    It's not practical to enter your recipes or you just don't want to take the time? I have all my recipes entered. I've been working on it and logging for almost 500 days. I now spend no more than 5 minutes a day logging my food and exercise. I don't have any plan to stop because it keeps me aware.

    Has anyone mentioned yet that most thin people aren't naturally thin and no one who is actually fit and toned got that way by accident? It's hard work, and 90% of the time those thin and fit people that may make it seem easy -from a distance- are fighting the same battle that you are every darn day. This should be something you take comfort in, don't separate yourself from someone because they are further into their weight loss or fitness journey than you are, they probably don't have any naturally amazing willpower or metabolism or genetic predisposition to a model physique, they just get up every day and keep working at it and they fall off the wagon too, but they climb back on that wagon.....brushing off the crumbs and peeling the sticky spoon off their bedspread....not that I've done that.....and they keep trying.

    For me it helps to eat a high protein meal at morning. Before i managed to eat nothing or almost nothing. Now with the high protein meal/product i have a saturated feeling and i'm not so hungry anymore and it also gives me more energy.
    If you have a hungry feeling you quickly grab to bad food and thats sometimes the reason why it goes wrong.

    This week I had two days of slightly less-than-orthodox eating (orthodoxy for me being what I described above). One day I ate a little extra at a department meeting at work (don't imagine any sort of serious overeating!!) and two days after that, husband and I went out for sushi and a coffee with a bit of cream on top...and bamm!! - two ponds gained this week,
    To gain 2 pounds, you'd have to consume an Extra 7,00 calories .
    You really don't seem the type that would consume 7k from 1 department meeting . and sushi. and cream.

    or maybe it's caused by water retention.
    or maybe it's caused by too much sodium.
    or maybe you haven't pooped enough.
    or maybe you haven't peed enough.
    or maybe you haven't drank enough water.
    or maybe you're being selective when you 'acknowledge the (temp) weight gain, ie after you've deviated from your original regimine/plan. and you feel guilty (for not staying restrained in your actions), therefore you focus on your punishment ( gaining weight).
    or maybe your weight just flexuates 2-5 pounds during the day, just like anyone else's.

    Nevermind.

    What I was going to say would be met with another reason why it won't work for you.

    Best of luck on your journey.

    BTW, it's a marathon, not a sprint.

    this.
