I need a web cam mounted in my kitchen…. No, I am not serious, and yes, i am….. I do not eat around others the way i eat when i am alone. When somone can see me i do not graze. If i had a camera aimed at the kitchen and i had no way of knowing if someone was watching me, i would be less likely to go in there and wander around looking at food and less likely to go get something that i should not be getting. (It would also be an incentive to clean up after meals sooner.)
Of course, like Luke pointed out, he would not be able to wanter in there au natural to get his nightly glass of milk after his shower. We would both have to be careful about grossing out the viewing community. 🙂
I am not serious….. not about the camera. In the first place there is no place to mount it where it would only see the kitchen, and i have no desire to make any other part of my life public. In the second place, if I knew there was a camera in the kitchen, it would be easy to just stash my trash somewhere else. Making my kitchen public would not cure the problem.
But i do wish that I always ate in private the way i eat in public.
Well, you were saying in our phone conversation that you needed a goal, too.
I’ve been thinking about that goal more than I’ve been thinking about the camera 🙂
I know you’ve hit an irritatingly tenacious plateau. So weight goals might not be the thing to do, since they’ll just drive home the point that this is hard.
Well, it is hard. But you don’t want to tell yourself that.
The obvious alternative is a fitness goal. When my diet went all haywire (by permission) during the last few months, I tried to counteract it with a fitness goal. I’m halfway to said goal, and despite eating an alarming amount of bad foods I haven’t gained ~that~ much. Which was the point of the goal.
Anyway, that’s just to say the obvious, that fitness goals are a way to supplement and at times superceed diet or dietary goals.
Does this strike any chord with you? Or is it an idea you’ve had and tossed? If you want to chatter fitness goals, Saturday afternoon is a good time ..
