    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. :)

    I guess I could but I literally spend only 8h/day at home, including sleep time. I barely have anythig in the fridge. Part of it is laziness I know. I just cant find the courage to do meal prep and a lot of grocery shopping on weekends.

    Karen, you should be fine with that ... weigh-in is Monday through Sunday of the week. It's nice if you can weigh in on the same day each week, but it'll all even out in the end if you don't.

    PS ... If I had weighed in yesterday instead of today I would lighter on the scale! :) And I have a hunch that I'll be lighter again in a couple of days than I was this morning. :#
