Happy New Year 2024!
I lost 10 lbs. in 2023 with MFP and have kept it off. I am an active, younger retiree.
My goal this year is to get out of my comfort zone and continue to get closer to the lower weight suggestion for my height.
All the sweets are officially out of the house - letβs go!

Happy New Year! I'm starting 2024 above my maintenance range and am looking to get back in range in the next 4-8 weeks. I've put off doing some of the hard work (tracking, eating within calorie targets, consistent exercising) these last couple of months paired with a lot of random excuses (plantar fascitis, traveling, holidays...) which has resulted in the pounds coming back on. Even worse, my clothes are getting tight. I donated most of my "too big" clothes not too long ago and just want to feel comfortable again in the clothes I have. I know a few pounds doesn't sound like a lot, but I find that my body shape changes enough with those few pounds to make a difference between a size 8 and a size 10 pair of pants.
I wish us all success in our goals for the month and for 2024!!7 -

So I've been putting some thought into this chocolate gift from my youngest daughter..... I think I know what may have happened. Sometime in December she & I were out of town together and I ran into an Aldi's to pick up my dark chocolate. They have a brand called Moser Roth which comes in various amount of cocoa and cocao. I will buy it as high as a 90% content although this last time it was 70%. She asked me about it because of my diabetes and I told her that I find having a square at night helps to stave off my chocolate cravings and that the extra benefit is that it is an antioxident.
I have noticed that in all that chocolate she bought, most of it is dark chocolate. Of course, having a Lindt dark chocolate truffle is not the same as having a 70% or higher cocao piece, but I'm sure she does not understand that because I did not fully go into it or explain it to her. I'm sure she thought it would be something I would love and something I could really use.
What she doesn't know is that I don't eat a square EVERY NIGHT for 365 days. I eat it on occasion when it fits into my macros and when I have a particular craving for something sweet. This is why I like that brand. When you open the bar up, it actually consists of about 5 smaller separately wrapped little mini candy bars that contain 2 squares. It is easy to break it apart, keep the other half in the wrap and put the wrap back into the main bar for safekeeping. It keeps it fresher than just buying a big hunk of a bar. (I'll post a pic for clarification). Anyway, I don't think her gift was an attempt at being brutal. I just think she has misunderstood and so my intention first and foremost is to explain this to her (or the candy may never end).
My plan for the candy is to share with everyone in the family. A little to each family will not be too hurtful. I will ask them not to let her know because she is still quite fragile with all she is going through. Also, I know that she made a big financial leap here that she couldn't afford just to try to provide me something she thought would help. The others will understand and keep it under their hats. I am also going to share the candy with her as she love chocolate, although she is a tiny little person who picks at it and has such wonderful control that I just don't have yet. I will talk to her about my diabetes and explain that I don't eat it everyday. I will ask her to choose some to take home (a lot if possible), whatever is left after this, I will follow Tish's advice ( @tiabirdie56 ) and freeze the rest in my deep freeze that is in the garage since I actually can use some of it. However, I need to keep only the darkest of chocolate since that is where I have the most control. I am not CRAZY about dark cacao so the control is built-in. I know that this plan will not be the most popular with many of you, but I think it can protect my daughter's feelings, be a blessing to some of the other kids/grandkids and still help me to, especially since all my cacao has to be bought out-of-town. I absolutely will not pawn off too much to just one person to create problems for someone else. I will be careful and thoughtful.
Well that's my plan and I'll do my best to stick to it. I've worked too hard on my weight AND by glucose numbers so that will be my guiding force and light going forward. I've had many good ideas on a couple of different challenges and I thank you all for your input. By combining some of your ideas, I think it's a good plan. I will be having ANOTHER talk with my daughter, but this time I will explain things better to her and leave no room for questions. She is not a sabotaging kind of person, honestly. She is just a little thing that does not understand the challenges I face as an obese person (food control). Her heart was in the right place this time I do believe. As for the wine, I will have no problem controlling that. The Martini & Rossi Asti (sparkling wine) is one of my favorites. She bought little 4 packs of that which provides about 2 nice pour wineglasses each. That will last me a long time. She also bought one large bottle which I will not pop open until I have a social occasion or family gathering where it can be shared. Control with alcohol is not a problem for me.3 -

Happy New Year and may we all succeed in our weight loss goals! I love seeing all this fresh enthusiasm, letβs turn it into real and lasting results.
Thank you @enlightenme3 for setting up this challenge.
@Veeedot Hello, I think we must be related π₯
@deepwoodslady Iβm glad you took the time to figure out your daughterβs thinking and Iβm sure everything will make sense to both of you once you talk about it in more detail. Hopefully itβll all turn into a fun anecdote and everyone will be happy with the end result. Iβve been buying 100% dark chocolate lately, there is one brand I like particularly and while eating sugar-less chocolate took some getting used to, I actually prefer it now over the sweet stuff I used to eat. Since the brand I buy doesnβt come in individually wrapped servings, I break the whole thing into pieces as soon as I bring it home. I store them in a small screw-top jar to preserve freshness. Itβs all a learning process
To anyone who would like DAILY structure/support/accountability: check out the Ultimate Accountability Challenge
No exceptions. No excuses. π₯
π Discipline is self-love. π6
