i am having one of those I'm Impatient, Can We Please Fast Forward and See What Happens kind of days.
i want to be skinny now. (i also want to be grown up and sophisticated and cool and crafty and impeccably dressed and know all the right things to say instead of all the wrong things to say and find a boy that i actually like and have an organized house ala martha stewart and become a person who radiates glowy health because i eat well and exercise and be extremely well read and build my business empire and also make time for the thousands of other crafty/cooky/bakey/domesticky things that i want to be good at.)
this always happens to me on saturdays when i'm not working. not working=bad for meg. i am no good at relaxing.
and for some reason, the fast forward syndrome always turns into the stuff food in face syndrome. why?! why do all of these "iwishiwas" type thoughts make me want to eat instead of, oh, i don't know, get up and start accomplishing something?
the fast forward button syndrome must be conquered.
points (sigh): 0 exercise. ate 30.5, so hmm...i don't even know how many flex i have left, but i only have tomorrow left...
tomorrow=new day, right? well, that's what they tell me.

I can really relate to this post!
FFwd/rewind buttons = trouble. In my case it's not the actual goal that causes trouble, it's the discontent. "Live in the moment, enjoy your life now." How many times have I heard this phrase, but it's so, so, difficult to practice! And yet, it's really true! 20 years from now you might think these were the best years of your life and wonder why didn't you enjoy it more. :)
BTW It seems like you made some really insightful connections with your hunger this weekend (Friday night, too).
Don't worry Meg. Soon, we will have completed skinnification. And your empire will be fabulously successful. Then, we won't need a benefactor anymore. And we can go to Paris and take a cooking class and go shopping. And eat all of those fabulous 0 pt pastries.
soap box girl--yea, it's really hard for me to find a balance between living in the moment and being content with all of the good things...and not being complacent and enjoying them too much, if you know what i mean. sometimes i feel like with the weight loss thing, it's so hard to keep the motivation up while celebrating little victories. it's easy to get into the all/nothing mode. i'm either in deprivation mode or gorging mode. there must be a balance...somewhere!
bri--"completed skinnification"--yes, can't wait! maybe the paris thing should be our "grand reward" for getting skinny and maintaining. think how fun shopping would be there if we were skinny!!!
