    Yup, Central TX (Bastrop) but work in Austin. You? Never even knew they had a green chili stew, sounds awesome! Oh yes, and I bought a bottle of the sauce today!

    League City. I Have a small stash of the carry out ones. If i need a bbq fix I go with the turkey, usually. Sometimes brisket high sodium but I'm usually quite low in sodium.

    Huh, I have family in Missouri City not far from you. Yes, well I am having a real problem keeping to the low sodium diet - boss brought sandwiches, chips, and cookies today, and even though I just had one sandwich and 2 cookies :( it kicked me over for the day by more than 300 mg. And I'm not even halfway through my day so I know I'm going to be even higher for the day. GRRRRRRR!!!!

    Mermaid princes Rach- I sometimes buy a bar of 90% chocolate, divide it up into serving sizes and hide most of it in the freezer. I keep one serving accessible. Having to really dig for more will sometimes make me think twice about what I am doing. And I savour each bite of the allocated piece

    @MermaidPrincessRach I cannot do it either... I know if I buy the chocolate I do not stick to the allotted portion.
    I did that Friday............ told myself 4 squares, and had the whole bar. then Kept away from real food for the rest of the day , which is probably the worst thing i could do.
    tldr: I cannot buy chocolate, I have to do it cold turkey... and (unfortunately) maybe you are like me.

    As predicted, bad food choices this weekend + Aunt Flo's visit this week = my first recorded gain in a challenge. I know it's temporary and it will come off soon enough but I am still disappointed.

    I found a snack from Craft called Trios. They have several different kinds, but the one I like has dried cherries, cheddar cheese, and dark chocolate. That helps with my chocolate craving for the day and is already portioned out for me so I don't have to worry about over doing it.

    Tuesday goals: I want to be able to stop eating between meals. I have such a hard time controllig myself lately. A bite of food here and there doesnt show on my diary but it shows on the scale. Despite 3 meals and snacking, I still feel hungry too. I try to consume a lot of protein but it depends on what is at work.

    Anyway, the leftover pizza from this weekend is gone so I have no excuse to start anew. And with 2 weeks off coming up, I am setting a goal of at least 1h walking everyday.

    Have you tried having 5 to 6 smaller meals instead of just three big ones?

    Thing is I cant eat whenever I want. Being at work for 14h I usually have breakfast around 8am, some kind of snack around 11.30, lunch around 1.30 and then the rest of the afternoon is pretty busy so if I am hungry I just grab whatever I can. Then I have dinner when I get home at 8.30.

    Thing is when I start snacking it is not uncommon for it to get out of control and the things most available here are cookies and cakes.

    Is it possible for you to pre-measure out snacks before you leave for work and take them with you in a lunch bag/cooler?

    Some snacky finger foods that you could eat without really worrying about "overeating" : grape tomatoes, celery sticks, slices of green or red peppers, broccoli florets, cauliflower, cucumber spears - I know a lot of people don't like these without "dipping" them in something - take some hummus pre-measured in a container...fat free ranch dressing...use sparingly...

    Other things that I like to munch on are chunks of melon. Strawberries are relatively low in calories.

    Take pre measured bags of pretzels or crackers - limit to one or two servings leave the rest at home - then you won't be able to eat the entire bag.

    Just about any challenge can be overcome with a little planning & thinking outside the box. :)
