And at some point the food does not even taste good anymore!

However, I have never been "normal" like you for any length of time so I don't know what it is like to operate from that viewpoint.<br /><br />One thing you may want to consider is that failure teaches you things about yourself and what you need to do differently. I've noticed that you resist structuring your eating by planning and counting calories and try to follow a more intuitive approach. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that except for the fact that you had a day like this and it is troubling you. You may not be capable of "freeform" weight loss and may have to consider doing some things you don't want to do in terms of knowing your limits.<br /><br />In essence, I'm saying it's easier to put on the brakes when you know exactly where you have to stop. Right now, you can stop wherever you want, and given this flexibility, it seems you stop far beyond a point which you are happy with in terms of weight loss wishes. Obviously, I don't know what works for other people, but this post is showing what isn't working for you. You can use it to find a way to get the control you desire.screaming fatgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556199963917842135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042613739572921643.post-39305196588101929022010-08-02T00:21:13.634+01:002010-08-02T00:21:13.634+01:00For me, I would never start my day off with juice....For me, I would never start my day off with juice. There's far too much sugar in it, even though it is natural sugar. It would set off my carb cravings like mad, the fact that you ate 3 pieces of toast doesn't even suprise me. <br /><br />I have to be very careful with fruit, some of it effects me the same as eating a donut, some of it nothing at all. I did however, have blueberries in my oatmeal this morning and they don't seem to make me crazy for carbs like an apple would. I have no idea how that works, but its something you may want to consider.Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042613739572921643.post-71894117326143319092010-08-01T22:15:32.764+01:002010-08-01T22:15:32.764+01:00I think it's a pretty common scenario.

I've made a little progress, like you, and expect I'll eventually make more. I'm not rushing, not hurrying about it, just chipping around the edges until things are running smoothly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042613739572921643.post-89841389977825184652010-08-01T19:53:30.220+01:002010-08-01T19:53:30.220+01:00My self talk is really harsh now.

Anything carboliscious even as simple as toast and honey, which would turn into a whole loaf and a pot of honey, are off limits. At least until I can figure out the answer to the other question you asked, "Why didn't I apply the brakes". I wish I could answer that one!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828976493945316609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042613739572921643.post-24824522440027930272010-08-01T17:22:47.548+01:002010-08-01T17:22:47.548+01:00FG: This truly is a struggle for most of us.

I was once a "normal" sized gal also, but over time and over troubles I put on way too much weight. <br /><br />For me, I can't stop at one piece of toast because I overeat to soothe my feelings (too poor, not good enough, naughty child, pissed off at Husband, boss is an ass, etc.) Whatever that inner voice is saying can be muffled with more/too much food. What is insane is that this strategy doesn't take care of the problem, it just covers it up more.<br /><br />As I throw weight away and make healthier choices, I still have to deal with that inner critic/scared child that is underneath.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong. I was raised on tea and homemade toast and homemade jam as a solution to EVERYTHING. God love my mother, but another less fattening strategy would have been nice too.<br /><br />Jo :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
