Dieting success

[Sparky]

Yeah that's why I can't have them (I'm diabetic).

One cup of orange juice contains about 110 calories, and I was going through eight cups per day, sometimes more, while diet Snapple is calorie-free. Orange juice is also rich in Vitamin C and is an excellent source of potassium and other nutrients, so unless calories or sugars are your major concern you're better off with the juice than the tea.

Congrats, Brian! (*goes to play The Sims 2 and sends Cassini to work out*)

I can't take back my hunger, sadly. My weight is normal, though, if it wasn't for my Mom telling me to get below 60 kilos (man, I am 174 cms tall, it's not that much, is it?)

I mean no disrespect to your mom, but I find that a tad disturbing, as that's not overweight by any stretch of the imagination.

And today, I made it. My thanks to the makers of Minute Rice, instant mashed potatoes, and bagged salads, not to mention the New Asia restaurant for many pints of steamed broccoli. And, of course, to a wonderfully inspiring red-haired lady in a violet skirt.

Congrats are in order, Cassini! What a great feeling it is to realize how much weight you've lost.

Aah, I remember my Senior year in academy (with graduation coming up) I went on a diet of nothing but bread, water, grapefruit and multi-vitamins for about two months. With the help of extra exercise, I lost a lot of weight, more than I thought I might. I don't recommend it though. It took a LOT of discipline and determination, it was REALLY HARD, and even though I was getting my grains (with traces amount of fat), fruit and vitamins, I know I wasn't getting all the nutrients I needed. But oh, I remember how excited I was when I put on a certain dress and *gasp!* it was BIG on me. I ran up and down the hallway of my dormitory, telling all my friends, and showing them what the dress looked like on me now. That was such a great feeling.

I hope I'll have that feeling again someday. Hopefully soon. I can tell I've gained weight while on my vacay (doing little else but chill, and also cooked/baked some sinful food), hopefully going back to work will help. But I rrreeeaaalllyyyy should start my power-walking again. Wish me luck.

I'm only 4'11" and weigh around 90 pounds. I think that's my normal bodyweight. Before hand I had to GAIN weight, since I was underweight. (NOT because of strict diet) This is because, for me, it's as hard for me to GAIN weight, as it is hard for others to LOSE it. XDD
