NF: empty, spent, even though I haven't done anything even remotely useful today.
Also, perplexed by an article in a school paper published by a local school, which appeared in their latest edition. It was something of a tribute article to a girl who had lost about 27 kg in six months. They treated her like a role model, someone whose dieting tips one should definitely take after. And what were they? Skip breakfast and drink only water and coffee. Walk at least 6 km every day. Among other things...
And here was I thinking breakfast was the most important meal of the day and that it has been scientifically proved that skipping breakfast is more likely to increase your weight because it sets the body in starvation mode and thus 'produces' the fat in order to save you...
They also had before and after pics of her, and she has the skinniest stick legs but still a somewhat inflated stomach, like a beer belly. Like a friend said, "if she gave up the beer and the candy she wouldn't have that". Then again, she can do what she likes. I'm just puzzled as to why anyone would think this is a good example to set? Especially to fairly young students, aged 16-18, especially with so many people already having plenty of eating disorders...
