Hey Joy, I wanted to thank you for your post on some other thread about fixing your mind. I think I need to work on my tendency to eat too many servings of desserts and seeing that you were able to modify your eating behavior, I feel like maybe I can actually do it. Especially because I didn't used to have this problem until meeting DH, who is a member of the clean plate club.

Hey Joy, I wanted to thank you for your post on some other thread about fixing your mind.

Ooops..sorry I missed this, I'm waaaay late to the party! You are so welcome. It actually was due to necessity. I have a 12 yr old who loves all my favorite junk foods. I still have to be a mom and teach her how to bake cookies and brownies...and have pizza night on Fridays, etc. yunno...the fun mommy/daughter stuff! That is why I decided to approach this control of food issue HEAD ON! Kinda like a fear of heights. It really works. When you are fearful of something or think you "CAN'T" do something...I think it's a great idea to bury yourself in it..surround yourself with your worst enemy until to gain control. Accept no defeat...as in the famous words of Charlie Sheen..."defeat is NOT an option"!
I'm rootin' for ya'll here. I just don't post my food anymore, cuz hamburgers and dogs, icecream, and pie is not exactly encouraging to others. I've won the battle...I've earned the right to eat anything I want as I've conquered the ALL or NOTHING attitude and learned how to exercise moderation. I'm so in tuned with my body that one day of eating a dozen cookies will not destroy me.
Posting my food intake was a great idea for the past 9-10 months, but now it would serve nothing more than to make me think waaaay too much about food...and to be honest...I got it. After 9 months...I know what I gotta do and can feel when I've gone too far and it's time to scale back a bit on the pies, cookies and icecream!
That said...I will be forever weighing in weekly, so that I can keep check that my weight doesn't get out of control and if I need to make any further calorie adjustments or have difficulties maintaining in the future, you can all rest assured that I WILL be back logging every morsel. But until such time (prolly when menopause hits me in a few years), I want to enjoy my new found FREEDOM.
All the best ladies! I'll still be cheering you all on though!
Thursday:
B - raisin bran, blueberries, skim milk
L - leftover pasta veg stuff; then from the free food pile in the breakroom, some caesar salad and a mini cinnamon roll thing
S - plum, greek yogurt, three hershey's nuggets
D - breakfast for dinner -2 turkey sausage links, 2 eggs + 2 egg whites, zucchini, bisquick biscuits (2.5)
E - 38 min 8.8 mile bike ride

Yesterday was terrible, too. There was ice cream involved at the end of the day when I arrived home to a working AC but no internet service. Had to buy a new router, so got ice cream at the same time. I'm not logging it because I'm embarrassed.
Good luck joyful! I wish I could say that I'm in control now, but sadly I'm not. I remember living the 'I'm in control and cookies don't hurt me' life over the last couple of years and I want it back. Hopefully I'll be there with you again in the before too long.
No Excuses! Food logging for July
