Food, Food, and More Food Thread

Uh, why do you need to gain weight?

Because I'm at least 10 pounds underweight. :sweat: And I wouldn't mind having a butt and boobs too. :hehe:

There's this one girl at work that wanted a butt when I started working there....she works out all the time, especially the glutes, and eats a lot. I can personally tell that it worked. :beaten: Boobs...any right thinking guy enjoys natural ones of any size. :mrgreen:

Seriously though, she was a little underweight too...ensure is a good way to gain some. I did that when I got really sick a few years ago and lost about 50 pounds. Took about half a year to get it back.

My problem is that i'm too lazy to work out a lot. Maybe I should though, but I haven't the slightest idea how or where to start. And my natural breasts are so petite they aren't worthy of the title "boobs." :hehe:

Wow, you lost 50 pounds from being sick? :( Glad you got better. :) And how does Ensure taste? It looked kind of looked like a chalky milkshake. :bleh:

Do they have a 24 hour on your island? A women's-only fitness center would probably be the best, away from the prying eyes of men like me.

My ex was flat as a wall, but I didn't see anything wrong with that.

Yeah...I got gastritis from NSAID (anti-inflammatory) therapy for my back, and I refused to eat. Eventually my mom forced my admission to a hospital when she saw how thin I was getting. Surprisingly, the food there was pretty good :beaten:.

Actually, ensure tasted pretty good. Get the ones in the cans that you just have to shake well. Chocolate is the best.

We have a Curves here (such a stupid name!!!), but I have no idea if it's 24 hours. I'd rather do a workout or something that doesn't require me to have a membership because I know I'll waste my money by not going too often.

Cool. :D

That sounded so scary. Glad you got help for that and got better. And thanks for the Ensure info. I might be willing to give that a try one of these days..

I'm sure there's exercises you can do at home, they'll probably have guides online or at a bookstore. You just have to be careful you don't hurt yourself.

Thanks :). It wasn't as scary as the nurse that took three tries to get my IV in... :google:

Hurt myself? Yikes, that sounds scary. :sweat:

There was one time I went to the hospital and the nurse took two times to get my IV in. It didn't bother me too much. I guess needles in general don't bother me.

On topic: I ate some chicken and brocolli with rice. I wish there was more brocolli than chicken. Dessert? Maybe one of those little custard tart/pie thingies. :mrgreen:

Hmmm...I had left over lemon chicken...that take out stuff turns angry after it's been in the fridge....:bleh:

Lemon chicken from takeout places is just nasty. :usuck: They usually make it too sweet for my liking and I end up feeling nauseated afterwards. I prefer my lemon chicken on the more sour side.

Gaining ten pounds doesn't mean that they'll get located there... :beaten:

True. Though a girl can hope, can't she? :mrgreen:

Targeted workouts will probably help the chances of it getting to the lower portion...:beaten:

I think cori was hoping for more of a 50-50 distribution.

cori, try doing some lunges or climbing stairs. they really work on the gluteals. the women at my gym do those a lot because they worry about saggin bottoms. in your case, it would be to build a bottom.

no answer on how to grow a bosom naturally. victoria secrets make great push-up bras, though.

ensure is definitely a great supplement for calories and nutrition. we feed that to patients who are malnourished in the hospital. my dad also has problems with keeping on weight and he drinks it, too.

Sure, when I don't post, we're not off topic. :rolleyes:

No you misunderstood...I was referring, to you, Goya, and Vlad.

LOL! :rofl:

Vlad's actually really good bringing in the red wine, but Goya feeds off of another type of juice. ;)

[quote[That's a bad thing? :beaten:[/quote]

Well, when it keeps you from getting through doorways... :sweat: :beaten:

A good way to keep from feeling too hungry is to eat a combination of good fats and protein, and stay away from caffeine and a lot of carbs. I usually try to have oatmeal, some organic sausage, and eggs for breakfast in a small amount. I never feel hungry after eating that.

Try reading the Schwarzbein Principle. It's more of a lifestyle than a diet, but everyone I know, including my mom and aunt have lost weight and generally feel better following it.

O! Thanks for the tip! I consume A LOT of carbs, so I've been trying to cut back. And I never used to eat a lot of meat, so I'm trying to slowly incorporate more of that.

@Cori: I had a friend who was severely under weight, but she used to consume a lot of junk (chips, pop, etc.). Just because you can't see the effects doesn't mean it's not effecting you inside. She had really high cholesterol AND high blood pressure. :sweat:

Haha. I'm gonna leave that one alone!

That sounds like me, but I don't eat *that* much junk food. I don't do chips, or soda or fast food. My weakness is chocolate and especially pastries. :drooling: I really should eat more veggies and cut back on all the carbs.

Vegetables are mostly carbs....you mean you want to cut back on the starches, like rice, flour, wheat, and potatoes.

Um, yeah that's what I meant. :sweat: But I probably can't cut back on the rice, so I might just go with brown rice instead.
