Calorie Counting and Intuitive Eating Saturday, May 19 2007

At the moment I am using the Calorieking software to work out what I am going to eat plus trying to get a new attitude to food using intuitive eating concepts. This is where you listen to your body and only eat when you are hungry then just eat enough to be satisified but not full. I have a book called intuitive eating on reserve from the library. I should be able to get that next week… in the meantime I have a book called Diet No More that I got from a huge secondhand book sale. I really related to it, it described some of my thought patterns that I go through. No food is good or bad, just eat what will satisfy. It also says to throw away the scale but I can’t bring myself to do that. I still get weighed every day.

 I have given up Curves. I wasn’t enjoying it. Instead I am trying to walk to town a lot more…

I haven’t lost any Monday, Mar 26 2007

I went to a buffet restaurant last Wednesday and ate too much. Then I went to a BBQ on Saturday night and didn’t do too badly, I had meat and salad and a little dessert. There was a nice chinese cabbage salad in it with dried noodles in it. I think that would have been a bit fattening and I might have had a bit too much of it. But I didn’t eat my son’s leftover t-bone steak.

 On Sunday there was a lunch at church and I ate too much, I mean I really overate. Which means my weight is up from last Wednesday’s weight of 111.8. I am just trying to get down to that weight so I stay the same!

So thats how things are: Its been a food oriented week…

Not sure if I’m losing weight Saturday, Mar 17 2007

It’s that time of the month and I’m not sure what effect that is having on my weight loss. We went shopping today and I have a few chocolate eclair lollies that I shouldn’t have had. But my calories and fat are still within the limits…

Weight stable Saturday, Mar 10 2007

My weight is stable for now. Hopefully I will have a loss next Wednesday.

I am having chicken strogonoff for dinner tonight.

 My son is at a sleepover so it should be a bit easier tonight not eating his leftovers!

My Scale Obsession will never fade! Sunday, Mar 4 2007

Well, I put the scales away for about 36 hours. I was 249 pounds before I put them away and when I got on this morning I was 251.2 pounds. I hate to think how much I would have weighed if I hadn’t got on until Wednesday. No, the only way I can keep my weight under control is to know what I weigh!

I’m confused Saturday, Mar 3 2007

I’m confused. The Calorieking software says I should eat so many calories a day but when I do I don’t lose weight but if I eat too few calories I don’t lose weight either. I am going to have to experiment with my intake! Its not like I eat a lot either.

 I threw out the icing sugar as it was too tempting. The only tempting things in the house now are my son’s chips and shapes that he has for school but they have been put away and I don’t think about them because I know they are off limits. I was having the icing sugar every day. I would get a tablespoon or 2 and some margarine and some cocoa and have chocolate icing.

I am supposed to be in a race to lose weight this week with another member of my siet club but I am going to lose I think. I lost 50 kilos in 1992 and I am trying for the life of me to think how I did it?? I don’t think I ate a healthy diet to do it. So I guess that option is out! I think I will work on my menu for tomorrow tonight…Better get to it!

I have put the scales away Friday, Mar 2 2007

and I feel relieved! They won’t come out until next Wednesday. I was putting myself under so much pressure and feeling so disappointed with my weight when I don’t lose or lose one day and put it on the next.

Anyway here is a picture of the brickwork being done, the next step after the foundations were poured.
