    Track: Yes
    Calories: no, over by 367 kcal :(
    Exercise: Yes, ca 8.2 km walking

    I constantly overeat by ca 150-350kcal with unplanned snacks. It feels that if I won't be able to have a snack, I'll die of hunger. Despite eating 4xday good, healthy, balanced & tasty meals. Rather than hunger, the snacking is more about boredom and bad habits I have to win. Somehow :/

    Gum! It works for me. When you walk in the kitchen for that unnecessary snack again, stick a piece of gum in your mouth instead. It usually helps me out for a while once a day. I can easily snack from sun up to sun down everyday. In the evening I use my crafting hobbies to keep my hands busy and my mind off of food. If you have anything you can use that way it can work well!

    @rawrxamberx Great week!! Sometimes weight loss surprises you, and it's a nice surprise and hopefully it can carry you to the next week :smile:

    @Ver9nika Honeslty, I used to have the snack problem and I just started with snacks that were low in calories and measure out the right portion and eat it slowly, you'll be surprised after the mental tricks how much easier it is. I used to (and on occasion still do when I have that stretch where I just don't feel like I'll make it without food) and I'll eat 4 pickle spears, it's 20 calories and eating them really slow, it helps me bridge that mental gap (because it's mental, your body isn't really hungry, there's hormones at play here that are tricking you into eating), and really just about any veggie will work, I use pickles because it's easy to pull a few out of the jar, but you can use carrots, broccoli, celery, etc...it's really about the trick, you're eating something, but it's low in calories and healthy.

    Well that was to be expected. Between TOM and the last couple of days not working out and eating a bit too much. Will do better next week.

    PW = 314.8

    Difference: -0.2

    This is going to take a while averaging 0.2 per week. But better down than up -- right?

    @mlhopp93 Weight loss isn't linear, this week might be slow, next week might see a huge drop...the trick is sticking with it even when it's not as fast :smile:

    If you really enjoy it then make it fit! Maybe just one less glass. That’s a lot right there! Don’t give it up if you love it, you’ll miss it! I have that issue with sweets. Have to fit in a bit or I’ll miss it and over indulge.

    @SaletaS I have moderation issues, so for me it has to be all or nothing...I'm just one of those kinds of people.
    BUT maybe you could try cutting one glass out, at least 2 days a week, and see if that helps, start small and then mentally you'll start feeling like you need it less and less, and then maybe go to cutting a glass out of your day 3 days a week, making gradual change can help over the long term...if you cut 2 glasses of wine out a week, that can go a long way to reducing total weekly intake...think of it this way.....your daily totals add to your weekly totals, and usually people find it easier to reduce daily intake to meet weekly calorie goals, but some people eat normal for 6 days and fast a whole day to make up the difference, and in the long run, it works, so maybe try reducing it just a couple days a week and then go from there...I really feel like you have to find what works for you and if 2 glasses of wine a day works, then go for it, but if it doesn't, make some changes and see how it works...everyone is different and what works for me might not work for you, it's really about figuring out your body :smile:
    Maybe that makes sense, I hope it makes sense...

    What a simple, but great idea! Thank you @batgirl140 ! I went to kitchen right away and put gum, where I can see it :)

    Thank you @AB0215 :) pickles are the good idea! I've tried raw veggies and fruits, but they make ma hungry, i.e. after several carrots or apples or similar, I crave for soft, warm food. Pickles are not so hard and crunchy and might do the trick :)

    Hi All,

    Happy rainy Saturday from NY!

    Username:mg07030
    Weigh in day: Saturday
    PW: 143
    CW: 143

    This is a trend for the last 2 weeks. Although I did a lot of spin and weights the last week/ I do have DOMS today- but hopefully next week I’ll see a whoosh. I notice a pattern of staying the same for 2 weeks and then a loss. I think I’m going to dip my carbs low to change it up this week.

    Have an awesome day!
