    To eat isn't the problem...but it's WHAT you eat that can go both ways .... so you are hungry. ok, eat.

    not a snack wrap from McDonalds...but almonds, apricots, apples.

    this isn't rocket surgery. ;)

    When your body is telling you it needs more fuel, what are the reasons why you deprive it?
    Could you eat a part of your lunch at 11 and the remainder at 1?

    That's exactly what I'm going to do.

    Also - From your pic, you don't have a lot of weight to lose (it's aesthetic at this point rather than for health reasons, am I correct?) yet from your ticker you still want to lose 10+ more. You and I have similar body types... I ate 2000 calories yesterday. Your picture was taken in a gym, I have to assume that you must be doing some kind of physical activity. 1200 calories might work for someone who has a lot to lose and isn't very active, or a thin model who doesn't have an ounce of muscle, but I have a strong feeling that you're fighting against yourself with the rules you've set for your body.

    Aesthetic and I want to tone. My upper thighs are much "healthier" than that pic makes them appear! The 1,200 number came from MFP when I signed up and put in my stats and goals. However, I feel like I should be working more with a 1,400 range. I keep it at 1,200 knowing I have 200 cal floating.

    I'm coming from a bagel and coffee with cream type of morning routine, so maybe I'm just being a little too extreme. I lost my first 15 lbs relatively quickly but now I'm plateu-ing so I need to make a change.
