It feels so good to be committed to a reduced calorie eating plan now. A Christmas photo of me shocked me into reality! I now plan to use it as my 'before' picture a year from now :) My biggest challenge is getting through the afternoon at work without snacking. I keep telling myself that when I feel my stomach growling it's just my body burning fat. Don't know if it's true, but it helps. Best of luck to all!

    I work 9 hours days so I used to snack a lot too. I always felt like 3pm came and I was starving. So I started planning a snack for 3 specifically. I always try to keep is small do it’s not full of calories but big enough to satisfy me till dinner. Try fruit or some almonds. Also something that helped me a lot was removing all the snacks from my desk top and drawers. I keep my snack on my lunch box in till it’s time to eat it.

    You don't need to be starving hungry to lose weight...

    Thank you all for your inspiring suggestions! I'll take them to heart. I know for me the toughest days are in the beginning. It's nearly 11 am, and I've only thought about lunch a couple times, so things are improving!!
