Welcome to Gaia! ::

The horror....*shivers*
My doctor said I need to lose weight to lower my blood pressure or else I might have to start taking medication. gonk
Ick, the worse part is I'm addicted to sweet things and stuff with starch. Actually I take that back, the worse part is not being able to eat my favorite food, potatoes. ;-;
Oh well....everybody tell me how they feel about diets. xp
And if your doctor has ever told you that you're at a "dangerous" weight level.

PS: I'm reallyy sleepy and want to watch Patch Adam before I go to bed, so I'll read your posts tomorrow! Plus I know its late so most of you probably aren't on.
And to be honest I haven't posted in a long time or read any new rules, if any, so please accept my apologies if this thread is inappropriate.

Edit: Before I go, you might ask why I don't post this tomorrow, right? Well I have horrible memory and if I don't write/type something down thats in my head I'll forget what it was. sweatdrop
I have loads of papers I've written, about crap that doesn't even strike my interest anymore. I'm just one of those people, I even write little adventure stories that sound great but I never finish them. xD
Night everyone! <3

Ack. Diets sucks. You need to stop eating everything you like...
Kudos for do it because they want, and have the will to do, but when its against your will, it sucks major a**.
But if its for healthy reasons, I encourage you to follow your doctor's instructions.
Tought diets don't work well. What works are those things where you re-define your eating habits.

I sttoped drinking soda/pop and eating cookies for a month to save money, and almost went wild! whee

bwahahha take ALOT of calcium i chew 2 Viactiv chews a day and eat pretty much the same ..i lost 15lbs so i started running and lost 30 =o the calcium help you burn more fat :nod: and i still eat everything i use to but dont stop taking the calcium or youll gain more weight XDD

Probably. whee
The only new thing I've tried was raspberries, blueberries, and apples. I'm predicting I should try and open my eating habit to different foods.
>.>


Thanks, I didn't know that! I should go to the store a buy a bottle of those or something. My health goal is losing 40 pounds. gonk
I hope I could do that. domokun

Don't diet... it just makes you miserable and hardly anyone succeeds at it.

Just get rid of the bad things you really don't need, but it's okay to treat yourself to those once in a while.

I would suggest getting more active. It's a lot more effective and better for your body. I'm not talking about running a couple miles everyday and lifting weights, just try something like yoga, walking, or swimming. There's a program called Body Flex that I've used and it works wonders for me. Just do something aerobic, not strenuous.

Thats what the anti-depressents are for I think. >.>
And I'm going to walk 4 days a week for 30 minutes. Thats what the doctor said to do. I think if I just follow the little paper she gave me and walk those days I will lose some weight. And I can't treat myself to anything. I don't think I should treat myself to the same things I eat. I'd just rather change my whole diet habit and lose weight and not have to worry about my health. xp
Thanks though! I will start lifting weights too and try yoga if you really think it would help. sweatdrop

well im allready a nock out xp kidding but yea it would be ncie to through it in the faces of the people who have tormented me for years but i dont matter i guess. sweatdrop

I've had my doctor tell me I had a 'dangerous' weight, but after he examined me it turned out not all that 'dangerous'. No high blood-pressure, no indication of diabetes (even though it runs in the family), nothing wrong with my heart, yadiyadiyada. Of course I'm only 24, but still... It was nice to see him swallow his own words.
