Going to Lose: My Weightloss Journey!

ok

Breakfast: 1/2 a banana (55 cal)

Lunch: about 3/4 a bowl of creamy turkey soup (220) and some sour dough bread (130)-lunch total 350. well, to be honest, i thought the soup was lower cal, before i bought it but oh well. at least i realized the cals before i ate the whole bowl. still trying to stay away from the late night snacking, but i’ll def have a good snack before the gym.

snack: 1 SBD snack bar (100) and some rice crips (80) and some curve cereal (60) -240

Dinner: 1 small chicken cesar salad 315

Snacks: 1 (100) calorie pack of cheetos, 1 pudding cup (60), 1 clementine (40) and 1 string cheese (60) -total 260

Total for the day: 1220

workout: 45 min elliptical, 30 min weights and abs, and a bit of walking and biking to get places.
I never intended to have such a small dinner, and snack so much afterwards, but voting here was crazy and I stood in line for over an hour, so I missed dinner and had to run to the cafe, and everything there is super fatty and fried etc. But I was able to find a to go cesar. so i took it. but i knew id still be hungry so i let tonight be a snacking night. still under my calories, which is good. hopefully back to normal meals etc tomorrow. though ive realized i do like having some calories saved so i can snack at night

hi all,

my biggest problem has been with snacking.  ive really been able to successfully portion  out my meals and pick the right foods at meal times, but im having a really hard time not snacking.  (especially at night)

like im able to have low cals during the day, but at night my willpower kind of collapses. this especialyl happens because at night im in my room and generally working on the comptuer, and for some reason my stomach (or head?) is dying to eat while i work. and for some reason my body (or head?) isnt satisfied with the portioned or pre-chosen snack that i picked.  and i cant just go to bed, cuz i have work to do.  ive tried the water and gum thing, and i love drinking water (i probably drink over 100 oz a day) but, once my head wants to snack on something, its hard to get it out of my thoughts.

what do you guys do?

thanks!
