Fundamental physics is still fundamental physics
The formulas are as complex or as simple as you like.
Weight = (current weight) + (weight from food eaten) – (weight from energy expended)
This is true every single moment of every single day. If I eat a pound of food or drink a pound of water, I gain a pound. [...]

When I feel good and occupied with my life, I don’t overeat. Therefore, the more good feelings I can bring into my life, the easier it will be for me to eat intuitively.
Here’s a list I just made of things I like and do not like. My intent is to recognize the Do Not side, and [...]

My plans are in place, and I’ve been working them for about a week. A little before I started this plan, I was absorbing information from Oprah/Eckhart Tolle and Inside Out Weight Loss’ Renee Stephens. Those are the main guides I am currently using to increase my presence and build my current plan.
How am I [...]

After thinking about my doctor’s suggestion to ignore the scale for a while, I decided to do it. Now I’m going to try weighing in only monthly, even though I’m noticing frequent urges to hop on the scale right now.
So far, I’ve rationalized that not only should I step on at the beginning of the month, [...]

It doesn’t matter which intuitive eating process you choose, how many therapists you do or don’t have, which diet you want to follow.
What does matter are the choices you make in each moment - what you eat or don’t eat, what you say to yourself, what you listen to, how you create your own environment.
Everything [...]

After all the work inside my head, I stood on the scale today and saw a lower number than anytime in the last 10 years. Good.

If I were free, totally free of my ED, and if I were a normal size, I would:
Walk up the stairs without pain
Not think about food unless I were hungry
Not feel self-conscious about my size
Not need to rest so often
Not eat so many fatty foods
Not eat so much
Ride my bicycle
Not feel unconfident
Stand more often
Hmm. When [...]

Just to give you a picture of my progress, here are some photos. Probably the total weight loss from earliest picture to newest is 40 pounds MOL. It’s not a very good comparison, though, so I’ll add that the blue pants in the Oct 06 are now loose all over. Also, the yellow shirt picture is [...]

Life’s greatest adventure is finding your place in the Circle of Life. - Lion King
Pulling food out of the trash can. Sneaking bites of frosting in the office kitchen. Hollowing out the inside of a pastry and putting it back. Eating one M&M after another until you feel like your stomach will burst. Letting the [...]

Positive changes I’ve noticed that I am making:
My changes are permanent. Several days of eating lightly don’t result in a late-night tryst with chocolate cake
The more often I eat what I want, when I want it, the more I’m able to choose foods and quantities that will support weight loss
These changes spill over into the [...]
