All Talk, Little Action

I did not eat the best this weekend but somehow managed to lose .5 pound. I have a formal event on Friday and am seriously considering doing Atkins for the next few days to get down a little more. See, this is my problem...I procrastinate before a big event and at the last minute I end up doing some kind of crappy fad diet to lose quickly...then I start eating normal again and it all piles back on.

I am moving more - getting in two solid workouts a week and, according to my Active Link device, am earning at least 3, sometimes 5-7, activity points each day. That is a start and probably the only reason I haven't gained another 5 pounds.

Part of the reason I have gravitated towards fad diets is that I am all or nothing when it comes to eating. I haven't mastered the art of moderation. I either eat no cake or I eat two pieces. I either eat hardly anything or eat all day. If I have one piece of popcorn, I will have 100. I have tried monitoring my hunger and sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. I do find that I eat better on the days when I workout in the afternoon.

I feel like all I do is whine about my situation - I know, I need to do something about it!
