The lightbulb above my head...
Monday, November 1st 2010
Did you see that light bulb go off above my head?You know the one that goes off when you either have an awesome idea or when you come to a realization of some grand proportion? Im not one for awesome ideas so Im going to chalk this particular light bulb episode to another epiphany of sorts. This one came when I was staring at the bowl of Halloween candy getting emptier and emptier and not one trick or treater had yet to knock on my door.
It went down something like this:

Rebellious eating...

I have it.Im wondering if this is a normal phase of the weight loss journey. Do you get close to goal weight and then begin to eat such random things (or back to eating in old behavior mode) that youre not sure who is controlling your mind at some points? I feel like this is where I am right now. I spent the last 10 months regimented in my food and it did what it was supposed to do. I counted every calorie.

Yesterday I got to hang out with Val over at SeattleRunnerGirl.com and through the course of our talking she gave me some really good advice:Follow the advice you give to others.
I know I know, seems simple enough but truth be told we rarely follow our own advice that we give to others no matter how simple it sounds or how easy we know it is to follow. We spout words of wisdom and walk away feeling like we have all the answers that anyone could use and yet we never apply them to our o...

I dont have much control when out of my comfort zone.People often tell me how impressed they are with my weight loss and how motivated they are by my ability to stick with the journey. Some days I have no idea who they are talking about. The person who gets up at 330a, packs her food and makes deliberate choices when in her comfort zone is no where near the person that occupied her mind/body when out of those comfort zones.
Last Wednesday I went to Houston for something job related ...
