2. Log everybite I eat - even though I went over my calories with popcorn, and eating out, which was not planned. We had a busy day working, so hubby suggested going to Longhorn! I did OK - ate 1/2 of my chicken breast, but calorie-wise, and carbs, over 
3. no sugar, low carbs
4. Read 1 positive thing
5. encourage 1 member
We were so busy yesterday with work, so hubby suggested we eat at Longhorn. I had the parmesan chic, and got brocolli instead of a baked potato, and only ate 1/2 of my chicken. But we ended up with popcorn in the evening, which still put me over. But - I logged every bite, and still feel I did OK.

6. And, finally, no alcohol!!
thanks for the chuckle..... I did a "whole 30" last january..... a whole 30 days without some things, and one of those things was alcohol. as a strategy, "they" came up with a "faux-tini" which is basically flavor and seltzer water over crushed ice. i'm sure you could google it.... the "whole 30" people don't allow artificial sweeteners, but my current "faux-tini's" include stevia. i believe the first one i tried used lemon as the flavor. anyhow, it's worth a try if you want "something" but no alcohol (and no buzz, lol) (just make sure it's seltzer and NOT tonic water)0 -

2 things...
I have really reduced my sugar intake over the past 2.5 yearss. I actually worked on controling my carbs for a year and a half before I started counting calories. I lost 30 pounds during that period.
It helped to really focus on how I felt when I had too much sugar. I was in the pre-diabetic stage and had definite symtoms. After a while I started to think of sugar as actually being like a poison to me and that shift of perspective made it easier to say no. Then I really started to feel good when I focused my food choices on proteins and healthy fats, so good that it got even easier to avoid all the treats that I love so much.
Now I do a good job of being very choosy when it comes to sugar. I have a little, but not too much. I haven't binged on carbs in a long time because I know how sick I will feel.
It does get easier, but it may take a while to really feel in control. I hope this helps you. I know how hard it is!
Also...regarding getting off the electronics by 9...it helps me to make my goal a positive thing rather than negative, whenever possible
For example... Have a cup of tea and be in pajamas by 9:15 (or whatever your bedtime habits are)
This also works with avoiding sugar...Focus on eating plenty of protein and fats with each meal. When you eat lots of protein and healthy fats, you won't have much room left for sweets in your calories.

Great advice - thanks so much for your examples! I really hate the way I feel when I eat sugar, even during the years when I wasn't trying to reform my eating habits. There are so many detrimental effects of sugar, it's amazing the brain can't just override the cravings. It really is a poison! Have you found any tasty, healthy alternatives to turn to instead of sweets? It's encouraging to know that at some point, it might not be such a battle.
Thanks for the encouragement!0 -
My diary is open. Feel free to snoop!
I like to have protien smoothies in the morning. The fruit in them makes them sweet for me.
For a treat at night I often have yogurt. Sometimes I add a tablespoon of chocolate chips or trail mix when my calories allow.
Apples and almond butter, bananas and peanut butter
Sometimes when we eat out I have a couple of bites of my husband's dessert.
On Thanksgiving I over did the desserts and regretted my decision. I didn't have any problem resisting the sweet leftovers.
You know, I really don't eat very much sweets at all anymore. Feeling good has become my priority!
I realy try to always have protein and carbs together.

Been a while since I've been on MFP, got tied up with life! Scouts with my son, church, the holidays and just being way way too busy!! I FINALLY hit onderland!!! I hit 198 at Drs office when I went in for bronchitis!!! Felt too crappy to do much of a happy dance but that was motivation baby!!!! Ok can't do water aerobics just yet, still coughing too much, but, I think I could manage some weights. So, my goals for Friday, 12/4/15 will be to do an hour of weights, do all my logging and spend an hour maybe 2 cleaning house!! Stay within my calories, get some rest!!!
Onderland is hugely motivating!!!!

Mixed day
Expressed the reasons I'm becoming healthier in the morning but didn't in the afternoon.
Didn't take a dose of reinforcement by visiting MFP in the afternoon
Worked out for 36 minutes in the morning but didn't work out in the afternoon
Made good choices through coming home after a long day. Fell prey to the couch and chips, wound up over my calorie budget

I am expressing gratitude for the progress I've made. Was with out of town co workers and faced the choice of walking up two high floors of stairs or taking the elevator on my own. Did the stairs, something I couldn't have done at the beginning of this year.

Good for you for continuing to whittle away at the pounds even when life gets crazy busy!
I am still amazed that I am under 200 and it's been a couple of months since I got there. That's a wave that you get to ride for a long time!0 -
Last February I restarted my WL journey and was successful until I visited family this past August. I fell off the wagon, tried hopping back on, but repeatedly fell off again and again!
I am tired of falling off and am ready to get back on so I can reach my final destination! I love the idea of taking things day by day, so I'll try to start with this and see what happens!
JFT 12/4/15
1. log ALL food
