I might just weigh 500 pounds. I don’t know about the rest of you but for some reason I always feel like I need to be shoving some sort of food in my mouth while studying. I need to figure something else out and fast!!

Sunflower seeds keep me awake when I study. I end up with sore cheeks from all the salt ha

I've managed to fit working out into my schedule and have pretty much maintained my weight over the last 4 months….BUT, that still doesnt keep me from eating bad. Sometimes I don't have any food in the house so I'll just order a pizza instead of buying food. I really don't want to lose study time to go out and get food. I know it's bad, but sometimes I don't have a choice. I do good with my eating habits during the week, but it's the weekends that kill me.

I can completely relate to everything said here. I've gained just shy of 20 lbs over the past 6 months because I've been neglecting my exercise routine and good eating habits in favor of comfort food. Now that I've taken REG, I plan to dust off my Zumba and P90X DVDs in hopes of getting my body back. I'm desperately hoping I pass REG so I can focus on my body and mind again.

I put on some weight too. I usually don't gain weight very easily so the fact that I did means a normal person would have put on a lot of weight. I at so many burritos and so much burger king and drank so much mountain dew I'm surprised I didn't have a heart attack.

Kasias,

I am sure bodys will recover, but the same can not be said about our minds. Lol

Studying for CPA will do some permanent damage! 🙂

I think the trick is fitting exercise in with studying. For AUD i was able to do this and it seemed to help a lot. I would study for a few hours and then work out for about 30 -45 min and then repeat. with FAR did not do well and have gained weight so depressing add that to the fact that i dont think i did well on FAR.. all very stressful and i think the stress alone has helped me gain weight. i miss the days where i could work out for hours instead of being trapped at the table studying.. GRRRRR cant wait til its over!

I gained a ton of weight while studying for the exam… I started exercising towards the end of my CPA study journey and I wish I'd started sooner. But I've lost 13 pounds now since I found out that I passed. Woot! Ready to bust out my skinny jeans soon. Just remember to make exercising a priority. I started exercising when studying for REG (during my last attempt) and ended up scoring my highest score ever… maybe not coincidence!

I just went to try some dresses for X-mas Dinner and OMG, I was just thinking about this post. I have gained 10 pounds and those make a hhhuuuuugeeee difference. I am not skinny, but used to looked healthy, now a different story…. I sent a text to my husband asking for my X-mas presents; a full kit of Zumba dvds and a lipo lol

Hopefully, I will have plenty of time to exercise the last semester of 2012 😉

Done 😉
Class of 2012!!!!
Lots of prayers and hard work....
