I don't know what to think about the scale. It's a frustrating piece of metal!!! Feels like if I weigh only once a week, then if I have a gain, then there's nothing I can do about it. If I weigh daily, then I can at least know where I'm at. I try not to freak out about what I see. I just keep doing everything I know to do, everyday!!! Eventually the little number goes down!! Keep on fighting and don't give up ~ no matter what!

I eat as ...I figure I have an eating disorder too. I eat as much as I can and I exercise as much as I can. I know that if I eat without working out, I will gain more than I already weigh. I think people who are obese have an eating disorder or an "non-activity disorder". I know the root of my problem and I mostly work through them. Like, "Rosa, you don't need a muffin because you are anxious about picking up the kids at 4:30 and rushing home to cook dinner before 7:00 p.m. T-Ball." We have to work through our issues. Try to read "Women, Food and God." It may give you some clarity. <br /><br />And for what it's worth, I weigh in everyday because I am doing The Line Diet where I graph my weight to see the bigger picture. It has been helping me make changes to stop from overeating, especially during my high activity days. Good luck. Thanks for commenting on my blog.

It actually has a name EDNOS....eating disorders not otherwise specified. I've read an awesome book written by a girl called Life Inside the Thin Cage about EDNOS. <br /><br />I weigh at least 2x a day...probably more. It's ridiculous. My first thought about the cruise was...how the heck am I going to go a week without knowing my weight. How stupid is that?!?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7282681128248565231.post-76926500943094380702010-07-09T08:33:33.642-07:002010-07-09T08:33:33.642-07:00Glad to see you are back! :) I think we all have ...Glad to see you are back! :) I think we all have our "food issues". But seriously, yours sounds fairly easy to solve regarding the weigh thing. <br /><br />I try not to weigh myself more than 1 time a week and I have heard that many times trainers or nutritionists recommend weighing yourself only once a month.<br /><br />I think that a far more productive use of numbers would be for you to track caloric intake (and outtake), and not scale weight. There are too many variables with weight...<br /><br />Have a great weekend! :)Karen Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05928723446644610347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7282681128248565231.post-19548760916607998592010-07-09T06:37:31.691-07:002010-07-09T06:37:31.691-07:00It's those little "bits" along the w...It's those little "bits" along the way that get us the information we need to succeed. Those little bits are invaluable!<br /><br />Thanks for your kind comments on my blog and I'm gald you got your goals in! :D<br /><br />Re: the ice cream. Yes, it can be just frozen bananas--or you can add other fruit, either frozen or fresh. <br /><br />If I use just bananas, I find that I have to add a couple tablespoons of milk--although any liquid would do--or it's too dry.<br /><br />You freeze bananas. One large banana makes a big bowl of ice cream. After frozen, take out of freezer and let sit on counter for about 5 minutes so that you can get a knife through it.<br /><br />Chop into about 1 inch chunks. Put them in the food processor and turn it on. Hold on to the machine. :)<br /><br />Scrape down as needed, add milk if it looks grainy. It takes abaout 5 minutes all together.<br /><br />You'll be amazed at the result.<br /><br />If I add blueberries, I usually don't need the liquid. 1 banana + 1/2 c frozen blueberries.<br /><br />You'll experiment and find out which foods work best. If I add frozen strawberries, it comes out moer like sherbet than creamy ice cream. Still good!<br /><br />The main thing is to let it whirl in the food processor long enough. You'll tell when it's done--it looks all creamy. :D<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
