Sound familiar?

 There's an article on Yahoo's main page this morning from prevention magazine about food obsession.  Do you recognize yourself in any of these?

thanks steph - you posted that as I had decided I wanted to eat breakfast this am- and the only thing that sounded good was romen - I am sure there are wosrse things to eat but not that I don't dump on LOL - ate 1/4 pack with an egg and feel better - now I REALLY have to go to the gym - wth?? who was looking in my window while writting this??

I'm a number 2 and 8 for sure with a sometimes 9!!  Clay swears I'm the food police.  (If only I policed myself.)  I had planned on a bagel with peanut butter for breakfast but after posting on the December thread I changed it to a protein drink cuz I relized I was short on protein for the day.  Planning really DOES work.

I am number 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12!  My inner fat girl lives on but I am a work in progress.

Steph,
mom was here for part of last week. Totally solidified i would NEVER move back to beaumont as long as she was alive. I 'white knuckled' the entire time and several times wished i was alone with my addiction. Not good lol
Moral of the story, once a foodie, always a foodie!

I resemble those remarks!!!  errr.... list

Damn it Stephanie did you have to put it in my face, j/k.  I'm not identifying myself......I won't, I won't *as I stomp my feet and walk away*.

Lets see...

2. You eat without feeling hungry - Working on this one but it's a hard habit to break when I'm bored.

4. There’s zero variety in your diet - Just mentioned this on the Decimate December thread this morning

5. You count every last calorie - Doing this for now, and likely for a very long time.  Seems to be the only way I can really be accountable to myself.

9. You eat differently when alone - I eat so much less when I'm eating with other people at a table.  Conversation seems to dominate then and I eat slow enough to realize I'm full before I get over full.

13. You Overdo Workouts -Now I've done this unintentionally before, which pushes me to the other extreme of not wanting to work out for fear of hurting myself.

Thanks Steph!  Really, I think it's great to see these things and think about how they relate to us, if they do.
