You know how I know?
Because I'm eating everything in sight, all the time.
My food bill has more than doubled, and I finished 3 people's meals at the post-run breakfast this morning.
And yes, I'm going to get fat.
Because somehow, all the training makes me STARVING, but doesn't contribute to weight loss. I know, because scales at every single gym I frequent (4!) all vouch for my lack of weight loss, and indeed, to my weight gain.
16+ hours of working out a week and I'm gaining weight. Awesome. I would ask someone to please explain to me how that's possible... but I'm a relatively smart girl and I understand the simple calories in/calories out equation. Somehow, the 'calories in' just seem to win out day after day...
I just really like food; I have a hard time depriving myself, especially when I'm constantly hungry. And to top it all off, it's really difficult to eat healthily all the time; when you're eatingeatingeating, after a while it's annoying to try to find vegetables or fruit or lean chicken...all you want is a pop-tart...or a cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and a beer.
