I guess that will show up soon on my ass.

Life is so unfair!

When I was a teenager, I used to love having cold, leftover egg rolls for breakfast. I would ask my mother to order extra whenever we got chinese take out so I would have some for the next day

Because I don't gain weight?

Serious said:

If I ate cake and cookies every day (let alone for breakfast!) I'd be 3 times the size I am now.

CarrieMpls said:

I eat a lot more than people assume I do. And not really the most healthy things. Especially when I am in a very unhappy phase of my life as I am right now I can eat all day (and all night) long and whatever I want and I even lose weight. And I don't do any sport as I am very lazy . So when it comes to that I am very lucky . But when it comes to other things I am not at all, like my pale skin. I know your skin is very light too, but sure not nearly as much as mine. It is really hard for me that everyone stares at me because I am so pale. I sometimes feel like an alien . I just came back from 2 weeks in Trinidad/Tobago and everyone here in Austria who spent the time in the cold European winter has more of a tan than I do .

...go ahead...rub it in!

I think I should have kept my mouth shut . I guess I am used to defending myself that I do eat enough when everybody keeps telling me I should eat more.

Serious said:

People who tell you that you should eat more, knowing that you are healthy are just jealous!

my brother is similar to ya, where he can eat any and everything he wants without getting huge....but it's finally catching up with him since he's started eating an entire box of Swiss Rolls everyday

now he's all shocked that he's developing a gut

thekidsgirl said:

Or concerned like family members and longtime friends who know that I am too skinny at the moment. But that will change again one day anyway.

Serious said:

it doesnt stop me from eating it tho

just in moderation

Serious said:

Well as long as you're healthy, I know you look lovely as well

Awww thank you .

Serious said:

same with tim tams. i buy a pkt, stick them in the fridge and eat one or two. go back a few days later- and they are all gone


males in my house dont they know a women needs chocolate on hand

prb said:

My ex-bf always had that problem with me. He had so much more discipline than me. He bought chocolate so that he could eat a piece or 2 of it everyday. But as soon as we had it in the house I just ate it all .

Serious said:

im not disciplined, i just know that extra weight affects my lower back and arthritis problems, so i have an incentive to be good.


hubby is the same with wine.

i hardly ever drank (dont at all now due to meds) but every now and again i would like a glass of wine, so id buy a cask. last one he replaced twice, and i still didnt get more than one glass

prb said:

At least I am good when it comes to alcohol as I don't drink any except maybe 5 times a year .

Serious said:

i was probably the same.

thats why in my family i m called cadburys- as in a glass and a half

prb said:

I just drink when I feel I cannot avoid it like a half full glass at a birthday party or at New Years Eve. But I don't like the taste of alcohol.

Serious said:

i dont like the results of alcohol


back on topic
4 brekkie i had a banana- at 11.30.
i was running late 4 work this morning- so threw a narnie in my bag. wondered why i was feeling ill at 11.30- id 4gotten to eat it

This is not unusual, but my favorite non-traditional breakfast is: a slice of cold pizza from the night before.
