Hi Sophie,

Self deception is a given. Don't beat yourself up
about it. Just be alert, and remember who to suspect
if things aren't working :-).

I don't think skipping meals is a good idea. Even if
it works out every now and then, it's bad for habit
formation. Pace yourself, not just in body but also in
mind.

I think it's hilarious (but great!) that mcdonalds is
given away pedometers with their happy meals. See?
They don't want to make you fat, they just want to
make money. I may just have to head over there
tomorrow and check this out. Since I walk pretty much
the same route every weekday, I'll only measure once,
so I don't care if the pedometer isn't particularly
high end.
