Fake weigh in...just want to clear that stupid, stupid WEIGH IN NOW notification! Jeez, can someone at FS fix this. My settings are set for it to never remind me to weigh in, but it reminds me every 7 freakin' days. Rant over.

I will weight myself eventually, but like others right now I don't want to know. My clothes and just doing a visual inspection both tell me I'm doing pretty good. I probably have lost a bit of weight, but regardless, I don't want to know...just yet. No need to deal with the head trip a scale can potentially put me on.

My EWYL (Eat What You Love)/Am I hungry approach to food is going well. It has brought to the forefront that I was a comfort/boredom/secret over-eater for as far back as I can remember. This explains most of my life being chubby. It's ridiculous how selective our memories can be, but looking back I see I overate emotionally a lot. So, learning to listen to what my body actually needs has been eye-opening and liberating. I don't get bloated anymore (how shocking how that happens when you don't overfill your stomach lol)! I always thought it was the type of food causing the bloat and sometimes it was, but now I see 90% of the time I was just eating too much.

Anyhow, the truth has set me free and these new eating skills are definitely for life!

Have a happy day everyone!

The scale did go down, but more importantly it was an afterthought in my day. Normally, a loss would make me all sorts of happy and thoughts of hmmmm...can I eat a bit more today - thoughts that come from someone who has been deprived.

Bella (FS buddy), referred an article to me last week and I looked further into the author and discovered her "Am I Hungry" site and book entitled "Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat". In short it was nothing less than absolutely remarkable and what an eye-opener for me!

I wasn't able to find the book in a bookstore, so I had to order it online. I won't get it for another week, but her site has lots of information.

I feel like I've been waiting for this kind of light bulb moment for awhile and more importantly I was ready to hear it. I don't want to diet anymore and I don't want to white-knuckle my way around food for the rest of my life; which is what I expected to do till I died. All of the diets I have been on over the years and the discipline I have exerted was not for nothing. It has most importantly taught me about nutrition and brought me to right now. However, there is a better way and I never guessed it was as simple as asking one question: "Am I hungry?" I'm going to privately journal this new way of approaching food, but I know for certain I won't go on anymore restrictive diets. I'm done with that and I'm going to learn to trust what my body wants and meet my other needs with something other than food. Therefore, I won't be weighing in anymore here (I will still weight myself occasionally, but my clothes will be my main monitor),and I will probably stop tracking food in a couple of weeks. But, I want to continue to use this FS feature to see how much I eat, now that I'm eating instinctively as opposed to eating by my diet rules.
