    Trying some new things.. I wrote down what I call the Paper game with task to do around the house and when I am just sitting there with not much to so at work( work from home) I pull a piece of paper with a task. It gets me up and moving and stops me from constantly munching... also I have ride Bike for 10 minutes on a slip and work arms. and core work out so I am getting a little more activity.. I am also going to try to pack my lunch and breakfast like I was going to an office so I stay out of the kitchen a bit so I am not munching then also. Fingers crossed this helps.. would love to be about 199.9 by the end of this month. It is doable.

    @plummerbecky1 That sounds like an interesting game, and it seems to be working for you! Perhaps I should give it a try....

    Good loss & great plans for more movement & less time in the kitchen! Smart! 😎👏🏻

    I'm still dealing with my asthma cough from covid so I haven't started to exercise. I have a greater appreciation for my lungs and look forward to not coughing. I will definitely start walking as soon as my asthma cough goes away so I can make my lungs strong again.

    Every time I stumble, I fall headlong into a very deep rabbit hole. My perfectionist mindset, not helpful. I am killing myself slowly by the amount of food I am eating. It is an avoidance tactic. I don't shower everyday, and I rarely leave the house. I really do need professional help, but I am a smart girl, so I feel like I should be able to figure this one out. I need to start journaling, connecting the dots. I am looking at three empty journals sitting right beside me.

    Wednesday Weigh-In: 206.8

    Dear @HASWLRS ❤️ I struggle with many of these things. I also consider myself to be intelligent. But it’s very difficult to help ourselves without consistent support. Have you heard of Dr. Joan Ifland? She is a very helpful resource & literally wrote the book on Food Addiction. She also runs a program called Addiction Reset Community (ARC). She has many free resources and has conducted many interviews that are available on YouTube & Facebook. She also has two Facebook groups that I belong to. I learn so much from her explanations of how the brain works and some of the reasons we continue to overeat the foods that do not nourish us. This is her website: https://www.drjoanifland.com/
    I hope you don’t mind my sharing what’s helped me along the way. I am not there yet, but I am healing. I wish you peace 🙏🏻💕

    Been feeling a bit off the past couple of days. I’m not sleeping very well, and I think my body is still adjusting to a vastly reduced amount of sugar. I see my endocrinologist tomorrow morning. Hoping for no surprises.

    @Tomsgal1985 Please do share! That's the whole purpose of this group, to support each other and to share what has worked for us in the hopes that someone else will benefit. I have never heard of her so thank you for the information.

    A two-day conference for work made for much sitting. My butt is numb. I tried to keep my calories to a minimum so that I didn't go TOO far over, will see if I succeeded.

    @HASWLRS It's amazing how we know what to do, and can give fantastic advice and guidance to others, but following it ourselves can be almost impossible. Don't stumble alone, give a yell. One of us will be here to help talk you off the ledge. <3

    You’re most welcome! I would not want to sound like a “know it all,” especially at this weight 🥹 I’m also reading a book called The Fatburn Fix by Dr. Cate Shanahan that I am finding very interesting.

    I moved one of my gym days from Wednesday to yesterday. I usually retain a bit of water the day after I lift so I'm not too surprised. Hopefully, next week reflects my efforts.
