Hi Doreen,

Maybe I've been too influenced by some programs before this one that approached overweight as a behavioral problem. They instead focused on paying attention on whether you are actually hungry or full. But they were wrong about a number of other things too.

Still I dread the thought of pulling out that little scale that measures quarter ounces and measuring every teaspon of oil that goes into the pan instead of just pouring some in. It just all reminds me of those bad old days in Weight Watchers. Maybe you're right that I'm associating measuring and counting with restricting. Something to think about.

I'm fascinated by your report that you began losing weight again by eating more. I guess the old model of thinking is pretty deeply engrained.
