Whats the diet like, matey? Got any issues or obsessions with food? Do ya drink sugary soda? Time to find that calorie culprit and kick its arse. 
Dont deny yourself either, just change. If for example, you had a thing for apple pie, eat apples instead--and really fancy ones, become an apple freak, pontificate about the stirations of braeburns, bore us.
Ive lost about five pounds myself this spring, simply by doing an hour per day of cardio on the singlespeed, instead of 3X weekly.
lol... my closest friend had some rather disturbing assumptions about me, upsetting to be honest... and made me angry.
She believed I had a sweet tooth, that I didnt like salads, and that I refused to eat anything healthy. In her words it was "the only way you could get like that". She also assumed that I was incapable of coping with physical exercise... when we went on a bike ride together and I naturally kept behind her but running two a-breast where possible as thats the way I tend to walk... she kept making snide comments about how "we could rest if your tired"... made me so angry I ended up pulling out, and flew past her at around 30mph according to me speedo, and I couldnt even bloody change up gears as my gears are still naffed up so I just pedalled as fast as I could until the rachet took the power away. Sure... I took a while to recover but I didnt need to stop, and I kept up that performance for a good 5 minutes, took her about 3 minutes cycling along after me to get back into viewing distance.
When I showed her my chicken salad with boiled new potatoes (no not a metaphor for anything
) she was shocked that I knew how to cook in a healthy manner, and that I enjoyed eating like it.
Then a week or so later we went out and grabbed a bite to eat and I picked an egg salad, when she actually came out with "the big sarnies are over here" thinking that Id go for them ahead of a lush salad.
Then she looked surprised a few days later when I said to her "No thank you im full" when she cooked an indian curry for me. Tasted lush... but just couldnt eat it all.
Her next assumption was that I drank unhealthly, I then told her that I tended to only ever drink on a wednesday night, and then its rare that I get completely hammered, its a case of a beer or cider with a meal (my one treat a week normally), and that I guzzle water like nobodies business, only reason I dont buy it that much is because I aint paying £1.50 for a bottle of something that comes out of a tap at home for free.
We finally came to an agreement after all of that, I eat anything, I quite happily munch salad, I hate jelly and sinewed meat, though I am partial to a beefburger once in a while (my typical wednesday night food, beer and a burger), but most of all.... if something is infront of me, I will eat/drink it.
I have been known to drink 3 litres of water in under 10 minutes... why?... because I had 3 litre sized bottles of water on my desk in work, intending to drink them throughout the day...I dont... I tend to feel as if I have to have something in my hand, so I hold the bottle of water... naturally I raise it to my mouth, and I take a gulp every 20 seconds or so.
There are no weaknesses in general, and thats what pisses me off... I can change diets and so on, I can keep a diary, but at the end of the day I tend to eat 2 or 3 meals a day (dependent on if I get breakfast in), I drink about 1.5 litres a day, and thats it.
Friends in uni have admitted to having usually... 2 teas, and anything up to 7 meals a day. how much do they weigh?.... no idea, but they have damn thin bodies.
Ive come to the conclusion that its a lack of physical exercise that put me in this way, and now I currently try and do things to combat it, stuff I havent mentioned here... stuff like trying to take the stairs instead of the lift, walking from the train station furthest away (so 30mins brisk walk... instead of a 10min meander), walking from work to the next nearest train station (15mins brisk walk as opposed to a 3 minute meander).
I do this all, the only thing I havent done since its hit warmer weather is ride my bike again, and thats because I keep making damn excuses for sorting it out.
I also hate the warmer weather, as well you may consider this a bit vain, but Ive noticed that my stomach jiggles a bit, there was once a time that I could breathe in and pull my stomach muscles in and itd be fine, but now its a distinct jiggle... you may think "pah ffs... stop being a wuss" but when Ive experienced years and years and years of bullying that put me in about the worst place possible and turned me into a bloody wreck of a human being, my weight is a curse to me, and I try and hide my shape a little by wearing a jacket. I can pull it around me and yeah I may look bigger, but at least you dont see my manboobs jiggling away as im walking, open-mouthed and struggling for breath, because I cant breathe due to the paranoia that grips me when walking in public, having to feign yawns to cover the fact that due to me holding my breath I managed to exacerbate matters further and made myself breathless. Now the weather is warmer there will come a point where I will have to lose the security blanket of my jacket... When that point comes, I dont want to jiggle.
I quite honestly would welcome an eating disorder. If it involves me puking up then so be it... Id rather have a problem with gaining weight, than getting rid of it.
When I met those girls on wednesday, I started panicing instantly... why? Its because I was the fatman, self-esteem is bollocks, I can put of an air of confidence whenever I want I can flirt and I can bullsh*t like the best of them, but deep down im a paranoid freak obcessed about the fact that hes overweight and too f**king paranoid to join a Gym as the last time he did he had to bare with the laughs and jeers behind his back as he made a bit too much noise on the running machine, or sweated excessively when working out... apparantly sweating isnt something thats done in the gyms ive been to, last time I had no choice, and it was kids doing it to me. Kids that I later relished in beating the sh*t out of when I was in school when they kicked off then, so I got even in a way. Nowerdays... I dont think I could cope.
