Boys!!!

[cloudy]

For those who don't know, I have two boys, one 15 and one just 4.

I decided, on a whim, to cook breakfast this morning. 2 lbs. of sausage and a double batch of pancakes - made about 24.

The pancakes are completely gone, and I had to slap a hand away from the last two pieces of sausage so that I could have at least a bite.

Where do they put it? Neither one of them, or my husband for that matter, could be described as overweight, and one of them is so thin I get accused of not feeding him.

Amazing how kids can put away that amount of food and not gain a pound. I wish I had that ability again.

I'm not surprised in the slightest. Remember my thread for the weekend my youngest came with 2 friends? The list of food they put away in 3 days. I'm still placating my bank manager, and paying off the shopping bill for that weekend.

I'm just thankful they aren't fussy eaters.

Heh, I have been known to put away a pound of bacon with hash browns and gravy all by my lonesome.

I am not overweight. But then I work hard and play hard and keep most of it off.

High cholesterol? You ain't a kiddin'.

I guess I'm still a boy.

I can eat just about anything, and as much as I damn well please. Never gain a pound.

 

[lewdandlicentious]

Do you know,

Highly metabolic people like you make people like me sick!!!

 

[rgraham666]

No, I didn't know that.

But now that I do, my sadistic nature will cause me to point it out to you at every oppurtunity.

 

[lewdandlicentious]

Bastard!!!

 

[Guest]

LOL!

I'm cursed with a low metabolic rate, too.

 

[Just-Legal]

I'm just fat!

I resemble one of those wobbly toys, that you can knock about and it always rocks back upright. Something to do with a very low centre of gravity......so I'm told. I think it could be something else.

Actually, you probably do.

I found out that I eat something like 5,000 calories per day. I thought it was less, but then someone told me the calorie figures for pizza were for a slice, not a whole pizza.

I workout each day. I start with a Stairmaster at high level for 15 minutes and then get into a resistance workout that lasts about an hour. Three or four nights a week, I also workout at a kung-fu place. Usually the workouts last about 1.5 hours.

If you are willing to work hard, you can eat what you want. (Well, maybe not an entire cow at one sitting.)

I eat large meals just to stay at 165. I caught a summer cold that lasted a couple of days and lost 10lbs. That is what you can call a real problem. I had to sleep on the sofa in the den, because I was sweating so much.

I am 39 years old, weigh 155 pounds, (a little over 11 Stone for you Brits,) and pay more for food in a month than I pay in rent. My boss claims I eat more in one day than the rest of the nurses on my floor eat in a week. I can curl more than my weight, and have been known to lift almost four hundred pounds. (I also have the all American Six Pack Abs, mostly beer. 34 inch waist.)

It's not that I work out, (I don't.) It's just that I'm never still and I'm cursed with the metabolism from hell. I ride more than ten miles a day, and I walk more than twenty miles a day in work. On my days off I tend to do things like canoeing or Kayaking, Scuba Diving, or just playing paintball. In other words I live a very active lifestyle. (It drives my poor wife nuts.) For me a relaxing weekend activity is something like a ten mile walk on the beahc. (All those pretty bodies to look at.)

Then again maybe that's why I don't gain weight.

Meanwhile, with all of you high metas out there burning like crazy, some of us do have to be more careful. Each 5 year plateau I hit (25, 30,35) seems to have slowed down my metabolism. At 25 I could eat a ton and stay at my playing weight of 185. At 30 I could still go "overboard" on occassion and weighed only slightly more than that most of the time, but I could not eat "anything in any quantity" and started to show a bit in the waist.

The years since have not been as kind. My legs still look like they did at 30 but age, a sit down job and the reduction in my "sporting life" that came with marriage and kids have made their impact on my waistline. I've actually lost weight in the last six months but overall I am still heavier than I have ever been.

My diet is steady and not too much of a factor if the lack of impact when I vary it is any indication. I guess I just have to increase the amount of exercise I'm getting.

Hmmm. Any volunteers to help ol' Bel get himself back in shape? I can think of some fun exercises...

 

[Xelebes]

I've thankfully slowed down over the years. I'm now to the point where I just eat 2 moderate meals a day. Mind you, I don't excercise much but am still very thin.

I have this urge to gather up all you people who can eat these ungodly amounts of food wihtout gaining weight and give you a group smacking.

Please. Yes.

 

[matriarch]

Please. Yes.

*groan*...........

It might make us podgies feel better, as well as the skinnies.

Sounds like a very satisfactory plan to me.

[laughingeyes]

hehe when given the opportunity I'm a food disposal too. And I'll eat pretty much anythign that is edible.

Although I don't eat as much now that I have to pay for my own food and cook it as well. But give me the chance and yeah. :-D

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

My son is 8 and can eat a small pizza hut pizza on his own.

He can also eat 6 slices of a med. pizza hut pizza some days.

*sigh*

Good lord, what an old thread!

The 15-year-old will be 18 in five days and the four-year-old will be seven this summer.

Bzuh? Ancient thread bumpage? I read the initial post and thought Cloudy had lost her mind and forgotten how old her kids are!

I'm quite capable of losing my mind, but I doubt the kids would ever let me forget they're not babies anymore.
