:
: 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

: 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!"

: for more than

: am about as

: : I'm a hair under 6" (about 5' 11.75") and am about 135 sopping

: :
: : 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.

: : : : Given the people on this list and their loved ones affected
: by various
: : : : medical issues which will require a lifestyle change, I want
: : to show my
: : : : concern for their challenges in a meaningful way.
: : : :
: : : : I assume many of the CF-Community people are like me,
: spending a large
: : : : amount of time behind a computer each day, eating large
: : portions of just
: : : : 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.
