Okay, reset time.

I was doing really well for awhile and then over the last few weeks I've just been really lazy because of school. Finals are next week and I have not been tracking. I'm still eating pretty much as I did before but I've definitely been making some bad snack decisions. So I'm starting again. I don't want all this work to go to waste. Just needing a little push right now to get me through the next week.

Also, it may help not to label foods as good or bad. There's no such thing as good/bad food, only bad eating habits. As long as it fits into your daily calorie goal, have at it!

You can do it! :drinker: It's OK to go on maintenance for a while when you have a rough patch. (Just try not to undo your progress by going over maintenance.) You can always go back to a deficit when you're ready and you won't have backtracked. You just slowed down for a bit. Good luck with finals!

Thanks Grace, I'll look at those. And you're right, I just don't want to fall back into old habits.

Thanks Jenilla! That's what I keep trying to remind myself. I didn't gain. I didn't gain. I didn't gain.

I didn't gain sounds good! I think you have this!
