Well I can REALLY relate to your problem. I understand too when you are tall everyone sees the BMI as underweight situation. I am 5 foot 9 and weighed just today at 139.2
But of course it is that time of the month all women ENJOY! NOT! LOL
I have had back surgery and the only doctor that would even discuss my weight is my back doctor. He told me ----> am I to stay at my present weight! More weight more stress on my frame and since I have that crumbley back thing 100% I can not handle the stress of a few extra pounds! Also of course, as several folks know,
more weight, more breasts and
heavier breasts, (Boobs are fat) in turn back problems! Most doctors look at a tall person and say your weight is just fine. BUT Physcologically, physically, and even health wize it is way better to be under-weight than over. The satisitics show that over and over again.
Also if you are like me you can not just run out and buy another complete wardrobe when you gain weight! LOL
So Actually my closet and my clothes with-in it tale me when I need to drop a few pounds.
The main reason I prefer also to watch my weight like a hawk is because it is way easier to lose 10 pounds than 50. I prefer to be at a certian weight, and diet regularly than to find a quick fix every now and then.
Here is my advice to a weight loss thing or what I do....I know some of you ladies will bash me because the pharmicutical companies tend to bash herbs to the max.....
But remember they make millons off of penicillin and it was a herb at first ans look at Codene..
Taurine 350 mg
Red Chinese Genseg 40 mg
A prego vitamin without iron ---makes me sick!
Also I have found that the best thing that makes me resist my biggest weakness, any bread thing is to really pig out on meat! With in my case, my blood pressure and etc are great!
Whats hot spicy? also are there any foods that are natural appetite supressants or that speed metabolisms?
Sorry it should read 'hot and spicy' meaning burn our mouth peppers..
and research suggests (not proves, just suggests) that any pepper will increase your metabolism, and start you feeling full faster.
I'll speak for myself, but I will assume that most of us meant our comments more out of concern than any form of meanness or condemnation. There are many people that simply are not healthy in their weight loss. And many more who like they are looking for the quick and easy way out of financial problems are looking for quick and easy ways out of about just everything in life.
Puppypal, I am honestly supportive of you and doubly so for the back problems you have. I've know people like you with health problem who keep weight off for that reason.
However I'm always going to err on the side of caution. If someone who by their numbers, and yes they are just numbers, but they exist for a reason, seams to be in a great place; I'd like to dig a little more to make sure that there are not underlying issues that are much more relavent then weight. In your case it's obvious that your health concerns add another reason or perspective.
There is nothing wrong with being thin, we all want that, I like myself, how I look and how I am treated much better when I am thin. I think those that are thin deal with alot of jealously from those who 'wish' they had their problems. Yes, there are considerable health risks with being overweight, but taken to the other extreme there are just as many problems with being too thin. Don't kid yourself just because this not the current epidemic. You can kill yourself either way.
So I still stand by my advise that the best way to get rid of the flab is to tighten and firm up the muscle, that takes exercise not dieting. If she has fat to loose that will naturally come off in the process.
