Bad sleeping habits , weight gain , constipation Posted: 07-23-07 03:01am
hello, i need some help regarding a few
problems that i am facing, please help
soon, i am a 20 yr old female 51kg and
5feet 1inch
1- my first problem is that i sleep alot,
i have these weird bouts of sleepiness,
its not that i cant control my sleeping
habits but most of the time when i feel
sleepy (although i had a good nights
sleep) i just sort of give in and prefer
sleeping.
i sleep during lectures, i sleep while
commuting on bus or while in a car too(not
driving) ... i find it difficult to wake
up early (even if i have something
important to do) i feel tired and drowsy
even after i wake up and freshen up my
self.
2- during last year n a half, i have
gained considerable amount of weight, i
was 44kg and now i am 51. considering i am
not really a couch potato! .. i guess i
have gained weight after i started my
university as now i dont involve in much
sports, yet i do have to walk alot. but
before university when i was still in
college and even in my school i was very
actively involved in sports
also i find that most prominent weight
gain is around my tummy!
3- i am constipated quite alot of times
which is very uncomfortable.. i must
mention here that i dont consume a lot of
proteins, that is i dont strictly avoid
meat but would consider myself a
part-vegetarian.... i eat chicken, fish,
egg, minced meat and meat balls, but other
then this i dont each much of beaf/mutton
but i do eat pulses. also i dont really
feel very hungry most of the times even at
meal times, and i can easyily miss meals!
yet i take some junk food
please help me as i am sick of my sleeping
habits and really do want to lose weight
thanks

My advice would be to get more
cardiovascular exercise (walking at a fast
pace, running, jogging, swimming,
bicycling). Anything to get your heart
rate up. You wouldn't think so, but you
do actually have more energy if you
exercise on a regular basis. It can also
help with your constipation and, of
course, your weight. A multi-vitamin may
also be helpful. If your problems
continue, you may want to see your doctor
to rule out any medical issues. Good luck!
