Stage 1 : Picking My Topic

My topic for the Cast Your Bucket Down Project is "Counting Calories". I chose this topic because it reeaally hit home for me. In a funny way, it reminded me of my mother and how for the last 2 years she's been saying she's going to lose weight (which she still hasn't done) and decided for a brief time she would count calories... It actually didnt help her at all, which surprised me, but i learned the less you eat doesn't necessarily mean gauranteed weight loss. I thought that was especially interesting. Then a month ago, my best friend was ALSO trying to lose weight and asked me, "What would happen if I only ate a 100 calories a day for a week?" I thought about it and realized Google was in suggestion. I looked it up and was utterly shocked when I read that within a few days, you would literaly Die. I researched into the topic a little more and realized anorexia also tied into the whole Counting Calories topic. (I guess it has something to do with over-analyzing what you should eat and how many calories you should have per day.) Well cant wait to inform you on more about my topic...! Next, Stage 2: In-Depth Research _ TtYl!!
