A minor milestone

kitanziDiets are still boring to everyone who isn't on one - but I'll take my minor triumphs where I can get them, I guess!
I really don't feel like I'm getting anywhere very fast, especially with having a very hard time getting strictly back on diet after the trip to England, but I did get a bit of a boost the other day.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladyat has lost quite a bit of weight herself, and passed on an assortment of jeans and pants that she had undergrown. I found this weekend that I can fit into all of them quite comfortably except for the very smallest, which will fit but pinches. Considering that's a size 14, and I started this whole diet when I literally burst a seam on a size 18, I am feeling rather pleased at the moment.
Guess I am a bit shallow on this, but my creeping weight - and volume! - is something I've been working on for months and concerned about for years. There are a lot of benefits in how healthy I feel as well, but I have to admit there's a certain satisfaction in zipping up those smaller jeans.

Date: 2003-03-18 08:28 am (UTC)the taste, smell, look of food, and there is some correlation between eating and needing to eat I think that's entertainment but appropriate. Foods just too sensuous to ignore. :-) It's when the entertainment is to fill a gap left by boredom or to sublimate frustration/stress etc - then that's a problem. (at least that's my take on it! ;-)
I really loved the Geneen Roth books on eating. I did some of her exercises and found them *very* interesting.
HUGS! We have to be gentle to ourselves
