My journey....
So, I'm trying to do things differently, in every aspect of my life, including my relationship with food. I am tired of gaining and loosing the same 20-40 pounds! Yet this journey is WAY more than loosing the weight. I'm tired of eating to cope with stress or boredom. I'm tired of mindless eating and then wondering how I have to dig my fat clothes out, again! I am set on a new course... One of true self discovery and one that will help me sustain a healthy relationship with food for the ...
So, I'm trying to do things differently, in every aspect of my life, including my relationship with food. I am tired of gaining and loosing the same 20-40 pounds! Yet this journey is WAY more than loosing the weight. I'm tired of eating to cope with stress or boredom. I'm tired of mindless eating and then wondering how I have to dig my fat clothes out, again! I am set on a new course... One of true self discovery and one that will help me sustain a healthy relationship with food for the remainder of my lifetime. I hope the support I find here will help me on my new journey!

My Goals:
To learn how to have a healthier relationship with food. To not continue to gain and loose the same 20-40 pounds over and over, again. To not obsesss over food, worry or become anxious about indulging once in a while or denying myself anything of my favorites. To learn how to eat in moderation, to stop eating when I am satisfied (not full to the point of feeling stuffed or sick), to eat when I am physically hungry (not emotionally hungry), and to not beat myself up, mercilessly, if I fall short of my expectations.
My Program:
Maintain a healthy caloric intake, eating what my body needs to nourish it, not to feed my emotions, alleviate my bordem and break poor eating habits and coping mechanisms surrounding food.
Currently I have been keeping a detailed food journal of everything that passes my lips and the time I ate. I also work out 5-6 days a week at the gym or outside. This includes spinning, boot camp, Pilates, weight lifting, biking, hiking and trail running. I enjoy the challenge of working out and also keep an exercise journal to motivate me.
Personal Information:
My name is Dawn. I'm almost 43. I have struggled with my weight and body image as far as I can recall.
At my heaviest (2002-ish) I weighed 204 pounds and at my lightests adult weight I have been in the high 130's. My current goal is 143, I am 5'6.5" tall with a medium to large frame. I tend to gain the same 20-40 pounds over and over, and usually "catch" myself when I reach a weight in the high 170's. I am trying to stop this cyclical insanity by working on my unhealthy relationship with food. I am eager to maintain a healthy, reasonable goal weight (~ 143) /clothes size (8-10).
Other Information:
Heaviest known weight ~ 2002 was 204 and 48% body fat!
Lowest recalled weight: (~1987) high 130's
Initial goal weight: 143 pounds. May change my goal weight to 138.7 pounds (which is the average of heaviest and latest recommended weights for my height.)
Height: 5'6"+ with medium-large bone structure.
Pear-shaped.
