Full and Fic Update

[teenage_hustler]

OK, so I'm losing weight at the moment, right, and I've been very disciplined about it. I keep getting worried that I'm starving myself, but I can convince myself that I'm not actually doing that, because I'm still eating at least 1500cal a day. That's not starving yourself, right?

Well, whether I'm actually starving myself or not, I still go to bed

If you want to loose weight you fill up on healthy foods filled with fiber. Try veggie chili, it really fills you up and is pretty low cal.

Also, burritos. The beans have plenty of fiber and get the wraps that are low cal.

Another one is fill up on fruits and veggies, I snack throughout the day on fruit and it's what keeps me full.

Another trick is to have soup for dinner and have a large glass of low cal something (juice or vitamin water) with it so you're going to trick your stomach into thinking that it's got more food than it's got.

I'm a weight loss queen because of my eating disorder but I do know how to lose weight in a healthy way so if you need any advice talk to me.

Thanks darling. All really good advice. I do quite a bit of that sort of stuff, but unfortunately I abhor fruit xd. I eat it every day but I do not enjoy the experience. I've gotta start doing the soup thing, gahh. Need some good recipes...
Normally I'm pretty good, esp. lately. It's working, it's really exciting! But you know how every now and then you get a bit fed up? yeah, I had one of those moments. Equate it to me being really bored and still kinda uset about Zephyr. :)

HOW CAN YOU HATE FRUIT. HOW JUST HOW. I EAT SO MUCH FRUIT I JUST HAD AN APPLE, STRAWBERRIES AND BLUEBERRIES. AND THEY WERE SO GOOD.

Sign up for Hungry Girl, they always give out low cal advice. They swap out high calorie meals for low calorie meals, also, watch Supersize Vs Superskinny, they give out good advice there on what not to do.

I get those moments, and I binge on fruit, it's how I stay so thin because I just eat so healthy.

I should give you the recipe for the artichoke soup I had today. And as for the being bored thing, go out and take a walk when you feel like you're eating because you're bored or take something low cal and cut it up into small pieces and eat it slowly. That's what I do actually I usually smoke but DON'T YOU DARE START

[teenage_hustler]

I DON'T KNOW I JUST CAN AND EW APPLES STRAWBERRIES AND BLUEBERRIES EW EW EW!!!

I shall check out hungry girl and supersize vs superskinny as soon as i am able (probably this weekend xd)

yes, i took a walk yesterday out of boredom. it was nice. i shall definitely do that more often, i think.

and hon, i'm 30kg overweight. i don't need to fuck up my body any more than that, as much as i enjoy smoking.

I was going to offer a few tips for foods that will keep you full, but the_opheliac more or less said them all.

I do find that wholegrains are more filling, and I need less brown rice, say, than I do white rice.

Also, I have a policy of doubling the amount of vegetables in any recipe, since I'd rather get more of my calories from them.

Also, protein keeps you full for longer than carbs, or so I believe. Certainly, tofu fills me up a lot quicker than rice.

All that writing is brilliant! Good luck keeping on top of it.

Mmm, yeah. It's interesting doing this type of thing, because you really start paying attention to the effect certain food has on you. Like (back to another fruit-hating rant) fruit doesn't fill me up AT ALL. Like, I'll eat an apple and banana, and they're both pretty big fruits, right, and I still feel like gnawing at the table when I'm done with that (and it takes me about 20 minutes to eat an apple, so it's not one of those eating-too-quickly things). Still, I persevere.
I do like my vegies. I've taken to making vagie pastas and korma and stuff, mainly because they're cheaper than meat and I'm a dreadfully poor uni student xd. But yes, I shall do that doubling thing.
Yeah, I'm really good at keeping on top of things, if I do say so myself, so hopefully that talent won't wane.

Beans and tofu may not be as exciting as meat, but they will provide protein and keep you full - and they're much, much cheaper. :)

[teenage_hustler]

i like beans and tofu! and lentils! oh, lentils! i need my dad's lentil recipe! and pumpkin soup! and other soup! soup! *starts drooling*

Honestly, I don't understand the appeal of fanfic. I understand that others enjoy it, but it confuses me.

Alas, in saying that, I do like really bad fanfic. REALLY shitty ones. Oh how they make me laugh.

[teenage_hustler]

yeah, i dunno. it's just something that i got into years ago and the obsession has never wavered.
really bad fanfic ftw!

I would be happy to beta-read your story! You just have to know that beta-me and mod-me are separate, so if I tell you to take out a comma, that's not anything that's required by the mod... just a suggestion from your beta. :)

Send me an email if you like -- I'm back from vacation and really want to help you get your story posted.

[teenage_hustler]

You're a darling, but it's all taken care of. Thanks!

[flyingcarpet]

No problem. Glad you were off having fun -- I am paranoid, so I thought you were not answering my emails because you hated me. :P

If there IS anything I can do/help with, just let me know.
