Ppppt.
I feel like a newbie. I was plodding along quite well, happily eating my calories and my body had adjusted nicely. It was easy. I was in total control!
Then the weight loss stopped. So now I'm trying to drop the calories, largely by cutting out sweets.
It's hard! It's like starting all over again! I can't seem to get a "good" day under my belt! Now none of these days have been OFF plan at all...they've just been days like every other day of this past year.
But I can't seem to get ONE day without chocolate in some form or other. Previously I was allowing chocolate. I can't seem to get through even just one day within my new calorie range. It feels exactly like it did at the beginning. I am ravenous and childishly feeling like I'll never get to eat chocolate again, which is ridiculous considering I haven't actually denied myself chocolate yet!
Anyway...I know a few of you out there fighting the same thing right now. Here's a shout out to all the newbie-old-timers..
By the way, today so far has been good. But the trouble starts around 3:30...it's only 1:30. I'm already ravenous, which is not good! My plan is to attack the hunger with a bowl of veggies when I get home. NOT chocolate!
