Doing one thing different

I am so frustrated with myself lately. I just don't know what the hell is wrong with me. I'm one of those people who has everything under control. I've been successful at everything I've ever tried-except managing my weight. I know it's not because I'm dumb or don't have willpower or don't understand nutrition. There's more to it than that. That's part of why I get so mad at thin people who make stupid remarks to overweight people like "why don't you try counting calories." Ugh.

Anyway, I've been counting calories and it is NOT working. I do well and get obsessive, then I get bingey and in the end (as with every diet) I end up gaining weight. So, I know I need to take a more behavioral strategy. So, I am hereby vowing to do only one thing different. From now on I am vowing to only eat when I am truly rumbly-tummy hungry. I know that making this one change will make a big difference to me. Even when I count calories or do ww or atkins I find myself eating when I'm not hungry because I have the calories or points or whatever. This behavior needs to end. So, I'm coming out here and stating that this is my new goal. Y'all can feel free to ask me how it's going because I probably need it.

Anyone else have one thing they really need to focus on?

Forte, if you are on this board becuase you are overweight....

HOW DID YOU GET THAT WAY ?

You seem to have ALL the answers, so I'm looking forward to your explanation.

Hey, that's what I do when I just open the door a crack and peek out while deciding I don't feel like excersizing today!

I thought a peek performance was what the ladies do at the "XXX Live Girls 25 cent shows!" place off of the highway.

You're worth it, Faith!

I didn't realize you were in western Michigan, I just "peeked" at your profile. I grew up in eastern Michigan, near Ann Arbor.

BINGO !!! You noticed that too ? Sentence structure, word usage..all dead giveaways. What an unconstructive use of time. People who have this kind of time to waste really need to find a more enriching hobby.

Speaking of enriching, more power to those of us who recognize our foibles and follies, weaknesses and wants, and have the honesty and strength of character to deal with it the best way we can !

Love ya, Ladies!!!

BAAAAAAAAAAARK!
