Haven't posted in a couple of days. Things are going well. Got my first 4 point day (challenge wise) since I don't know when. That's all for tonight. ZZZZZZ
Welcome back, Jilly! Glad you can claim the weekend as a victory.
Claire: I need some of your fruit/veg cravings instead of the meat and cheese ones I have.
I ate too much today (and had too little water), and I can feel it. I was doing fine until this evening when I got a real bout of the munchies. Everything I've listed under snacks was eaten after 20:00! I don't know what was wrong--I just couldn't feel satisfied. I've been skipping my morning and afternoon snacks lately, and I'm wondering if that is leading to over-indulgence at night.

Have to tell ya, I am generally eating less (not very hungry) and still craving the veggies and fruit........And I don't understand why.....ah well, no complaints!
Again, I did fine until evening struck. Tonight it was a bottle of wine that was my downfall as far as sticking to my kcal limit. I really need to give my head a shake. Why am I doing this?

I've been in a funk the last few days.
I think because things have been going really well, what with a spiffy new car, DH's part time job and he starts his final semester of school next week, I have a new second job and my exercise and eating habits are going strongly and consistantly in a healthy direction and my weight, and clothing size, are both doing down! But, I've been looking around and thinking to myself lately, "OK, what's going to happen and put a halt to all the good stuff that is going on in my life?!?". I feel like we are *finally* getting our sh-t together after the last pretty harsh 7 years and I'm worried we're going to do something stupid to negate all the hard work we've put in and send us back to square one. It's my negative dialog causin' me trouble. I just need to get that new dialog going and keep us steered in the right direction but I'm strugglin!!!
Anyway, been stressin' the last few days, and I've been letting it affect my eating in a big way. Craving sugary and chocolatey stuff, trying to keep the damage down by making homemade low-fat stuff to munch on, not working to well though...
