Somehow I forgot to update this thread.
Okay, so please don't run me out on a rail. . .
I was consuming upwards of FOUR THOUSAND calories a DAY. Um, hello? And maintaining the same body weight. . .and the majority of my calories were coming from beverages! When I could have been eating 170 calories worth of food, I was swigging down a 12 ounce soda instead and whining about being hungry.
So, for a beginning, I put down soda. Not easy but tolerable, though I still miss it terribly. Also, still having 2 cups of coffee daily minus the sugar and powdered creamer that tasted like blah anyway.
Still can't overcome the snackish feeling at work and have to forcibly restrain myself from hitting the vending machine numerous times daily. Finding it easier the longer I go without.
Here's the rub. I'm still going over my 2200 some days, have to HAVE TO be stricter with myself.
<-------- See that join date over there? I've been reading this site for almost 10 YEARS!! I could have lost this weight back then, and had the last decade of my life so much more comfortable than it was.
So, a plan (everyone needs a plan, right?) for the next bit of tweaking. Bring lunch to work from home, and stop the eating out madness.
Thanks everyone!!
