That's so awesome that you're happy - I think that I'm probably happier too - I'm always pretty happy anyway, but just feeling free of the food issue is so huge for me (plus losing weight doesn't hurt either!).1 -

Fiancé left a plate in the dishwasher, so when I saw it, I decided to use a proper plate for my meal today. Super basic since I'm not cooking, but I thought I'd get in on the picture parade.
2 veggie dogs, corn, green beans, baked beans, 1/2 of a (accidentally crumbled in my bag) vegan protein cookie, blood orange-blueberry smoothie, and glass of red
Looks like something from summer camp LOL3 -

I LOVE PICTURES! FOOD PORN!0 -
I could actually die right now looking at that. I have, oh, 9 or 10 HOURS to go before I get to eat... I think I'll be having baked beans with whatever I have though, after seeing those...1

Beautiful meal, Britt! I love all of the colors!!1

Very interesting journaling. You are very honest about your eating habits and your struggles. It is very helpful. Thank you!3

Thanks for the support on this super basic meal! LOL! It was tasty, so I will give it that.
I'm glad I can be of some help, @gomissfitnes!

Down to 153.8 today! I have not been this low since 2014. 154.2 was the lowest I got two years ago before I gave up on that weight loss effort.
SN:
I have been thinking a lot about how much I was planning to cook once I go back to grad school, but I just remembered that I had all these plans to cook and make lotions and soaps and all this stuff when I got my MA because I thought I would have so much free time. Negative. I think I cooked for about a month before I realized I didn't have nearly as much time as I thought. And I ended up piling on a lot of weight and spending a bunch of money because I was ordering out so much but still buying groceries, holding onto the hope that I would start cooking again. I am considering getting a meal plan so that I can eat on campus when I have class Tuesday-Thursday and then cooking once a week for the 4 days I am home doing research (MAYBE - Whole Foods' hot bar/Trader Joe's frozen meals might be mainstays for those days, honestly). Now that I am only eating once a day, I have spent less than half of what I was spending in both groceries and takeout, so it will not be expensive not to cook. But I do love cooking and especially baking because they are therapeutic for me. But I don't know... I may have to play it by ear. And in that case, I won't have many recipes to share .1 -
Better things are on their way for sure!

Thanks, Sarah!
Got a nice 0.4 lb drop today, so I'm at 153.4! I'm still wishing on a star for 149, but I would be just as happy if I just pass the halfway point of my journey, which would be <152. If I can start August needing to lose less weight than I've lost so far, I will be a happy camper!
No pics from yesterday's dinner since I was volunteering. I took along my transportable food: Tasty Bite's organic basmati rice and bengal lentils, green juice, a protein bar, and 2 cookies.
I couldn't get through all of the rice, which was a nice feeling again. I woke up today really wanting something nice and fresh, though, so I think most of today's plate will be the leftover carrots, celery, and hummus. And I also picked up a yummy looking black bean salad that I will likely have with it as well.1 -

I couldn't get through all of my burger (veggie obviously) and fries last night, which is honestly UNHEARD of for me... Very nice feeling indeed!
