rocky_road said:Bunny and HidNGod...Are you sure? I definetely see your point, but I'm not sure I will ever look as good as I want to by not dieting. I at least want to diet down before going to college...kind of as a learning experience into my own body before I go ruin it lol. I want to learn how exactly food can make my body work because I feel like I can really make changes to my body if I stop eating some truly very unhealthy things here and there and not considering it as much as I would If I was "dieting".
Okay, I just changed my mind. I see what you mean. I'm already at a healthy weight; there is no need for me to "diet". I just shall pay more attention to what I eat.Thank you!

Thank you, but you're mistaken! Level-headed and rational? You only think so because I change my mind so much that you just read through my decision making process. I switched so fast I hadn't even finished writing the first decision! Lol! But I guess that happens when you're a teenage girl!

Things I'm noticing:
1. I understand you're wary of carbs and see that sometimes, if you keep them away for too long, you go off the deep end with it. I am very guilty of this myself and have conquered this in the past year. Soooo...
2. Instead of sporadically falling into a binge trap, why don't you and your mom plan one day a week and call that your "refurbish/cheat day". If you are using your Fitday (which you're doing great keeping up with, by the way) and seeing the 40/30/30 nearly daily, 6 days a week... day 7 you'll need to replenish your glycogen stores that you have been depleting all week with your workouts (that is, if you're getting 5+ workouts in a week). What you will find is by looking FORWARD to this one day a week, you will be more well-rounded in your eating choices during the week and should have an easier time turning away from the SBD bars, popcorn and protein cookies that may stand in the way.
Yogurt, veggies, salad, milk, Kashi, breads... it's all carbs in small and larger forms, so continue to be religious about the Fitday and keep an eye on how they all add up.
Great news that mom is in this with you now... and instead of "Can have" and "Cannot have" how about "Can wait until Saturday to eat these." If you pick a day of the week to ENJOY food... it's not the enemy anymore. You eat slower, you relish the meal, you love food again and it's guilt-free because Sunday to Friday, you do what you need to do (proper cals, proper macros).
Ciao.

Your advice confuses me. First you pointed out that I go a while without carbs, than kind of binge on them by eating too many, or flat out do binge on them. Then you say to keep it to one cheat meal a week. You were right the first time..I cant really deprive myself-at ALL-of carbs. I have never made it a whole week completely 100% 30/30/40 and quite frankly I'm scared to try!
I'm just trying to be healthy and make slow progress. BTW I don't know if you've noticed but I'm not really keeping up with Fitday. I do sometimes like on the weekends when I think i'd eat badly otherwise. But it's too much of a hassle right now in my life. I don't prepare all of my own foods anyway, and Fitday annoys me. One types in "egg" and gets 5 percent clean foods and 95 percent junk, so one has to basically plug in everything under custom except for like "apple" lol

It's as if I'm punishing myself and holding back myself from success. It starts out by wanting a bite of something--and then I end up overeating. I feel less conscious when I do eat it. I'm trying to fix this----for the rest of my life.
