bridgettedavis- my "go to" tricks are: 1. iced coffee, 2 splenda, little bit of skim (the skim just for colour)- i ballpark it around 50 cal for a grande at starbs. so i mean, iced coffee + the same combo at the fair= same thing. unsweetened iced tea (or iced tea with splenda) or a diet coke. more frequently i go for the iced coffee, or the diet coke. coffee fills you up. diet coke- the bubbles fill me up. fairs also have corn on the cob! there ARE healthy choices. if you really want something "BAD". candy apple, or a ice cream cone. those are the minimally "bad" foods. personally, im carbosaurus rex, so ...well you see where that's got me hahaha
carryonloosing- don't freak out. don't try to compensate. you're hungry? eat. eat at maintenance. the more you freak, and punish yourself the worse it will get

im back tracking 20 lbs because of this.
coolmom- i personally find that toast makes me ravenous. so does cereal. how about 2 hardboiled eggs and oatmeal? or 1 hardboiled egg and oatmeal? or eggs and yogurt or something?
nightly update: i saw 178.6 post studio tonight. do you like how i manage to lose 2 lbs of weight throughout the day? hahaha. i know it's totally just water and i will get it back pronto, but if i see anything below 177.6 tomorrow, i will scream, that's where i stopped updating my ticker!! hahah i did 2 workouts today. i actually bought a groupon for 29 bucks for a gym that's like, 2 major intersections away from my house. surprisingly, it's great! given my current uh, "gainful underemployment" i have lots of time!! lol BUT this weekend is going to be super hectic. going out with friends. to the bars tomorrow night, and going to a bachlorette on saturday night. i am pretty much socially obligated to drink

which means i'm eating REALLY clean, no extras, and as high volume/low caloric density as humanly possible hopefully this weekend. the bachlorette is also going to have "snacks". i am terrified. actually TERRIFIED.
