Not even over...First things first: YOU ARE NOT FAT! Not even overweight! You are completely normal for your height and age. <br /><br />Secondly, remember that the food you consume also supports your daily organ functions, as well as everything else you do. If you don't eat, your metabolism slows down, so that when you do eat (because your body has been trained to not eat) it will stay slow so it can get the most nutrients out of that food since it's unsure when you will eat again. Breathing, walking, talking, digesting food, every motion/action *even blinking!* that you body does burns calories. That's not to say don't run, because we all eat extra calories; nobody eats the exact number of calories they need to survive--you're not LIVING that way, you're just EXISTING. Life is short--LIVE iT!<br /><br />Third, eat when you are hungry! It's hard to determine this at first, but I'm sure you know by now when you're hungry and when it's just appetite. I think I've read in your blog before that you usually like to eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day, which is good. That's the best way to eat. <br /><br />Don't ever say you don't deserve to eat. Food also helps brain function and repairs muscle tissue that gets tiny tears when you workout. You need the nutrients in food to help repair that. You already eat fairly healthy. Two piece of pizza and a snickers once a month, or even once every two weeks isn't going to make any difference in your weight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
