Welcome to my Thursday 13 Edition No 11
My Thursday 13 Edition #10 was about Weight Loss Tips. Most of you enjoyed the tips so I decided to post another 13 for you that helped me very much:
13 Weight Loss Tips that help me skimming
Part II
1. Counteract the “Rainy Day” principle. If you decrease your calorie count without necessarily increasing your physical activity level, your body is going to crash. Your body is going to say to itself: “Holy s#%t! I better store these calories as fat, because I´m not getting enough of them.”
2. Don´t compare yourself to others.
Every body is different. It stands to reason that everybody will lose weight differently.
3.Magic pills:
Nonsense! There is no such thing as a magic pill. Don’t fall victim to the hype of the latest fat-burning drug commercial.
4. Identify your ideal weight:
If you’re 5′5″ with a certain build, there´s an ideal weight that matches your body type. Find it - and make that your goal.
5. Ignore Ronald McDonald:
You don´t have to eliminate fast food completely, but you should avoid it at all costs.
6. Maintain your priorities:
Sure, your sandwich would taste amazing with an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise… but do you really need it?
7. Become your own snack fairy:
It´s okay to snack between meals - small meals throughout the day are enough to keep you satisfied, as (much like the sensation of being full) you never want to feel hungry.
8. Bring balance to the force:
If you eat the same foods over and over again, you´re going to get bored - unless they´re foods you really, really like. Feel free to change it up - keep your tongue happy.
9. Train wrecks will happen.
One of these nights, you´re going to go out with friends and eat your weight in steak (likely blowing any kind of progress you had made for that day). Instead of repeating the overindulgence, just put yourself back on track the next day.
10. “Water” you waiting for: =)
If you’re not drinking enough water, your body will let you know. Thirst is an amazing sensation - quench it.
11. Love the oil companies:
Just like your car needs high-quality oil, so too does your body. Not all oils were created equal, though it´s hotly contested which ones are better for you than others. I love a good olive oil - it’s 100% natural and is rich with Omega 9 fatty acids.
12. Identify your exercise:
No exercise was created equal. You might like running, so run. You might like jogging, so jog. You might like stationary bikes, so bike stationarily. Find the one that works best for you - that isn´t too much of a chore for you to do regularly throughout the week.
13. Satisfy cravings with extreme prejudice:
If you´re hungry for something, eat it. Don´t deny yourself the simple pleasures. If it´s possible, eat only half of what you want. Losing weight shouldn´t be torture for anybody.
Ed. Note: I´ve tried to jump into my favorite suit today - guess what happened? It fits!!! *doing the endzone dance*
Thanks a lot for your comments - you helped me a lot to get skinnier again. I still exercise 1 minute for each comment I recieve.
It makes me very very sad that all your lovely comments posted to my blog have turned into “anonymus” after Blogger has coerced me into switching to the New Blogger Version! I was no longer allowed to log-in to the Old Version and had to decide between giving up this blog (I could not access my dashboard) or switching. So I switched with the result everything is a mess. If you realize your comment appears as “anonymus” when you post it today, please post it again by using “others” or leave a link in the comment, so I can visit you! Thanks a lot =)
Happy TT,
And now…

Marge: This is the worst thing you’ve ever done.
Homer: You say that so often that it lost its meaning.

February 2nd, 2007 at 4:59 pmYesterday I saw on the BBC that studies showed that soup can help you feel fuller for a much longer period than solid meals. If I can remember it right, they compared the stomach to a sieve. Throw in food and drink, and the food will stay on the bottom, and the fluid will pour through. Mash the food and fluid together, like you do with soup, and it will pass the holes of the sieve much slower, giving you the feeling you’re fuller.
