I swear that my weight can be as much as 4 lbs up and down just around a single menstrual period.

I am aware that I haven't been eating as healthful of a diet as I should these past couple years. It's not that I don't know what a healthful diet is. I do (lean protein, veggies/fruit, reasonable amount of whole grains, and few refined sugars.) I just have some odd resistance to eating that way, lately. I can't put my finger on why.

Last week, I was even considering the idea of a nutritionist. I went to one in the past, when my weight was at its highest, and my blood work results were particularly bad. I'm over 20 lbs less now, then I was then (9 years ago), so I'm not even sure my GP would give me a referral. I need a referral, unlike with doctors, in order for my insurance to cover a nutritionist/dietitian. I did see one nutritionist who listed her fee as $45 to $50 something dollars. If I went only once per month, I could swing it, if he/she was really helping. Such a fee is not much more than a stupid co-pay would be, if insurance covered it. I need some accountability and motivational thrust. Hubby doesn't provide that well.

I'm not interested in WW. I don't like their points system. I'd rather focus on nutrition and a proper balance of fats, carbs, proteins, and sugars.
I do not know how you do it with all of the wonderful food creations which take place in your kitchen!

I don't do well with groups when it comes to weight loss. I have to make my decisions/set my goals and then just do it! Involving other people tends to distract me.
