So I'm trying out this intuitive eating thing. I'm not good at it, because the first step is coming to terms with the fact that I have to eat. *annoyed* Sometimes it works, though – this was my thought process while at the store the other… week, I think:
- Dammit, I should get something to eat for dinner.
- What do I want to eat?
- Not the usual pasta/rice crap. The sameness is aggravating.
- I don't want a salad, though…
- I kind of want something chewy.
- Oh! Chicken?
- Yes! Chicken and mashed potatoes and corn and gravy! Okay.
And so I got that and it was delicious. Hm.
I'm reminded of this because currently I would slaughter whole computers for a thing of cherry-flavoured Jello, and I have no reasoning for this a'tall.
In other news, I said that I was no longer going to step on scales, since when I do, it goes poorly for me. I have this thing in my head about trimming numbers down as far as I can, which is great for file sizes but really bad for my body. I'm extending this to include "Also, I will tell doctor-folk this so they won't tell me my weight". Because I'm smart!

I just had a bit of a duh-n00b moment whilst reading a blog elsewhere, so I'll put my comment here.
The various dieting programs (WW, Jenny Craig, whatever the hell) market themselves as being Awesome Like Whoa at providing weight loss. They don't disclose the real numbers or do any real long-term studies, so all the public has to go on is how they market themselves. And then said public sees fat people. So naturally, they're not going to even know, necessarily, how nigh-impossible it is to lose weight – they're just going to assume that these people are lazy, otherwise they'd be thin right now, as per WW's (and others') advertising.
I got this notion from that link and from a post at Alas, A Blog: "If anyone could reliably make fat people thin, they'd soon have more money than Microsoft and Haliburton combined."
