The Intuituve Eater

Posted on 3fc: Had a binge this weekend blah :?:  It wasn't emotional or anything.  I bought the low carb peanut butter cups and I ate the whole box (12).  I was mildly hungry, but I have been on this sugar thing lately.  Anyway, they can't come back in the house.  When it cools off I'll keep in the car.  I worked out a lil harder this morning.  Also seems since I've been working out I need to relearn hunger and not overeat. I like to work out on an empty stomach and by the time I'm done I feel like I wanna gnaw off my own leg.  I worked out, had a glass of almond milk to take the edge off while I made breakfast.  That was about 8:30. By the time I was almost to work at noon I was looking for something else.  So I picked up a danish...blah.  I packed my lunch today and dinner should be fine, but maybe I need a bigger breakfast.  I'm thinking of trying toast with breakfast on wednesday and see if that helps. To stop my addiction to the scale I'm not get

So yesterday I had lunch with my best friend.  She's smaller than me, but still heavy.  We went out to an Indian Buffet and I should have just ordered something from the menu, but I didn't want to spend to much since we were splitting the bill and had the buffet BAD MOVE.  It was all creamy sauce stuff which really begs to be poured over rice.  I was trying to pour it over the cauliflower dish, but that had potatoes in it.  I ended up just saying eff it and eating the cauliflower with a little potatoe.  Then my flawles logic *heavy sarcasm* said well if I'mma cheat go ahead and have the rice too.  I then had like 4 glasses of water.  I don't feel like I ate alot, the problem is I ate because of self peer pressure. I think of course wanted to punish myself and was going to make myself to a really hard workout today, but thought.  Ok I don't really want to do it...and I don't want to NOT workout because I don't want to do the work out.  I also realized I usu

So I haven't really posted in a while, I find I stop when I'm  not doing so well and keep going when I'm doing great.  Well I'm in a good place.  For the first time I've managed to lose weight during the summer.  I haven't pushed myself to work out, but I have been watching what I've been eating.  I am using intuitive eating /exercise.  I haven't worked out in a while because its been too hot, but with eating better I've managed to lose.  Finally my body was like we miss working out and I had to workup ALOT of stairs since an escalator on the way to work was broken.  So, today I did 15 min of cardio with weights.  I was sweating like a slave in the fields.  I'm a lil grumpy that in about a month I lost so much ...endurance..but its a process and I'll be back at it. I'm currently PMSing which means my period is coming.  The cravings are over (blah at falling off for donuts), but i have about 7 days where I really won't be losing any

Well my modified version of the 28 day diet seems to have helped me break through into the 330s.  i'm 335 this morning.  My modification is basically atkins induction and I allow some sweets every now and again. I am trying to stick to working out 3 days a week, but it hasn't been happened.  I usually fall off one day a week.  The upside is my workouts are harder so am going more when I do work out. My 28 days ends Aug 6th, so my very hesitant goal is to get into the 320s by then...take a break for a week and the back for another 28 days.  My summer goal was 330.  I'm going to change that to 320 by the monday after memorial day. Something else while I am low carbing it.  I am using Ie for the stuff I technically cant eat on the phase and it has been working.  I'm not down as much as everyone else (they're average is about 10 lbs in a week, i'm at 5), but I'm happier and it seems like something I can maintain. I also went back to the IE group on 3fatc

Wow so I haven't posted since january....alot has happened. Short story I ended up making friends with someone on facebook who had a weight loss group and I think this was the last piece I needed to get things in gear. Im currently doing a mix of intuitive eating and low carb (no pasta, potatoes or rice).  I'm down to 340...should be in the 330s next week. I think the last time i was in this place I wasn't as flexible, but I'm honestly trying to do this for life so..its working.  I'm going to try out a modified version of the 28 day diet.  I kinda wanna focus a but more on what i'm eating and take out some of the choices.  I'm going try it for 10-14 days and see where i am. Its summer so Im not working out, but my eating is on point so YAY me.

So I just looked at my bloog and realized I've been doing this for 5 years.  Hopefully this is the year I hit 299.  I didn't want to post till i was sure I was firmly back on the wagon.  I am not nearly as focused as I was my real first time around, but I am doing it and it seems to be working. So I am doin to 351.  I avoid potatoes, rice and pasta.  I had an issue where my stoool was WAYYYYYY to hard so I have an apple every other day to work that out.  I doing mostly IE...which makes me happy.  working out and just being ok.
