Thanks! I think I just run out of willpower by the end of the day, my kids have run out of goodness and are screaming, and I end up using dinner as a comfort food opportunity. I need to find another way to unwind/reward myself for the day but haven't come across any good ideas to date.

⬆️agreed!!!!
I recently started eating a high protein snack around 3pm and this has really helped with controlling my appetite. This has also helped me control my portion size at dinner.
Welcome to the JFT thread!!!!

I'm back! Just caught up on this thread, so glad to "see" everyone again! And welcome newbies!
Haven't logged anything since Mon. midday, yet my MFP streak keeps adding days. Maybe b/c I leave the MFP app open on my new phone, it keeps counting?
Recap M 7/31 before I leave town for Girls Day Out
1) Walked dog 3.43 miles on another gorgeous a.m. / little sticky....I could get used to these sunny days, but know it won't last
2) Update weekly weigh-in log = Done!
3) Update monthly goals / set Aug goals = Done!
4) Balance checkbooks...behind again, such a pain with weekly payday & transfers = Done, but forgot to write check to Dad, now I have to mail him check 
5) Wash dishes = Nope More important to have lunch & play quick game of Rummikub on patio w/ hubby before we both head off in different directions. 
6) Pack for GDO / remember walking shoes & clothes / planning to walk w/ sister & aunt W a.m. = Ready!
7) Big hug & kiss hubby goodbye when he leaves for work / won't see him until Th =
Tues. had great GDO. We changed original plans T a.m. and ended up in touristy town 50 miles away with lots of shops and lots to eat. We can't do as much as we used to. Mom (80yo) and aunt (70) have had health issues that have slowed them both down, but I, sister and SIL just eased things up a bit and we all had a great day! And the weather cooperated.
On T & W, I didn't log a thing on MFP. Indulged somewhat, plus ate Dad's cooking / baking (so good!).
Sister and I walked to county park & back W a.m. = total 6 miles. Also learned MapMyWalk app doesn't track when phone is in battery-save mode. Oh well, if the app didn't track did I really walk? 
My Fitbit counted the steps at least.
Th a.m. daily w-i not so great & rainy day = no dog walk before work, so....
JFT R 8/3

Do NOT crumble now!
Like you said, "it's one of those days" if you can kick today's @ss in one way then don't let it win on the kitchen!
Because tomorrow will start in one of two ways!
- You'll wake up miffed because you're back to day one.
- You'll wake up with a great sense of achievement because even on your bad day you managed to keep the kitchen closed! It will prove your determination.
Now, which one is it going to be!!3 -

you're goddamn right I am!! And no one messes with a pregnant lady hah 4 -

Ah kids
Feeling your pain! How old?
I have a 3yo, a 1yo and pregnant again!
I would make a strict plan for your dinner (ask @joan6630 - she has set snacks after her dinner)
Once my kids are in bed, I just sit. In all their mess and have a nice cuppa tea.
And I sit in silence, no one bugging me. And I practice a bit of mindfulness to just calm me down and relax from the day! Then I get up and do the big tidy up!
Just 10 mins to yourself. With your own thoughts.
You could probably spend that time thinking about what you'd like to eat, and then rationalise it with "well I could eat that but it would not help me in my weight loss goals. Why not had X instead"
I mindlessly eat. All the time. I eat without thinking, if I think about it, I make better choices every time!
Even get a pair of headphones and listen to some music to unwind
Sometimes I put headphones in earlier just so I don't have to listen to "mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy!" 3 -

Thurs, Aug 3
1. log all food
2. drink water
3. eat only planned snacks and meals. CLOSE the kitchen the rest of the time. Going on DAY NINE! Did it!! This was a hard day - everything that could go wrong did. I didn't get to the gym this morning, so I was grumpy all day! But..... I managed to eat what I had planned, drank a lot of water, went to a zumba class tonite. Got home, made some popcorn for hubby and I, and now I'm going to grab my water, and sew until bedtime! One more day down .....
4. work more on file cabinets to organize Didn't even have a chance to work on one cabinet. One of those day.s
5. go to the gym in the morning So tired, and decided not to go. But plan on going tomorrow for sure!!
6. lay out gym clothes for friday morning Already put them in the bathroom, so no excuse tomorrow morning!
JFT, Friday, Aug 4
1. Log all food
2. concentrate on water
3. eat only planned meals and snacks. The kitchen is locked with a key the rest of the time -- so don't even enter the kitchen unless its meal time, or time for my snack. Going on DAY TEN!!!!!!! Hoping I can make it to Day 30!

5. laundry

Well, some got done and some did not. Went to work so meatloaf did not get cooked, no swimming. It is 10 pm and a tv dinner awaits me. I was nice to the install men but they did not get the dishwasher done-turns out I have granite counters (yes, I told you) so $60 more dollars and reschedule installation. I did do the family tree and I have stayed under for calories but water drinking is weak. FIBER was too high. Sigh, tomorrow is another day. I said I would work then, too. My boss/store has been good to me but...this lady that calls out needs to get to work.
For Friday,
1. Observe calories and go swimming early.
2. Will not hassle the fiber goal. Refuse to think fiber.
3. Fold laundry and try the dishwasher which should work but is not attached to anything.
4. Bake meatloaf, eat some before work.
5. Work 3-81
