What is Your Metabolism Like?

[cheeseface]

With all the talk lately about Easter feasts, chocolate polls and workout support threads, I'm wondering how everyone would rate their metabolism. For me it seems like I could eat anything and not have any adverse effects. Other the other hand, I don't eat three meals a day. On the other other hand, (that's three hands now. Are you counting?) I remember eating 3 solid meals a day when I worked on the road, but that barely had any effect either. Maybe it was because I was working outside so much. So, what is your metabolism like to you? (The poll selections will magically appear at the top of this thread in a minute or two.

)

I can eat anything in any amount and I won't gain a pound... I'm actually struggling to stay above 150 right now *sigh*

Like many, if I eat too much for over a long period of time, I will gain weight (go figure?!?). But I try to balance it out with getting in some exercise every day, which probably burns up some of what I mow down.

Though with all this tempting Easter chocolate still kicking around the stores, I don't know...

I can eat in moderation

If I look at food I gain weight. I think part of the problem is that I can't exercise as much as I should. Some days I'm lucky to be able to get out of bed since I hurt my back 4 years ago.

I have to be careful that i don't over do it (Like the last 4 days!

) because i can gain very easily.

I'll never forget a girl i worked with who was so thin and no matter how much junk she ate she never got any bigger, but when she hit her 30's i saw her in town and boy had she piled the lb's on!!!

Yeah I wonder when my day will come.

I have a high metabolism and have to be sure to eat enough so that I don't lose weight.

I voted "if I even look at food I gain weight" and that is true for the times when I'm not doing enough walking - which is RIGHT NOW

. I'm so looking forward to the good weather so that we can walk to the pub in the next village (about 7 mile round trip).

But when I'm doing a reasonable amount of walking, I can eat in moderation and be ok.

Hey if walking works for you than you must be doing okay. Walk like this...
