    @CamandJarvis Eating salad before it goes bad!! That’s my problem. DH seldom eats salad at home so how does 1 person eat the 3 heads of romaine that come in a package? I make wrapped “subs” and salads for my OMAD but it’s never enough!

    Oh absolutely! The only saving grace is that our fridge has a drawer that I can set temps real low. It doesn't quiiiiiiite freeze everything in there, but it keeps it very crispy cold. But it's a short drawer (think juuuuust barely tall enough to fit a carton of strawberries in, height wise) so I have to improvise my storage containers to fit all my produce in there. They'll keep for a bit longer, but not as long as I need to eat it all. I'm glad when the younger kiddos are here, stepdaughter looooves veggies, even more than I do. At least I waste less with her around because we'll snack on them together as well as add to lunches and dinners. Plus she always asks for veggies so she keeps me eating them! Wish she was here more than 3 months a year, I could use that subtle hint hint nudge nudge she gives about eating. (She's also a cross country and track runner. I can't keep up with that...)

    @enlightenme3 yes - the more veggie forward, the easier you'll probably find weight loss and, I've noticed that the more veggie forward, the less cravings.

    @fmfdfa2020 Yay on the no's !! NSF (No Sugar, No Flour)

    Thank you @SherryRueter . I saw a few posts back where you had gone 7 days NSF and called it "sugar sober," which is perfect. That's exactly how I feel - sugar sober. The cravings for sugar/flour control my daily life. I'm so glad that I'm past the first 6 days and the cravings are starting to subside, and I'm feeling somewhat normal. I'm definitely not one who can eat a little and stop. I wish the best in your NSF journey as well!

    @fmfdfa2020 & @SherryRueter After you have been sugar free for awhile, if you eat a piece of birthday cake you will get a hangover headache! I speak from experience! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

    @cory17 Thank you so much for your reply. Basically sticking to a lot of fruits and vegetables. New to the unprocessed foods so will be a learning experience what is EVOO? Thanks again.

    I was part of this challenge a while back, and was glad to see it's still around (thank you @quiltingjaine! <3 ) In June, I was diagnosed with a serious medical illness. I had surgery with great results! I stress-ate like there was no tomorrow, and didn't exercise at all. I'm back to just 6 pounds from my heaviest. I'm having a hard time getting back to my healthy ways. This forum helped me before so I'm back, not just for the accountability but because how kind and supportive everyone is to each other.

    Goal this round:
    Do NOT eat sugar or white flour. These are my downfall. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Start back rowing/walking/weights. Eat healthy. Drink 80oz water each day.

    01/21 - Start Weight: 180.2

    Round 212

    01/27 - 178.5 - I thought I would be up after over indulging for my 26th wedding anniversary <3 . It may catch up with me tomorrow. That's okay. What I'm proud of is that I still had no sugar/flour. I already don't eat hardly any processed foods, so to keep sugar in my life, it takes an effort from me to literally add it or to buy something sweet. I've had nothing sweet in my house for months except sugar. I had been adding way more than I want to admit to my hot tea that I would drink all day (I'm originally from the Georgia, where sweet tea is like syrup :/ ). That stopped 6 days ago! The first days are the hardest, and I'm so glad to be past them. I love drinking hot tea in the winter. I need to slowly learn to enjoy it without sugar.

    Have you tried Monkfruit sweetener? It natural, ZERO calorie and often touted as a better sweetener because of all its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It's definitely a little pricey but a little goes a long way. Good luck and Happy Friday!

    @quiltingjaine I ordered breakfast omelet which did provide lower carbs, but I did drink the orange juice that came with it. I came home and logged it all. Wow! The carbs in that juice!!!!! Otherwise, it wasn't that bad. Now I have to pay the piper with a very low carb dinner. My snack will be sugar free jello and 14 almonds (if I need them). Hopefully I will be able to see the dietician soon because (without going full blown Keto), I have no idea how many carbs I should be eating for my diabetes but also to promote weight loss. If you, (or anyone else) has any ideas I would love to hear it. My online research seems to just be sending me in circles.
