitness...hoping you may come to feel better and be more healthy. Stay with it, and a balance will be struck, all on its' own. There is a difference, you know...being FIT as opposed to being HEALTHY. Go for both. Don't sacrifice your cardio exercise for the benefit of building muscle. Don't sacrifice the maintenance/building of muscular strength, as well as bone density (which is increased by lifting weights) for cardio. Recent studies strongly suggest that the body turns to existing muscle to repair any damage to the heart. Increased muscle mass encourages the body to burn more fat, even when the body is at rest. |

People have been so programed to think it is a have to thing and it isn't and we should not be apologizing to anyone if we are not what the tv says we should be. People are all different and we should be glad of it and enjoy it. If you want to eat fatty foods and like your roll, more power to ya. If the doc says you need to do something about it and you choose not to, more power to ya. If you decide you would like to do something about your weight and seek out advice from people then listen to this post. But only do it for yourself. |

PLEASE! people need to stop thinking it's ok to be fat n lazy, and that they should only do what pleases them. that's irresponsible and morally twisted thinking. this idea that being fat is ok as long as u love urself is soooooooo not right. please read carefully, as i did not say that being fat means u are unworthy of love or that u shouldn't love urself if u are fat. i'm just saying u shouldn't be ok with it either. if it's ok to be fat then it's ok not to strive to better oneself and by that same token, it's ok not to strive to better one's surroundings, etc.. please lose weight if u are overweight. not only for ur health, but also because a fit person is more aesthetically pleasing. if u won't do it for urself, think of the rest of us and lose weight for our benefit. kthnxbai |
