From Jess, Age 21 - 05/10/10 - IP#: 98.245.85.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'4", Start: 160 lb, Today: 145 lb (BMI: 25), Goal: 130 lb - I overeat all the time- I just really like the feeling of being full. I've been trying to think of food as fuel and not a pastime, but it's so easy to overeat, especially if you're out with friends. I mean, who can finish a Chipotle burrito? I can. Those portions are outrageous. I know I need to exercise more, and hopefully now that I'm posting I'll feel like I really need to stick to my goal. Good luck guys!
Reply from Ally13, Age 22 - 05/11/10 - IP#: 74.92.246.xxx Haha, you're not alone ..give me enough time and I'll make it through one of those burritos too! Honestly, I've tried (and failed) to see food as just a fuel, but it's entirely to enjoyable. I mean, c'mon, would there BE any overweight people if food wasn't good?? =) Seriously though, I know it's hard to think about the long term results when you're in the moment of enjoying a lovely meal. That's why, generally, if I know I'm going out with friends, etc., I set in my mind exactly what I can and cannot eat. For example, I go to chilis and, while I may get the entree I want, I make sure I don't eat any of the chips and salsa. If you need a good workout regimen, I'd recommend Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred workout video. All you need are two handweights and a mat if you have hardwood flooring. It's roughly a 20-30 minute workout (if you include all the stretching and changover times) and it really gets your heartrate going. I know you didn't necessarily ask for advice in your post, but I always like to see people commenting on my posts because I feel like there's actually people out there reading and empathizing with my situation =D. Good luck to you!
