To anyone who has always been thin...

Does keeping your figure in check seem like a full time job? Constantly making sure you don't go over a certain number of calories, getting in walks daily etc...I lost twenty pounds for my health last year but have gained six back over the winter. I'm back into walking several days a week but it's always difficult too not going over say, 1700 calories a day. I'm really determined to lose those few pounds again, plus ten more. But it's NOT easy. Any tips?

You're going to hate me.

I don't do a thing, but live a highly physically demanding for my entire life.

When I'm walking. I walk like I have a sense of urgency. I'm always in hurry when I'm walking, even when I'm not.

I take the stairs over the elevator. Every time

I've always worked in physically demanding jobs. Construction trades, Farming, Ranching, and so. Jobs that force me to use my body to the limits and make me physically exhausted after 10/12 hours a day sometimes more.

Even when I'm in pain or sick. I still work. No one else going take care of the livestock. If I don't feed, give them bedding, milk them, collect eggs and so on. They will die. They need me to live

I get no days off. The only time I get days off, if family takea over or I pay someone

I eat very little store bought food. We eat, what we raise for meat or grow in the garden or we hunt or trap for food. We try our best to live as close we can to the life of the days of the pioneer. Its not 100%. Some of that life, the government deems illegal to live.

That's our way of life.
