Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a good weekend!

Went to the state fair today, and was pretty proud of myself for keeping under my calories with all the tempting foods around.

large coffee w/ 3 tbsp Coffee Mate cinnamon bun creamer- 105

11:30am (750)

1 fried Oreo (had to try it)- 150
1 bite pepperoni pizza and cinnamon roll- 100
H2O- 0

4:30pm (160)
1 oz baby carrots- 10
2 tbsp chipotle hummus- 70
1 string cheese- 80
H2O- 0

Lean Cuisine chicken Alfredo w/ broccoli- 300
1 small piece ciabatta cheese bread- 160

I'm having hunger issues lately. 3 hours is sooo long to go without food (which is so weird since before my new lifestyle, just over a year ago, I used to eat twice a day; breakfast at 6AM and dinner at 8PM with maybeee a snack around 3PM. Now I can't go a couple of hours without eating!)

I had this issue a few months ago and it went away after a few days. Usually it comes after a few days of overeating/eating the wrong foods (ahem, too much baking of muffins and banana breads etc) good to know, though! Anyway, gotta stay strong
