The realization that one's metabolism is slowing down.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I'm 21 at the moment, almost 22, and my metabolism hasn't slowed down at any appreciable rate. However, I am also eating pretty well, and I get more exercise than I used to because I'm forced to walk around my college campus which, while not huge, isn't terribly small either.

Last year I moved into the dorms (I'd been living at home while I took classes at a Community College) and the quality of my food decreased pretty dramatically. This year, I'm living in an apartment and cook my own food, but I probably get about equal levels of exercise and I'm doing pretty well. I do eat some fairly fattening foods regularly (we have a grill we call the baconator, and Costco sells 4 meals worth of bacon for myself and my roomate for $10. Do the math) but in general I have a healthier and tastier diet than last year in the dorms. So I'm not sure which factors are the most important here, but I'm not experiencing any significant problems.

2) Rye, thats not Ironic. The doctor was just horribly wrong. Stupidity =/= Irony.

Yeah but Alanis wasn't actually singing about anything ironic.

Stats: 6'3", 145 lbs.

Isn't it Ironic, Don't you think?

No, the irony is that I was expected to be tall and skinny and beautiful like a super model by my family, and was asked to be a child model and stuff when I was young, and I ended up short and stout and icky. xD

And again, being wrong isn't Ironic.

So HAH!

they shouldnt complain.. you look pretty and your nice.. thats more then i can say for the bitch supermodels that walk around my college.. i like you better :p

I don't like directly contradicting people's beliefs but having befriended attractive sorority girls I can assure you not all of them are bitchy.

I'm sure you don't mean to say all, but I'm against any sort of 'reverse' discrimination :P

I think the weight I gained was actually from eating very very poorly due to a week of a very poor work (like paycheck work, not joules work) schedule. Waking up early to go to school, going to work directly after, and coming home late, just to repeat the process over again.

I was eating things like microwave dinners and cotton candy I made with the cotton candy machine that was put in the break room during national cotton candy day. I only got 15 minutes to eat my "dinner," too.

Now that my hell week is over, I have had a chance to eat better, get some more sleep and work out. I have already lost most of the weight I picked up. I started eating a protein bar and one of those yogurt smoothie frusion things during my 15 minute breaks for dinner, too. Seems to work out just fine.

You could not be more incorrect if you asserted that Hitler was alive and well, in control of the international Jewry.

Edit: Oh yeah, I'm a lucky bastard, like my dawg Michael. He's 21, I'm 22, we're both skinny bastards who do nothing but lie around playing videogames, drinking soda, and eating snacks. If there was justice, we'd be morbidly obese.

Doesn't matter, because internally you're just as unhealthy. Unless you do something soon, you'll have a few years cut off your life expectancy.

I'm 5'1 and weigh 92lbs. But its because I don't have money to eat, nothing to digest. I feel sorry for my unused metabolism.

OH TEH NOEZ!

Watch me as I completely fail to care. I look fine, and I'm not going to nonce around like a douchenozzle adding five or ten years I don't enjoy to my life. Short fun life > long unfun life.
