RE: gaining weight for winter

[Guest guest]

For a change someone is speaking my language here! I have lost sooo much

with this way of living. I am still looking okay but if this goes on, I

will also look like a skinny little lizard, and yes, winter was very

uncomfortable like this! We are now in spring on this side of the world! I

am 5'4 " and now weigh 121 lbs (you an your old fashioned measurements!).

For now its okay but I am scared I will loose more, although it has started

to fall of slower and slower. Any suggestions ?

>>Spill the beans ...

hehehe, I am scared to spill the beans. might reprimand me here! I

am not a healthy eater at all and I hate exercise. I am the laziest person

around when it comes to work-outs. Occasionally I get myself motivated

enough to do callenetics, but that is it!

For breakfast I have leftover meat with salad and a slice of rye, or french

toast (rye) with syrup and palala. If I am too lazy to make salad, I just

grab some fruit instead.

The rest of the day I chew whenever I feel like it on things such as dried

mango, dried banana, assorted nuts, sweets (I love nougat!). If I had

french toast for breakfast, I will get hungry around lunch time and have

pilchards or tuna with another slice of rye.

Dinner is a full cooked meal with meat, brown rice and veggies (cooked or

raw in salad).

I drink water, but not enough, I know. I drink carbonated ginger ale which

I know I shouldn't have, but it is so nice.

I have the occasional cup of coffee when I crave it, with oats milk.

Food combining??? Too much trouble!

As you can see, I don't eat well. I run around too much. I think I have

good genes for one. Secondly, I keep dried mango in my car for in case I

get in the chewy mood - it keeps me from eating something I really shouldn't

have.

I think what did it for me is the total absence of wheat and dairy. I don't

cheat on that no matter what. It makes me very sick. I don't have corn or

potatoes either. I just don't cheat anymore, 5 minutes of pleasure vs. 10

days of discomfort. naaaa, it doesn't add up.

I also don't eat to the point where I feel 'stuffed'. Just until I am

comfortably full. Don't know if that will make much of a difference.

Supplements I don't do well with either. Buy it with good intentions,

remember for the first three days and then forget. I know I have to take

calcium not having any dairy. I just wish I can remember!

In the beginning days on the BTD, I battled to stay away from avoids. Then

I read a book " The alternative to diet " by Diane Hampton. Absolutely

brilliant. That got me through the difficulties of saying no to avoids.

If this helps, I am glad, but I doubt it will. It came with love anyway!

A. Hultman,

What an amazing mix of metaphors.

As to the plight in general... two words: tanning bed.

Cover your face while in it, don't overdo, use sun block if you must. Other

options include full spectrum lighting, indoor humidifier (does wonders to

Miamize the North). I was once at a Minnesota hotel that had an indoor pool

(heaven!!! go THERE daily) by which stood one poor, lone palm tree inside

the steamed-up glassed-in area, outside which was snow.

I make it a point not to spend long in states where they have three

different kinds of road salt and five to seven different kinds of ice

scrapers just at gas stations.

You might find yourself less persuaded by the weather if you wear North Face

gear all the time, drive a well-heated car INTO the garage and generally do

what you can to ignore the environment.

Failing that, fatty red meat. Eskimos, remember, don't have squash but live

on blubber. That wouldn't be too bad as long as it wasn't autolipolysis.

Keep your fat on the plate rather than on your person.

And best wishes. You know, plane fares to tropic locales are cheap these

days.

I second that! I can't believe it when someone says they can't gain weight!

Lord knows I can help them out there!!
