14 days no logging
and I'm sure I'm generously over-eating. its always so hard for me to maintain once I've hit the goal weight or accomplished some other goal (like running a marathon). My unhealthy relationship with food means I get to tell myself "I deserve it after so long being good" and "I earned it" fundamentally - food is still a…

Marathon Tapering

so the weight is gone...
Today I celebrate the end of my current weight loss program - down 65 pounds (from 224.8 to 159.6) over 21 weeks! This is my ideal weight, and the best weight I've been at on my 8-year up and down roller coaster of nutrition. So this feels like success... but I still need help figuring out what to do now, and how to…
