Exercise

[rowyn]

On the one hand, this would explain why taking up regular exercise has only kept me around the same weight for the last three or four years. Since apparently I'm supposed to exercise an hour a day just to avoid gaining more weight. Even on a good week I'm not doing that much. (Although it depends in part on what exactly qualifies as "moderate" vs "high" intensity.) So actually, I am fortunate in not having gained weight since 2009. Yay?

On the other hand: ARGH. Stupid fleshy body, so demanding. x.x

(On a tangential note: even after taking exercise off my resolution list, I'm still exercising 4-5 times a week. So I haven't thrown up my hands and given up. YET.)

I've seen that too -- if you take some indulgence and give it up, you get a temporary weight loss but it comes right back even if you still keep not indulging. Your body adjusts, and now you're torturing yourself just to stay where you used to be without having to torture yourself.

If only it worked the other way around! >:)
