Panic at the disco.
Okay, not at the disco. More like panic in my head. Here’s the situation: I really feel like I am adjusting well to this lifestyle I’ve adopted. My goal all along has been to make changes in both eating and activity that are SUSTAINABLE for life. And minus a bit of double-workout fever that might not always be practical during a busy life, I’ve been successful. I love the food I’m eating and I love the sports I’m into. But I do have one area where I still need work: I panic a bit (ok, ALOT) when I feel full. And I feel full and satisfied after pretty much every meal! That’s a lot of irrational panic and I can’t quite seem to quell it. After eating I will add up and then re-add (ad infinitum) the calories and look at my daily meal plan with great suspicion as if someone padded it with hidden food. It’s stupid. It’s ridiculous. It’s dysfunctional. But there it is. Like a big turd on the dining room table, it is impossible to ignore.
I don’t like this feeling. DO NOT LIKE! Food is not my enemy and I want to be able to relax and enjoy the feeling of satiation after a nice meal, for goodness sake! But I don’t seem to be there yet. I don’t even see my stop on the horizon and I’m ready to get off the panic bus NOW. I’m such a freak, right? *Sigh*
I’m that way right now with exercise, I’m afraid it’s becoming a compulsion. I don’t have any advice for you, just friendly support!

Gotta learn to trust yourself and your body.
You made a plan, you stuck to it, no need to obsess.
You didn’t mention that you felt uncomfortably full, just “full and satisfied” -
TRUST YOURSELF.
You are eating according to a plan and doing everything right.
FREAK? Oh my stars ‘n garters, No way! Why you’re as odd as the rest of us!
Ya can’t argue with the numbers. -43lbs If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! Get outta thee disco and Rock On!
Yeah, not so freakish. I’m the one that freaks out if I stray from plan and eat second serving of SALAD!! Whatever you are doing, it is working. Keep it up (must be the rutabega sacrifices!
)
Oh, and btw… I’m going to Ethos tomorrow!! YUM! I really want the seitan sandwhich, but it’s just bread on bread. AUGHH!!! I guess I’ll do the portabella sandwhich instead.
Hmmm…it’s understandable and to some extent right now normal during this phase. I count mine too few time cuz sometimes I feel I ate a lot and yet the calories seem low. I can say Trust youself and the feeling but I think it’s going to stay till you probably reach your goal and slowly get to trusting yourself…as you’ll see that you’re still losing
At least I think I know I’ll keep second guessing till I reach goal and be able to maintain. Then I can relax. So you’re not a freak 
BTW I love that movie and the songs!
