Minor weight issues
Last autumn I gained weight. Not much – around 5kg – yeah I know omg that’s kinda pathetic. What’s my problem? Can’t help it, it’s problem for me personally because unfortunately you don’t need much and you see it or at least feel it in this body. My clothes are little tighter and I feel bit bloated. And I rather do something about it now than when I have to start buying bigger clothes.
So I decided that I will stop eating candies. And then I should exercise more, I mean I should get my arse of the chair and move. Both of these I have actually already started in some degree. I haven’t eaten candies (dammit I won’t count the meringue…) since, well it’s just couple days but short memory. And I have been swimming, but I am going to try to do it more often now. Hopefully I can start wearing my clothes again. I don’t know what exactly I should do to my diet in general. It’s pretty much mostly veggies and I usually buy low fat dairy products.
Funnily this has been little difficult for me. I have never been your slimmest girl but I’d say I have always been “normal” boundaries. And while almost all other girls looked in the mirror on gym lessons and saw there an ugly fat girl instead of beautiful teenager, I saw there myself and I was quite happy with this image. So I am feeling bit guilty for feeling like this now 10 years later. I don’t get myself sometimes… I look in the mirror and I am not so sure anymore if I really really like what I see.
Nevertheless swimming and not eating candies can’t be that bad, at least my teeth will be happier.

I’ve struggled w/ weight issues my whole life. And at the end of the day what motivates me, is wanting to be healthy and physically capable of living through an apocalypse. Yes, i said apocalypse. ^^ I know that if the world was thrown into chaos, i’ll need as much stamina and endurance there is. So i make myself go to the gym, work on my cardio, work on my weights. I haven’t noticed too much of a difference, but when i look at pictures of myself from a few years back, there is a diff. So i guess all the work is paying off!
For me it’s important to find that balance though. I can’t completely give up all things glorious (like dark chocolate), and eat like a bunny. My motto for most things in life is, everything is ok in moderation > _ <

I’ve always been happy with how I look as well, but I really feel like I should exercise more. Not necessarily for weight reasons (although that might be an issue as I’m on a college student diet… * cough *) but for health reasons because exercising is great for your body and I currently do, um, none. Good luck with not eating candy, you have more willpower than me :D

Hanna, you can always blame the age. When getting older metabolism slows down. Don’t give up from all treats, because then life tastes nothing.Just try to eat more veggies and not let blood sugar go down. (or who am I tell, 15kg overweight… but happy)

@Christine: Dark chocolate… mmm… It’s really yummi in some weird way, but I can’t eat it much (which is good thing :P).
@Seregi: Uuh I don’t think I am quite ready to give up on age. Anyway I am sure I’ll find flavour in my life even without strawberry ufos. :)

Good luck with that.
5kg is a lot for me, seeing I’m not that tall. I notice 2kg more already and it makes me feel bloated, I just don’t feel good.
Not eating sweets is a good start, I’d say ;)
