Please feel free to use this thread to share tips you have on how to stay on plan or ask questions about how to stay on plan (without sharing details about food porn or binges). This doesn't have to just be a menu thread.

I find writing my food down every day to be really helpful...and doing it here can be a great way to be accountable.

Another great way to be on plan is to purchase a clothing item you really like in a size you want to be. Keep it in the closet and try it on every month or so, to check your progress. It's SO motivating when you can see that zipper is near closing! :
