OK, I am curious. Can you elaborate on what this means? A diagram might help me out...9 -
It's not a race. One day or multiple days eating more than usually doesn't give you licence to throw caution to the wind. Overeating is apart of being human. You just continue on like nothing happened.18

Lol. It’s when they knead into your skin with their paws/claws when they are happy.

Okay--I'm really glad you explained that---I was thinking cat biscuits came from the other end and couldn't figure out why you'd let those anywhere near your boobs!

you will go through my Physiological *kitten* - many people avoid their problems by eating food and when you change your diet you will start to do a self eval that may be painful at first
I think that's why lots of posters on here (me included) mention that once they got control of their eating, other areas of their life also improved. For example, they purged the clutter, handled their finances better, or have more confidence in the workplace. But really, its not that "Now I'm losing weight so everything else falls into place". Its because whatever caused the food issues, also messed up other areas of your life and once you figured that out, the other things improved too. Or I could be totally wrong.49 -
How you'll still have "fat days", especially when weight loss starts to slow down and the changes aren't so drastic anymore but definitely not as many fat days as before. You'll KNOW you look good, unfortunately sometimes you'll FEEL like you don't. Hmm, weight loss is one thing, now I have to figure out how to be at peace with myself.25

I know I'm in the very smallest minority, but I had "thin days", days where feeling thin scared me. It's one thing I had to work through because at the my lightest (still overweight) it was a shock to me and I didn't want it. This lead to a spiral and a large regain... I hope I'll be ready for it when I get back to that weight. Being a "happily fat" person has its downsides.27 -

Plus how much harder you have to work to burn calories......12

That sites like this are important for celebrating your victories because a lot of people in your real life just don't want to hear about it.58

Ditto pretty much what everyone else has said.
Also - I’ve become a food snob. I used to eat any old chocolate, but now if I’m having a treat, it can only be *good* chocolate. If I’m having a slice of cake, it’s not a sheet cake from the discount grocery store, but a really good bakery cake: it has to be *worth* the calories. Now that I drink coffee black, it can’t be Tim Hortons (their coffee is so gross if it’s not a double-double) but a fair-trade, ground-at-home black coffee.43 -
People will assume you only eat rabbit food even though you very clearly say you track calories.
I ran into a coworker in the kitchen. She looked at my food and said "That looks like macaroni and cheese... But it can't be! What is it?" To which I replied "It's mac and cheese."
(Pff you think I'd still be on this "diet" if I couldn't eat mac and cheese? Please.)51 -
As you get less fat the fat can appear more obvious compared to muscle since there's less and it looks out of place. Also, where you lose fat becomes very noticeable (such as not losing much in the stomach but arms are looking skinnier)22

We call that "making puddings". Same idea.8 -

Going through that right now... I can't just rush into pasta and bread and cheese to turn my brain off anymore. My brain being "on" 24/7 isn't always very pleasant!!

What is CICO?
Oh you sweet summer child...26
