MEL, NO! You are perfect the way you are. I just answered your last question and then read the other comments. BTW, that person that was telling Raquel to correct her spelling from loose to lose should look at her own stuff first. Gosh, these people annoy me. She said its lose not loose. Well, likewise, she should have said "it's" and not "its". So, there :)
Are you smiling yet? Cause by all means, I am not here to correct anyones spelling or whatever. I just wish people would concentrate at the question they are trying to answer and not on what somebody else has to say or write. In any case, 50 kilos is not enough for 170 cm. That would make you too thin! And believe me, that thin is not attractive, despite what some people say. The media has always concentrated on these super skinny models. Sorry, but there isn't much that is attractive about being so skinny. Just look at the collar bones of those runway "beauties". Yuk! I don't know if you watch the Tyra Banks show. I sometimes do and she's absolutely great about that kind of stuff. And she was one of the highest paid runway models! Mel, 2-3 small meals with nothing in between will send your system the wrong signals. Instead of burning the fat calories from your intake, it will go into "storage" in your system and start storing it there, where it then turns into access fat and you'll achieve the absolute opposite of what it is, what you are trying to do. Water is the key here, but not too much either. Believe it or not, you can actually drink too much water too. How crazy is that? Either way, as I tried to explain to you before, eat several small meals a day. Stop when your stomach feels full, never do like we all rearned when we were little "clean your plate and the sun will shine tomorrow" :) Gosh, I can't count the times I used to hear that from my parents and guess what, when I became a Mom myself, I turned into my parents! HELP! :) You'll see for yourself, so I won't really go into that now. I know you are at least grinning by now if not laughing aloud. But the problem now is to get you off that "I need to lose weight" trip you are on. You don't! In any case, if you absolutely have to, just cut down your portions, exercise, drink water whenever you feel hungry and other than that, there isn't much more you can do. DO NOT start taking diet supplements. When you feel hungry, drink some water or eat some fat free yoghourt or an apple. Mel, stop worrying so much. I think you are just in "overdrive" due to your upcoming trip and all the other stuff that's been going on in your life lately. Well, what more can I say? You know where and how to find me if you need to talk. Stay sweet, be strong and stop worrying so much... Hugs, MsB.

the problem with eating more once you lose the weight is that your body is now trained to hoard all of the calories it takes in because it doesn't expect a refill for several hours. In other words, you'll blow up bigger than before. I suggest eating 4-5 rather small portions throughout the day so that your body will burn more calories because now the calories you take in are more dispensible because it knows you will be replenishing them sooner. If you find yourself feeling hungry between your little meals try drinking a large glass of water.

I as soon as went to dinner with a man pal and did not inform my husband approximately it. It was once thoroughly platonic, I've certainly not had emotions for this man, he's only a exceptional pal and exciting to speak to. My ex-husband had foremost believe problems so telling him might make him whine and pout like a youngster. Moral of my tale is: oftentimes men and women are overly paranoid. It sounds such as you each have foremost believe matters. I endorse that the 2 of you sit down down and talk about what is REALLY bothering you. What are your fears? Get them out within the open to preclude splitting up.

Maybe eating three meals a day and then possibly some healthy snacks in between, such as a light yogurt or something like that.
