Stimming may help you lose weight!! ! or at least keep it off

So it seems certain stims, such as pacing, fidgeting, etc, can help burn calories. Interesting.

Yes indeed. Rocking builds a good back and abs, pacing of course builds the leg muscles, and jumping (if one jumps) builds the, uh, jumping muscles.

Hopping, flapping hands and rocking are good too, I'm sure. The more vigorous, the better! Nothing beats spending a couple of hours in "one's own world" while stimming full blast. Good for the body, good for the soul. And combined with a tendency of not finding time to eat - that's what keeps my weight in check.

I stim quite a bit, the only problem is I'm quite underweight and I can't put it on because I don't eat enough to mantain all my flapping and pacing. Sometimes I've stimmed until I'm out of breath and only realise that I've been doing it when I'm gasping for air.

I wonder how I can turn spinning a ruler around with a golf tee into an exercise video.

Asperobics anyone?
