Hey everyone,
So I'm technically not a US "college student" but I'm an Aussie "uni student"... I went to the US on exchange for a year over 07-08 and gained about 10 kilos from eating all the glorious bagels/cookies/brownies/Panera bread that America has to offer! I'm back home now and although I have only lost around 2 kilos, I'm much more toned. But my problem is that I overeat way too much! I really can't control myself.. some days I eat 1200 or 1500 cals, the others I eat like 3000 cals... Usually on the weekends or when I'm home alone I eat heaps. Anyone else wtih this problem?
As for my workouts, I do Bodypump three times a week, and sometimes walk around, but not much... I'm not a fan of cardio. My stats: Height: 161 cm (I think that's 5 foot 3ish???) Weight: 63 kgs Goal Weight: 55 kgs
Thanks and seeya!! Hope to hear from you :) |

aw honey i understand what you are going through. let me tell u my experience before trying to offer some advice... althoug i am still a binge eater. i went away to college in the usa for a year of exchange and in the space of four months packed on about 10 kilos... literally, from binge eating out of sadness, boredom, confusion, loneliness (although i didn't know my emotions were causing it). and even though i have lost about 5 of the kilos (it took me 6 months) i still binge eat to this very day, and sometimes these binges cause me to put on another 1-2 kilos, that eventually fall off again... so i'm in this neverending cycle. but i'm not the kind of person to talk to anyone about it, not even a doctor... i can't admit it to anyone. as for a solution... i find that the days that i don't binge eat is when i'm really really busy, and i actually do not have time to go to teh pantry and take food out. however, if i'm really in a binge-ing mood i will set time aside to binge by not sleeping... :( and if you think about why you want to eat, slow down, take some breaths and get away from the kitchen, it may help. also going outside for a walk always puts me into a better mood, or watching a movie/tv shows. hope this helps a little, and you realise you are totally NOT ALONE, i binge eat once a week at the least :( |

Is jump roping as good an exercise as running?
In terms of calorie burning, moderate jumping is about equal to running a 10-minute mile, although calorie burning is always a function of time... Read more
