    Well that means I lost all of the weight from Xmas Eve through the New Years weekend. Now it’s time to start losing some real weight.

    Here are some of the things I do to try to prevent myself from overeating. Some of the things are pretty basic.

    I try to weigh and pre-log all my food. Sometimes it doesn't happen, but I know how much is too much, in most cases. If I know that we will be treating ourselves to dinner out, I will pre-log my breakfast and lunch, to see what kind of room I have in the evening. I will limit myself on servings if I know I don't have the exercise calories to have even more. That way I can still enjoy some, and maybe will have room for leftovers the next day. If it is not a night to indulge, if it doesn't fit in my calories, I don't need it. I am pretty strict with myself throughout the week.

    When I buy almonds (or whisps, chips, etc.) I will weigh them out to one serving portions, so I can limit myself to one portion. Sometimes, I will also buy the single-serving packs in order to cut down on prep time. I try to meal prep at least once a week(Sunday, if I have the time), and make enough meals with known calories to plan out my dinners for the week. I treat my fiances treats snacks as only mine. I do not have any unless I decide in advance that I will indulge in some of it. Otherwise, I do not take his snacks, and plan on having my own.

    When I bake cookies(or other indulging treats), I try to limit how many I have. If I am terribly ravenous, I will take some of what I make and freeze them, so that the next time I want some I can take the bag out and thaw a few to enjoy. I generally use the recipe builder, and figure out the portions and calorie amounts, and then see how they fit into my day.

    If I do end up over-eating on one day, I don't let it get to my head. The next day is a fresh start, and one day of over indulgence will not hinder my progress in the long run-I just have to treat it as a day of enjoyment, and get back to business.

    Also, I've found that I remain more full with veggies and protein. Some people find fats more filling in their diet, but I don't find that too terribly helpful for myself. My most filling meals are often chicken with a veggie such as cauliflower, broccoli or spinach.

    I don't follow IF, but tend to eat around the same schedule (up at 2, breakfast at 7ish, lunch at 10:30, dinner around 3). I make sure to drink water before eating, in case my "hunger" is just a signal that I am not actually hungry. I am still learning how to listen to my body's signals.

    Hopefully some of my babble helps :)

    **Getting a little frustrated here. Only thing I can think of his TOM should be here anytime. I know I have had some great past months and shouldn't let 2 very slow months disappoint me, but it's getting hard :s Happy Friday Y'all <3

    @mooreshelly09
    I'm sorry you're feeling frustrated. It is a slow process and I think that is why we need each other to help us stay motivated to keep moving forward. You're doing great. You didn't gain and that is awesome. Also, you had big walk yesterday, right? You may be holding onto water between that and TOM.

    Haha. Why the “?” ? Maybe it came across odd in text ...
    I am very happy I lost the holiday weight in two weeks. Now I take the momentum and get the 2020 pandemic weight off
