In a zone - still might not be the right one!

Hello all!
Sorry for the break, but have been popping in & out, marvelling at all your progess!
Been off for a while, but find myself in a zone to start logging again & in a better place than was.
Also, back on bike a bit and enjoying walking again - only about 4,000 steps a day, but it is a start
Was feeling so low & tired & ill so I’ve set my (MFP) calories to lose 1/2 to a lb per week which gives me some wriggle room and those extra calories are helping to lessen the hunger and give me some energy!
Had a lovely two weeks holiday in Cornwall in camper van…ate too much, drank too much!
Have had to rejig my mindset to remember that it is not the end of the world if I go over, but I do find prolonged calorie counting / weighing triggered some bizzare eating habits and I don’t want to go back there, so I’m going to weigh myself less frequently and go on how my clothes fit and how much energy I have … will see how it goes… Hello all!

Hi, Janatki. Glad you are back! Thank goodness the world isn't going to end - but, boy, I know that weird feeling! So much pressure we put on ourselves.

Flippin' hamsters.
I would have hoped that overfeeding them for a week - like those poor foie gras geese - would knock them out maybe even kill the little beggars - but it doesn't work that way. Those hamsters just get more and more demanding and flaunt their damn-the-body-supporting-me attitude.
And I once quite liked hamsters. I thought they were cute with their little food pouches all packed full as can be every chance they got.
Now I better understand what I thought of as the "wayward" behaviour of Licorice. My sweet little feline friend from a few decades ago wasn't perverse or cruel. She was smart. Very smart.
(okay - maybe this isn't the best approach either, but right now I"ma feelin' like some hamster hunting is in order)2 -
Hamster free zone …is what we need! Not sure what would get them hamsters off our backs?! We’re stuck with ‘em I’m afraid! 🐹🐹3
