Bah

I need to stop gaining weight. I am up 10 pounds since the beginning of summer. Of course, I haven't been to the gym in a while either, sigh.

It doesn't help that the boyfriend is a good cook either. Yummy food is much harder to slow down on. :)

EXACTLY. He is such a good cook!

"Good" doesn't have to mean it's fattening. Or that you can't, you know. Moderation and all that.

Pretty much anything I make is more fattening than her non-my-cooking dinners. Those are ususally something along the lines of a package of carrots or a can of beans or the like.

exactly. the big problem is that I need to stop eating out for lunch, which was my big meal of the day before I met you!

So substitute some ingredients for carrots and beans.

If you have some grand suggestions that would replace the 130 calories in a pound of carrots that aren't, you know, another pound of carrots, feel free to speak up.

Moderation.

I'm at the gym right now!

On a computer? I am jealous!

Actually that was my phone. See? Who needs a netbook? (:

I would just break a phone, I would rather have a netbook.

[identity profile] sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com 2009-09-11 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
You... you don't think you'd break a netbook if you tried to use it on a treadmill?

It's the Love Ten! I gained weight when [livejournal.com profile] jwright_71673 and I started dating, too.

It is so nice to eat with someone you love but I need to crack down on this!

Happiness makes you fat. Judging from my size, I'm ecstatic!

Yeah, it's pretty hard to keep a slim figure when you're dating a good cook, who starts most recipes with a stick of butter. I think it's a little amusing that Yaron is suggesting moderation or lower caleroies or whatever, given his beliefs on cheese . . .
