And my DH happens to work for Post Cereal. Sadly it has been discontinued... :( So if you can find it somewhere else, get it! So now I'm back to Frosted Shredded wheat, or regular with real strawberries. Hey PQ – I love this cereal too. And my DH happens to work for Post Cereal.

It does feel like there are a bunch of different issue intertwining. Being scared to eat carbs? Trying to run on not enough food? Dieting for years on end? I've lost about 23 pounds in the last 2.5 months, and I feel like I'm "so close" - 21% bodyfat and about 12 pounds from where I'd like to be - but the truth is that my body's tired of losing weight. I've been "working on" fitness and health for a long time and I dropped pounds a few years ago and then decided to add muscle. Well, some fat came with it, and then a recession and job stress, and those 23 pounds, so I haven't had that weight very long and it wasn't too bad to drop them. But I started running and surprised myself by realizing I ran 9 miles in a row, so I want to train for a marathon or a half. It seems logical to stop dieting for a month or so, especially if I'm going to be converting my walking to running, so that my body isn't on overload and has calories to build the new muscles and ligaments and whatever else it has to do. Again, I have no idea what you actually weigh or what your body looks like and skwigg is scary at 5'8" and a size 4, and she's 45-ish (see the link someone else posted). I don't think anyone wants to discourage you from being healthy or fit or even looking great, but do it in a way that allows you some happiness too. Being scared of oat bran? Never eating dessert? I do try to make desserts with splenda, so I'm not sure if you don't believe in artificial sweeteners? @victoria – Okay, then, wow.

I think you guys are right, I am obsessed with losing weight. You're all right: I'm not overweight, I'm not unhealthily fat, and I DO have this "ideal" in my head that I'm trying to attain that may just not be reasonable for a woman my age! It's funny how I didn't see this on my own, but y'all are right. I think about food, exercise, and weight ALL THE TIME. I just came back from a two hour run. I had nothing to eat beforehand, and plan to eat not very much for the rest of the day . . . So, uh, yeah, maybe I do have a problem. I'm 43, definitely NOT your anorexic teen, and I don't have a distorted body image -- but my husband is super-fit, and I have this idea that he'll love me more if I'm as fit as he is. And, in fact, he DOES like me better when I'm skinny & fit: he just commented that his marital satisfaction has improved dramatically since I made getting in shape a priority. I think obsessing about food, calories, and exercise is easier than addressing some other problems in my life. @Anna , and everyone else who repleid to my comment:
