Weight Loss Confessions

jenniferether

A little fun: Let's share out about some of those little weird habits we have about our food/weight loss/fitness, that sometimes make no sense whatsoever! I'll start:

1. I treat my scale like a person. I have a digital, so I'll weigh myself like 3 times in a row on it to make sure it has "decided" for sure.

2. I mix juice with seltzer water instead of drinking soda (Except diet coke, my one weakness!)

3. I make sure to burn off an even number of calories (Or a multiple of 5)

4. If it looks like exercise, I feel really dumb dong it in front of people.

5. I get really weirded out when I see someone eating a meal that contains more calories than I eat in like 3. I'm not against it or anything, it just sort of confuses me. Like a magic trick! Okay, that wasn't a good comparison, but you get my point.

So those are some of my weird food/weight loss/fitness confessions. What are yours?

If I'm somewhere with friends or family and see someone shoveling everything in sight into their mouth it makes me physically sick!!! I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

If a serving size shows cups and weights...I use the food scale and weigh it instead of measuring it because I'm positive it's more accurate. I have weighed something and then measured it to double check their accuracy!

-I drink a cup of green tea and a cup and a half of vegetable broth before almost every meal to avoid eating too much.
-I obsess over sodium and sugar content WAY more than the number of calories in food
-I am afraid to get a scale because I don't want to become obsessed with weighing myself
-I don't usually allow myself to go out and get a reaaally bad meal from a restaurant, but occasionally, when I do, I try and make sure to burn off at least half of the calorie intake for that particular meal after I've eaten it.
-I never drink my calories (unless I'm juicing)
-I fill up on grapes and other fruit when I'm hungry throughout the day so I can keep my calories for lunch and dinner a little higher

If I take a bite of something and then decide that it's not "worth it," I'll spit it out....often even if I'm at a restaurant or at a store (those free samples!).

4. If it looks like exercise, I feel really dumb dong it in front of people.

hee hee... you said "dumb dong"

i, too, am self conscious about exercising in front of people. like the p90x plyometrics... i feel like i am flailing about as others are doing actual things like lifting weights.

I constantly flex my arms in the mirror. They look so much better, especially my shoulders.

I subconsciously flex my abdominal muscles throughout the day.

That's all I can think of for now.
