I feel like whatever I eat cancels out whatever exercise I do. I tried to eat "clean" today-- though I slept in for breakfast, lunch was a small bowl of cereal (half Special K and half Raisin Bran) and a big salad, and an apple. Good, right? Well, now it's after work and Momo-chan and I just went to YogurtLand and ate a ton of frozen yogurt D: I'm ( Read more... )

So much for rendevous, i guess. Suppose you were in the library longer than two hours then.

this trainer told me that it's best to eat just 200-300 calories a meal but eat every 2-3 hours. he said that when you start eating after not eating for a couple of hours, you jump start ur metabolism therefore burning more calories. and this way it feels like you're always eating but the most you're eating a day is 1500 calories.

o.o SMART. Yeah, I learned about eating 5-6 meals a day to keep your metabolism up, but I haven't really tought about it that way, that you end up eating less calories and still feel like you're eating. Thanks!

hi Ile, I know I never really talk to you anymore and I don't mean to sound judgemental, but I've been looking through my friend's page lately and I've begun to get concerned about you. I don't think cutting this many calories while obsessing about weight loss is particularly healthy. If you want to get in shape, I suggest you go talk to a college nutritionist and a gym teacher or trainer. I'm sure there are tons of really great ones at UCLA, who you'll be able to talk to for free. Remember that you are YOU, not some sort of person in waiting who will only count when she weighs less. This is also important because not every weight loss idea you hear will work with your body. Cutting out things that make you happy (like frozen yogurt!! mmm) are only bound to make you feel dejected and sad, not happy that you're becoming healthier. Becoming fit is a really great goal, you just need to do it the right way so that it doesn't become harmful to your body or your mind.

Only writing because I care! <3

Aw, thanks Lydia! Yeah, I know I do sound really obsessive, especially in this calorie-themed journal entry, and it seems all I write about is working out and stuff right? But I hear what you're saying. I'm really not as obsessive in real life as I appear on this page, but I'm trying hard to change genuinely bad habits that I've formed in recent years (I'm already genetically on the fast track to diabetes). At least while I'm building good habits, I feel like it's good to be strict with myself for now, because it gives me structure and direction. Knowing myself, I've always taken advantage of being too lenient in the past, and I've only delved deeper into bad habits by giving myself that excess leeway, which is really what made me feel worse. I'm not going to say that cutting out frozen yogurt and other things are going to make me sad, because that is not what I base my happiness on. I can be happy with healthier options, too! But yes, your words are a great reminder to already be in love with the person I am, and not to stress these ( ... )
