Hunger- your house must be spotless by now! That being said good job
I actually ate really well on the first trip, party because I brought most of my food and found one of those Mongolian BBQ's for lunch so I could pick what went in the food.
This weeks trip is the real test, with hotel stay plus lots of eating out. What might help is all the exercise I will get walking around town.
Thank you! Hopefully it will be totally ready for guests by the time the holidays roll around.
It's fun being creative with ways to save calories, and the Mongolian BBQ idea is the perfect example. Lots of flavor and interest, but not as many calories as some other choices. Brilliant!

Thanks! Yes I have been sick for a while and just gave up on trying to keep low carb. My problem is that there is no in-between, I am low(ish) carb or complete free for all, gorging myself ... you're right at least I am aware of the problem.
October start weight: 132.6
October goal weight: 131.2 (below the lowest weight I have seen in 6+ years) = –1.4 pounds
REAL October goal weight: 129.8 = –2.8 stinkin' pounds
Oct 01 -- 132.6
Oct 02 -- 132.8
Oct 03 -- 132.6
Oct 04-10 siiiiiick and binging on bread, bagels etc I saw 136s on the scale...
Oct 11 -- 134.8
Oct 12 -- 133.8
Oct 13-17 -- Away, sick, no WIs
Oct 18 -- 135.6 Oct 19 -- 134.6 [+2 pounds from Oct 1]
Right direction at least
Meals and exercised planned...
So, just trying to be helpful - what would a middle ground look like for you? One that might be acceptable in the long run?

I would love to get to the point that I used to be: able to eat carby things in normal amounts without bingeing. With my tendency to gain weight in the last few years, and through trial-and-error, I know I can't eat a lot of carbs and maintain a decent weight.
The good news is that I am finally at a weight that I consider acceptable and that I did maintain around this weight a few years ago for ~1.5 years without any real effort beyond "be reasonable" about food choices, like normal portion sizes... Then the binge problems began again and my weight shot up 20+ pounds. It's a constant struggle for me to eat healthy - it's NOT a natural response for me, I have to think about it all the time ... I think the only thing that saves me from myself is constant planning and regular weighing (though my clothes pretty much give me the same info). I am expecting to have to do this to some degree forever.

I'm at a conference for 2 days - we'll see how that goes. I don't have much control over dinners so I'll just try to not overeat. For the rest of the time, I'll be OK and I'll try to walk as much as possible.
HungerWerks - thanks, that's a great thread BTW! And yeah, I'm snacking on berries while typing this, trying to avoid going out in the cold to exercise. Oh I'll go I'll go. I know my body really craves a good sweat right now.
Edit: Well, I did go out to exercise, properly dressed and fuelled, and had great time!

I was sick for two plus weeks and found out what working out once a week does. Hoping to get back.
Goal- 118 again would be nice
I'm still sick week four. The cough is getting better. I think my new moldy classroom at work has caused my asthma to return, hence the perpetual cold.
