If I read a book that mentions "tea" (in the British sense), or scones, say, for example, I end up wanting whatever it is that I read about. I'm currently reading Rebecca, where the characters keep mentioning things like tea and scones, and now guess what I want? I'm pretty sure I don't even like scones that much (I can't remember what they're like because I haven't had one in years). I don't remember details, but I know I've been influenced by books before. And TV, and the checkout lane in the grocery store, and...
*sigh* Perhaps I need to go live in a cave for awhile.
Moving on, I was looking for metabolism-boosting tricks this morning, and I think I needed the reminder for one of them--water. I know you're supposed to drink a lot of it, but I never really think of why. I forget that your metabolism needs it to run more efficiently. Baby steps--I'm going to focus harder on getting all my water in.
I was 193.8 this morning again. Same as yesterday. I guess I should be glad, because I went a little nuts again last night. I used TOM as an excuse. Not good.
I tend to eat as little as possible during the daytime and then save up 1000 calories for my dinner and night-time snacking. I'm never sure whether I should actually eat more during the day, or if doing so will make me just rebel and go over my calories at night. Anyone got any insight? I'm afraid to try it and see.
Well, off to face the day.

I have never taken as much water as recommended. I'm still working on that too.
Don't read Chocolat by Joanne Harris. It'll drive you crazy.
Yes, but you can use this to your advantage! Read biographies of people who lost and lived to tell the tale (Diet Girl, Pasta Queen).
When I fall off the wagon and need to motivate myself again, I also tend to read nutrition books about how eating vegetables and like healthy stuff will make me live long and prosper, while eating Bad Stuff will cause horrible things to happen to my body. This tends to convince my subconscious that vegetables are not evil after all :)
Great advice, thanks!
