Feeling a little frustrated…
23 January 2007 by livingrainbowcolor
… sadly without understanding why.
I think I’ll just core dump thoughts here.
- Eat less, eat more, exercise less, exercise more, no confident way to lose weight
- Clearly eating more calories than I need, it’s the physics, but can’t quite make that switch from food-think to life-think
- Tired of thinking about it
- Don’t think weighing helps much except to keep me thinking about this
- Want to run down the list of “normal” life behaviors that I want and work towards those
- Want, want, want
Aah, frustration decoded! I want to relax and spend some time being “normal.” What’s normal?
- not thinking about food all day
- not thinking about exercise all day
- dividing my time between my musts (like work) and wants (hobbies, entertainment)
Aah, second decoding. If my goal is normalcy, and it is built out of serving the musts and wants rather than the eating disorder beast, then I would serve myself better by measuring how well I’m achieving those goals. Time for a new spreadsheet! (You’d be amazed what I can pack into an Excel workbook).
- Measure how well-focused I am at work
- How many hours I work, or better, overtime hours
- How much time/attention I spend daily on my hobbies
- My list of chores completed or started
- What I’m doing for activity and how much (rather than my current and flawed measurement of how many calories SparkPeople thinks I have burned)
This could be interesting.
