Terrific Tuesday, Everyone. Welcome Newbies! We're glad you're here.

This am the scale said -0.8. Yay! Despite eating a high calorie dinner last night that was definitely off plan. I've had so many days where my calories were very low (only 650 to 800). Thank God, this didn't have a negative effect. I'm back on track now.

Would like to know, what successful techniques have you used to prevent an overindulgence from happening? (I'm not talking about binge eating. My downfall is eating very little to nothing all day, then indulging in a high fat, high calorie Italian or Mexican dinner, including 2 glasses of red wine plus dessert sometimes.) Yes, I realize part of me likes this and it feels good/stress relief. My total calories yesterday added up to 1750. Not in the usual 800 to 1000 range for me.

Looking forward to some sound tips that I can use B4 I'm ravenous and then eat this type of restaurant dinner.

Thank you! - Nancy in Fort Worth, now Sunny TX

first and foremost 650-800cal is way too low. and there aren't really any successful techniques, sounds like you are doing a form of binge eating right there, you're just modifying it. kinda sounds like you want your cake and eat it too if you know what i mean. there are no good tips that anyone should recommend.

i personally eat the same thing 5 days a week because i like what i eat. HOWEVER, i may burn usually 600-1000 cal. a day and i am in the maintaining mode. just because i don't eat the calories i burn and i am at maybe 1430 cal a day requirement i COULD eat a lot more but i don't. i don't give myself carte blanche to do it all the time because i know i will burn it the next day. there will be a day (like this saturday) where i am going to go over my 1430 calories because i'm going to a party and yes i will drink and eat but i will log it and i am ok if i eat some of the calories that i will burn that day and then some.

on that same note i have decided when we go to vegas i EXPECT to gain maybe 5 lbs while i'm there and i will be ok with that because i am giving myself permission to do so. i STILL will log all my stuff to the best of my ability but i STILL will be working out every day while we're there too. again, 800-1000 cal. is too low in my book. i don't know what kind of exercise you're doing if any and how often it is but it's got to be a balance.

now i'm gonna go have my loaded nachos and a main tai or two.. (just kidding LOLOLOOLOL)

Thursday here and prepped Jamie Oliver beef stew, will go in oven at 1pm to cook SLOW for dinner. Food = 1460.
I decide on food at breakfast, prep and keep to it
Training: JJ's beach-body II, BH kettle-bell cardio, walk dog
Juice this afternoon is berry a'peeling for 212 cals. LOVE my NINJA juicer

I was on STATINS for 4 years until 2005 when doctor realised my muscles were being LYSED, I was a body builder. Lysed muscles and FAT ladies. I am on LIPIDIL a non statin and it suits me and genetic high cholesterol is OK with it

csofled: i am here for your amusement!!

barbiecat - there are things we have taught our bodies to do with time and like you and me we are good the way we eat. we rarely "go out to dinner" and i too avoid the bread, sauces and dressings.i used to drink ALOT and i mean ALOT. i just can't drink the way i used to, i don't drink that much anymore, sometimes i will go months without anything. it's not that important to me anymore. but i don't deny myself either. if i'm in the mood to drink, i will, but i know i will log it as part of my calorie count to, so i do choose wisely

@suerontur3 , what exactly would you prefer that people post? And if you were actually worried about offending, you wouldn't have written something offensive. Not sure what you think the rules should be for posting on a support thread... But your chastising people is pretty much the definition of non-supportive. Stop reading if it doesn't suit you, it's that simple.

I love reading the diary!

Lisa, well said.

At the risk of offending suerontur3 with my diary...

I'm so excited! I have been backsliding in the exercise department, so today I posted a note on Facebook saying I am looking for one or more ladies who want to walk for exercise, and lo and behold, someone answered. It turns out that someone I already know is interested. She showed her fiber art in my gallery over the holidays. So we are meeting tomorrow at 7:30 am at the rails to trails to start walking. It'll be fun. We have to do it early before it gets too hot and sunny.

Took my son to get groceries this afternoon. His funds for the month have run out. After putting the groceries in the back of the van, I was starting to close the hatch when DGD#2 decided to walk around and I hit her in the head. I felt horrible. Poor little thing.

Well, I don't want to ramble on, so I'll say good night. Sleep well.

my normal reaction to you suerontur3 would have been a bit more direct because that's my nature but i have made an effort (which i think i've done REALLY well) to watch my trucker mouth. i wasn't offended by someone speaking their mind HOWEVER, after reading a bunch of stuff, i wouldn't have said s#$%t and just bowed out of the room and left it at that. if this isn't your thing, you don't have to be part of the group, that's ok, no biggie
