I heard a somewhat cheesy Oprah-esque idea that made me stop doing it cold. The idea is that when we eat the remains of our kids food, or finish our plates even though we are full or eat something before it goes bad we are just using our bodies as a garbage can. That food is intended for the trash and we are intercepting it. YUCK!

Sigh Nicole you've hit the nail on the head. I beat myself up something fierce. I know everyone always says to stop that but that's easier said than done. I've always struggled with it. And it's a vicious cycle for sure. One little mishap and I kick myself until I end up eating even more crap. Sigh. Sometimes I swear this food thing makes me feel like a crazy person lol.
And of course when eating and so on goes South instead of talking about it so I can move on I hide. This log (you know since I haven't been logging this is more like a blog. Maybe a (B) log? anyways) is another one of those things in which I ran and hid instead of keeping things out in the open.
I joined the Women's Challenge. Now I ate crappy for 2 days lol. What sense does THAT make? Anyways I am going to start weighing food again tomorrow, use the rest of this week to get acquainted with the OPT exercises and figure my weights and start officially on that on Monday (though this is the 3rd week I was going to officially start)
At least with all this eating my weight hasn't ballooned. I think I've learned that it takes A LOT of work to really gain weight. It takes a lot of calories to make me gain from where I'm at. Which of course does mean that with a deficit I should be able to lose at a pretty good rate too right?
So here's my challenge stats and pics.
Age: 31
Height: 5'6
Weight: 183.8

Full Bust - 44.25
Under Bust - 35.25
Waist at Bellybutton - 41.5
Hips - 40
R Thigh - 26
R Calf - 15.5
R Bicep - 12
Ouch pictures are painful. Period.
