Diet woes...

[dainty_shoes]

Urgh I’m hungry. Diets are always difficult and I loathe them. Every single time I eat salads my stomach and mind have a similar thought process. But I can’t eat Chinese food! It makes you even hungrier within an hour and the calories don’t disappear as fast. I don’t think my food regiment is working out - then again I am only eating fruits,

Pardon my asking, it's hard for me to keep my mug from the communal pot that is an online journal: why are you dieting? Do you have any particular health benefit in mind?

W-Well I recently checked my weight and I was 130 pounds. I want to trim a few pounds off...

That and my new nurse uniform is a little tight on me.

((YOU ARE A SKINNY WOMAN, WOMAN))

Really now? Well, far be it from me to tell a woman what's best for her body.

But if you intend to lose weight, you still need to have a balanced diet. Lean meat's important as a source of protein - otherwise your body won't be as efficient at burning calories. You'll need carbs, too, for pretty much the same reason.

Do you go walking much?

Forgive me for being direct, but I feel the need to point out that a proper diet--including protein and carbohydrates--is essential to maintaining a healthy body. Mr. Armando has already noted this, but it bears repeating. Fruits, vegetables and the "occasional" yogurt or snack bar isn't enough

Well, actually I didn't study much on nutrition standards when I was in college. I studied to be a surgical assistant, rather than a standard nurse, so I didn't really learn much about the subject itself.

I-I really do think I'm skinny! It's just my new nurse uniform. I received it about a month ago and it fitted too tight. I asked my boss about it and he just told me to loose some weight. He's not a very nice guy.

It would do you good to do the appropriate research.

I would also suggest you reconsider your place of work; if what you say is true and your employer is not a "nice" man, reevaluate your reasons for staying.

I would, but I need to pay my college loans. And the other place I applied to...

That weird loon can read this, you know.

Everyone's said what I would've in my capacity as a physician, so I'll just say this:

Meraktis is a damn fool to be wasting a nurse's salary on a file clerk's duties. He must be so deep in that mob money he can't find his ass with both hands anymore.

I know right! I have so much more potential too and he almost never even lets me assist and...

Wait, mob money? What mob money?

[saltyolddoc]

...

Never you mind. Better if you don't know.

May I suggest an "all pudding" diet? That's practically all I eat and I stay pretty thin!

[dainty_shoes]

All pudding diet? Well pudding is good and all but I don't think it'll help me out very much. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Hmm..is there such thing as a burger and noodle diet?

[dainty_shoes]

There probably is, but I don't think it would be very healthy for me.

[mediumfey]

Really?

Well I dunno how unhealthy that is because that's almost all I ate when I came down to visit a..friend..and I think I'm pretty healthy!

[dainty_shoes]

Hmm...well I suppose I can consider it.
