fashes poked me to post about the fact that I'm over 100lbs now regularlike, which I could've sworn I'd posted about but apparently it's one of those posts that I thought I did but didn't. But yes! More or less 100lbs now, and I'm shooting for getting to 102 lbs now at night, because the thing is my appetite is being...seriously flawed now so I can't accurately judge how much I've eaten in a day based on a subjective feeling of 'fullness'. Thus, using the scale as an objective arbitrator of 'enough'. On the upside too, is that I'm started feeling more 'hungry' lately, rather than 'not-nauseous' which, yay!

In other news, I think...I think I've figured out how to cross Devil Wears Prada with Live Free or Die Hard. WHICH I REFUSE TO DO UNTIL I FINISH THIS CURRENT FIC.

::sigh::

and runefallstar and karotsamused is talking me into Fifth Element fic, both slash and het. ::wrrrrry:: Ah Bruce Willis, you shall be the death of me.

Also, current fic is hitting 5k words. I...::boggles:: I don't know how that happened. I think my last record was 2k words, mebbe 2.5k

Wow.

Health=good, very good.
What's your favourite food?

[permetaform]

depends on the day really, I tend to gravitate towards fresh, sweet foods. I've been managing to keep down carbs through copious application of veggies. =)

Glad to hear about the health improvments!

I wonder if keeping a food diary might be useful so you can see whether you've eaten enough each day? There are even fancy online ones which will take your height and current weight and weight goal, and calculate how many calories you need to maintain your weight or gain or lose at a safe pace, calculates the calories from your food intake as you enter it each day and calories burned from exercise, and nag you if you're falling short. telophase has posted about using such an online application, but I can't find the post right now. I'm sure she'd be happy to answer if you are interested enough to ask her.

Live Free or Die Hard was much fun. Now I want to re-watch Fifth Element.

I tried keeping a food diary but inevitably I start lagging on it, partially because it would mean that it would be stuck to my hand 24/7. The best way I've found to get myself to eat is to snack and not to force myself to big meals, but that kinda means that I'm eating constantly. Hence, the scale.

With Fifth Element, I'm constantly pleased to find out how much it holds up. ::grins:: ditto with Die Hard.

[kintail.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not much with the food diary, either. It's been suggested I keep one because of my irritable bowel syndrome, and I managed for one week when I was seeing a naturopath regularly, but... blah! Not for me. I know it does help some people, though.

I've only seen Fifth Element once, and I don't think I've seen the previous three Die Hard movies at all. Must remedy this.

[permetaform]

I saw the first Die Hard movie only recently and I was just bowled over by how well it stood up to the test of time. It really is That Awesome. Like, I went in not expecting much and going, "Whoa. That just. It just. !!"

Also, it has Alan Rickman in it being a most marvelous villain.

The second one I heard was meh, but I haven't seen it yet. The third one was kinda brill and with Samuel L. Jackson. ^___^

[kintail.livejournal.com]

Ooo... Is it possible for Alan Rickman as a villain to not be marvelous?

"That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas."

[nekonexus.livejournal.com]

squee! ^_^ We can watch them, yus. The second one was meh in that thing about tricking the planes into crashing into the ground, but otherwise, yay McClane.

I... I has no DH icon. woe...

[permetaform]

::nods:: GLASS. and sooo afeared of heights!

[permetaform]

he is constitutionally incapable of being less than marvelous? ^_^

[kintail.livejournal.com]

Ah, that explains it. Thank you.

(Too bad he sometimes ends up in movies where he is the only marvelous -- sometimes even the only watchable - thing, like the above quoted Robin Hood: Prince of Theives.)

You might want to check out Mindless Eating by Brian Wansink who is a very entertaining experimental food psychologist). It talks about cues for eating (plate size, the fact that we're good at estimating volume but can't count, stuff like that) that might have some tips to make it easier to maintain the weight you want.
