...I tend to not eat enough. It sounds strange, and even I don't get it. But there's a certain point (unbeknownst to most dieters) where your body ceases to burn calories and actually goes into starvation mode -- causing your weight to stabilize or even increase.

It's kind of cool -- an actual visual on 200 calories (or, about 1/7 of my target intake). I guess for me, the issue is about balance -- I'm a woman of extremes. Either I want my chocolate cake and my doritos AND my fried chicken, or I want my hummus and my orange and my string cheese and none of that other junk.
"Middle ground" is a land foreign to me. And I'm not going to eat 1,425 grams of celery every time I need a boost. I don't even like celery. It's so...stringy. Blech.
I'm sure you all care immensely about what I'm eating. But let's face it...I live in a pool house, ten miles from the Gulf of Mexico, and I'm also going to be in a wedding in August (not mine, and I'm not even holding out hope to meet a strapping young gentleman...although maybe...Gina, talk to Jeff: Will the love of my life be there?...but that doesn't change the fact that I want to look fabulous beside my beautiful best bride friend).
That aside, I'm just tired of feeling sick all the time from the foods I eat. It's lame.
K, I'm done.
we're inviting him ;) also, I think I'm going to go look at dresses on saturday. I'll let you know what I discover :)
ReplyDeleteand also, you're sweet, and you'll look fabulous no matter what :)
Hahaha. Last evening a handful of us went to Blimpie burger for a delicious ball of grease. Later on, some of us were studying/job hunting whilst eating Oreo's and I made some comment about the healthfulness of it...but the consensus was that since we'd already had Blimpie, it couldn't really get much worse. Yay for extremes! (or not?)
ReplyDeleteI've had that thought process more times than I can count. Or the, "I worked out this morning, so that makes it okay, right?"
