Need an Alternative/Food

McManus Posts: 9 Joined: 2004/02/24	2004/02/24, 02:43 PM I am just a young Weightlifter from Vancouver B.C, and brand new to the boards but I had a quick question about my eating habits. - I wasn't sure if this is where I should be placing it but I need to put it everywhere because I am concerned as this weekend I am competing in the BC Winter Games. - As of late I have been trying to make a lighter weight/kilo class (58 Kilo Class – from 63 Kilo Class) and I hadn't had much time to do it. The best way I thought to do it was to minimize my portions. – I already had been eating well and never had a problem with losing weight but I have problems keeping it off because it is fast to come back when not active for a few days. I lost the weight that I needed to and have fit into the 58 Kilo class for now. However I now find that I have a lack of interest in eating and have become a slight bit obsessed with my weight. I have been doing a lot of cycling and stair climbing and have worked off I would say twice as much as I am eating. I no longer eat breakfast or lunch really, and minimal dinner. I am wondering how this is even working. This has never been a problem for me… So I guess my question would be what is a better way to keep off the weight than not eating? – Is there something effective that I could do, (i.e. cycling) on top of lifting that would keep the weight off?

I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
