Answer 1

239 british pounds? congrats merry christmas

Answer 2

ONE COOKIE AT A TIME. Those varmints are pretty sneaky.
That skinny person inside of you screaming to get out...shut her up with a cookie.

You got it over time and you can lose it over time.

· It is important to maintain a good diet so you don't compromise your health. Damage done because of lack of nutrition is not worth a nice body. Some diet damage cannot be fixed.
·
· When you deprive your brain,(your brain craves sugar) the brain will take other body cells to convert to the elements that it needs. And the cells it takes are BRAIN cells. OOPS. I don't want to lose brain cells to have thin legs. But I would like to have both.

DECIDE TO MAKE A LIFE CHANGE TO A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.

1) fruits and veggies, all you want, organic, raw, vine-ripe if possible. Steamed is OK, sautéed is OK even canned or frozen is OK, but lots of them.
2) limited or no meat.
3) nothing fried
4) no FAST FOOD- is junk, no nutrition, empty calories
5) NO PROCESSED FOOD. if you can't pronounce it don't eat it.
6) nothing white, salt, sugar, mayo, milk, (or at least in moderation.
7) NO DAIRY-dairy is great for baby cows, your body does not even digest it properly. check out www.notmilk.com
8) EXERCISE- and be sure to refresh your body with water and fresh fruit
9) NO PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS. Muscle is made from water, replace the water. You get enough protein from the food you eat, You get more protein from spinach than the supplements you take and your body does not get toxic on food protein the way it will with supplements. Supplements can really tax you liver.
10) Good supplement would be Omega 3, and Juice Plus+

11) NO CARBONATED DRINKS, or at least limited. They actually dissolve the calcium in your bones.
12) Calories in calories out.

AND DON'T GO NUTS, MODERATION.

Answer 3

I suspect you had your mind focused on other things, and Possibly some of the blame can be put on Meds that slow down your metabolism... Now..you do need to watch what you eat. and cut down drastically on the amounts you consume... Yup! For the rest of your life... Um! are you depressed yet ??... Life has a way of slapping us around... Now that you recognize that a problem is ( Very much in evidence... You can systematically devise a way of fixing it. Hugs...

Answer 4

Hon, don't kid yourself. That's an average of 10 pounds per month. How many pant sizes did you increase? There's no sneaking about it. Not only did you eat too much, you kept eating more and more and more.

Answer 5

Depression, feeling lonely. Start walking around the block a few times a week and just be aware of what you are eating now. Don't feel bad, we all wake up one day and say, how did I end up this way? Emotionally or physically. Just take it one step at a time.

Answer 6

You JUST realize it? Wow!

Honey, 239 pounds just doesn't sneak up - see your doctor and try getting up from the table sooner!

Answer 7

The answer lies in your profile name. You're on Prozac? A side effect of Prozac is weight gain. Ask your doctor to switch you to Zoloft or some other SSRI.

Answer 8

You may have a medical condition or a genetic predisposition to gain weight. I'd recommend consulting a doctor.

Answer 9

More likely its you sneaking to McGreedys twice a day in a two year period, then asking "How did THAT get there"?

Answer 10

From eating. That is very dangerous thing to do. Basically you probably have a negative balance. You should exercise and eat healthier more than sitting around or eating junk food.
