pop
thing that started my rant was a friend of mine telling me that pop was not a good thing to give up for lent because your supposed to give up something you want
he seems to not know me well on that subject, I love pop, it is one of my favorite things to drink, the fizzy bubbles and sugar taste, it is extremely good but all he sees is the fact that I avoid drinking it and ask for water instead at restaurants and fast food it is because pop is extremely over priced when drinking with him I was usually dehydrated so pop would get guppy in my throat and I could not drink it without problems for a while I was disgusted by the amount of pop people would drink and the fact that they would drink it to quench thirst rather than as a treat so i avoided drinking it for a while it also seems like the first thing people cut out of their diets when they are having teeth or stomach size problems then for budget reasons, pop has no nutritional value and now I fear pop because every time I drink it it causes me terrible pain, but that does not mean that I don't want to drink it
and part of my giving it up was to remind me not to drink it because even a small amount is very painful like the last night I had a Margareta and was trying to shop for clothing I was amazed that I was not more irritable for how much my stomach was hurting, in that instance it was probably a large part the food I had eaten as well
metabolism
I don not quite understand my friends when they say I have a great metabolism
I guess my body is rather small in comparison to some of theirs
and my metabolism is not terrible
but they always say this when we are at a buffet and I am consuming large quantities of food I continue to eat because my body does not have a fullness mechanism, it just knows when there is extreme pain means i should stop throwing things in there
the reason it does not affect my body weight is one meal a month like that is not going to affect much
and dieting for a month or eating well for a month may change a few pounds but is not going to completely convert the body
I have been somewhat dieting for several years as little pop and cool-aid and sugary sweets as possible for me It seems to take just as long to build width as it does to remove it if you eat reasonably the reason i am the size i am now I still attribute to my college years first month I moved here I ate barely anything, about a meal a day sometimes less then when I started school I had cereal for breakfast and two sandwiches and a piece of fruit for lunch, sandwiches without mayo, just bread slice of meat slice of cheese then when I would get home if my sister had not eaten with her boyfriend already I would eat with them, otherwise I was too upset to eat, or I sometimes would find something to hold my stomach so I could sleep for a while I was eating rather well as I would visit a friend of mine and he would cook meat and a vegetable every night then when I got out of school I was too lazy to cook food when it would be just me eating, i saw no point, so i had very few meals now i live with a nice room mate, we eat a meal together most nights I eat stuff at work usually something small like a ramen cup and fruit or some microwaveable stuff when I am home alone I usually have one to two foods a day
but then again, what I consider a small amount of food most people consider two portions, so i guess I am not eating as little as it feels to my stomach I can't help if I have a never ending hunger :/ but that doesn't mean I am going to eat just because I am hungry, if I did that then I would no longer look like I have a great metabolism
though I have heard that feeling hungry can be a sign that what you really need is water, so i think I am going to attempt to drink more fluids and it may help my hunger
And I guess I have no right to get mad at the rather large persons that I see at work buying food on food stamps, I would probably buy more food and eat it if I could use food stamps as well, sure I would buy several bags of chips and cookies and eat them all, three dollars for a bag of chips would be no problem, I could eat hundreds of bags and drink a 12 pack of pop a day and sugar water rather than regular water, then again I cant do any of this do to my ulcer
I guess I am stuck "having a great metabolism" and unable to eat enough to feel full
hmm I guess I do over eat a lot and it doesn't really show, I just had a full bowl of cereal but my stomach is groaning with hunger, I am going to drink a cup of water and maybe make some milk noodles to eat. I can't have meat today, it is a Friday.
I avoid drinking sugar which means no coffee/cocoa a day and avoid having sugar snacks readily available/in sight and I try to get more grain with less sugar cereals and use minimum mayo and some other cholesterol building substances so i don't think i eat terribly
but I guess my figure is all do to my metabolism
I realize that some people have other things that affect their weight I just get annoyed when people get the impression of me that I am always eating sugar and fatty stuff and never gaining weight I do have some self control when it comes to that stuff, I usually blame expense but a lot of the time I am just trying to not make a habit of eating fatty foods
but thinking of expense one dollar extra for a cup of coffee or a meal with extras every day adds up quick, thirty dollars in a month, three hundred sixty five dollars for the year. just think, my meals at work cost anything between a dollar to five dollars, quite a bit of money shaving off a dollar or two by getting something cheaper but still healthy would save quite a bit that could be applied to my loan one thing i wont cut out of my meal is 50 cents for a piece of fruit the rest of the meal is variable as long as I don't get a dessert or bottle of pop
It also angers me when I hear people talk about their plans and how effective they will be I had a friend of mine talk about how excited they were about their pending weight loss, I was happy that they figured out how they can help themselves and improve on something that they did not seem to like about themselves but it reminded me of another friend of mine in the way that it was said like they thought that changing something seemingly small was going to have quick effective results, it takes a long time to change body type, my friend that had figured out what was causing his weight problem explained later that they understood it would be a long hard process and that they were going to work for it and I think we covered our disputes on the situation rather well, so that is better but my other friend that had gotten me pissed off about the whole situation had said how he is going to have six pack abs in a few months, yes he started exercising, but he was doing several push ups and other things a day and walking, it changed his physic slightly in a good way, he lost a large portion of his belly but it annoyed the heck out of me that he seemed to think he could get six pack abs that easily When I was in high school I exercised every day, track is a rather good work out, other than just running it included doing ladders of push ups and crunches equaling out to over 50 push ups and hundreds of crunches worth of core exercises, my stomach and arms were pretty solid and muscular at that time but I had no six pack. But whatever, I guess he just has a different body type that makes it easier. He has yet to get that six pack though. But I do applaud him on an large amount of self improvement he has been able to do over the last year or so.
I have tried to do self improvement first by getting my ambition and self confidence up, but it always seems to get crushed by something.
