You know that feeling when you are planning a diet and the panic about being deprived compels you to overeat? Geneen Roth talks about this a lot and says this is one of the reasons why diets don't work. (I love her work, but I still believe I can make a diet work and not eventually regain all my weight.)
Anyway, I have Something Big coming up, a New Plan . . . starting on December 1. (Details coming soon!) And the very thought that I cannot eat popcorn in the movie theater makes me want to drive straight to the movie theater so I can eat the largest popcorn they have.
Luckily for me, I am too busy to drive anywhere, let alone a movie theater!
I updated everyone's records . . . so we're all set for tomorrow's weigh in. (You'll read this in the morning--I'm writing it at midnight--and wonder what in the world I'm talking about.) I was in a big hurry to get all the records updated and may not have emailed you . . . but I did fix the records.
By the way, I also updated my blogroll and removed the inactive blogs listed on it. If you have a weight-loss blog you'd like to have listed, just let me know. My blogroll is reciprocal, so if you blogroll me, I will return the favor. Just let me know.
And now . . . time to sleep a little before the madness begins again.
I can't wait to hear the new plan. I think that my state of eating is constantly evolving.

OMG - too funny. I read something where the woman called that same reaction her "Farewell to Food Tour." I just loved that! Whenever I have decided to begin a diet, I always make sure I have pizza and ice cream the night before the big CUT OFF. As if having that last supper (what, is it a diet or death row?) will somehow sustain me through the sheer agony of deprivation for months to come! Oh, the dramatics of it all.
Last night I had a major food freak out. I just snapped and ate a bunch of salty crap (chips, pretzels, bites of pasta, a cookie) and then when I left the house a bit later, I stopped off and bought a package of those tiny oreos and a milk and ate about half of that crap before I steered myself to a dumpster and tossed it. I am letting stress get to me - money, toddler, grouchy husband who seems unmotivated to make more money... you see my point. The damage was not too horrendous and frankly, I was impressed that I actually STOPPED with half of the cookies. Okay - I will stop taking up your comment space and just go do an entry on my blog, which I have been neglecting for days. Since the SIN of Thanksgiving! I can't wait to hear about your new plan of action.
