BlueEyedMonster 0 #1 July 2, 2003 I'm skinny and can eat whatever I want. So why punish me by making everything smaller?? I want it all supersized! What do you think? Quote— CHICAGO (Reuters) - Kraft Foods Inc. , the largest U.S. food company, on Tuesday said it would take steps like capping portion sizes and providing more nutrition information as it, like other companies, faces growing concern and even lawsuits due to rising obesity rates. The maker of Oreo cookies, Velveeta cheese spread and a host of other foods said it will limit portion sizes in single-serve packages, eliminate all in-school marketing and provide nutrition labeling in all markets worldwide, including markets where it is not required... http://abcnews.go.com/wire/US/reuters20030701_220.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueEyedMonster 0 #6 July 2, 2003 QuoteI'm guessing you're still under 30. Not for long... but I've heard that about 18,21,25, and 29. Well I'm 29 and weigh less than I did in high school. I just walk a couple miles a day. Oh and the good genes help too. Skinny, athleticism, and youthful looks run in the family. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #7 July 2, 2003 Folks, enjoy it now. After you turn 30, actually it was about 35 for me, your metabolism will suddenly change overnight and you'll be like "where did these extra 10lbs come from." I've always been on the trim and thin side, but now I am more a medium frame. I have to watch what I eat.

And how old are you ? I used to be like that, 6'4" and 155 lbs - made a great floater. Now I'm 47 and desperately trying to get down closer to 200. Your metabolism is gonna slow down at some point and when it does, your lifetime of having to eat a lot is not going to be any help. In the meantime though, enjoy, have another Oreo for me.

Amazon 7 #19 July 2, 2003 QuoteIt does catch up with you....eventually! I used to be a skinny floatybutt. at 6'1" I have a BIG wingspan... and my fall rate was very slow with even a small jumpsuit. I was doing pretty good with weight and body condition till a car accident in 1993 when I was rearended by a 3/4 ton Ford Pickup truck doing 65 MPH. My Mercedes was totalled and saved me but my back was still hammered... too much inactivity at that time and the depression brought about by all the things I was told I couldnt do any more. The weight monster really snuck up on me. All that said.. I am just going to do what the hell I want. After making 8 jumps in a day in early June my back hurt like hell, but with the fact I was finally doing what I want with my life again.. its all balanced out. My back and body may hurt but I will NOT give up skydiving again. For some people its hitting 30 or 40 for the metabolism changes, for others its getting pregnant and having a baby and never quite ever being able to get rid of the weight after that. Others NEVER have to fight their weight in their entire lives. Each person is different, and as you go thru life you have to adapt. I work in IT. Most of my fellow co-workers are people who are half my age. They exist on 3 basic food groups, pizza, beer, and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. ITs a very sedantary job sitting there monitoring thousands of servers all night long. And when you have all that junk food sitting around its hard to not snack on it. For me the final straw was going in for my annual physical and stepping on the scale and seeing the nurse bump the BIG weight up one notch from where it used to be. That was in Feb, and since I dont want to smack the ground like a sack of crap on every jump. I have the motivation now I should have had all along. Exercising hurts like hell but its all good because since Feb I have managed to lose 40 pounds. By this coming January I plan on ordering my new canopy and it will NOT be over 190 SQ Ft. and I sure as hell will not be loading it much over 1:1. I have to work very hard to be relative with people I am jumping with.. Hard but not impossible. I have at least proved to myself and to others I still can fly after being out of the sport for 22 years and just returning to it this year. It will be interesting to see though how many people in the current crop of jumpers will still be jumping after they pass the half century mark.

misskriss 0 #20 July 2, 2003 You might be skinny, but you could also be unhealthy.. Everything in moderation. I eat probably 80% healthy and 20% whatever I want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #21 July 2, 2003 So why be such a dick about it? I was morbidly obese a few years ago. Now I'm healthy. I'm hungry all the time. I force protein so I don't have room for Oreos, except very infrequently. At Perris, I'm sitting with Loudiamond, B-squared, and McGowan. Somehow the discussion starts about why fat folks should pay extra to be fat on airlines. LouD remembers I was one of those folks most of my life and says something acknowledging that. I distinctly remember people rolling their eyes as I came down the aisle. Hey, whatever. I had to lose the weight so I could be a participant in my kids lives, and when I broke my feet I could barely move around. IT'S A CONSTANT STRUGGLE. If you've been blessed with a great metabolism, I'm happy for you, but just like any other kind of wealth, don't be a dick about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueEyedMonster 0 #23 July 2, 2003 QuoteSo why be such a dick about it? I wasn't... But, if you want me to I can be. I was just trying to beat it through a few peoples heads that I will more than likely not gain weight when I turn whatever age is next. I can eat what I want as much want... its in my genes.

Deuce 1 #24 July 2, 2003 My opinion: Yes you were. People need to be responsible for their health. For some, like you, that's easy. Like inherited wealth. If you have money, it's much easier to choose not to spend it. If you metabolize everything, it's easy to say you choose to eat healthy, cause you don't notice the snacking. I'm done with you. Bring it. JP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueEyedMonster 0 #25 July 2, 2003 And how does showing off a gift that I have make me a dick? edited to add: QuotePeople need to be responsible for their health. For some, like you, that's easy.
