Hi all,
In my experience it's not good to take weight off too fast.
I had a bout of pneumonia a few years ago and went down to 58kg from about 63kg in the space of two weeks.
My body seemed to react to that an put on more kilos than I lost over the next few months. Kilos that have were very hard to shift.
I get the feeling that when you lose a substantial amount of weight in a short space of time (incidentally, I never diet, I just stop eating snack food) your (my
) mind seems to react in some hard to control way, because it thinks the weight loss might go on forever, and it starts to push you in the other direction, so that you end up building up your old bad snack habits again. At first you think it will be ok (because you've lost all that weight, haven't you
) but it creeps up slowly till you wake up one morning and you're back at your original weight, plus some!
I've come to the conclusion that I need to control my mind, but sometimes my mind seems to control me.
Good effort Eric and everyone.
Let's NOT go gentle into that good night...
Suzy, if you feel healthy and have energy and stamina, why worry about your weight. Does your GP think it's anything to worry about?
Maybe there's a genetic component to your lithe size?
Maybe some weight training would put some muscle on, that would increase your weight. A lot of maybe's.
Molly.
P.S.
Hubby just said too much time sitting at the computer doesn't help.
