PLEASE) but i was flipping through one the other day and noticed their section on how to lose weight... they talk about making SMALL changes to get BIG results. such as cutting out chocolate, switching to diet soda, etc etc.
well... i thought... why can't i apply that philosophy to getting FATTER??? though i love a good ~3000 calorie binge and i love stuffing myself, i've been trying some tactics that are so easy i can do them every day.. and almost forget about them, at least until my next weigh-in
for example- i take the bus to work, so every day this week, i've eaten a normal, small breakfast at home (2 eggs, 2 pieces of buttered toast) and then as i walk to the bus stop i pick up 1-2 donuts at the convenience store- maple glazed fried donuts usually
i eat them in about twenty seconds flat, and it feels like i didn't even eat ANYTHING. it's a small change with a big impact, considering it averages about 350-700 calories (depending if i eat 1 or 2).
it's almost scared me how easy it's been to slip small, fattening things into my daily schedule.
i use cream instead of skim milk in my tea...
i use full fat cheese on my eggs, and butter instead of margarine...
my little secret donut habit
of course - which is fun, because i can eat as much as i like at home but the person at the shop of course has no idea that i've already had breakfast.. i think i might try getting 3 doughnuts soon! i love when doughnuts are light and fluffy and fried so they just feel like sweet air- i feel like i could chow down a half dozen if i was told to
i've tried to stop at a fast food place on the way home most days just to pick up even a side dish- such as cheesy potatoes from taco bell or french fries. even if i don't feel up to eating a full burger meal, i get the sides to pack in extra calories.. plus, they're yummy!
do you guys do this- small changes in your diet/activity to make sure the pounds start to pack on??? i think it's working, considering i'm ALMOST to 250 pounds - i'm becoming quite the porker
that'll be almost a 100 pound gain in 2 years!
tell me more tips if ya got em
