While it is tempting to cut back calories more and more or do something drastic it will just leave you in a worse position. Have you read new Rules of Lifting for Women? There is a great section on dieting and what happens when you go lower and lower or do drastic measures. I also recommend Inutitive Eating. I am re-reading it now and it really has some wonderful insights, especially for those of us that have dealt with overeating/binges etc.

I'm really doing really fine, on a steady rational course of action. I'm trusting Leigh's program rather than trusting my inner mind, (except for my positive thoughts)... I wrote that message just to document the feelings, and would have put it on my log, except I thought it would spur a good conversation and for others here to also think about / transform our inner unhealthy ED and DE thoughts that rule us and keep us living in permanent deficit
Thanks for the book suggestions...
