Eating my own dog food

I was typing a comment on someone else’s blog and I realised that I’m not eating my own dog food. The byline of my blog is “one day at a time” and I’ve been totally ignoring it. From right now I’m going to focus on eating properly one day at a time.
To answer a few of the queries raised in my previous post:
My eating is not emotional. I’m fairly certain it’s not at least.
I’ve worked it out and I’m coming up a little short on the protein so I’ll be adding some more. I may also not be drinking enough water so I’ll try adding more.
And my body fat % is dropping quite nicely. My scale weight has slowed quite a bit but the body fat % has dropped too. I’ve got a fancy Tanita scale that tells me all sorts of stats and one of the interesting things is the maintenance calories that it reckons I need. Contrary to all my expectations that number has been going up! Apparently my scale thinks I’m a lot more muscley than I used to be now.
My scale also says I’m well into the normal range for body fat % now. It hasn’t pegged me as overweight for quite a few weeks now. Did I tell you I love my scale?

It is so hard to really go at this one day at a time isn’t it. I have the same challenge myself and constantly have to remind myself that one bad day does not make a bad week. Once I get that down maybe i will be able to figure out that one bad choice does not have to mean a bad day.
Keep it up your good work!

I love it when scales are being nice, and we can have love affairs with them!

One day at a time is really all we can do. You’ve got to live in the moment.
But, please, make sure you shake it up a bit — I don’t want to think of you eating Prescription Diet kibble day in and day out

Maybe I need one of those scales…although I personally like my broken scale that says I weigh 30 pounds less than I really do!

What an awesome feeling that must be, congrats! In our company (where we use the software we sell) we like to say “drink our own champagne” instead of “eat our own dog food” lol

Normal! How awesome! I wait for the day my scale doesn’t shout at me how fat I am.
One day at a time… if we can just remember to live it.

Glad your scale is working for you. My tanita is doing nice things for me as well. But, I don’t try and get on it too much. Don’t like the ups and downs!
