What am I doing for me/Scale is a Dangerous thing

This was a post on 3FC in the intuitive eating thread, but it applies

Life is going ok. I joined a thread called what I did for me. Which has helped me focus on the little choices I make through out the day. For instance I have been in training all week so I've had to get up earlier than usual and I buy an ice coffee from Star Bucks and eat some fruit. No problem. Except I have been watching the food display case like a kid eyeing Christmas presents. I am not hungry, it is just I am in starbucks so that is what I used to do without thinking about. So for me I left the display case alone, stuck to my pears and coffee and was happier for it.

Also I think the scale did something to me. I keep having this intense desire to get on it to see if I lost anything else, but I also have no desire to go through the disappointment so leaving it alone. I keep thinking I am only 5 lbs away from my first mini goal......the scale is a dangerous dangerous thing.

Something else I couldn't stop being hungry yesterday. I think i was eating too little since i was going to the movie and then didn't eat enough there and ended up eating again when I got home.

Well this week end been a little wacky. I didn't eat anything I planned to eat. I didn't over eat and I think I made good choices all week. I only exercised once this week which I'm not entirely happy with, but I'm ok with that too. Back at it tomorrow (Saturday). So anyway. I know I haven't had the big 3-4 weight loss I had been having so I jumped on the scale. I'm down a pound( to 333) . Its nice because I haven't gained, but I would like to be firmly in the 320s by the end of the month. I have managed to stick to my lent goals with the exception of the 2 beef meals I've had. I will admit Applebees has been calling and it was rough avoiding the scallops with bacon but I'm ok. Funny who I can ignore the Ben and Jerry's and not the scallops. I wonder if it will get easier. Happy that I am not forming any new attachments with food. I do have a craving for hooter, but I think their salads (if you can call it that, more like salad dressi...
One of my new year's resolutions was to post more in my blogs, particularly my intuitive eater blog. So I bought a scale yesterday because I couldn't find one that was easily accesible when I wanted to know my weight. It is a Tanita Scale . It is the best scale I've ever used. easy, no wacky changing depending on when you get on and off and the alignment of the moon and stars. So in 3 months I've only lost 2 lbs. I really am not as upset as I probably would have been because I lost it eating supposedly bad foods and not being miserable. I bought the scale to keep me a little more focused and honest.

Ignoring people at work/ catching up on excercise

Well not that I look back since i last blogged I haven't been doing well, but not horrible either. I didn't work out Sun-Tues. and I have been out twice so i have one more time to go out this month and I know I am going to blow that so we'll see. I think the problem is I went away for the weekend and I wasn't carting food with me and I can't say I made good choices while I was away so I'll have to deal with that. Now that I am back home though I am doing better. I cooked last night really good curry chicken and broccoli. I ate the whole pot but I think I am only at most at 2000 for the day. I had a smartone and a danish and only water. I weight myself in eight days and really hoping I am under 325. Blah. I did Prevention 3-2-1 work out today for 35 min. I didn't do any of the ab stuff since getting up and down on the floor is a pain. I have a pain in my left knee but it seems to be better. I am 15 min from 200 min for the week which would put me back...
