I know, right?!? Temptation lurks everywhere, no matter if it's a special occasion or a humdrum day. I have to remind myself that everything is not about the food or beverage I have.Side note: I went to log breakfast and I realized that the 1/4 cup of granola that I decided to put on my chia seed pudding has an INSANE amount of calories and carbs for a tiny bit of food
Anyone else been punched in the gut when logging a food???
Yes! When I treated myself to a chocolate shake out with hubby, I logged afterward and found out a small was over half my total calories for the day! Ack!"Pre-Log"
Now that's something I need to try.
Till now I have been logging only after I have had something.
Does Pre-logging help you control your intake better than logging after the meal?
Thank you for your thoughts & encouragement.
Pre-logging really helps me keep to my portion sizes. I don't always pre-log, but when I know my meal plan ahead, it keeps me mindful if I want extra or to stray. Good luck!

1) Keep net calories w/i 100 of green = Yes!

Me too! I was really hungry while practicing at a church directly across the street from a Dunkin Donuts---I thought a muffin might be a healthier choice than a donut--586 calories--that's lunch right there. It was good. though--LOL. Next time, I'll pack some fruit and veggies.

Please can I join in?!?!
I've loved reading this thread3 -
Thank you so much for those kind words.
Please wish your son HAPPY LANDINGS on my behalf.
But the feeling of pride that you mention is missing.
I feel so disappointed & ashamed for having lost control over my life.
I know that I should feel good about the positive steps I have taken, but the magnitude of negativity surrounding overshadows it all.
But like you said, it taking one day at a time.
For now my aim is to be able to log my meals every day & maintain it below my set calorie mark.
Once again thank you for your kind words & welcoming me to your lives.
Glad to have you join us! You should be very proud of the positive steps you have taken. Sometimes the hardest thing is to get back up, and you have done that. I know you can do this also, and get back the life you had. So welcome!
Thanks for the wishes for my son on happy landings. As I mom, I worry everytime he flies, but I have learned that things can happen anywhere, and a person can't stop their life. He has wanted to fly since he was 11 years old (used to fly RC planes). He flies for his job, so he has quite a few hours in. Even took me up in his plane!2 -

1. log all food
2. 8+ cups of water

5. eat only when sitting, and eat slowly
6. plan tomorrow's dinner tonite, so I know what I have for dinner. Planned todays dinner last nite -- goingto make some shrimp stir fry.

I am finding just planning "dinner" the nite before helps me!
7. drink water
8. concentrate on distinguishing between hunger, cravings, desire This really made me stop and think all day when I wanted to eat - a real eye-opener

Beck Diet Solution Task for Day 11:
Practice Hunger tolerance. She says to skip one meal, to prove to yourself that it is OK to be hungry - that you will survive - and that the hunger does go away.
I am not going to do this today, as we are so busy. But may try this over the weekend. But .... I feel so much more in control over my eating just by reading the advantage response cards, and trying to be more aware of what is hunger, cravings, or desire.
And .... I am finally out of the 200's!! Weight this morning was 199.6!! My goal weight is 178 (I am very tall, 5'11"), so that is about 22 more pounds, and since the 1st of the year I have lost almost 18. So ... I am halfway there -- no stopping me now! By Christmas I hope to be at goal weight or close to it .... but taking this one day at a time!3 -
Went out last night with a mom's group & felt completely in control (ordering healthy choice & beverage) which is so rare for me in the past. Maybe it was the fact that I had some protein an hour beforehand. Had I binged, like I have in the past, I would've made unhealthy choices all day today & beat myself up. Instead, i savoured every bite. Ate slowly & paid attention to how full I felt.
Challenge yourself!
Great job!! I am also trying to preplann at least dinner, and I am finding it really is helping me. Isn't it wonderful to feel in control! And ... to savour every bite!1 -

Hello to all.
Yesterday's results (25/05/17):
1. I logged all my meals.
2. I had 1.6 liters of water (Target was 2 liters).
3. I went over my calorie target (1500 cal) by 79 cal.
Result: I lost 0.1kg.
Not a bad start I guess.
The reason for me going over my calorie count was a "Cookie cake" I had as a snack at work.
Additionally I need to increase my water intake at work.
Just for today (26/05/17):
1. Log all my meals.
2. Drink 2 liters of water, at least 1 litre during the office hours.
3. Stay within my calorie count.
I'm going for a movie tonight & I tend to hog a lot during the movie.
So its gonna be all about management of calories today.
Have a great day guys !!!!2 -
Not a great day yesterday, I had a bad day at work and ended up comfort eating Need to focus on my reaction to stress rather than just reaching for the food/booze!
I've watched a couple of programmes this week about stress this week. Apparently it's very normal to crave sweet and fatty foods during stress, we all do. But although they make us feel better temporarily, our blood sugar dips shortly afterwards and then we feel worse.
A nutritionist on the show recommended nuts and seeds instead, so I think I'll get some for my drawer at work - though I will have to be careful not to have too many of them as although they are healthy they are super calorific!
Overall I did very badly on my commitments -
- Log everything I eat
- No snacks outside meals
- No alcohol to help fight cold
- Be in the green!
- Bed at 10.30, light off at 11
- 30+ minute lunch break But I spent it moaning to my colleagues about a work stressor and this did not actually help! Maybe moaning just reinforces negativity...
- Walk at lunch
- Meditate
- Listen to music to boost mood and productivity
- Focus on key tasks rather than getting distracted by non-urgent emails
I'm off to Sweden for a long weekend now so I'm just going to make simple commitments now for the whole weekend:
- Log everything I eat
- Before I eat, think am I hungry or is it greed / emotion? (Thanks @joan6630 !)
- Apply the 80:20 rule - 80% healthy choices, 20% indulgence)
Hopefully I won't come back too much heavier on Monday... have a lovely weekend everyone!3 -

Friday will not be my Free day. I will not spend the rest of next week trying to recovering from eating off plan/mindlessly for 3-4 days. I'm preplanning our meals & activity for the long weekend. My goal is to hit the gym each day!
Pretracked most meals/snacks.
Adjusted calories to around 1,600. Yes-this will be a challenge.
Going to listen to Half Size Me
Weight lifting-going to ask a FB female lifter I follow for some advice on dealing with muscle soreness. Maybe I'm not stretching enough. I tend to bolt out of the gym when I'm done. Poss cash in my gift certificate for a massage.
20 min walk with dog in am with DH.
Aiming for 150g of protein. Still getting closer. Stomach was a little off for about 4 days but totally fine now. Adjusting to increase.
20-30 min nap/count 20 breaths slow & deep.
Drink 8 cups of water.
Preplan meals with 1,600 cals.
NSV-got into a pair of jeans I couldn't fit at Easter!
If I fail to plan, I plan to fail.

Today's commitments:
1. Log everything that I eat (Probably spend the whole day logging only)
2. Drink 2 liters of water (All I have to do is fill all the beer bottles with water)
3. Make a genuine effort to stay within my calorie limit for the day.
To be brutally honest, these 3 things look like a humongous task.
But I have to start somewhere.
So here we go !!!!!!
The good news is logging really does get easier. I pre-log my day as much as possible, but I add every little variation. If I have not planned my day I whip out my phone and log or snap UPC codes and log. It becomes habit over time.
"Pre-Log"
Now that's something I need to try.
Till now I have been logging only after I have had something.
Does Pre-logging help you control your intake better than logging after the meal?
Thank you for your thoughts & encouragement.
For me, prelogging my day (and preplanning my menu) increases my success. If I have gone to the effort of packing my food and bringing it to work I will eat that and not go out for something else. I focus on healthier foods when I plan. When I pre log I usually make my goals for fruit and vegetable. I can bulk up my meals, feel fuller and not want to eat something out of the machine. A lot of the time I like to munch all day so I can bring lots of small items – salad, nuts, a sandwich, soup, boiled eggs, cut veggies, mixed fruits – eat a few bites and set it aside to eat more later. We used to call that grazing.
When I don’t, like the last two weeks, I’m just not as successful.
Plus, it’s better for the budget overall. I only buy what I am going to eat and I don’t throw food away.
3 -
I'm in a foul mood this week and really not being successful. I don't know which one is fueling the other. My DH has left for a camping weekend with the boys and that is probably for the best. I am not just not "feeling it," but I still need to set goals and try to make some movement.

Finally Back! The last few days at work have been insane! Tuesday, I had a discrepancy of 1200 in my teller drawer and our automatic teller vault thing jammed like 4 times while we were trying to feed it money and we thought for sure that it was in there but after two hours of extra work, it wasnt. So Wednesday we had an auditor in who went through every piece of my work from Tuesday and couldnt find it either and that took 3 hrs of my 5 hr shift. And then yesterday, my managers manager spent about an hour trying to figure it out. It has just been a total nightmare! But everyone is talking to me like it's a learning experience. So I dont think I am going to lose my job. And I have gotten loads and loads of advice and a whole bunch of good practices and tips to use from now on. So I think I'll be okay. But because of all of this, my healthy eating, logging food and posting has taken a back seat. But now I'm back!
So here are my goals for the day!
1. Log all food and stay in the green
2. Keep my drawer balanced at work
3. Make a shopping list for tonight/tomorrow
4. Make a yummy and delicious dinner when I get home from work
5. Spend some time on the couch with the DH
6. Lights off and tablet away by 10:30pm
So I think those are achievable goals for today. Though, depending on my mood when I get home, we may just have left overs for dinner tonight since I wont get home until about 8pm.
Well I hope everyone has a great day! I'm definitely going to try!2 -
THurs
1. log all food Yes .... even that margarita and chips I had last nite
2. 8+ cups of water
3. lay out gym clothes so tomorrow morning I go to the gym
4. mow grass today, weed flower beds, put down mulch before more rain comes Takes me over 2 hrs to mow our lawn, so no weeding of flowers beds

8. plan tomorrow's dinner meal
9. concentrate on distinguishing between hunger, cravings, desire Had to really work on this, but I did it! After we had our margarita and chips (hubbys idea to stop after we went to Home Depot), I was so hungry. I had a fiber one bar, and was almost going to grab another. Instead, drank more water, told myself that just because they taste "good", I don't really need it (Plus, I have learned the hard way that if I eat more than one of those things, I have tummy problems!)
10. read success stories on MFP
JFT, Friday
I am so tired today - was awake until 3 am. I felt like that margarita must have had tons of caffeine in it. and you know how it goes, when you lay awake all nite, you think of all the worse things you can to worry about. So today I am exhausted, so I have to be careful. I tend to want to overeat when I am tired. But ... I still got up and got my gym workout in
1. log all food
2. eat healthy
3. drink water
4. try and work in the yard this afternoon - weed flower beds before the rain comes again
5. work on business expenses - I am SO far behind on this!
6. plan the weekends meals

@slittlemeister I think your perspective on stress and emotional eating is right on! Thanks for the reminder. I have noticed that I feel better after grabbing carbs, but only for a few minutes. Then when my jeans won't zip the next day, I get pissed off! LOL
@junodog1 I was so excited to watch the finale of Amazing Race last night! then found out it isn't until next week! LOL Great minds... Which team are you rooting for?1 -

8. Hit my step goal + 1000 Okay. I'm already irritated about this one! I know for a fact that I hit my step goal since I worked from home and had my work computer set up on the breakfast counter and stood all day. I cleaned the house, ran up and down the basements stairs several times, cleaned up "gifts" left by our dog in the yard, weeded and thinned our garden, etc. Yet, my FitBit says 1,715 steps! It was in sleep mode all day! UGH!
9. Go to bed early tonight and try to rest up. It's not time yet, but I plan to do this!
THIS WEEKEND, I WILL:

2. Go through basement and both garages to get ready for rummage sale next weekend

9. Ride my bicycle over to my son's house to see the grandkids. Healthy and fun all rolled into one.

Today I will confront my fear of success.
Being overweight is not an embarrassment to my parents or spouse. Losing weight is not an attack on my coworkers who are not losing weight. I do not think I am better or worse than anyone else. I am not responsible for everyone's self esteem. Today I will choose to not eat a pint of ice cream. It is selfish and destructive, a waste of money and health.2 -

1. Log all food and stay in the green Actually never did any of this. Lol. Worked late and have been so out of the habit of it, I just didnt even think about it
2. Keep my drawer balanced at work
3. Make a shopping list for tonight/tomorrow
4. Make a yummy and delicious dinner when I get home from work
5. Spend some time on the couch with the DH
6. Lights off and tablet away by 10:30pm Probably not going to happen since it's already 10:15pm. Lol
So the goals for Saturday 5/27:
1. Actually log food and stay in green!
2. Keep drawer balanced at work
3. Go to gym on way home from work while DH is still working
4. Meet friend for dinner and talk about becoming a youth pastor at my church
5. Spend some time with the DH in the evening
6. Do some reading before bed
7. In bed with lights out and tablet down by 11:30(no work on Sunday)
Work was actually pretty good today. I got a formal write up for the huge difference I had in my drawer on Tuesday but at least I didnt get fired. I was really worried I was going to get let go. And I really should have been because the severity of the difference, but I got a written warning. So we'll meet again in 2 weeks to see if I did what I was supposed to. I had one minor thing at work that I thought I screwed up on, but it turned out that I didnt so that was really nice. I was pretty worried. Tomorrow is a short day, but will probably be really busy. It's Memorial Day Weekend at the Jersey Shore and the bank I'm at is about two blocks from the beach. The majority of this banks branches are in Northern New Jersey, so a lot of the traffic we'll see this weekend and the rest of the summer will be all the visitors coming from up north. But the weather hasnt been real great and it's not really supposed to improve at all this weekend, so I'm kind of hoping that it keeps everyone away! Lol
Well I hope everyone has a great day! I'll probably be back tomorrow a few times!

Friday

Stay within my calories
DRINK! It's hot in the U.K.
Make sure I do my 10,000 steps at least.
But mostly I just want to stay active and enjoy the beautiful (unusual) U.K. Weather 2 -

NSV-got into a pair of jeans I couldn't fit at Easter!
If I fail to plan, I plan to fail.
Just about to head to gym. Down 2 pounds since starting deficit in calories. Ate a high protein breakfast. (Created a recipe on MFP). Changed it up from my usual oatmeal & egg white. I think my carbs are a little too high.
Today I will walk into the weight area that i normally do not enter. A combination of fear & lack of knowledge holds me back. It's a 50/50 split of women & men in the area so that's not an issue. Time to leave the comfort zone, time to change it up.
Pretracked most meals/snacks. Already prepped a batch of veggies to be roasted this afternoon.
Adjusted calories to around 1,600. As long as I can have a protein smoothie, this seems to be attainable.

Drink 8 cups of water.
My binging has diminished so greatly-I now do two things consistently:
1. Sit for all meals or snacks w/o distraction.
2. Ask myself if I would be embarrassed if someone were to see me eating & what I'm eating. If the answer is no, then I'm on track.
Movies this afternoon with kids. No candy, maybe a small popcorn or a protein bar.
Going on picnic & kayaking with kids, DH & friends on Sunday. I'll be packing most of the picnic so I'll make sure there are lots of healthy choices. I've already planned for gym on Sunday & Monday early.
Put yourself on the list!
