i typed a lot, and pressed a backspace, all gone

In last five months i gained 5 kg, i have to loose it soon. its not because i am on eating binge, because i just sit on chair and do nothing. When i use to go to gym, my favourite exercise was walking/running on treadmill, but now i cant, so i have some exercise dvd, ideal 30 minutes, someday i even do nothing or 10 or 20 minute. I know even i say its time wasting, but the time i waste in whole day, i can easily exercise for 5 days in that time.

Thank God, i dont eat chocolate anymore, please stay away from icecream and chocolate. Eat something light, like cereals, or puffed rice (if you know what is that), eat less at night, have dinner 4 hours before you go to bed. I read somewhere, our brain cant differentiate between hunger and thirst, so, sometime drink something to check, if it was real call. you can fill up a glass with orange juice or grapefruit juice, or any other juice you like and keep on the table and sip in between. Instead of greasy food consider light stuff, whtie meat, turkey sandwich, tuna, garbanzo beans( those cans of garbanzo beans are so filling). eat soup, eat less rice, eat pitta bread, if you are a rice eater (like me).

nothing can beat exercise, if you are close to test day, like before 2 months, you can avoid, but loose the weight after you are done with exam. if everything is boring, play some music and dance with it, 20 minutes, . after age of 30, our metabolism slows down, you need to get some stress hormone going, "VERB", i read, even if you eat normal, you can gain 10 pounds every year, when you get older than 30, if your physical activity is zero.

loosing weight cant be tough, nothing can be tougher than usmle

I have the most horrid, yet hilarious stories about myself on Alli...I was on crunch time to lose weight n' I happened to be staying at someone else's house when I was using Alli...I'll tell you Arlete, I used 2-3 bottles of air freshener over a week period., the most horrendous stink I used to let out..ugh.....n' I always had to make sure I had to flush 3-4 times!! I had the hardest time going anywhere coz when I had to go....I had to go!! I made sure I always had an extra pair of undies coz you don't even realize if you're leaking..., I remember one time that happened n' I only realized something happened coz I kept smelling "the stink" n' next thing I noticed, the "stink" was following wherever I was going....I realized then, it was me!!....talk about my grossest experience in life ever....
