I'm not sure if there's a thread on this already... but I was thinking about this lately. My eating habits are quite horrible. I've never been one for cooking because I'm far too lazy, so I tend to stick to instant food or stuff that can be cooked quickly and easily. I eat at random, odd hours of the day and sometimes I don't eat enough because I'm just too lazy to cook myself something. While I was at college and living on campus, I was fine because all I had to do was just go to the dining hall. But since I lived on my own and now living back at home, I've been forced to become more independent and find my own food.

BF thinks my eating habits are horrible. I rarely eat breakfast, I try to eat throughout the day but sometimes I just don't, and I like to eat late at night for some reason. I try to at least eat healthy, or semi-healthy-- most of the food I eat is from Whole Foods or Trader Joe's (both natural foods markets). However, I really like frozen prepared foods, which probably aren't nearly as healthy as the fresh stuff.

I don't exercise. I was really active in high school but nowadays I don't even like walking around, heh. But I'm not overweight or anything because I got my dad's genes (yay) and have a fairly fast metabolism. The downside is that I've probably inherited high blood pressure and high cholesterol though, which is why it's not good for me to be eating badly even though I don't necessarily "see" the effects.


And for my body image... I think I have a skewed view of myself sometimes. I'm half/half-- sometimes I think I look great, perfectly fine, but other times I think I look hideous. I've struggled with self-esteem issues for a large part of my life, especially with weight issues. I went through puberty pretty early so I got freaked out by my (normal) weight gain and boobs. I went through a period in elementary and middle school where I hated food and hating eating. I would always throw out my lunches or give them away to friends. I got over it in high school and realized I was being crazy heh.

Since I left school and am not nearly as busy anymore, I think I've had more time to waste on useless thoughts. And I think my old feelings of insecurity are popping up again. My metabolism is not nearly as fast as it used to be, and my stomach is not as flat. I need to actually work out and put effort into things if I want to look my best. I started to become more interested in cosmetics and beauty products and fashion. But that's also made me more superficial and materialistic as well. The more I learn and see, the more I start to think that I'll never be like that or I'll never feel pretty again.


But yea. So that's where I'm at now. Not very healthy overall, but I want to work on these things. This turned out longer than I intended haha, but it was good to vent. What about you guys?

i think my eating habits are quite healthy & so is my body image XD
i just want to grow a couple of cm T-T
& then i'd be satisfied

mine is really bad
i don't eat breakfast cause i just don't like eating in the morning, feels gross
during the day i don't eat cause i have braces and i get really paranoid i'll get food stuck in it so i just buy lots of drinks
and then i go home and eat dinner, that's probably the only proper meal i eat.
i get full really easily so i don't eat that much for dinner, either.
hm.. i try and exercise for an hour everyday, but now that i'm at uni i'm walking around a lot more than i did in high school.
i guess it helps that my university is on a hill =_=

I actually experienced the same stuff as the poster. I developed way too early... gained weight and height and boobs and menses when I was only 9 going on 10 years old. So I have always been very self-conscious. I loved to eat everything so I was kinda chubby as a tween... then I picked up competitive sports in my teens and trained 5-7 days a week so I lost weight. Then I stopped training after I left high school... and continued eating so I gained weight again. Nowadays I'm losing weight again cos I will only eat natural foods like fruits, rice, tofu, veg, lean meat. The only artificial stuff I eat is wholemeal bread. I don't touch anything else... not even museli bars. They are processed and high in sugar even though they claim to be low-fat.

my eating habits have improved greatly since last year. i think i look just fine, but i know i could be better. like... ripped abs, bulging biceps and firm butt better! i'm getting there, and loving each time i go and thinking about that rockin' body i'll work up to. except for leg days... OMG THEY HURT SO BAD >.< hehehehe

i like exercise and good nutrition. i'm determined, and it raises my confidence each time i go and break my previous record. it also keeps me from being lazy. i like girls who stay fit, and aren't lazy. it helps that those girls are slim and look absolutely stunning.

eating habits could be much better...
but BLEH what can i say.

body image could be wayyy better too

so i don't think im healthy
i try to be though

my eating habits is bad =/

i don't eat breakfast, eat junkfood for lunch and pig out during dinner =/
and when i excercise, i rarely get enough energy because what i eat for lunch really slows me down.
aish. writing about this wants me to change my habits =/

mine are TERRIBLE.
:/
i'd rather not go into detail.

i think my eating habit is not great
-skip breakfast becoz i wake up at 7:15 and i have to get to school by 7:35 so i dont have time
-eat junk at lunch: cookies, chips, gatorade, pizza but lately ive been eating pasta salad
-at home i eat junk too and a lot of instant/frozen food because i get hungry and its not dinner yet
-dinner:rice w/ some type of meat/vegetables/eggs

At school there are lots of stairs and hallways and p.e. so i get some workout everyday
I would say my body image looks fine since i have fast metabolism(yay me) but pretty skinny so i need to gain like 5 pounds
