Part of my steak i dont eat

im a size 6 and sometimes a 4

and

im STILL FAT

I used to be X-small and have to go to kidsRus store to shop for clothes at one time and boy, I look terrible and boney.... I would never want to be there again.. ever...

I AM HAPPY OF WHAT I AM NOW.. AND I EAT REGULARLY AND HEALTHY FOODS NOW.. I have no other concern but to please myself... and be happy everyday.

...it's been a long time...I guess I forgot.

...and then there's the OPPOSITE EXTREME...where a view of your back is like looking at a catfish carcass that someone has picked clean.
"Different strokes for different folks!"
Sorry folks, this is a long one, but chock-full of good, tested advice:
Any or all the following may be making you fat:
1) ...salt (water retention)
2) ...sugar
3) ...ALCOHOL
4) ...well, uhm...FAT. Try to keep your fat intake below thirty grams, unless you happen to be nursing
5) ...caffeine. If the first thing you dump into your stomach each morning is coffee, then any resulting low-blood sugar issues causes you to binge on fatty foods AND sugar in an attempt to bring your blood sugar back up. This, of course, makes you fat.
6) ...comfort foods. If you must eat this, try making your own pita chips! Just toss a few whole pitas into your oven, set to 400 degrees. Bake for around five minutes in a preheated oven. Take out and break apart. Make hummus out of two cans of garbanzo beans ("chick" peas)/one cup of vegetable broth/one teaspoon olive oil/one fourth cup parmesan cheese/season to taste with no-salt seasoning/I like fresh cilantro in mine. Blend in a food processor. The idea is to eat low-to-no fat comfort foods.
7) ...eating too few meals. Eat like a diabetic! Never let yourself get hungry...food should always be on your stomach. Funny, huh? Eat around 8-7 small meals each day. I keep my meals around 300 calories each. Check the internet on what your optimal caloric intake might be, taking height, body-type, and age into consideration. More on this:
http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm
8) ...drink lots of water.
9) Keep up with your glycemic load. Very, very important! It should be low. Different foods have a different glycemic index. More on this:
http://www.glycemicindex.com/
10) If you get hunger pangs, tell yourself this is the feeling of the fat melting off your body.
11) MelodyGirl seems to have her fat-fighting game down.
12) Beware those who want to persuade you to sabotage your diet! They WANT YOU TO FAIL, so they will have an excuse NOT to diet!
Your own willpower will piss off others. Keep this in mind.
13) Never go to the grocery store hungry.
14) If you MUST eat butter (which is just not a healthy food, period), put HALF the amount described on the container on the side of your plate, take a bite of potato, etc., then eat just a tiny bit of butter. NEVER just slog it onto your food! The idea is to be mindful of every tiny bit of it you eat, while still allowing yourself to enjoy it, yet trying to come BELOW the amount described on the container. Gradually diminish the actual amount you eat, until you no longer crave it.
15) Eat high fiber foods. These make you feel more full, longer, and the other benefits are many, including the absorption and elimination of cholesterol.
16) Eat as you do normally, then introduce an every-third-day approach toward changing your eating habits. On the third day you employ these and any other methods of reducing your caloric/fat intake, as well as the fat-inducing foods listed above. Then, after you are comfortable with this, change this schedule to a "every-second-day" routine. When comfortable with this, change to a "every day" routine, having ONE designated day when you eat what you've been accustomed to eating...BUT NO BINGING.
If you have the opportunity, SWIM! Fat seems to dissolve off me very, very quickly when I swim around 3-7.5 miles per week. RESIST THE URGE TO EAT AFTER YOUR SWIM, BECAUSE YOU WILL BE STARVING AFTERWARDS! Have some designated snack waiting for you after your swim.
Contrary to the notion that swimming DOES NOT make you lose weight, YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT! GOBS OF IT! The reason why swimming may NOT make you lose weight is because of the intense HUNGER and resultant BINGING afterwards, UNLESS YOU HAVE A PLAN TO RESIST THIS.
17) HAVE A PLAN TO FIGHT YOUR DIETING WEAKNESSES!
And no cheating! One lap = from one end AND BACK.
Thirty three laps are required in your typical fitness club pool to equal one mile. Ask the pool attendant to be sure.

* hands you a Hershey bar *

Definitions are usually bulls**t anyway.

eat butter not margarine. just be mindful of how much u eat. don't sacrifice to the point where u feel teased by it, it will only serve to tempt u to indulge in other foods. but for the most part the above poster had some valid suggestions. however, i would like to emphasize this one point:

healthy eating won't make u fit, but to be fit u must eat healthy.

GET OFF UR LAZY BUMS N EXERCISE!! take the stairs vs. the escalator/elevator, park at the extreme opposite end of the parking lot (added benefit of no door dings). take a walk with a friend, S.O., or whoever u just had a meal with post-meal. ride a bike, join a boxing/kickboxing class and give maximum effort, u will be sucking wind HARD but u WILL burn a ton of calories. probably one and a half to two meals worth of calories in one class. go out dancing! especially now that smoking is no longer allowed indoors anywhere u can dance all nite and breathe clean air as u get ur cardio workout in. dancing is good exercise and GREAT fun! and yeah drink plenty of water.

smoothie suggestion : cook up 1/4 cup of oatmeal and allow to cool completely, dump it in a blender with 6 - 8 oz lowfat yogurt, half or a whole banana, 4-7 frozen strawberries (dpendin size), a little more ice, maybe just a touch of honey or sugar to sweeten to taste, a healthy dose of vanilla essence, maybe some fresh cut up mango if u like to be a little exotic, blend, enjoy. u get in a healthy dose of oatmeal and don't even realize u are drinking it. PLUS u get a good dose of protein from the yogurt, and u can even supplement this by adding vanilla protein powder to the mix. basically u can make this smoothie a meal replacement if u like, it's great as a meal replacement in the morning. IT WILL FILL U UP! plus it's super healthy.

or what u do is hire me to be ur personal chef. i need a job, and u need to live decadently. everybody wins! sm:)e

Only do this if you really want to and only to please yourself. Never do it for others or to make yourself something others want you to be.

If eating fatty foods makes you happy and you like your roll and you are healthy then do what you do. Don't let anyone tell ya different.

There are people who will love you regardless to your body type and or weight.

Again only do it if you want to and never do it for others. Be happy with yourself first and then if you think you need to do a little exercise to make you feel better by all means. But never do it for others.

a little exercise will make ANYONE AND EVERYONE feel good. a lot will make them feel even better! this is fact.

People with ugly attitudes are fat.....


fat heads.
