Fatter than God - Page 2

I gain about 15 pounds every winter (seasonal depression?) and I've found the best way to lose it is to just get so involved with something else, I forget to eat.

Seriously! Like this July I adopted this little psycho chihuahua and I started researching all her health problems, I was walking her a few times every day, trying to train her, reading doggie articles online, etc. I lost too much weight and had to purposely try to eat more fattening foods so I didn't look too thin.

Get a new hobby that interests you and excites you so much that you stop thinking about what you want to eat and food can actually become a pain. "Damn it, I'm hungry but I don't want to stop and eat...I wish there was a little food pill that I could just pop so I wouldn't have to stop and eat and chew and swallow and all that BS, it just takes too long"

Maybe I'm just weird, but it works for me.
Going to the gym also works beautifully, but it's not as easy.
Oh wait, one more idea! Get a job involving physical labor! Then you'd get paid to be active!

Rat milk is also designed to quickly produce 800 punds of rat - just no all in the same animal.

Ah you can still fit Cadbury Chocolate Fingers through that......!

(If picture is not attached please bear with me - its the 1st time I've tried)

i'm kind of all over the place too... so I'm glad we can all commisurate together. My thing is that I don't ever weigh myself, I just go by how clothes feel. For instance, my hot jeans didn't fit me too well in the spring, but I manage to get them on yesterday with few problems - I did have a conversation with my jeans telling them that they need to get on my body or else - and they did. Maybe a bit tight in places, but I could get them on, I could move and quite frankly, I like my jeans to be tight in my butt and thighs... it's just more comfortable. Sure they could fit better, but I'm happy for now and I'll keep trying to make them fit.

How I do that - that's another story... and I'll fill you in as it goes along. In the mean time, good luck, Bri!

I am trying the outside motivating factor when it comes to getting more exercise. I don't know how many resolutions I've made and broken about getting out and just doing some more walking in the past 6 months. In December, the new Cardi Welsh Corgi pup is due to arrive. I know that he will FORCE me to go out and walk. Pups have so MUCH energy! Plus, Cardigans have an enthusiasm about things that you just can't help but share with them!

I got puppy baby pic's from the breeder today. Don't know yet which of these little cuties will be my new walking partner:

Tonchi · 10-11-2005, 06:37 PM

Get the first one, Mari. If his nose color has already filled in, he is either the first born or the strongest of the two pups. More developed internally, choose him.

As for the issue at hand, weight, I see the guys have gone off discussing chemistry while the gals are talking about UNHAPPY experiences of the past. Ladies, please realize what is the underlying problem: you are not HAPPY. It makes all the difference in whether you will be successful with anything you do and expecially where that applies to your health. The problem is not what you eat but why you eat it. Find somebody who can guide you to treat THAT and the rest will come without you even noticing. Trust me, I have been there.

Yeah, I would agree with you, Tonchi. However, I will get the pup that the breeder picks out for me - there are 4 others, too. Cardigan Welsh Corgi's are scarce as hen's teeth. I had to apply for the pup just like applying for a job and give references and everything. The breeder is highly reputable and her Corgi's consistently win at a agility and herding trials on the national level. I felt fortunate to be one of the 6 lucky Cardi pup applicants she accepted. Since I want a companion animal, not a show dog or one for breeding, I won't be given the pick of the litter which is fine by me. I researched Cardigan breeders pretty extensively and actually turned down two offers of other puppies because I am so impressed with this breeder's dogs and her philosophy. Any pup from that litter is going to make a fine walking companion and pal!

Here's a pic of a Cardi competing in an agility competition. I'm actually hoping for a blue merle like the one in the picture. Now is that guy gonna help you get fit or what?

'Splain something here ... two months ago you were checking out different boxes that you could live in down by the river because you were fearful of losing your housing, and now you're buying a pedigree puppy of high scarcity, already have a cat ... if you can barely feed yourself by your own admission, how can you take on the responsibility of pets?

10-11-2005, 09:49 PM

Heheheheheheh!

I clicked on the Cellar and saw that you had replied to this thread, and thought to myself, "Surprise me, Wolf! Please, don't be so predictable!" Oh, well...

Pets can live in boxes, too, and I'm on a diet. :p

Psssst! Brianna! The character is heavily one dimensional! Maybe the character needs to go on a diet!

Undertoad · 10-11-2005, 11:24 PM

A pet-quality dog from a better breeder is going to be $500-$1000.

10-12-2005, 12:17 AM

And?

Lower in calories?

Guaranteed to speed up your metabolism?

A great appetite suppressant?

Better than a home gym?

Guaranteed to bite Speed Trap Cop in the ass?

Will chase off Urbane Guerilla?

Carries a Glock?

What? I give up!

(I can see that not ALL of you have been hanging on to my EVERY last word here lately! Oh well, I've been known to forget stuff, myself)

We need to get something going in one of the other threads!

Tonchi · 10-12-2005, 01:35 AM

AND.. pedigreed dogs have more serious and frequent health problems, like displasia, tooth loss, eye problems, and weak lungs. They require watching and pampering to a much greater degree than mutts do. Vet expenses are astronomical and always come during weekends and holidays when you have to go to an emergency clinic at 3 times the usual cost. If you buy a show quality you pay up to $10,000; AKC Registered pet-quality dogs start at $650 in the states where I have known breeders. And letting the breeder choose the dog for you is begging to have it stuck to you, Mari. You pays your nickle and makes YOUR choice, or wait until a better opportunity. Goin' kinda fast, Mari, I'm inclined to agree with Wolf on this. I want you to be happier than just for the first few days after you get the little guy.
