Reset my RDI down almost 200 calories. :( (Based on reliable information that the lower RDI is more accurate for weight loss at the rate of 1 lb/wk). I loathe the sight of the little graph at the bottom of my food diary saying I'm at 89% of my RDI when I'm used to consuming easily close to a thousand calories more than that. It's really hard to look past the 'calorie budget' as a guide and not see it as some oppressive restriction. I feel like this is going to suck hard core and that I'll either wind up being discouraged or just be miserable ruminating about what I can't have instead of how I am getting closer to my goal. I need to kick this bad attitude. I think it's so easy to give into it because it seems like I have leagues to go. I'm going to try remembering some advice I saw in an article on mom makeovers. The fitness expert advised setting smaller goals to motivate oneself towards easier accomplishments and to gain momentum towards the larger/ overarching goals. At the current RDI set I should lose 1 pound a week. So, I am going to try sticking this thing out and being diligent. Hopefully next Sunday I'll be one pound lighter. *puts on my optimism face*
