My body YELLS when it wants/needs something. For example, I've been 114-117 pretty consistently for the past year. That is not because I haven't been trying to diet. Every time I get a little progress I lose control; my body flips a switch in my head and I end up binging on graham crackers or something.
My usual caloric intake, before "relapsing," was between 1200 and 2000. I've been wondering if it would be better to raise the caloric expectation slightly while focusing harder on habitual exercise. This would decrease the chance of binging and increase physical fitness. It may also help to keep my metabolism decent.
On the other hand, I'm disgusted that I can't bring myself to muster more control over my own eating habits. Eating is so consumerist, so in-evolved. And I've been obsessed with food itself for so long that I've even been keeping up a baking blog. Getting pretty good at those home-baked bread loaves! Now bread, those containing simple carbohydrates, is my arch enemy. Or is all bread now forbidden?
Oh Ana! Ana, you are quite the goddess. You cannot help but to bring your followers to obsession and despair. They are captivated by your gaze, your beautiful bones. They die trying to become like you.
What did you eat today?
| Morning: |
|
| Total calories = 1205 | Points = 75 |
How many points did you accrue?
75
How much did you exercise?
rollerblading for 30 minutes; walking for 1 hr.
Did you exercise enough to eliminate the points (30 minutes + # of points)?
For today, I have 15 points leftover. From the past few days there are still quite a few.
Do you have any points to roll over for tomorrow? How many?
175 + today's 15 = 190. That's a bit over 3 hrs. Call it 3 and 1/2 for a penalty.
Did you work on your abs?
Not yet but I will soon.
Did you stretch?
A little. Will do more soon.
