'Someone' has discovered that they only need to sit still and they can burn more sodding calories than I eat in a week
Yet if I sit still I gain 6lbs.
Probably not helped by the chocolate and wine. But still!!!

Well you will burn 'x' amount of calories just by being alive too, you know
most likely fewer than that muscly mister you've got though.
(berk, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:29, Reply)

I think I gain by just being alive
I'm sure that's the case.
My metabolism works in reverse. ;)

Hehe, I know how you feel
my metabolism is somewhat sloth-like too.
(berk, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:32, Reply)

The average sloth looks like a sprinter in comparison to me
I probably smell better though.

Probably.
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:33, Reply)

Since the average sloth has moss growing on them
I would say that yes you probably do.

I've managed to put on some more weight this week.
This makes me happy though.

Yay! how much Jeff?

( girlinthehole, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:29, Reply)

About 3lbs

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:32, Reply)

It's a good start.

( girlinthehole, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:33, Reply)

I could do with putting on about a stone
Maybe a stone and a half.

Have you been to see a nutritionist?

( girlinthehole, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:39, Reply)

No.
It's all thyroid related. I just go to the doctors most weeks and let them have an armful of blood to play with, they then suggest I either take more or fewer tablets. At the moment, the balance seems okay, but that might change.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:41, Reply)

A nutritionist would be able to point you in the right direction to help put weight on.
Just saying.

I'm assuming that it will help a little.
( girlinthehole, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:43, Reply)

thank you for reminding me
I gotta give my doctors some blood for the opposite one

You can have a stone and a half from me, no problem
I won't even miss it! :)

It'll be quicker if you gaz it to me.

I hate the bloody gym. Can't stand dieting and haven't been climbing in far too long :(

( girlinthehole, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:45, Reply)

He does, bless him.
Yet I still suck in my tummy and obsess over how big my arse is! Almost every woman I see (especially at the gym) I compare myself to - yes, I'm that narcissistic.
I really need to MTFU - it's the wine.
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:48, Reply)

I don't worry about the gym.
There's worse women than me there.
( girlinthehole, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:50, Reply)

That's what I keep telling myself
And then I see my red face in the mirror....I look like a well slapped arse.
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:54, Reply)

I sweat like a navvy.
Sometimes I don't even bother shaving my legs.

Keep eating sweeties in the evening...
I suspect actually that this month I have gained weight for the first time since May 2009. This irks me, but I haven't actually gone and gotten myself weighed because I might not like what the scales tell me.
(berk, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:30, Reply)

I refuse to get on a set of scales - there's only so much shock and awe I can take!
But every so often nothing seems to fit or I see a photo of myself and think "Shit! Who is that fat bint?!"
Then I eat less for about ten minutes or so...until I think, 'life is short and chocolate and wine taste good'.

I'll never be thin.
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:33, Reply)

I went on the scales the other week.
Baaaaad idea.
( girlinthehole, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:35, Reply)

This is why I do not own scales
I got all arsey and OCD about it, and realised I had to throw them away when I was trying to work out what I'd shat in grams.
It's much nicer to go to Boots once a month/6 weeks and go, 'ooh, I've lost 3lb!'.
(berk, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:38, Reply)

I'm quite good at staying off them.
I was just curious. THe trouble is I've put weight on with muscle but it's still shit seeing it on the scales.
( girlinthehole, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:40, Reply)

If your clothes fit and you can walk or run where you need to go without passing out then you're probably fine.
I don't think many of us are happy with our physical appearance but mostly we're stuck with it :(

I bet if you look back at old photos of yourself you're amazed at how gorgeous you were, yet at the time you thought differently....

We're all so screwed up :(
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:39, Reply)

I remember being thin and still had no self esteem.
Was nice lying in the bath and seeing my ribs though : )
( girlinthehole, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:42, Reply)

The last time I was thin was just after I split up with the farmer
and I was quite unhinged. I looked great but I was as mad as a beard on a madman.
Ah...those were the days.
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:45, Reply)

Pants-on-head mad?
seriously though, I'd rather be overweight and happy than thin and miserable. And I wouldn't say you were fat by any means!
(berk, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 22:47, Reply)

Not quite pants-on-head mad
more hysterical laughing followed by tears and then sleeping with inappropriate (and sometimes dangerous) men. Bad, bad behaviour. No drugs though. Plenty of alcohol and risky business though...
