JILL: When I blow my diet on a given day, I'm tempted to just indulge myself completely and eat whatever I want. So the question is: does it matter beyond a certain point? If you have 1,000 extra calories or 2000? Will your weight reflect the incremetal excess or not? I just had two pieces of pizza, and now I feel like, what the hell, I might as well eat chocolate and drink wine because I'm so far over my calorie limit anyway. So does your weight gain reflect the amount you've eaten or just the fact that you've exceeded your daily calories?
JENICE: Heck, I ate more pizza than you. But you can bet I'll run it off tomrrow before breakfast. When I go over about 2,000 calories a day, it always catches up with me. So, for me, it matters.
THERESA: It's like a bank account. If you overspend $1000, does it make any difference if you overspend by another grand? Well, yeah, of course it does. I know I have days when I just simply overdo it calorie-wise, and then I know I have to make up the difference later. That's why it helps me to check the bathroom scale every morning. When I see that my weight is up a pound or two, it's never a mystery why. It's 'cause I've been eating too much, maybe for just a day, maybe for a few days straight. So I try to eat more sensibly (while usually increasing my exercise time) 'til I can get that number where I like it to be.
YVONNE W: I also check the scale everyday, even though the experts say you shouldn't. It's one of the ways I can control what I eat. When I eat too much on a given day I just say forget it and continue to eat. I went to New Orleans last month and tried to discipline myself, but after a while I just let myself get out of control. The problem is when I returned home I continued to eat until I gained 14 pounds.
Now I'm struggling with the problem of not wearing my favorite clothes (can't get in them). I have stepped up my exercise program, but I still continue to eat.
Finally yesterday I realized that I really have to cut back. So, I am once again monitoring my food intake. Except this weekend I'll be at a Fourth of July party in New York. Sooooo!!! The struggle continues.
KIMBERLY: The body is like an adding machine. It simply computes whatever we put in and subtracts our output. Dieting can lead to binge eating. Remember moderation is the key.
Laurie: This is my classic diet dilemma - I overeat a little (usually by having something sweet like cake or ice cream) and when I don't gain any weight the next day, I congratulate myself with more cake! That goes for maybe a week with no seeming effect, then suddenly my weight's up a few pounds. If I stop then, I can reverse the trend quickly, but if I'm not careful, suddenly it's 7 pounds.
I did that seesaw for years.
That's one reason I weigh myself every day now, because I want an early warning on that sneak-up weight gain. I should just judge it by how much I eat, but I need the numbers, too. Also, the discipline of eating the right amount even when I want more; otherwise, I get quickly back into an overeating habit.
I know when I go over my calorie intake, I tend to over due it for the remainder of the day. I am also not surprised when it's reflected on the scale, even the very next day. If I don't get back into the swing of things, it can become a real problem. Then comes the cycle of being angry with myself because I should have known better. It is definetly easier to put it on, than to keep it off.
Posted by: R.C. on July 1, 2004 06:54 AMim only 13 and when i over eat it makes me feel bad but not guliy it just slows me down so then the next day i push myself to eat haelthy foods the whole day like fruit and vegetables its kinda like im rebounding off of a bad day and it makes me feel good too!
Posted by: rachel on July 11, 2004 04:03 AMIf I were to go 1000 calories over my limit I certainly wouldn't eat another 1000. I think Theresa summed it up well enough. In one pound of fat, there is 3500 calories. To gain a pound, you eat 3500 more than you burn. To lose, you burn 3500. If you're on a moderate diet (about 1500 calories) and you go over by 1000 that's already 2500, another 1000 would be 3500. That is NOT a good habit to get into.
