I don't have the upper body strength nor the desire to be pummeled that are
requisite to becoming a boxer. :-)
I mostly wear clothes that hide my scrawniness and let people focus on my
face, which is my best feature. I consider myself damn lucky that my face
didn't get that drawn look some thin people have.
Weight gainers aren't really a good option for me because, like Larry Lyons,
I'm a type 1 diabetic and have to balance food and insulin carefully. Every
doctor and nutritionist I've asked about those told me to stay away, as they
can do really bizzare things to metabolism and blood sugar. Things that
normal pancreases can handle, but that I can't deal with readily.
My life is more like, "Eat something, you look like a swizzle stick!"

: I'm so skinny that I can't sit comfortably in a wooden chair for more than

: strong as a mewling kitten. The only reason I can even do pushups is
: because it's like bench pressing a hamster.
:
: I'm a hair under 6" (about 5' 11.75") and am about 135 sopping wet (which
: probably adds considerable weight, given my long hair). I also have a big
: frame, which just makes me look like a scarecrow at this weight. I look
: good at about 180-185, I look human at about 160.
:
: Being this thin has negative effects on my already iffy self-image. It's
: not good for body, mind, or soul.
:
: So yeah, I want to gain weight. It's as important to me and my health as
: losing weight is to, say, BenB.

: : :
: : : I assume many of the CF-Community people are like me, spending a large

: : : about anything that passes for food each day for lunch, and utterly
: : : deficient when it comes to exercise.

: : : Given that it is the lenten season and I am supposed to be giving
: : : something
: : : up anyway, I am going to work consciously to change my habits
: : as a tribute
: : : to those who have to change theirs. I am going to eat healthier
: : : and get more
: : : exercise. Tonight when I get home I am going to lift some
: : weights (I would
: : : do cardio but I already walk half an hour each day as it is),
: : for dinner I
: : : am going to have a grilled chicken breast and some broccoli, and I am
: : : probably going to just have a salad for lunch. Tomorrow I will
: : repeat this
: : : process, and will do so everyday until I feel I have really
: : : changed my ways.
: : : And the snacks, the Famous Amos cookies my company provides
: : developers for
: : : free and somehow make their way to my desk each afternoon, nixed.
: : :
: : : That's my pledge, anyways. I don't really want to think about what my
: : : arteries look like, or what they are going to look like in 10
: : : years. With a
: : : little determination, I am confident I can drop about 10-20
: : pounds in the
: : : process.
: : :
: : : Anyone else up for such a challenge? I am sharing my thoughts
: : in the hope
: : : that some other people feel strong enough to want to make a
: : : change in their
: : : lives. If that is the case, I will be willing to organize this
: : effort and
: : : put up a community Web site where we can all track our results,
: : : post tips /
: : : links / other stuff.
