Weight Gain 101

[partyarty25]

the most amazing thing happened yesterday. I have been eating soooooo much foood lately. And as I was sitting on the couch watching a movie, I thought I need to go weigh myself. I know that sounds stupid, but ever since I moved to Louisville, KY almost 4 mos. ago I have been losing weight. Mostly because of stress but a part of me feels that I

well I think the reason I feel so strongly about my body weight is because someone I know once said to me "you're attractive but if you would gain weight, you'd be a demi God" That's stuck with me for along time. I am happy with myself...but I could see some areas to improve..I'm sure we all could.

Easy killer on the calorie intake. There are many healthier ways to gain weight than just increasing calories. Many times when you increase calories you are increasing the amount of cholesterol that enters your body. When you do this, you are putting yourself at MAJOR risk for heart disease (or attack). Try increasing your protein levels. This will also help to build newer and stronger muscles!!! And we all want muscles now don't we?! Just be careful. I am happy for your weight gain, being as I was in the same position not too long ago. Just be smart with ways to gain it.

You and I have similar body images. Just like you, i wonder about the "disorder" thing a lot too. I'm starting to be really health-food conscious when i go to the grocery, because heart disease runs in my family. But, whenever i step on the scale, i don't like it when it goes over 130. I know this sounds dumb, but i can eat anything and not gain a pound. I eat a lot, but am not a constant eater. And when i do eat a lot, it's foods that aren't exactly fattening or high in cholesterol. I know i don't have a disorder but i kind of like my body image and wouldn't change it. I do, however work out every day and have started lifting weights and stuff. But, whenever i was in grade school and high school, i would always get made fun of because i was skinny and people would pick on me. It sucked. Maybe this has something to do with it. I don't know..maybe i should just stop babbling ha ha.

yeah I think you and I are in the same boat. My weight just dropped like crazy and it made me really think about what was going on. Sometimes life seems so busy that i just forget about eatting and then when I do eat it seems like such work.

but hey you and I have something most people are jealous of...nice abs...hehe

No, No, No

Ok I know that I am new here and maybe I should just butt out, but for what it's worth I think that you are perfect just the way you are. about the Demi God thing, hunny you are way beyond God status!! And please tell me whoever it was that said you needed to gain weight in the first place because they really need smacked, and they are obviously just JEALOUS!! So don't pay them any attention. Your just simply art work! Well ok that's my opinion (and prolly everyone else heres opinion) you look great no matter what.

aww...well thank you that really is sweet of you. And I'm sure there are more pressing issues people have than me being concerned with my weight. But it's something that I've harbored in my head for the last few months. I just need to get some sun, tan my skin and I'll feel better. ;) but thanks again for your thoughts....so how you liking LJ, fun huh? :)

Ok well whatever it takes to make ya feel better. I can't stand to see a guy as hott as you feel bad. well yea LJ is pretty cool, I like it. And it was actually pretty easy to get around and stuff. So yea it's fun. The best thing though, there are TONS of gay guys here! ;-) That is always a plus, since I need a man anyways.
