Question Posted Wednesday November 29 2006, 9:19 pm
Lately I've been gaining a bit of weight. Im not sure why.. I just am. People in my family have commented about it, and it gets me mad, because I'm not like obese or anything.. or have fat hanging out anywhere (well i have a little bit of a pot belly, but it goes away pretty much when i hold my stomach in)and my thighs have grown a bit too. ahh! i dont want to get fat! i guess sometimes i just eat because i am bored, or i feel like i must have a full meal, like rice, fish, spinach, and a fruit, which is what i just ate for dinner. (im african btw) maybe i should get gum instead? but when i do i usually end up eating it all in a day. same with other foods.. i just finished like a pack of 20 cookies today, and in like 3 days i licked some chocolate spread... similar to nutella, so its like 90% gone. sometimes i feel like i cannot control it. its not that we have bad food at our house or go out often or anything. i just dont eat a the appropiate things, in the appropiate way, i think. how can i improve my fitness? I do basketball and some dance & volleyball (and school gym stuff) in the winter, but when im off the court, i can stil eat alot or something. ive tried running.. but now its become too cold for that and we cant have an exercise machine. in schoolnow we're doing fitness, so we're like firming our body and stuff, but not much since its only for middle school. I want to try cheerleading adn do more gymnastics in the spring (im also a dancer in a school play) and I'm not as flexible or anything as some of teh other girls.. so what are ways that like everyday or so I can do? Also any tips for my health? I mean.. dieting is stupid, but like, any helpful hints. :) thanks!
**from my title name, just guess what my play (actually a musical & a book!) is! lol

Keep the fruits and veggies in an easy to reach place in the fridge and just munch on them. Keep them in your room each day..well don't let it go bad or anything. Also drink plenty of water. Each time you want to eat something, drink water and wait it out for ten FULL minutes. Most of the time, your cravings will be gone. And also turn off all the lights in the kitchen after 8pm...it'll make you not wanna get food. [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]
