Why do I eat?

Thursday, February 9th 2012

SO made it through a day and stuck to my plan pretty well. Hurray.

I think boredom or being stuck is the main reason I eat.

My goal is to be more aware of what I eat and why.

eating, eating, eating

Wednesday, February 8th 2012

Well here I am. I weigh 153#. It's not horrible. I fit most of my skinny clothing. I exercise. But slowly and subtly, my eating habits are eroding. I've tried the food diary and I've not been able to sustain it.

Inch by inch. I'm losing it.

So here's the deal. I'm going to try to do my food diary.

And I'm going to try to ask myself: Why do you want to eat? I know the answers. All too often it's boredom. It's not hunger.

Moving forward on Maintenance

Saturday, November 14th 2009

Well, I am still maintaining with the supports of logging, weighing twice a week and posting in the forums. I know the "next step" is to try it without logging, while maintaining all other supports along with the Goals & Accountability thread. I added one hundred more calories to my goal because my weight is still falling. But I think my ultra-dedication to exercise is moderating and things should fall into some sort of steady state pretty soon. With the challenge ahead of the ...
