Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 OK I'm using the excel spreadsheet weekly journal. I down loaded it from our files. Or trying too! I add in my food and the caleries, ect. or the point value (like for a banana) if I don't have the breaddown. Then I round up for actual points. S000000, why is it telling me my points for breakfast was 4.9 when it is actually 3 pts. then for lunch I used 3.5 points and it say's I've used 5.7! My total points so far today is 6.5 and it is telling me that I have used 10.6 so far today. Well I am really confused!

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 I tried the points calculator.. but it doesn't allow you to enter decimals. Like .5 g of fat.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Something I found insightful was a suggestion to ask yourself " Who says?!? " whenever you catch yourself thinking - that's a good/bad food or I look fat or any of the zillion negative, unkind things we heap upon ourselves. The purpose of this is to help you reclaim YOUR power to make decisions by and for yourself. And remember, you don't have to be 'perfect' at this either ;-) Keep up the wonderful efforts - Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > We had a progressive breakfast at school today and I still have a hard time not making judgments about what I'm eating.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Take a deep breath. Remember you still have your health and life going on around. The freedom is worth it all no matter how we looks. That is something I learn for long time and guess what I too am losing weights slowly. Not that I mind because it would be less stress over the size clothes if we lose too fast weights then regain all weights back on. For that it would have been waste bunch of money. Relax and take a deep breath....

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Mikki, stop a minute!! You say, "in the last 6 months my weight has stabilized and even dropped a few lbs." Those are certainly successes of which to be proud!! I do wonder about the sizing of clothes these days since a lot if not most are made in other countries. Hang in there!

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Thanks for helping me halt my panic attack ladies! I'm still not jumping for joy that I have a 48 " chest and 39 " waist ... yep, I succumbed to the urge to weigh and measure myself, although I did stop before I got to my hips LOL... but obviously nothing has change since this morning, or last week, or last month, except my THOUGHTS about what I see in the mirror.  I am home now and re-reading chapter 5 of " The 4-day Win " , which talks about the " polar bear effect " (you, know, the more you try not to think about something, be it a polar bear, a pink elephant, or a bowl of ice cream, the more your brain focuses on it), which is helping me remember (along with you all that diets have never worked for me, because they are the completely wrong approach, and that if I'm serious about making a change in my life then I need to do something different than what has failed to work before! To me, that means learning self-acceptance, and being consistently more aware of why I eat when not hungry or eat past fullness in order to give myself opportunities to care for myself in healthier ways such as taking a few minutes to relax or choose an enjoyable activity to ease stress thoughts. I still can't help but *hope* that one of the results will be weight loss (or at least inches lost, as I'm perfectly willing to be the world's first 200 lb size 8 LOL) ... but at least it's not always the FIRST thing on my wish list anymore!  OK, step 1 complete (getting home without either a food scale or a Big Mac , step 2 (re-reading some IE material) commencing!!  Mikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Mikki, WAIT just a second! You are mad because you 'let yourself get like this?' But that's not the truth! I would be willing to bet you have fought this tooth and nail and that your body is the size it is because it's been trying to take care of you. Not only that, but being fat is not a sin or a failing! Fat just is. Don't let one afternoon ruin the peace that you have found. You deserve more than that. I would recommend looking through www.adipositivity.com It is NOT safe for work and may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it helped me tremendously to see the beauty in my own body. Have a cup of tea, sweetie, and give yourself a hug. You are doing great and you will continue to do so. ~` Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Mikki, trying on clothes has been a real challenge for me, too. Hang in there, you'll feel better tomorrow!!! The problem is not you, it's the clothes!!!!!!! Were you getting caught up in the sizes, instead of what looks and feels good? I absolutely cannot buy bras from the stores. They just don't have my size. I fitted myself with a cloth tape measurer and order them online. As for clothes, if they look bad, I say, well, the problem is this clothing, not me. And I go on, until I find the clothes that fit my beautiful body beautifully. The biggest thing that has helped me turn my thoughts around is visualization before going shopping. Before I go, I imagine myself being really calm and happy and really enjoying myself. I imagine easily finding clothes that I feel really good in, and it just seems to happen. Good luck, Sara > > Ugh, I just spent 2 hrs trying on bras and clothes and I'm soooo disgusted with what I saw in the mirror and with myself for letting myself get like this, I'm sitting in the parking lot crying. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi Mikki, Sounds like you've made some great strides in how you're thinking about all this! And I have to say, thank you for your wonderful sense of humor; I appreciate that :.) Laurie To: IntuitiveEating_Support Sent: Fri, December 11, 2009 3:36:43 PMSubject: Re: Re: Help!
