Down 2 pounds

well, been on it 6 months ... because it's become such a strong habit even the
unconfortable feeling is somewhat enjoyed now ...

actually I kind of like the feeling of starving or controling my cravings ...
you might think I'm crazy but I am kind of addicted to that feeling.

Troll or serious eating disorder?

Chris (the OP) is UPPING her calories to 1500, not
cutting to 1500--she's contemplating GAINING to
maintain her goal weight range.

Do be very careful - it sounds as though you might be heading towards an
eating disorder and, as I'm sure you know, that can be very dangerous.

Well, it seems I've lost two pounds in the past week, despite eating
rather carelessly (not excessive calories, but more sugar and fat than
usual) and exercising less. Today I weighed in at 141. I'm feeling a
little conflicted about whether to change my goal range (145-150).
It's hard to feel like I want to gain weight -- after all this time
focusing on losing -- but I'm certainly not trying to continue losing
either. I'm going to up my daily calorie target to 1500 (has been
1400 for the last few weeks), though I don't know that I'll hit it
today as I feel like I'm starting a cold and my throat is sore. I
think I'll leave my goal range as is for now and play it by ear.

Wow, your continued loss is amazing, Chris! I agree -- see what happens with your
body naturally and perhaps set a "too low" mark where you might want to consult with
a good nutritionist or get bloodwork done or something just so you have the peace of
mind knowing that all systems are go. 1500 calories sounds like a good strategy.

Seems colds are going around. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks :-). So far it's still just a sore throat and general
tiredness.

You gotta be kidding me, a goal of 1500? Just giving up soda and junk food is
enough to cut 300-500 calories a day for most Americans! Another couple hundred
can be cut if meals are prepared in advance at the correct size and eating only
when hungry to the last drop. I've used these strategies to cut my calories
down to 1000, and I intend to stay that way. Also, sometimes I go to sleep
instead of eating when I'm starving badly or craving bad foods.


^^

hint: how *not* to diet...

Especially since I am not trying to lose any more weight, and in fact
would like to add a few pounds of muscle over the next few months. A
1000-calorie diet would not support either goal. I would continue
losing, and I don't want to. So this advice is way off-target for me!

Yep :-). I don't think she read my message very carefully. And I'd
probably vote for troll, given the contentious tone of her posts. But
who knows?
