    go talk a walk to work it off and calm your emotions!

    sometimes I purposely eat a high calorie meal to mess with my metabolism....last night was pizza, garlic knots and greek salad - YUMMMY but only once in a while!

    I wish that was a treat. It was gross. Maybe if it was tasty. Ive really got to let it go. I ate it now I have to deal with my consequences. Im breathing. Ill be calm soon....... im going to start my om mantra now.

    thats awesome that you don't associate it with a treat. shows a true lifestyle change.

    I didnt even realize, until you said it, that I didnt see it as a treat. Wow. Im glad you said that. The craving I had for a good hamburger is gone now. I dont know if want hamburgers anymore now. Wow I like you. I love this site the people here are freaking awesome.

    chrissyh-i like the idea of messing with my metabolism, i do think that eating a high calorie meal is a great way for me to treat myself and keep my body guessing. i like you too.....oh i need to add im jealous that you ate pizza.:happy:

    We can do it!!!!! I am toying with changing my goals around - maybe doing a week at 1200 calories and then back to my 1400....just to mess with my metabolism a bit! Too late to start it today since I had fajitas for lunch - maybe....still pondering....

    I REALLY wish I could say that I lost this week!! I think it's mostly water weight... well at least I'm very HOPEFUL!! I gained the 3 lbs that I had lost, but I can't bring myself to adding them back onto my ticker!!! How bad is that?? I went to Buffalo for a couple days and I wasn't drinking the water that I usually do... AND I ate Vietnamese (can we say sodium? :grumble: ) but it was good :tongue: AND I had 4 beers, or was it 5!!! :drinker: VERY GOOD when you're sweating up a storm on the golf course!!!

    I think that's not a good idea. 2lbs a week is too high when you don't have much to lose. That's why you read about all the people that are doing everything "right" and aren't losing. Our bodies like fat so trying to lose too fast will just cause your body to hold onto it.

    Chrissyh- Have thought about zig-zaging your calories?

    I am thinking about doing this too. I'm at a mini plateau like stage and it's really starting to discourage me. I hate bouncing between the same 4 pounds for weeks at a time. I might need to shock my system a little bit to get my metabolism working again. :ohwell:

    Try this website. After you calculate you calories, click "7 day calorie cycle (zig-zag)" under your results and it will tell you how many to eat each day of the week.

    I swear looking at what I've eaten, I sorta already do this but maybe I still have too many Low days - I've had that problem before - that's why I want to try to be dead on with 1270 a day and eating exercise calories - I am starting it today!!! We'll see how this week goes with it.

    I just eat my goal weight maintenance calories and use exercise to give me the extra weight loss umph.
