I have just recently realized I was not eating enough calories on a daily basis - too little one day, too much another, and it was not balancing out. So I intend to watch my calorie/protein etc intake to rebalance my mental calculator, so to speak. -Paym WOW – timely article!

Your attitude is positive and the kind of perspective that serves success rather than undermining it. Thanks for putting it so simply within the context of your own experience. Lani Christina,

I think that is a mistake that is common when people begin a diet or exercise plan, I have been quilty of this myself many times, if you are too ambitious in trying to force the results you want and don't see them right away you are setting yourself up for failure. As you pointed out it is not about the short term but the long term that we should focus on. So if it means cutting a few calories at a time to reach our goal as apose to cutting right down to the goals amount and are only able to maintain it for a week or so before we quit what benefit have we accomplished. Whereas if we gradually cut the calories and maintain it consistently then it may take longer but ultimatly the benefits will be greater. We have to be careful of the "all or nothing" attitude. For example if it is our goal to work out 5 times a week but we only are able to get in a workout three times this week or even once it is better that not at all so we should not give up because we didn't meet our original goal but we can just continue forward and try harder next week to reach that goal. Also, you commented on binging and alot of time we can be hard on ourselves that because we slipped up once that it doesn't matter what we eat now. I think it is alot of mind over matter. I have personally dealt with alot of weight issues and have struggled for years with my weight and still have not accomplished all my goals. I have lost alot of weight though and am proud of what I have accomplished. I have cut alot of calories but I don't like the feeling of being hungry so I eat regularly and I do eat alot but it is what I eat that is important. I appreciate your article it hits home for me in my struggles for weight loss and I hope that my comments can be helpful to other also. Thank you Lani and I will see you also in class.
