and Be_gone_soon , this is the IT problem for me: all or nothing. I have a very hard time finding ballance between healthy eating and agressive dieting.Most of the time I am not even hungry. Go figure. Here is the thing though - I very often catch myself wanting food in my head, I may not feel hungry at all, but in my mind food very often is all I can think about.I do not eat after 7 p.m, not even a little bit. I do have a very light fruit salad or a single piece of fruit before 7p.m and that is it. Also, I came from Europe and we have such a different way of eating back home! If you will ever come across the book "French Women Never Get Fat", don't think twice of getting it. We eat all our carbs in the morning, usually it is croissane or breakfast pastry with a cup of coffee. Lunch is usually the bigest meal of the day, we eat what Americans have for dinner at lunch time. This way all calories are burnt by the end of the day. For supper we have very light salad, fruit. We never eat on the go, we sit down and enjoy our food. We walk long distances all the time or bike which gives us plenty of exercise. I had no trouble staying at 130-135lb all my life and I didn't have to limit myself. If you will ever travel to Europe: France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Eastern Europe, you will be amazed at how thin and fit Europians are.Then, in 1999 I came to the USA and,naturally, assumed American life style: fast food, limited activity ( you don't walk, you drive), eating late, eating in a rush. 7 years later I found myself at astounding 235lb. So, yes, it is kind of hard to find a ballance once again and teach myrself to treat my body in a healthy way. I have nobody to blame but myself. One thing is for sure: it was much easier to gain lbs.
*yay* I feel good.
, and today I went to the gym and went on the elliptical machine for 45 minutes on the cardio setting, I feel great after a good work out, but 1 question, my toes went kind of numb when I was on the elliptical, is that normal?
