Overnights at work are awful.

Is anyone else surfing the boards wishing for a fun conversation?

Let's start one!

What's your favorite food, did you have to cut it out, and how are you doing without it?

Mine was mountain dew and reese's. I cut them both out. At first it sucked. But everytime I step on the scale my cravings lessen.

    yes... nights on mfp are not nearly as fun as daytime is! but to answer the question, my favorites were diet coke and caseys pizza. i no longer drink ANY pop at all, and i allow myself to eat my pizza one day a month. i was also a chocoholic. now, i rely on my fiber one 90 cal bars to get me thru the day!

    Side note: at work we weren't supposed to have our phones because it was a 'restricted area and they didn't want us recording or taking pictures of it (meanwhile they invite National Geographic in to to a documentary on one of the aircraft). We also weren't supposed to have ipods, magazines, cards etc-basically anything used to pass time and help us stay awake. The started checking facebook to see what times people updated statuses or responded to stuff to see if they were on their phones at work. The only things we were technically allowed to have were study materials for work. That's just insane. I certainly hope things aren't this ridiculous at my next base.

    Anyway, I guess the one food I haven't eaten as much of is peanut butter. I love it so much and then I see that 190 calories and my heart sinks...but then I go and eat a twix or something equally high or higher in calories and with no nutritional value so I guess I need to get my priorities straight.

    See, look at all of us late-nighters that need company.


    Okay, subject change.


    What has been the hardest part of your lifestyle-change/diet/exercise/weight-loss program?

    COMPLEX CARBS are good for you! It's this simple ones you need to avoid! I made a clean pasta dish tonight...whole wheat pasta, broccoli, sauted onions and garlic and a little salt and pepper....throw in some chicken and top with a bit of low fat cheese...YUMMY!

    Oh, and my favorite food is dark chocolate! I can eat an entire bar but instead of binging on it I have 1 square every night:) Keeps me sane!
