I'm still in serious craving mode, and it's amazing how thoughtlessly one can graze through 175 calories worth of candy. And Girl Scout cookies came out today. I'm trying to restrict myself to 4 thin mints a day (allegedly 1 serving) as my only sweet, but that didn't work that well today.

Good job on the stats, Bailey.

lizzard_h, I go through stretches of days where I'm not hungry at all. I used to worry about these. Was I getting enough calories? Enough nutrients? Would my metabolism slow? Was I becoming anorexic-minded? Well, nothing bad has ever come of it for me. I still tend to eat 1000-1200 calories even when I'm not that hungry. And, after a few days like this, I get hungry again. It's all counterbalanced by days I have intense cravings, or am just plain hungry. So now if I'm not that hungry I just don't eat that much, but try to make my choices particularly nutritious. As evidenced by an earlier mini-binge this week, I always get my appetite back eventually.

18.5 pts (no wonder I'm so hungry today!!)

Scuttle, I think seeing the scale get closer to 159 has gotten me so excited it's curbed my appetite. But I know that craving cycle is just around the corner for me so I'm just trying to take advantage of this moment. I love girl scout cookies but they're like crack-cocaine to me!! I can't stop until they're all gone. As bad as I wanted to I didn't order any this year. STAY AWAY FROM THAT CANDY DISH!!! Last time I had a candy bar I made a deal with myself -- I was only allowed to eat it if I would do an extra 45 minutes of exercise to burn some of it off. That way I ate it guilt-free and really pushed myself during my workout.

Lizzard: I have trouble eating enough points some days too. If it were often, I would worry - but for now I still have plenty of days that are just the opposite, so I don't worry too much!
