I certainly agree that it's not a diet, it's a real disorder. I just see how it's tempting- I've never done it and I'm glad I haven't, because I watch her struggle with the disorder and try so hard and have such meltdowns. It's a really huge problem. I'm glad I didn't join her- I can have a cheat day without having an…

Oh, I think I'm seeing why this might seem neurotic- I'm not actually going to carry around a scale or a cup measure! I'm just going to eyeball stuff, I'm not going to have a calculator out, I'm not THAT neurotic.

I highlighted everything under 100 calories in green, and everything over 160 calories in red. For the desserts, I just picked the worst three and the best three. I was surprised at the gravy- I thought those would be AWFUL. (However, as a vegetarian, those aren't on my menu anyways.) And I was amazed at how many calories…

I get over there and start lifting fine, but then I start getting less confident as I notice the eyes of the men on me. To give myself confidence, I focus entirely on what I'M doing, bork everyone else. It's not too hard for me because I do 1-minute sets in a big circuit, so I'm looking at my timer pretty often.
