Going to be scarce this weekend; my sister is coming to visit tonight. Getting a heck of a workout cleaning house before her flight arrives tonight. We have plans to go to a really yummy restaurant I've never been to before. They're known for fries made in duck fat. Not diet food, but I'm not on a "diet".
If it looks and sounds good, I'll split a basket with the table and enjoy in moderation.
Down another 1.4 lbs, not quite to my normal weigh-day, but nice to see numerical reinforcement.
Jaycee: You raised a lot of very good "food for thought" questions. It shows that you're thinking about this carefully. I will admit to being obsessed with the scale, but I think I need to break that. If, as you ask... I eat this way for a year, and I lose some, but not as much as I want to... well, if I feel healthier every day, then I think I will be okay.
This is definitely the LONG road to the finish line, and a lot of the other diets on 3FC might get you father in a shorter amount of time, but I have started to think that restrictive diets are another form of disordered eating. If it's something that can't be maintained long term, then the chances of putting it all back on "and then some" is huge.
But this? I can honestly say "Yes", I can eat this way all my life. It takes just a minute, to stop and think before I put something in my mouth. Am I hungry? Am I hungry
for this? If I'm not hungry, why am I eating? What am I trying to soothe?
I am considering coupling this with counseling, because I suspect I'm going to uncover things about myself that I've buried with food for 30 years.
