I can't say that I have ever fished food from the trash, that would mean I am over the edge for real, but yes I have mindlessly munched especially while cooking, and I became a closet weigher (is that a word?), weighing myself sometimes as much as three times a day. It took reading your blog, seeing the before and after shots and forcing myself to take a real one of myself for me to get on the ball! Thanks for the inspiration to do this right FINALLY! Renee R

want a good hint??? I let my dog lick my plate clean after I'm done eating to prevent me from going back for seconds (or thirds).... a good dog slime covered plate usually helps!

been there, done that.

Where's my t-shirt?

Also, before becoming the stone-cold no-nonsense eater I am now, I could (shamefully) find myself popping the remnants of an Oreo cookie that my daughter had dropped (after licking all the stuffing off of it of course)into my mouth. And basically, eating anything chocolate that they didn't finish or that hit the ground but passed the ten second rule.

Looking back, of course, I realize my resemblence in these mannerisms to the family dog and the vaccuum cleaner.

Ugly.

ya know... i was just thinking this morning back to last fall when i got the stomach flu and lost a few pounds right before my brother-in-law's wedding. i said to myself, "i wish that would happen again right now and i could just reach my goal for this week." and then i read your post and thought, "ha! i'm not alone..." it's true, though, just as anonymous said, that's probably not a very healthy thought. :) we're all a work in progress, right?peaches02

No worries, I eat stuff I find in the trash all the time!

Sounds like me =p Some times I even turned on the Ipod, wishing it wasn't working just so I'd have a good excuse to myself for skipping workout!

As for the disorder eating comment, as though we must be aware of that, we must also beware the etiquette we can stick ourselves to. It's a basic psychology principle : if you'Re called something, you might become it.

All in all, this post was fun and did get a smile out of me this morning. I so can relate!

2007-07-10T23:17:00.000-07:00

I have done everything on that list. And HOW MUCH do I miss Seinfeld? I missed the last season cause I moved from Australia to the US to Canada and back to Australia. When I finally saw the final episode. I cried. How sad is that?

Well thank you very much everyone! Now I have all the external validation I need to continue rationalizing my weirdness away! lol!

2007-07-10T16:54:00.000-07:00

Funny post! I have done most, if not all of these. The taking a bite, then spitting it out has been happening more since I have a food journal partner and I know I'll have to tell her about every bite. We are counting every fat gram and calorie and sharing them via e-mail every night. Makes me think twice about each bite. I'm also guilty of eating off my kids' plates, as if it "doesn't count."

2007-07-10T16:48:00.000-07:00

OK- so the only time I eat gummy vitamins is when I am expecting because normal ones make me puke. Other than that, I have learned I just need to put the food down the sink and turn the water on quick so the temptation is no longer there!

2007-07-10T16:44:00.000-07:00

anonynous, Yes, I suppose they are! Thanks for pointing that out. Hopefully we'll all be a little more mindful of how we view food.

2007-07-10T14:38:00.000-07:00

Katieo,
I remember that Seinfeld SO well, and I would have 100% eaten that eclair! How about this: Am I the only one who eats a small bite, then another small bite, then half a piece, then the other half . . . until I've eaten the whole pan of brownies, cake, etc. I know this is supposed to be a dieting website, so learn from my BAD EXAMPLE.
My five-year-old said to me the other day, "Mom, did you eat like 100 brownies?"

I'm not helping much, am I?

2007-07-10T13:38:00.000-07:00

haha. you are hilarious. i thought i was the only one detracted by a "dead" ipod. and getting secretly excited at having the stomach flu. been there.

thanks for your musings. you inspired me to start my own blog.

oh, how I've been there! :)

Oh my goodness.....you wrote about me!!!! I am glad to know that I am not the only one!!

I found your website through a link on Corinne Crabtree's blog....and I am so glad I did!!!!

2007-07-10T09:07:00.000-07:00

Very funny!

And you totally don't have to work out if the Ipod is dead. You get to go for a walk instead, that's a Rule!

By the way, I thought this post might be worth sharing on Skirt, since I signed up for it and haven't ever remembered to use it. So I gave that a try to see if I can still login and everything. Seems that I can!

Thanks for another great post.

Yup, I've done some of those things. Just last night when I had my "last supper" I told my husband that the gummy bears contained real fruit juice, "REAL FRUIT JUICE!!"

2007-07-10T07:54:00.000-07:00

definitely done the WI then bathroom then WI again...in fact that is done EVERY monday morning on WI day.

and i constantly worry about maintaining my weight loss long-term. I've backslid once from a smaller loss and i'm frightened to death to be over 200lbs and fraught with health problems again :(
