I am working in a call center industry and as the days passed, I am getting bigger. Maybe bec. in our workplace, it's not that stressful and you can eat all you want. What will i do to make my body back to its shape again besides going to the gym? I really don't like gym coz they said that when you stop, you will get more fat. Are there certain diets you have to follow? What kind of exercises do i need to do in order for my tummy to be smaller? Is it true that playing badminton can slim you down?Thank you for the response. It is is greatly appreciated...

i've heard that softdrinks and coffee is freeflowing in call centers. maybe, that's your first stop. coffee and softdrinks, specially the latter sits heavy on the tummy. so if you lead a sedentary lifestyle and you keep on drinking these beverages, expect your tummy to bulge. i'm a member of a gym here and yes, it's true that when you stop, you grow even bigger coz it happened to me. that's why, i vowed never to stop anymore. it's more beneficial anyway to my heart. and tummy crunches is the best exercise for the stomach. maybe, you can jog in place, too when there's a lull in your work.

Thanks for the info!! Yup, I really love to drink softdrinks every breaks and after which I sit down and face the computer again. Nyah!! That is why I'm afraid to start going to the gym coz maybe i can't do it very often. Are there any alternatives? Is it true that badminton can slim you down? :)

i heard about that, too. the exercise that goes with playing badminton helps keep the weight down, too. and so does belly dancing, if you love to dance and yoga. try all of these, if you like, to see what will really work with you.

I used to have the same problem. It's too easy to overeat when you're bored. Try cutting up some fruits at home and bringing them to work with you! Not only do they taste good but they're good for you too!!!
