[>rosie]

this is a response to a thread, and i thought i would share it in
here:
anyone want to add their theory?





i am not sure this will help you at all, but maybe someone
else.....................its a GREAT question.

this is what i finally did.....................

i am 55yrs old and DO NOT want another hobby, and certainly NOT a
hobby of routine exercise, so this WILL NOT help anyone who like
gyms, or routine exercise as "a hobby" or social
event.......................

i KNEW that eating properly is where i needed to start.
a WOE that i would use for the rest of my life.
i am your typical CARB ADDICT and in the past, if i started my day
with carbs,
i have either eaten carbs all day or whenever triggered or spent my
days, with that HUNGRY feeling.

finding a LOW CARB WOE made perfect sense to me and was my answer.
i am no longer hungry, nor obsessed with eating.
i no longer TRIGGER that feeling, and if it happens, i recognize it
and take action to stop it.

now.....................about exercise....................

i have been LOW CARBING for the past five years and during that
time, have come to accept that exercise is a MUST in my life.
finding exercise that I WILL DO, AND ENJOY was a trick!
(with much ass kicking over at ASD-LC, i did, and i do!)

i walk no less than 3X's a week.
two miles at a time, going at a rate of 4mph.

i attempt to get two 20 minute sessions of YOGA in weekly.(at home,
via VCR tapes)
www.yogazone.com

(my yoga is my substitute for stretching and for weight lifting, as
my body is quite enough weight to lift and control!)

these are the basic things that i do for myself.
i have come to accept them to be as routine as brushing my teeth!
(i still have the occasional mental lazy battle)

am i skinny?

NOPE!
(i'm in good shape, 5'10" in size 12-14 jeans)



do i intend to be skinny? ever?
NOPE!
(been there, done that, and its ridiculous, unhealthy and ugly)



am i obsessed?
NOPE!
