So, the yesterday was a pass for me, but I don't feel too badly about it. I was giving feedback on my student's personal statements and at the end of the day I realized I hadn't had lunch. Faced with a lot more calories to spend than usual, I decided to order from my favorite restaurant. I had a small plate of nachos as an appetizer and then ate only 2 of small tortilla fajitas. I was actually looking at the calories I had logged for the fajitas and realized if I ate all 4 it would be way over what I logged. And then I realized I was perfectly good with 2. I'm not up on the scale today, so I feel good about my choices. Well, except not working out. Sigh, progress not perfection 😂7

The two main reasons I consistently use MFP, since JAN2020, are the tracking/logging features and playing Acronym Game in the forums 😭
While I tend to eat whatever I want (note today's "pass day"), being aware of the caloric and macro impact keeps me accountable and generally helps me make better nutritional decisions in the long-term.

@MadisonMolly2017 - you’ll get there. I spent this last week making SCD chicken soup and other things I can handle. My freezer is now full. I’ve been falling off lately and decided last week that enough was enough and I needed to go back to basics. We shall see. I totally get your worry with a transplant about being out and about. Hang in there. Thinking if you.3

@Chinkiri - thank you. I’m hoping it will be safe for my daughter, her husband and my 2 little grandkids to fly in for the wedding but since the grandkids aren’t vaccinated, we shall see. Everyone has accepted it may not happen and although it will be sad, it will be for the best.2

I have to track because it's the only way to stay within my lower calorie limit. It's too easy to nickle and dime yourself with extra calories by adding a little fat (olive oil, cheese, etc). The bonus benefit of logging on MFP is that I can monitor macros when I feel the need. I expect to continue logging indefinitely because it keeps me on track whether losing or quasi maintaining like I am this month.3
