  • I remember when I was 10 years old, my doctor told me that I needed to "cut the fries, and run a little". That was the first and only time I heard a doctor tell me that I was overweight. I'm not sure if he realized that he contributed to my low self-esteem. Also, I rarely ate fries. I was actively pursuing karate at the…

  • I can relate to you on a thousand different levels. I have many downs regarding studies, social, and etc. The one constant throughout it all was my weight. For me, my weight always kept me down (sometimes literally), but after a year of change, I can say with confidence that things do get better! I lost 30+ lbs, and am…

  • Yes! I love breakfast. I've lost 32 lbs. I don't know if it helps my metabolism, but it definitely gives me a good jumpstart to my day. It gives me the necessary energy to do the things I need to do.

  • I agree with the calories. When I started trying to lose weight, I strictly only ate 1200 calories, but that obviously was not giving me enough energy. I thought maybe I was just worn out from school, which did play a part, but also not eating enough did as well. I wasn't eating enough servings of grains, fruits,…

  • Bathing suit season has always been a struggle for me. This year, I finally lost a good amount of weight, but I'm still self-conscious too. What I love about this year is that high-waisted bottoms have gotten in style, and it has transferred to bathing suits too! I can hide enough tummy, but still feel fashionable.

  • 1.) Be diligent with your work. Please...BE. DILIGENT. 2.) It's okay to smile back at people. 3.) Have an ego check once in awhile. 4.) You probably shouldn't have eaten half of your birthday cake last year, but it's okay.

  • Am I a geek? I would say yes. Anime/manga, video games, GoT, classical music/music in general (I'm a music education major), etc.

  • Thanks for all your input! I agree on the "too much of anything is bad for you" statement. I have been making a conscious effort of keeping track of my carbs, fats, and protein. I noticed that a good chuck of my carbs come from fruit. I think overall, I'm doing alright with my diet as far as college students go. Definitely…

  • I usually eat when I'm hungry, but I find that I'm hungry around my scheduled eating times. I think it just works out of habit for some people. I do think that having a breakfast is important though. For me, it prevents me from overeating later in the day. Sometimes I just get these major, insatiable hunger trips when I…

  • Wow, this explains a lot! I've been wondering why I've been feeling sick after eating certain foods. I've been scared of touching these foods because of how awful they made my body feel afterwards. I thought it was because I had a "sensitive stomach" or something like that, but that couldn't be it because prior to my diet…

  • I remember for one of my birthdays, when everyone was asleep, I took the remaining half of my cake. I was just shoveling it into my mouth while watching Family Guy reruns. I felt awful for a solid week after that I also remember eating an entire Giant Hershey Kiss in one sitting. That's about 1800 calories. I remember my…

  • It most definitely is worth trying. No matter how many pounds, we're all here to lose it! Don't feel like you're alone because everyone here has a similar goal, and that's to improve our fitness, health, and well-being. I can understand the addiction to food. During my junior year of high school I had serious depression…

  • I admit, I can be a little nerdy sometimes. I'm mostly an anime nerd though. I started watching less anime when college started, but it still holds a special place in me. My favorites include Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Magi, and Natsume Yuujinchou. I'm not a hefty gamer, but I love following the Pokémon and…
