I'm considering pigging out every day and never mind what people say. Do you think it will make a big difference in the number of years? The only thing that stops me is the quality of life. Pigging out will probably cause stuff like stomach burns and cavities. |

This is Doug in Japan. I haven't posted in a while. People who are long-time members will remember that three years ago I started at 125 kg and then got down to a low of 78.8 kg over a year and half or so. I think I followed your progress. As I recall, I'm about the same height as you and went from 93 kg to 77 or so, finished in April 2007. Still there, coming up to two years soon. Anssi |

Pigging out will probably cause stuff like stomach burns and cavities.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Hard to tell for sure, but statistically, it would lower your life expectancy. If you have an eating problem and really do pig out, you could get to 350 pounds. Surely that would not help your self-esteem either. I truly wish there were a pill we could take or somehow magically not have half the calories count, but so far the only way to do it is limit the eating. When you think about it, overeating is not good in a lot of ways...regurgitation and other digestive problems, dizziness, difficulty getting around, bending over, joint problems, diabetes, heart trouble, relationship and emotional problems, buying new clothes. It just goes to show you how strong the eating motivation is, but when you stand back and look at it objectively, overeating is not worth it. The good part is that once you decide to lose the wt. then keep it off, it is just one day at a time, and although it is difficult, it helps build self-esteem to know you can control something as primal as lifting food and putting it in your mouth. |

I'm choosing the heathy path.I'm going back immediately to my recent successful weight-management strategy, meaning low-carbs. Thanks again. |

I bet if you check the calorie count, your calories skyrocketed. Also I bet
this stuff had a lot of sodium so you started retaining water once again. Also bet you weren't drinking enough liquids so retained water again. It's not the high carbs. I eat a lot of carbs and have had no problems dropping 67 pounds. wrote in message ... On Feb 28, 12:17 pm, " wrote: "Nature has played a cruel joke on us" It explains it all!

But I know that the more carbs I eat, the more hungry I become. |

By the way, I did lose 13 pounds in 2 weeks by increasing my calorie
intake by about 30%. The exact percentage is in one of my posts done a few weeks ago. Virtually the only carbs came from apples and basmiti rice. I did very well on just eggs, peanut butter, almonds, chicken, fish, and vegetable soup, and lots of green tea and oolong. I kept the weight off for several weeks until that Black Friday when I ate out. I'm back on track. Doug's suggestion is the best: Lose the weight and take it one day at a time. That's what I'm going to do. I will soon start working 60 hours a week for several years to come, so I need to be as in good shape as possible. Senseful nutrition will be essential. I hope I won't lose my health in the process... |
