Calorie Counters Don't Go This High
My sister once told me in casual conversation that one of the key indicators of a weight problem is that you always think about food. For example, you might snarf down half a can of Barbecue Pringles in 3 minutes on a Saturday afternoon just before writing a blog post. You might make your husband slam on the brakes the moment you spot a donut shop on the side of the road. Or in advanced stages of your problem, you may actually dream in the wee hours of the morning about the cereal you're going to have for breakfast.
The situation is thus.
My friend and I started waking up early every morning to go running on the beach. We run 4 miles every morning in the blistering heat. Here's a picture of where we run.
But the problem with this running gig is that it's turning me into a friggin garbage disposal. I eat and eat and the bottomless pit in my stomach never fills up. I'm always hungry! And as aforementioned, I'm always thinking about food. So I'm pretty much canceling out all benefits of physical activity by eating like a horse all day long. I don't know what the deal is. (And don't suggest that I might be pregnant. I don't want to pee on another stick and then be pissed off when only one magical line appears.) But any advice anyone may have about how to exercise and not quadruple my calorie intake would be great.
Happy eating.

no, but truly, drinking lots of water helps to fill you up, so it kinda satisfies the hunger feeling. Also you can have popsicles! That is a yummy snack that you can have loads of and it isn't that bad...as long as their not fugsicles :)
As far as sticks and lines go, don't get caught up in all of that. I know it's hard not to, but that is just a frustrating way to look at it. Just enjoy your life while it still belongs to you.
