Rep Power: 0 | | | testing my ticker
thanks for the support idohair.
i was fat for a short while from about 14-16 and that time i just sort of, stopped being fat, it was weird, maybe a puberty thing, i dunno. i went through puberty, put on 50 pounds, once it was over, the 50 pounds just seemed to melt off.
now almost ten years later, i know the true meaning of being fat, and my back aches all day which leads me to smoke up, which is no good the way i treat it.
cmon ticker! |

Rep Power: 6 | | | Good Luck with the weight loss bro. I thought I could never lose weight but 1 year later I dropped 110lbs. Motivation and changing the way you think about food is the most important part of a diet I think. Exercising will follow once you are locked onto your goal.

Rep Power: 66 | | | stop the weed bro..
once in awhile is alright, but when u smoke everyday its obviously an addiction. the side of effect of weed is munchies, for anyone who has never smoked before, it is pretty much a nasty hunger. it's nasty because it gets rid of all your inhibitions, while u have them u don't care if ur trying to lose weight or not, you'll eat w/e you wanna eat for the hell of it. I do it once in awhile, and that stuff is DEADLY do a diet, main reason i've cooled off on it for a bit... but if your back is killing you there are lots of other options, perscription painkillers, although slightly addictive, are MUCH better than weed... not to mention you're fucking up your lungs with all that smoke bro

Rep Power: 0 | | | oh yeah, a full blown addiction, I am just now, almost 10 years after i started smoking, trying to really really get out it. I was in the mindframe of wanting to smoke up before doing anything way to long, time to get out. Luckily I dont hang out with anyone who smokes and my gf doesnt smoke either, so the only thing that can hurt me is myself right now, it is a hard cycle to break out of, but one day at a time.
anyways im making a page in the diary forum so it will be easier to relay info to people. |
