I am glad you find it so easy to lose weight with having as many cheat days as you do, but you might want to avoid giving weight loss advice to masses. I've said this before but it might be time for another reality check. These constant cheat days with you still losing weight are because you are already so big and your body burns so many calories by being the size it is. Your example of 5'7" female weighing 250 pounds is someone who is severly obese and her body will burn many calories by being the size it is. For the slightly overweight person trying to lose those 10 pounds it is a constant struggle because their margin for error is so much smaller. I think you are being quite naive when you discuss how off days don't mess up you and could possibly be good for you. 716691@blogcritics.org Fri, 9 May 2008 10:59:02 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/06/072857.php#comment-715718 Glad you're gaining your confidence back. As a side note, regarding your mental health journey, I will consider it a victory when your bio at the end of your blog isn't self-deprecating. (not that I'm analysing you ar anything....) 715718@blogcritics.org Tue, 6 May 2008 09:33:35 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/06/072857.php#comment-715713 Actually,(you're right) They say having one "cheat" day a week will keep you faithful to your diet... 715713@blogcritics.org Tue, 6 May 2008 09:08:38 EDT
