Oh, yes, it is a harsh life to lead. Tempting foods like chocolate, oh! how I love chocolate! I could literally eat a whole bag of hearshy kisses in one day. Though, I have learned, if I do not want to become like a monster of flesh and a toxic, saggy bag, I learn to discipline myself to work out. When you eat, and you realize that your pants are no longer so loose, but they're beginning to tighten up against your stomach, that's the time to realize that it's time to start working out. I have gone months on, and months off where I exercise, but letting it go too long is simply out of the question (for me). I just have it in my mind where I will simply not allow myself to get fat. I've gained 20 lbs since last year, but last year I was told that I was losing weight too fast, and that I was at an unhealthy weight. So, here I am at 135-140 lbs at age 19, and I wish so much to roll down to 115 lbs, if not lower. There is always the question: Am I too fat or too thin? I guess the only sensible answer would be to watch out what you eat, obviously eat right, and exercise. Whether you take breaks on and off, make sure to hop back on the wagon again, and not let it go too far, whereas you may start to think it's just too hard, it's too much, it's too boring. Well, MAKE IT EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do whatever you can, but if you want to stay in shape, you're going to have to do it on the discipline of yourself. I can never allow myself to get fat, it's just the way I am, and have always been. As soon as I think I'm feeling a bit too heavy, or getting up on the scale, I hop on the bike, or treadmill, or I go speed walking. Whatever it takes, I try my hardest to keep the shape a young woman should have. I do not have much self-discipline, but when it comes to wieght, I strangely have the utmost discipline, and carry it out. It's all up to the person who has the worries and thoughts about gaining any more weight. Only that person can make the decision for themself. It's hard, but isn't everything in this world?...
