On-the-job weight gain

I gained weight when I was going to grad school and working but right now I'm about the same size as I was in undergrad.

I've definately noticed my weight yoyo-ing now that i work full time. I remember when i started college i weighed in at a whopping 108 lbs, now i weigh.. more than that..LMAO. I think i eat more when i'm bored and i've found myself always wanting to munch on something when i'm at my desk. I could never even finish a whole value meal before '05. Now I eat everything but the bag it came in!

Well I tend to snack during the day at work...that is why I went to Costco and got me some dried apricots, they are fulfilling and keep ur boy REGULAR. LMAO

I snack at work but it's on purpose. I eat 3 meals and 3 snacks in a day to keep the metabolism up and appetite down. But I'm not eating stuff like chips and candy. I'm eating stuff like yogurt, nuts and oatmeal. Healthy food.

DFW Dad said...

Don't get big on us SLA. LOL

TravelinMan said...

She leaving LM, probably got a big increase...could lead to large snacks.

DFW Dad said...

Yeah, that's true. Now that she is about to be off that Lockheed salary she'll be eating good. SLA, do you think you're good for about an extra 10 pounds now that you are making more than us?

SLA said...

I dont think my frame can handle it! If I had Shae's height I would be eating a whole pizza as i type...and dare anyone to complain about my keyboard being greasy!

DFW Dad said...

LOL... cool, just wondering since you'll be at Del Frisco's while we'll still be at Steak & Ale.

Perhaps the worst thing is that i will be closer to the mall. Thats good too i guess, because that's where i get my eyebrows done. I could be more like Chaz. Some one just put some cinnamon rolls or something in the microwave and it smells SENSATIONAL. but i bet it will taste like pasta once they bite it since so many people use that microwave..(rambling). Fred you should fly in so we can go to Waffle House!

I know when I started working in 1999 to 2006..I gained a WHOPPING 60 Pounds!!!! Since 2006..I've worked my way backwards and so far I've lost about 80 pounds and still going!!! Although I'm about burnt out! But all of my weight gain was due to these freaking Donuts, muffins, or big breakfasts..on the company..or Big boy Lunches...and the main killer was the fact I had a job that required a ton of overtime and when I got home at 8 or 9pm...I'd eat real big..then go straight to bed..LOL! Wasn't hooping anymore and just got to a point where a brotha got lazy! But I blame all of that weight on these sit down desk jobs! When a brotha was in school lifting pallets at Lowe's..I stayed in shape! Oh yea..marriage probably accounted for 30% of the weight!! LOL

Damn!!!! 80 pounds? You were on the grind. When I was in school and working I gained my weight like you. Class started at 6:30 and I wouldn't get out until 9:30. Then I would eat dinner because I didn't want to eat before class and get sleepy. I already had enough trouble staying up in class and food would have made it worse. I started working out again this year and I've knocked off about 22 pounds so far.

That's good yo! "Keep It Movin" (My personal motto ..fyi The Rocky Anthem was the personal theme song!! LOL)

And this Damn Nas is re-energizing me as well! That shish is sooo tight to me! Great running music!

That Nas is cool. I wondering how much he is going to do? I don't think he will do a mil though. I haven't heard anything on the radio. But that's not saying much for this area since they play the same 5 songs over and over.
