I was watching X-weighted on TV the other day, and a woman who weighed about 205lbs was on. She was pretty short, and her measurements were the same as mine (I'm 5'9), but it really bothered me that she wasn't heavier. I know that sounds awful, but hear me out on this one:
She's 40, so her metabolism isn't great. She eats a fast-food combo a day, and usually has take-out dinner (pizza, chinese food, something along those lines). When she didn't have take-out, she had a dinner party with friends and made WAY more than the 4 of them could eat in one night (for leftovers in front of the TV later). For a snack, she'd eat cookies, a big bottle of pop, and salted nuts.

I'm 20, and I have been eating healthy for 5 months. I have a slim fast for breakfast, a slim fast and a snack for lunch (usually carrots or a half-pita), a couple snacks during the day (grapes, green pepper segments or a small bowl of granola), and a healthy dinner (no added salts, no enriched white bread products, no added sugars). I exercise for 30-60 minutes a day (20 mins yoga, 10 mins stretching, 30 minutes curves), and go walking 2 times a week for 45 minutes (gradually raised from the 10 minutes I started at in April). In March, I had lost 15lbs since January, and by May, I'd somehow gained back 12 of them. Now I've finally lost 2, which is a good start... But here's my point.

Why is it that people who eat terrible, horrible things, make excuses, make unhealthy choices, and don't do anything weigh less than I do? It's so aggrivating! I'm working my butt off, and I'm gaining weight.

I'm sorry for the rant, I'm so upset and frustrated, I need to vent somewhere. And I'm sure you ladies would be sympathetic, and maybe even know where I'm coming from.

Just keep on track, and we'll all be fine :P

Those shows really don't represent most obese people well, do they?
