Re: Would like your input-- to diet or not to diet? That is the question.

I doubt you'll really lose scale weight without changing your diet. What

does it look like now? We certainly don't want you getting clobbered by an

amazonian.

A lot of stuff out of the eating for life book, plus either a 100cal

pack of cookies or 1oz of dark chocolate every day. I eat a

protein/carb meal every three hours but I find that counting and

weighing and measuring tends to trigger the binge/purge thing.

Probably more starchy carbs than is strictly necessary lol.

Do you think the snack-type snack keeps you from getting into your food

issues? So you need to keep it? Maybe add a protein to it? Little bit of

chicken followed by CHOCOLATE! (Sorry, I had to yell in celebration of

chocolate).

And what if you clean up the carbs and do more fruits and vegetables? Is

there a time of day that is easier for you? I always want more junky stuff

in the afternoon, so I try to keep it cleaner the other meals. That sort of

idea.

Yeah, one meal a day, usually pwo, I have an EFL-style meal plus 100-

150 cals worth of dessert. It may be a better idea just to have

protein and chocolate. I'm sorry CHOCOLATE!! lol. . . Or keep the

PWO EFL meal plus dessert but reduce the starchy carbs the rest of

the time. Or both.
