The Lounge	Kids Should NOT Diet!	Apr 17 2007 21:00 (UTC)	44
Unfortunately, I began dieting in grade six. I had a low self esteem and I was slightly overweight. I do believe it is led me to where I am now, borderline eating disordered and no self esteem. I agree, people as young as I was should not diet. They should wait until their bodies have stopped growing before they determine if a diet is right for them.
The Lounge	What is your nationality?	Apr 17 2007 20:57 (UTC)	113
My relatives have lived in Canada since before World War 1. I am of Scottish and Welsh decent. People say I still sound very slightly Scottish though, isn't that crazy? My friend's sister met me for the first time and when I left, she asked my friend if I was from Scotland. Of course, my friend said very distantly and told me the next day! I am very proud of my roots.

You know you weigh yourself too often when you get on that darn scale every time you use the toilet...buck naked. I'm so addicted, it's not even funny! PS, I love cats too! My two cats weigh about 8lbs each. So far I've lost the equivalent of both my cats! Haha!

klecot - I was sitting outside during my supper break at work last night and the sky went from blue to black in less then 2 minutes. Boy was it scary!! The wind was pretty intense. It didn't rain where I was, but it was sure windy and cloudy. As I was driving home later that night, you could see lightning light the entire sky the whole ride home. Pretty scary! Lots of branches down and power outages around this area. But yes, it did break the heat quite well. :) supersized - I'm not a big fan of Toronto's underground either. Too dingey and stuffy and too many people. I have reactive airway disease (similar to asthma) so the stuffiness and crowds get to me. I do enjoy the fast speed and ease of Toronto's metro though! It sure beats driving.

Hey klecot! I'm from outside of Toronto kind of. Hehe! I live in a tiny town that nobody's heard of, but it's kind of near Toronto. How's Windsor? I've actually never been there!
Weight Loss	10,000 steps a day infomation	Jul 17 2006 19:48 (UTC)	4
I'm going to try and start walking between 2 and 5 miles every day. Probably not all the way up to 5 miles because I walk a lot at work, but I'll try to get up there. Thanks for the information!
Foods	What must you eat everyday?	Jul 17 2006 19:33 (UTC)	71

Alright, thanks guys! So, I want to eat lots of fibre, drink lots of water and avoid lots of sodium?

Sorry about the bold. I didn't know you weren't allowed to do that. SORRY! :( I usually drink 1/2 a bottle a day during work. I work in a hot kitchen so I sweat a lot and I'm constantly running around. It helps me say on my toes and not feel faint.

viczan - I think I'm on the Kitchener side of Toronto (not sure exactly what side that is, west side-ish?) :)

Thanks for the help guys. It's nice to know I'm not the only one doing this. Clairmiles, I don't do it every day. I only do it about once a week or so, but when I do C and S, I do a lot! Not as far as 100 cookies, but I'll go through 4 or 5 cookies by C and S. I realize that some calories are absorbed through saliva and my mouth, but isn't it better to only absorb some than all? If I didn't C and S, I'd eat all of those calories for sure. I've struggled with eating habits for my entire life. Sometimes I have anorexic tendancies where I'll restrict my calories a lot, and then other times I'm a compulsive over eater. I don't have severe tendancies that would greatly affect my health, it's just something that I've always had to deal with.
Weight Loss	Question for females only!	Jul 14 2006 16:48 (UTC)	4
I usually gain about 2lbs a few days before and then during I'm always 4lbs heavier than normal. Don't worry though! It'll go away soon! :)

I live in a tiny town in the middle of no where, but it's kind of near Toronto. Wahoo! Hehe!

Ya I know! I buy Propel in big cases from Costco or Sams or Wal Mart. Hehe! Anyway, I'm off to bed now. Good talking with you! Nighty night! hugs

I think my favourite has to be grape. It's SO flavourful but it has hardly any calories! I was surprised when I first tried it. I thought it'd have a weak, gross taste but it really doesn't!
Foods	Propel	Jul 14 2006 08:14 (UTC)	11
No kidding! I think we're pretty much alone on here right now. It's really early in the morning. I worked a late shift tonight and I'm not really too tired. Hehe! What flavour do you like best?

Thanks for the pointers! It was very kind of you! :) I recently had a checkup with my doctor (about a month ago) and she said all my "bodily functions" were excellent. My blood pressure was better than ever, my blood sugar level was normal and I had enough vitamins and calcium and all that jazz. I didn't even realize how few calories I actually ate until I came here. And I have no idea what to do about it! Hehe! Edited Jul 14 2006 23:22 by Erik Reason: Please no all bold posts

Thanks! :) I'm 5'5 and I weigh 148lbs. Eek! I think I have a lot of muscle, but I want to get into a healthy BMI. I've promised myself I won't go below 140lbs. That's my stopping point. I just want to get rid of my belly pooch and thunder thighs. I love this site because it suddenly makes me aware of everything I put in my mouth. Some days I can eat SO much and not even be aware of it. Now I really know how badly I used to eat. :S
