Tuesday night. Int. Conversation between Jezzy and Hubby.
Hubby: Hey - I lost 2kg! [Taps his tummy]
Jezzy: When?
Hubby: Just over the last week. I didn't eat as many chocolate bars
and the weight just fell off.
Jezzy: Mffg.
Hubby: Is good isn't it?
Jezzy: The weight just fell off?! I have to work my arse off for
weight to come off!
Just cutting out junk food and exercising more doesn't do a thing for me!
I have to eat a lettuce leaf a day and go on marathons to lose weight
and it *still* takes forever! I'd *love* to lose 2kg in a week! Gawd,
people told me the weight would just "fall off" before my wedding and
I didn't lose a gram. Not even a milligram!
And ever since I married you, I've gone from someone you used to just
pick up and swing around to having the figure of Nigella Lawson on one
of her greedy days! I mean, it's nice having boobs for the first time
in my life, but fukkit! It's so hard to buy clothes and look good in
random photos when you're not thin! All the crap I go through berating
myself for not being able to go back to my pre-wedding weight - and
you just manage to have 2kg "fall off" in a week?!!
Whhhhyyyyyyyy????!!!!

Yeah, I have issues.

It's the exact opposite in my house. If I even WALK PAST a cookie, I gain weight. OTOH, everyone else in my house is skinny as a rail, while I'm a fat pig.
I don't get it. They eat worse than I do.
Life ain't fair.
Guys sort of don't really get wrapped up in the weight thing. But maybe that's becasue our bodies simply "direct us" in the matter of what we eat, for example;
1. Candy Bar or Malt Beverage (beer)?
2. Devils food cake with Chocolate frosting, or Pretzels (with the Beer of course!)
3. Salad or French fries (salad never tasted good with a beer! But beer disolves the "fat" in a french fry therefore it's a simple potato
4. Meat or salad (the protien of meat is the basic building block of life,...soooo steak and a beer are the perfect "health food"
:)
(Seriously I went from 145 lbs at 22 to 216 lbs at 62. A pound and a half a year is not a baad long term weight thing,...I hope.)
Lol - my hubby lost 10 pounds when he got his new job and had to walk further from the parking lot... and it only took 2 weeks. This is a man who eats at least 2 servings of ice cream every single day of his life. Moreover, I worry that he never has vegetables or fruits; but he still maintains his weight within 10 pounds all the time, even after hitting 30. (Everyone said it would change then, but they were wrong.) Meanwhile, I could traina year for a decathalon, run it, accidentally get lost on a deserted island with nothing but berries on it right before the finish line of the decathalon, live there for six weeks, and I would be really lucky to shed five pounds, which I would immediately gain back the second I ate a slice of bread.
Makes me sick.
Metabolism is a funny thing. In my family, we have better than average metabolism. I weigh too much because I eat too much. It's that simple. I WOULD be one of those annoying people who would just cut out choccy bars for a week and drop a few pounds...except I don't have the willpower to not eat the choccy bars, so who cares? I just love food too much to do anything about it. Oh well. Alex's metabolism is slower than mine, actually, and he's been very concerned lately that he's gained weight. Hence, he's on a diet. Now if he were just living IN THIS HOUSE right now, I'd be set...if somebody ELSE is dieting, I can actually restrict my food intake for their sake. I won't sit down and eat ice cream and chocolate and cake in front of a dieting husband, you know? It's funny how I can manage to do it for somebody else, but I can't manage to do it for MYSELF.
Now that I don't have a car and have to walk/bus/train everywhere, I've lost so much arse... but it's still quite a bit bigger than I'd like it to be.
I should point out, though, that I lost a lot more weight (as in fat) when I was doing aerobics and weights, instead of just the physical jerks on their own. Have you invested in a small free weights set? The dumbells should be sufficient. A lot of girls in the fitness forums I used to frequent at the time were always averse to lifting weights, thinking they'd put on muscle and look all bulky and masculine, but women generally don't bulk up like guys because they're built differently: plus there's that whole question of testosterone.
He's not 30 yet, is he? You will have your revenge... ;)
I hate him. I've run two miles almost every day for the last four months and haven't lost a single f*king pound...
