I find that I naturally eat a little more some days and a little less on others, now that I've rediscovered my feelings of hunger and fullness. For someone who has recently recovered from an eating disorder, any kind of "tracking" beyond a basic food journal could be a dangerous trigger, though I like your philosophy of not counting calories and having a more general idea that you've eaten more or less than average. I find that overthinking anything isn't necessary, UNLESS a trend of weight loss or weight gain occurs. At that point, I'd go see an R.D. to help get me back on track in a healthy, non calorie counting, way. Very interesting article about the Squiggly Line Effect.

I often indulge on the weekends and I go back to my healthy routine the next day. I exercise 3 days a week for an hour each time (including weight training) and walk for about 45 minutes at least 2 times a week (and sometimes twice in the same day). I don't count calories, I try not to weigh myself more than once a month, because I become way too obsess with food and trying to lose weight that I tend to go the opposite way...overeating and I go down a very self destructive path. I concentrate on eating real, whole foods like you and I try to get plenty of exercise. If I lose weight, great, if I maintain my weight, good, as long as I don't gain any. I try to accept myself the way I am. :-) I think that’s what we can call normal eating. I often indulge on the weekends and I go back to my healthy routine the next day.

I have a question when you have a minute re- your switch from wordpress.com over to administering your own blog. Do you have to know code? Is it more time consuming? How to you control spam? I realize you are busy getting ready for your trip but if you can offer some tips to consider, I would appreciate it. Thanks and safe travels.
