My (and your) big, fat ass

I find it helpful for keeping track of calories. Scary how fast you get to (past) 1200 and I need less than that to lose weight. The only weight loss plan that has ever worked for me is: Stay Hungry.

Still haven't recovered from a workout 10 days ago. I think I hurt my cells.

Sorry you hurt your cells, orthodoc.

As for your endorsement of "stay hungry" as a weight plan, I say no way. What is the point of continuous suffering? Now, I don't mind being hungry, if I know a tasty meal is forthcoming. But staying hungry? No, sorry. My new experience with this tool helps me be satisfied in my belly while being cognizant of the amount of food I'm taking in, and balance those accordingly. There have been two obvious changes. I've lost some weight, and eating less and better. One thing that hasn't changed is that I still don't feel hungry, not in a suffering way.

Heh, I should mention that I had an experience of just the opposite this weekend. Twil and I went to a local burger joint, Five Guys Burgers (five stars too!) and I got what would have normally been a regular meal, a cheeseburger, fries and a drink (actually, half a drink, we shared one). At the end of the meal, I was overfull, uncomfortably, thanksgiving-style-pass-the-pepto packed. wtf? A cheeseburger did this to me? Embarrassing! But it's an indicator that my body is adapting to the changes I'm enforcing upon it, and I'm happy for this change. I like being satisfied and being satisfied with less food is a very, very good thing.
