After a year of tracking calories and exercise here on FS, I’ve decided it’s time to conduct a little n=1 experiment. I’ve had great success with the calorie reduction model but I don’t think it’s sustainable in the long run. Plus as BH and I are getting more serious about expanding our little family, I hate to say it but I don’t want to be like my mother. I love my mother but I have such strong memories of her constantly dieting throughout my childhood. And I know this had a tremendous effect on me – I started my first diet at age 6. I don’t want my future child to go through that. So today on my one year FS anniversary, I am starting my un-diet. Based on the principles of intuitive eating, I’m going to eat when I’m hungry and whatever it is I’m craving. I will stop eating at the first signs of fullness and attempt to be fully present during mealtimes (no distractions like TV or phone). I have to admit that the freedom is scaring me more than anything. Breakfast was easy since I eat practically the same thing every day but now that’s it is lunchtime; I have no idea what I want to eat. It’s a truly bizarre feeling.
So I guess for now, this is my farewell. Thank you to everyone for your support and understanding over the past year. I may be back at some point but I’m just not sure right now.

Things haven't calmed down so we head down to my parents' house tomorrow to help out while my mom is still in the hospital. It has me in such a strange mindset. I want to help out but in the same breath I'm exhausted from all of my recent travel (we just returned home from their place less than 2 weeks ago). I just want to stay home and sleep. Plus we had already bought our Christmas tree and a fresh wreath. Luckily, we managed to find a friend who had yet to buy her tree so she and her daughter were the recipients of all of our Christmas supplies. It's sad to see the empty corner where the tree had been standing (albeit for just a few days). Normally I love this time of year but honestly, I just want the holiday to be over already.
