I am going through a 3 lb weight gain too – last week i was up 3 lbs – it seems impossible to me too – but i’ll find out tomorrow.

I loaded up on the water so I hope that helps!

I do the “Oh it’s 11:45 time for lunch”. I am trying to break that habit but wow, its hard!! I am working on it though.

wow….people like your husband truly amaze me. i definitely feel the need to eat at specific times just b/c it’s lunch time or dinner time…but every once in a while i’ll shock myself and actually listen to my body.

I am so glad you feel better. I was thinking about you today– and I had total confidence that you’d exercise and eat right and feel right back on track.

I am the *worst* about not paying attention to my body. Sometimes I put off eating when I'm hungry, and more frequently I eat when I'm not just because it's "time."

Yay for you, being THAT girl. You deserve to pat yourself on the back. I'll even join in on patting you on the back.

I totally understand eating by the clock. It’s the way I eat too.

I’m also anxiously awaiting your whole wheat pizza dough (with a video?!)

Hi RONI!! I found a site that you might enjoy…

LOVE your site and you are right, I eat because it’s time to or because someone else is…not because I am hungry….bad habit!

So funny because I always think the same thing about my boyfriend. I eat because I want food; he eats because he’s hungry.

Your post really hit home today. My husband is the same way…he eats whatever he wants, but he is just not controlled by food the way I am. If he’s hungry, he eats, if he’s not, he doesn’t. Simple as that. Simple? I don’t think so! But I think guys also don’t connect emotions and food the way women tend to. Lucky them!

Also, the other day, DH said to me, “When you get to your goal weight, you’re just going to complain that you’re fat anyway.” He didn’t say it to be mean, but he was right. When I was thin, I didn’t know how good I looked. I watched a video of myself the other day and was like “Wow! I really thought I was fat?” I would LOVE to look like that now! I can say now that I will truly appreciate being thin when I get there again, but I don’t know. You really have to change the WAY you look at yourself, not just how you look.

on the weekends i only eat when hungry, but in the office it’s like i have to eat at certain times. i think my body thinks it’s hungry at 9am, 1pm, and 4pm, no matter if it really is or isn’t!

I don’t remember the last time I didn’t eat lunch. Granted – I’m usually hungry but I’m sure there are times that I’m not, I’m just eating because I’m “supposed” to. Good food for thought.

And I’m waiting for the pizza dough recipe too! We are big Friday-Night-Homemade-Pizzaers so I can’t wait!
