Heh, join the club :(

Dude, you sit at a desk all day. I'm still on my feet 8h a day, 5d a week.

[ak111]

Relatively speaking, yes. Nowhere near as actively running around as you used to be.

Hence why I arrived at that level far sooner than you.

[longbottle]

True dat.

But if I go back to a higher-energy job, my weight should go back down.

I still work at Target and am about the same weight...

[longbottle]

Yes, but you never left. I was fat before I worked there, and now I'm fat again afterwords.

[renichifreak]

I gained weight...

I meant that I'm the same weight as you about...

[longbottle]

I thought you'd lost a bunch a while back?

That is the poor man's dilemma. Quite a few of us are overweight beause we can't afford to eat healthy or join a gym.

[longbottle]

The expense comes from having to throw away "healthy" food that goes bad, or having to shop every week because it doesn't keep (as opposed to monthly for more non-perishable stuff).

And it's not fast food, it's the ramen and mac and cheese. Ramen is like 15 cents, and an orange is 50 cents. You'll feel more filled after eating the ramen, too. Soda is $1 for a 2L bottle (or less) and OJ is $3.50 a gallon.

The time to join a gym when you already work to jobs is also not easy to come by.

Edit: I realized that you were saying the opposite in there, but that grammar trip-up threw me off.

My weight's always hovered around 240lbs. It was lowest when I was in ROTC in highschool. Of course I was marching around the sizeable campus nearly every day. I find as I get older it gets harder to lose weight.

My problem is threefold:

One, lack of exercise at work.
Two, I actually eat lunch at work (I rarely did that at Target).
Three, I've cut back on my caffeine intake.

I figure if I bring those all back, I'll be able to get back to where I was.
